The story of this game was Jay Cutler’s return to Denver and he played very well completing 15 of 21 passes for 144 yards with a TD.  Too bad the Broncos’ QBs couldn’t come close to matching his performance.  Kyle Orton started this game and he completed 12 of 16 passes for 96 yards before leaving with a finger injury.  Rookie Tim Brandstater finished up the game by completing 8 of 12 passes for 110 yards with a interception.  He also lost a fumble.  Darius Walker led the way on the ground in this game with 38 yards rushing on 10 carries (3.8 ypc) with a TD run.  Correll Buckhalter was also solid carrying the ball 9 times for 37 yards (4.1 ypc).  Peyton Hillis was busy with 7 carries for 24 yards (3.4 ypc) with a TD run.  He also caught 2 passes for 21 yards (10.5 avg) in this game.  WR Kenny McKinley led the Broncos in the passing game with 75 yards on 4 catches (18.8 avg).  Eddie Royal was also busy with 5 grabs for 44 yards (8.8 avg).  The Broncos finished up with 297 total yards in this game (93 rushing, 204 passing).

Linebacker D.J. Williams led the way for the Broncos on defense with 7 tackles.  The Bears finished up with 357 total yards in this game (114 rushing, 243 passing).

The Broncos just couldn’t put points on the board in this game despite the fact that they held the ball for 35:07!  Kyle Orton looked much better in this game for the Broncos completing 18 of 26 passes for 182 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception.  Chris Simms was o.k. in limited duty completing 5 of 7 passes for 44 yards.  Rookie Tim Brandstater finished up this game by completing 2 of 4 passes for 1 yard.  Darius Walker led the way for the Broncos on the ground in this game with 48 yards rushing on 11 carries (4.4 ypc).  WRs Jabar Gaffney (5 rec, 55 yards) and Eddie Royal (4 rec, 44 yards) led the way in the passing game for the Broncos.  The Broncos finished up with 282 total yards (81 rushing, 201 passing) in this game and that’s just not good enough.

LB D.J. Williams led the way for the Broncos’ defense with 6 tackles and a sack.  LB Spencer Larsen and CB Champ Bailey pitched in with six tackles apiece in this game.  The Seahawks only finished with 248 total yards in this game (72 rushing, 176 passing) but Matt Hasselbeck did scald them when he was in the game.

The Broncos just didn’t play a good game last Friday against the Niners.  Kyle Orton was pathetic completing 9 of 16 passes for 89 yards with 3 pickoffs!  As bad as Orton was, Chris Simms was the opposite.  Simms completed 11 of 17 passes for 142 yards with 2 TD passes.  He almost brought the Broncos all the way back to win the game but he fell just short.  Peyton Hillis led the Broncos on the ground in this game with 49 yards rushing on 10 carries (4.9 ypc).  WR Kenny McKinley led the Broncos with 71 yards receiving on 3 catches (23.7 avg) with 1 TD grab.  Eddie Royal also had a solid game with 4 receptions for 46 yards (11.5 avg).  The Broncos need to protect the football as they mostly wasted the 341 yards of total offense they put up.

Converted fullback turned linebacker Spencer Larsen led the way on defense for the Broncos in this game with six tackles.  The Niners only had 278 yards in this game but they rushed for 4.5 yards per carry and they completed 77.8% of their passes.  The Broncos have a lot to work on before the regular season starts.

The Broncos looked pretty good last Friday Night in Arizona.  Darrell Hackney got to show what he could do in this game and he was impressive.  Hackney completed 17 of 26 passes for 208 yards with a 87-yard TD pass to WR Keary Colbert.  He also carried the football 8 times for 35 yards (4.4 ypc) in this game.  RB Anthony Alridge had a huge game for the Broncos against the Cardinals as he carried the football 23 times for 110 yards (4.8 ypc).  WR Keary Colbert led the Broncos’ in receiving with 105 yards on 5 carries (21.0 avg).  The Broncos finished up this game with 187 yards rushing on 42 carries (4.5 ypc) and they also completed 17 of 26 passes for 206 yards.

