The season after the end of the 1st quarter

Well today I want to talk about this weekend's game between the Broncos and Bucs. Now I know there are a lot of fans that are freaked out about our defense based on what happened last week against the Chiefs, and i'm not going to sit here and tell you that it will all be okay because honestly I don't think it will. I think don't think our defense is going to win any games for us this year, but don't worry I don't think that will stop us from making the playoffs, and we may even win the division, but that is where it ends.

I hate to say it, but we are no serious contender, at least not this season. True our offense looks good but I don't think we have established an identity yet, and what I mean by that is we don't really have that X factor that intimidates people. I think we are getting there, but I think we still need to get our faces kicked in the mud a few more times before that happens. However, on a side note when Champ Bailey up ended Larry Johnson last weekend and caused that fumble, that was a glimpse of what I am talking about. Unfortunately in my view we are still 2 players away from that on defense. We need a new middle linebacker, and we need a nasty defensive tackle. Maybe we they are already on our team and they just haven't got put it all together yet, (Somehow I doubt that) or maybe this coming off season we can pick someone up in the draft.

So to sum up I think we are going to get knocked around a little more before we will truely be contenders. So hang in there you fair whether fans, our Super Bowl drought will have to go on for at least one more year, but who knows we are only at the end of the 1st quarter of the season and there is still a lot of football to be played.

As far as prediction for this weeks game. I think our offense will bouse back and score some points even against a good Tampa Bay D. I think our defense will play about the same so we will have to score at least 35 to win this game.

Final: Broncos 34- Bucs 30
