The Denver Broncos Strong Start

Few people thought the Denver Broncos would get off to such a fast start, but it happened.

Swapping out Jay Cutler for Kyle Orton isn’t exactly appealing, and neither is losing Brandon Marshall without anyone else to fill his void.

New head coach Josh McDaniels didn’t start his new job off with a bang. After upsetting QB Jay Cutler to the point where he wanted to be traded, the Broncos looks as they were doomed.

It’s true that the two teams they’ve played against so far have been pretty weak opponents. The Browns are a cupcake matchup, and the Bengals, even when an away game, would normally be considered a pretty easy opponent too. On the other hand, Cincy just stunned Packers fans with a win at Lambeau in week 2, so maybe the Bengals are better than people thought.

Maybe this team is better than people let on, and maybe the Broncos’ win in Cincinnati was more difficult than people believed it to be. The Bengals looked pretty legit to me with Carson Palmer, Ochocinco and Cedric Benson running the offense.

QB Kyle Orton is the prototypical “game manager”, while he won’t put up the tremendous statistical performances like Drew Brees or Peyton Manning, Orton won’t lose many games either.

Individually, the Broncos are doing well on defense too. Take Elvis Dumervil, for example, whose four sacks during the first two quarters against the Browns are more than any Denver Bronco has ever achieved in a half of football.

Now that’s serious. If Denver can keep this level of play up on defense, they’re going to surprise a lot of fans. We all know that defense wins championships!