The defense made a lot of big plays in this football game to help the Broncos pull away and win the game.  Linebacker Wesley Woodyard led the way in this game for the Broncos with 6 tackles and 2 sacks.  Linebacker Spencer Larsen was also effective with 4 tackles and a interception that he returned 39 yards.  CB Jack Williams only had two tackles but he returned a interception 89 yards for a TD.  The Cardinals finished up with 71 yards rushing on 22 carries (3.2 ypc) and they also completed 21 of 37 passes for 288 yards.  The Broncos finished up the preseason with a 2-2 record.

The defense had big time issues trying to stop Aaron Rodgers who was shredding them through the air.  CB Domonique Foxworth and LB Jamie Winborn led the Broncos’ defense with 6 tackles apiece against the Packers.  The Broncos played well against the run holding the Packers to 94 yards rushing on 32 carries (2.6 ypc), but, the Packers completed 20 of 28 passes for 187 yards.

The Broncos looked really good against the Cowboys last Saturday.  Jay Cutler was incredible for the Broncos in this game as he completed 16 of 20 passes for 178 yards with 1 TD pass.  Patrick Ramsey also looked solid for the Broncos as he completed 8 of 13 passes for 67 yards.  Darrell Hackney only threw 1 pass in this game and he completed it for 10 yards.  Michael Pittman led the Broncos in rushing with 41 yards rushing on 16 carries (2.6 ypc).  Selvin Young also had a solid game with 36 yards rushing on 9 carries (4.0 ypc).  Andre Hall pitched in with 24 yards rushing on 7 carries (3.4 ypc) with a 1-yard TD run.  Rookie Eddie Royal led the Broncos in receiving on Saturday Night with 67 yards on 2 catches (33.5 avg).  Brandon Marshall was also busy with 6 catches for 59 yards (9.8 avg) with a TD grab from Jay Cutler.  The Broncos finished up with 101 yards rushing on 32 carries (3.2 ypc) last Saturday and they completed 25 of 34 passes for 253 yards.

The defense didn’t play great despite only allowing 13 points as the Cowboys rolled up 324 yards on them.  CB Domonique Foxworth led the Broncos with 6 tackles against the Cowboys.  CB Jack Williams also had a solid game with 2 tackles and a interception that he returned 34 yards.  The Cowboys finished up with only 70 yards rushing on 20 carries (3.5 ypc) and they completed 22 of 35 passes for 254 yards.

The Broncos fought hard on Saturday Night but they lost on the last play of the game as Kris Brown nailed a 25-yard field goal as time ran out.  Jay Cutler looked good Saturday completing 8 of 10 passes for 59 yards.  He also carried the ball 1 time for 15 yards and it was a TD scamper.  Patrick Ramsey looked awful completing 6 of 11 passes for 32 yards with 2 interceptions.  Darrell Hackney had a solid effort in this game completing 4 of 7 passes for 62 yards and he also carried the ball 1 time for 16 yards.  Andre Hall led the Broncos in rushing against the Texans with 43 yards on 8 carries (5.4 ypc).  Anthony Alridge also was busy rushing for 20 yards on 4 carries (5.0 ypc) and catching 3 passes for 20 yards (6.7 avg).  TE Tony Scheffler led the Broncos in receiving with 47 yards on 3 grabs (15.7 avg).  The Broncos finished up with 123 yards rushing on 26 carries (4.7 ypc).  They also completed 18 of 28 passes for 153 yards against the Texans.

The Denver Broncos didn’t even try to win this game which should say something about there competition last Thursday Night.

The Broncos were undermanned last Saturday Night against the Cleveland Browns but they still looked o.k.

The Broncos just couldn’t handle the Cowboys’ all out offensive assault on Saturday Night.
