5-0! You wanna call this luck?

I realize I've missed posting about a few big games but I'll catch up everyone who reads this-me.



First game-well third but first one I'm talking about. Broncos Vs Oakland Raiders. I had this thing going with a lady at work who was convinced that Jamarcus Russel-with his 35.2% completion rate( I mean really if he is your starter then what kinda player is your 2nd string quarterback? 15%? and third string? 1%?!).- and the Oakland Raiders could Defeate Kyle Orton and the Broncs. I almost wish I woulda put money on it like she wanted. but I didn't cuz in a fair bet you have to have at least a small chance of winning. and she didn't. and The Broncos took the game 23-3. 23-3?! We made touchdowns you made a single Field goal. that is all. Woo tough Raiders... Jamarcus Russel threw 2 picks(or interceptions) in the game. little hint-Oakland isn't wearing white and if a not your player catches it it doesn't count on your completion percent. Here are the highlights from youtube( property of the NFL)

Also Josh McDaniels made a record here. First rookie coach to go 3-0! WOO!!!!





Game 2( or 4) Dallas Cowboys. Ok I'll admit this game did have me worried. A lot. There are 5 cowboy fans at work. 5! and just me for the broncos. so This game was really important for Denver to win. at least for me I waited the whole game for something. anything. But the Game was just really close. I kid you not I almost peed a little when it was 10-10 int he 4th. But then the highlight of the game came with Brandon Marshall's amazing catch with 2 minutes left in the game . here is the video

He Caught the ball out of the Dallas players hands, broke two tackles and took on 7 Dallas guys for 51 yards single handed and came out on top to put the score at 17-10 Broncos. That's skill. I don't care anyone says that's skill then came the last 5 seconds of the game. Dallas on the 2 yard line with on 4th and goal with not their first but second try to tie this game up and send it into overtime and Tony Romo threw against Champ Baily. Twice. Both Times Champ came out on top-Hey it's in the name-and the cowboys went home 2-2 and We moved to 4-0! maybe the 5 sacks Romo got in the game messed with his head a little too much. Or maybe the broncos Have just found their groove.



Also side note. one of my coworkers was not happy about that game. She and her uncle made a bet and because Dallas lost she has to get a Denver tattoo. The moral of the story. Don't be to confident



Week 5. New England. This game also Scared me a little. But we had a secret weapon. Josh McDaniels was Bill Belicheks Assistant For many years. He knows the Pat's. He knows Tom Brady he knows. Again this came down to the very end and even went into overtime but Broncos Clenched it in OT 20-17! WOO 5-0!!! (Youtube doesn't have highlights up yet. I'll add them when they do.) But the coolest part of this game was that after the game the entire Coaching staff of New England came over to congratulate McDaniels. including some players and Bill Belichek. That's Classy. I have a little less hatred in my heart for the Patriots now. I still think Tom Brady Is stuck up but The rest of the team well they changed my mind a little yesterday.

5-0 Yes the only other teams in the NFL that can say that are the colts, giants, vikings and BRONCOS!!! The last time we went 5-0 was in '98 and we won the Superbowl. just something to consider...

Anyway week six Monday Vs San Diego on ESPN or on NFL.com then click on the game at the top of the screen. Should be exciting. I'm posting the prediction that it'll be another close game and giving it a 55-45 percent chance we'll win if we can keep our heads. But who knows. With football it's all up in the air
