 Denver Broncos
When it's a dark horse, of course! Quick! Whom do you like for AFC champion in 2008? Setting all blindness because of loyalty aside, if you're in step with bookmakers and pundits, you probably chose: A) last year's Super Bowl champion, who played the offseason conservatively and returns to perhaps the weakest division in the NFL; B) the...

Man I can't wait for the season to start. Os Davis hit the nail on the head with this article. The Broncos are not the favorite in the AFC, but they have to be in the top 3-4. Which means its a good possibility for them to win the AFC. People keep saying Cutler is a rookie, which technically he is, but the real game experience he got last year is invaluable. I think they are under estimating Cutler, yes he will make some mistakes, but with the big improvements Shanahan has made to the defense most of those mistakes won't hurt us. Plus now Shanahan can use his full playbook which he could not do with Plumer. Plumer just never could learn how to be a pocket passer which limited Shanahan. I can't wait to see Shanahan use his full genius now, which we have not seen since the last Super Bowl the Broncos won. With the improvements on defense we will now be able stop the run and get to the QB without using the blitz, and I can't wait to see what the best secondary in the NFL does, receivers beware. I believe Travis Henry should have the best season of his career this year, plus we still have Mike Bell, which I believe should have been the starter over Tatum Bell last year, plus Cecil Sapp has been moved to RB from FB which gives us great depth at the RB position. With all these improvements the rest of the NFL needs to watch out because it is possible for the Broncos to go all the way, barring injuries, especially if any team under estimates us. Man I can't wait for the season to begin, it should be the best year since 98". "GO BRONCOS".

Reading that article and then following the link to Cutler's unbelievable 54 yard strike to Javon gave me goosebumps. I've been a Broncos fan since 1976 and this has been the longest offseason that I can remember. I'm prepared to just skip summer just so we can start watching some Broncos football. Can't wait to see those monsters up front on our 'D' line, Champ and Dre, all our new weapons on offense and, of course, #6. I'm also really excited to see what the coaching changes do for us. Damn, it's going fun.
