You obviously haven't watched the Orton to Lloyd connection this year. Orton had two 40 plus bombs against the Ravens last week to Lloyd that hit Lloyd in stride in the endzone. Orton has 7 pass plays of over 40 yards and only 1 of them was because of YAC and that was to Eddie Royal.

Denver was destroyed by the injury bug in training camp. Denver will probably finish 8-8 this year because we are decimated by injuries. Next year Denver should be Super Bowl contenders once Dumervil and Ayers get to play together.

You got Ayers with our pick and he is not doing phenomenal lol. Be real. With our other first rounder you traded it for a 2 rounder to draft a bum DB who I dont even think is still on your team. KO was the only benefit for you from that trade and you already arent committing to him long term. This year proves Tebow was a mistake and you should have just built around the perfect qb for your system

I've always thought Kyle could be a good QB in the NFL. He played in a great system under Joe Tiller at Purdue and broke many of Brees' records. I don't root against him, I just don't like the propaganda that Mikey keeps spewing.

idk this year he looks way better at the deep ball which isnt saying much cause he was really bad at it before. For their system the deep ball doesnt even matter. But mikey is right he has been killing it with Lloyd all over the field.

Robert Ayers is playing awesome. He is by far our best run defender and is in the top 5 in the NFL in QB hurries. He is a force.

We traded our first round pick to get Alphonso Smith we used your first round pick to draft Demaryius Thomas and Tim Tebow.

Awesome. It only took you 5 weeks to start the 'wait until next year' mindset...im proud of you Mikey. Its past your bedtime, the rest of us adults need to plan for the playoffs. Enjoy your 8-8 record and dreams of a Superbowl next year.

Biggest problem in Denver is they have nothing to keep the D honest when it gets to game time; between the 20 Denver moves at will; but on 3rd and long or in the redzone they stall b/c their is no run game....not even a symbolance of a threat of one; it's weaker then a mikey thread. KO is even suprising me w/how well he has played, but until the 3rd % and the red zone effeciency(td's not fg's) and the td's per attempt(gawd for the amt of attempts he's got a pathetic amt of td's) goes up, he's just a 2nd teir qb(still not bad).
