NFL Fans Everywhere are Scratching their Heads

Strike up a conversation with any football fan lately and you get the same reaction...this season is so wierd?! Personally, I love how things are shaping up, despite my Broncos' lasckluster performances. It's nice to NOT have a clear cut winner by week 8. I love the parody and the mistery as to which teams will make the post season.

While watching last night's game, everyone had the same thought...what happend to Indy? Are they really that banged up? Remember with Peyton Manning could carry the entire team to victory and make it look easy? I am thrilled for Tennessee Titans fans, but am no where near ready to declare them the best team in the NFL. Are you?

My absolute favorite point to make with other fans is this...remember how a lot of folks were declaring the Raiders as this season's sleeper team? Ha! I was saying it then and I'll repeat it now...a sleeper team is a team that sneaks up on you in the season! It cannot be predicted. I never believed Raiders would be this year's sleeper team (and not just because I am a Broncos fan.) I just believe you cannot predict those things.

Now, St. Louis? They are sneaking a bit. But still too soon to know which team will be this year's surprise. I do, however, look forward to finding out. God bless the NFL & all who love it!

Another New England Superbowl...Do We Care?

The only thing that's got me excited about this year's Superbowl is a great new site called Jinx the Jock. It started as a Jessica Romo bashing site and has progressed. Other than that I don't care about watching another New England game. I get it, they are the best ever. Can we skip the rest and just give them the trophy now? Cuz the only thing worse than their winning again would be watching Eli Manning win - yuck!

This past Sunday I was totally cheering for Favre, I am so bummed he's not playing, then it would at least be exciting. Sorry Giants fans, I appreciate you love your team but I just hate Manning. I do like Strahan though.

I definitely have other things to look forward to on the big day, one of which is my birthday - a big one - and a house full of fun people. Plus the Superbowl 5k and beer garden kicks off the day so the rest is a blur anyway.

It's always sad when the season ends but at least I won a little money and I have high hopes for Jay Cutler in the coming years. Just hope that Lynch stays another year. The good thing about the season ending is that summer is on its way!

New England's Season Sparks Sweet Memories

It was nearly ten years ago that the Denver Broncos had their last great Superbowl Season. We went 12 weeks without a loss and each time another team does that it reminds me of that awesome time.

I was living in New York City, I was single, I was just hitting my 30s and I loved watching football in the cold weather on Eastern time. I watched Denver games in 2 different regular bars - one was brutally destroyed on 9/11 (The Marriott) and one was the Riviera Cafe. I loved watching weekly with all the other fans from another city.

I distinctly remember the 63 yard field goal by Jason Elam that season. Wow.

The irony is we discounted our game with the NY Giants on week 14 and we lost. It happens to the best of teams, the Patriots nearly lost to the Eagles, no one saw that coming. Hell, I went to a Ducks game last Sunday night expecting just another boring Pats-scoring-like-crazy blowout.

Ah the memories. Good times.

PACKERS OR COWBOYS?

Personally I am going with Brett Favre on this one. I realize both teams are awesome, the Cowboys have a powerful offense and it's in Dallas, but my gut is telling me that Favre's Pack will win this game. I hope it's as spectacular and grandiose as I imagine it to be. I cannot wait! You gotta love the return of Thursday night football, thanks NFL network and my new best friend, DirecTV!

As for our beloved Broncos, wow. What a crushing loss to ech, ech, Rex Grossman. Well, actually we lost to Devin Hester, but what-ever. I still am thankful for Jay Cutler's evolution. Something good is definitely starting to happen in Denver - long term anyway.

Okay, so tomorrow night, Favre, Romo and some cold beer and leftovers! Yeehaw! - Angela

Our New Home

When we first created this blog, we used the free service offered with our hosting, but found it to be a little too much work. Now we're here at Blogger and hope that the new, easy to use app will get us blogging more. There is so much to talk about.

Our Broncos finally gave us a reason to smile last Sunday. It's been a rough year for us Broncos fans. We have no dillusions of a post season, but we'll keep cheering to stay ahead of KC and Oakland and possibly do some damage to San Diego's run. I am very happy with our new RB, Young. Hope he continues to impress.

This week we have a Monday night game in Denver hosting Tennessee, oh that Young is good, so I hope our D can step up like they did against KC. According to the injury report, Lynch is practicing so I hope that means he'll play. You can really see how we're suffering without him out there.

Welcome to our blog if you just found us. Hope you stick around and join in the conversation. We love NFL!
