And it certainly won’t be the last.  Read more from the Denver Post >>>>

Can Denver’s defense take next step? - Barring a setback from the neck injury that cost him the entire 2011 season, Peyton Manning has the Denver Broncos’ offense covered. That side of the ball will be fine and will be in playoff form.  But what about the defense?   That side of the ball will be a key to Denver’s season. If the 2012 Denver defense can make the strides it did in 2011, the Broncos have a chance to be a serious contender.  Read more from ESPN >>>>

Jaguars owner: Tebow didn’t want to play for Jacksonville - When it became apparent Tim Tebow’s days with the Denver Broncos were numbered, the Jaguars immediately popped up as a logical team to take him on.

 Peyton Manning Does Not Make the Denver Broncos Super Bowl Contenders - Contrary to popular belief, replacing Tim Tebow with Peyton Manning will not give John Elway another Super Bowl ring.  In fact, the Denver Broncos will not even challenge for the Super Bowl next year.   The day after Peyton Manning signed with Denver, the Broncos Super Bowl odds improved from 50-1 to 10-1.  I wonder if the odds-makers would reconsider after reading this.  Read more from Bleacher Report >>>>

Broncos Mailbag: Why didn’t Bill Belichick learn better from the Broncos? - When Bill Belichick let the Giants score on that run late in the game, the first thing I thought of was when Mike Holmgren let Terrell Davis score in the 1998 Super Bowl for the Broncos against the Packers.
