Mile High Report
After days and days of football but no Broncos games, it feels like forever since we’ve gotten to watch our favorite team. But absence makes the heart grow fonder, so what a way to finish out the Thanksgiving Weekend than the team in Orange and Blue getting to entertain us once again. And while this matchup should not be the tough competition it seemed it would be at the start of the season, it still serves as the perfect tool-sharpening game for Bo Nix and the offense, a chance to pad those sack stats for the defense and a great time to get Pat Surtain back into game shape. All before the playoffs push.
I am going to this game and praying the rain does not fall but rather Broncos touchdowns come raining down. Thanks drtacp for giving us a fantabulous UFG we’ve come to expect each week. Just another perquisite (you all will get this later) for being a Broncos fan on MHR!
**MHR – Broncos are 9-2, coming off a win over the Chiefs and sitting alone atop the AFC West, and just had a rest week before the final 5-game push to finish the season. How good is life for a Broncos fan right now?
drtacp: Life as a Broncos fan is great! 7 wins vs. 39 days! Glorious indeed. I retired in July from a company of 200 employees locally with about a dozen Chefs fans and and a half dozen Broncos fans. I emailed the fans after the win vs. KC. I have young neighbors across the street who gave birth to their first child early November and who are transplants from Denver. I had been flying a blue Broncos flag on gamedays for the last 10 years. He now flies it as I bought a new orange Broncos flag a couple of weeks ago. Being this week’s UFG respondent has me stoked as well.
**MHR – When the schedule came out this matchup looked to be a blockbuster between two sophomore QBs who played above their expected pay grade last year and got their teams to the playoffs for the first time in a while. It’s no longer looking like that kind of competitive contest, so what do the Broncos need to do to take this seriously and not overlook the Commanders just because they aren’t the team we all expected.
drtacp: There has been truth to those who say this team has played down to their competition this season. I too am disappointed that Jayden Daniels is out for this game; shout out to Koy Light. This game is firmly in Denver’s hand even if we go for that almost trademark slow start many fans dread. I have no doubt that we will win convincingly, and it will not require heroics but full team effort humming in sync. I think this could be a beautiful win to witness. The win over KC was a beautiful win.
**MHR...
