I must admit that I was one of the harshest critics of the "new" look Broncos!  Specially the coach, Josh MacDaniels has proven me and every other doubter wrong for five straight weeks.  I was also on the side that said that Kyle Orton was a bum and had no right starting for the Denver Broncos!  I love the way Josh MacDaniels is so passionate about the game and is so critical of the mistakes made by his own players.  As, for Kyle Orton?  I owe him a big apology for not seeing his skills and for not believing in him.  I now know that Kyle is the perfect fit for MacDaniels offense and he can throw the ball deep downfield whenever the play calls for it.  I must now eat my crow, but at least i will enjoy it because I love my Denver Broncos.

I'm happy to see someone actually admit they were wrong. This is the second straight week of someone guaranteeing the Broncos losing and getting served humble pie.

Its nice to see you fans dusting off your jackets for once...

I was wondering what happened to all those Bronco fans back in the day..long time in hiding, nice to get fresh air..no?

Orton...what skills? Hes a stationary qb with a good O-line that knows how to catch..so uh what skills again?

I've been diehard since I can remember and I know that I'm not alone, considering the sellout streak for the Broncos goes back like 36 years. And is second to the Redskins (I guess we're more diehard that Cowboys fans).

You're just pissed because he punked your pretty boy QB.

Happy to say I was never a doubter.... Wasn't 100% sold, but I always felt that McKid should coach a few games before we decide. Have to say I LOVE McDaniels, to see him fist pumping, jumping into players arms and just plain happy shows me everything I need to see. That's our coach and I'm proud to say it. As a diehard fan it is amazing to see a coach that seems to live and die with a team right there with you.

Let's not forget Mike Nolan in this love-fest, the D has looked amazing. Saw on a post somewhere where a Broncos fan suggested the team give him a 20 year deal with like $10 million a year so he won't even think about considering a run at a head coaching job... you know what, Bowlen can afford it, so I like the idea.

Other than that, Orton looks great, Marshall is earning that new deal he wants, Champ is Champ again, Dawkins is ageless and the heart of the Defense, Dumervil and DJ look like 2 of the best LB's in the game, Andra Davis looks like a great signing, Moreno was worth the pick, Royal showed up last week (I think Orton needed to get used to this system, he gets it now so Royal and Marshall will be big the rest of the season), Buckhalter is a beast..... do I need to go on?

Only think I'd like to see is Hillis used on short yardage attempts, and to see Ayers make a play of two. But that's really it.

Team looks good, big game Monday night vs SD, chance to be 6-0 with a three game lead in the AFC West. GO BRONCOS!!!!!

The comment about giving Mike Nolan a contract worth 10 mil/yr for 20 yrs.....Genius. I'm also a long time Bronco fan that has to eat crow. I can't remember a time in my 30 yrs that I wasn't glued to every game and piece of news about them. I gotta say "you were right" to anyone that held their composure after the McDaniels hire and just said "give him a shot" I found my self running around the living room cheering as Mcdaniels did his fist pump and ran across the field toward the crowd. 5-0 is great and I'm shocked. Bring on the Chargers.
