The further a team advances in the playoffs, the harder it is to accept the fact that life as we knew it, for the last three or four months, has changed.  Depending on how your teams’ season ends, it will definitely impact your feelings as you start the, sometimes difficult, transition into the offseason.  Ask 49er fans or Raven fans how they felt one week ago compared to how Bronco fans felt the night we watched the Patriots annihilate our team – in the first half alone!

In order to try to help live through the transition into the offseason, I will tune into this evening’s pro bowl and keep an eye out for the Bronco players to see how they contribute to the AFC team – both on the field and on Twitter.  Another thing that seems to help is to randomly search YouTube for Denver Bronco related videos.  The last couple of days, I have done that and listed some of the great plays from the Broncos history below.  I have added a brief synopsis of the play or situation, as well as, a link to each video.  The plays were numbered by the individual who uploaded them, so you may or may not agree with the ranking.  I have listed them below in chronologically order.  The order doesn’t really matter because after this season, the list definitely needs to be revised.  Enjoy!

The draft is coming, so I will start to look at impact players at the college level. I am anxiously waiting for the release of next year’s schedule, and I plan to revisit some of the amazing games we experienced this season.

Marty Schottenheimer still has nightmares about John Elway and Mile High Stadium (Stephen Dunn/Getty Images)

Both the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs came into their 1992 showdown at Mile High Stadium tied for first in the AFC West with identical 3-1 records. Marty Schottenheimer came in with a 1-8 against John Elway up to that point (0-5 at Mile High), and that mark was going to get a lot worse before Elway retired after the 1998 season. The Broncos would eventually finish the season at 8-8, and 1992 would prove to be Dan Reeves’ final season as head coach of the team.
