It’s that time of the week. Here are 10 reasons why being a Broncos fan is better than being a Cowboys fan.
1. It takes a full team to beat the Broncos, but one blonde singer to beat the Cowboys.
2. The only reason the new Cowboys Stadium has Astroturf is to keep their fans from grazing.
3. Parking at Cowboys Stadium, a.k.a. ”The Jones-Mahal” is $75 per game. I could get a great SEAT inside Invesco for that price.
4. The Cowboys got our leftovers in Montrae Holland – the guy who every time he got the urge to exercise, laid down until the feeling passed.
5. Shouldn’t their offensive line belong [...]

Josh McDaniels was pleased with his team’s play, but still sees lots of room for improvement.
Eddie Royal’s production is still down from last season. Throw the man the ball!

The national media has started the debate about the Broncos 3-0 start.
Last week, you had the chance to ask Eddie Royal some questions. Here are his answers. This week, you’ve got the chance to ask Elvis Dumervil a question.

AFC West Breakdown: Week 3
(Kim Constantinesco writes for Predominantly Orange, which is FSB’s Denver Broncos blog. Representing the rest of the AFC West are Arrowhead Addict, Bolt Beat and Just Blog Baby.)
Things are beginning to play out the way I thought they would with Oakland and Kansas City sitting at the bottom of the rankings while Denver and San Diego duke it out for bragging rights. Gloves are on and the bell has rung. From here on out, the most interesting storyline in the AFC West will be the race for #1. In week 3, the Chokeland Raiders punched themselves in the face while the Chiefs made Kevin [...]
Broncos-Raiders Highlights
I love Monday’s lately. Life is so much better when your team wins on Sunday. It just makes the full week ahead look a little more manageable. For those of you who weren’t able to catch the game, and feel like SportsCenter isn’t doing the Broncos justice, here are the highlights:
The taste of victory is oh so sweet – especially when it comes against the Raiders! It’s a good thing for Raiders fans that the game was blacked out in the Oakland area. The Broncos are now 3-0 and sitting pretty atop the AFC West. Many people will say “Sure the Broncos are 3-0, but look who they’ve played.” They played the Bengals who beat the Steelers today, they beat the admittedly poor Browns last week, and they beat the Raiders who gave the Chargers a run for their money in week 1. The great thing about football is a win is a win. Ask the Detroit Lions [...]
CLIP OF THE WEEK!
This year’s Broncos defense is off and running (over quarterbacks) with the conversion to a 3-4 scheme. The last time the team had success in a 3-4 was with our infamously dubbed “Orange Crush” defense in the 70’s. While the strength of the original “Orange Crush” was its linemen, the current squad has arguably one of the best secondaries. The 3-4 was pioneered by Denver defensive coordinator Joe Collier back in 1969. The ‘Orange Crush” is still ranked #9 of all-time according to NFL Network in our Clip of the Week!
Broncos v. Raiders Preview
Get your Raider Hater hats out because the Broncos and the Oakland Raiders (1-1) meet for the first time this season. Despite Mike Shanahan’s absence, the Raiders will be out for blood. This is arguably one of the most heated rivalries in the NFL making the Black Hole a place where even the most established players can be swallowed up. Just ask the San Diego Chargers after their near loss in week 1. The Raiders are a different force this year. Last week they skidded past the Chiefs with a middle finger in the air as they only had 166 yards of total [...]
Josh McDaniels Interview
Josh McDaniels went on Fox Sports Radio to talk about Brandon Marshall’s limited time on the field against the Browns as well as if he’s changed the offense to fit Kyle Orton. He also goes into whether or not he’s talked to Bill Belichick this season. He says this about the Broncos 2-0 start:
“We can only be 2-0 at this point and we’re certainly not pleased with everything that we’ve done on the field, but we’ve played well enough to beat two teams. In this league, every win is critical so we’re happy where we’re at and we’re getting ready [...]
Drive, Drive, Drive
Sometimes it can be tough keeping up with storylines from around the league. However, it’s necessary if you’re involved with fantasy football or any kind of football pool. To help you with your efforts, Fan Sided Sports has a new feature called “The NFL Drive-Thru.” It is a weekly installment that covers every division in fewer than 100 words. Yours truly is a contributor for the AFC West, so go over and give it a look.
In other news, the Broncos are holding their annual Drive for Life at Invesco Field on October 13th from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. For those of [...]
The Raiders are the bud of many jokes in the NFL. It would be a great injustice to you, Broncos fans, if we left them alone this week. So, here are the top 10 reasons why being a Broncos fan is still better than being a Raiders fan.
1. Where would you rather see a game? In a gloomy black hole or closer to the heavens at 1 mile above sea level?
2. Averaging 4 wins a season for the past 6 years gives them the title “Detroit of the West”.
3. Their 2009 first round draft selection (Darrius Heyward-Bay) was taken solely on his 4.23 [...]
