Broncos enter crossroads stretch of season as underdogs
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Four weeks is not a long time. But there's no denying the Broncos sit at a crossroads in their 2018 journey to redemption. They own a 2-1 record. They are undefeated at home. And yet, it feels precarious, an uneasy feeling for a head coach who barely kept his job last season and a defensive coordinator whose game plans have been openly questioned. The Broncos face Kansas City, the AFC's Super Bowl favorite du jour.
Broncos Denver7 keys to victory over Seahawks
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Multiple times last season, I arrived in the tunnel to the playing field as time expired standing next to general manager John Elway. He stared intently, if not helplessly. I have never covered an athlete more competitive than Elway, the quarterback. Elway, the executive, grapples with the inability to control the outcome after kickoff. After the Broncos' 5-11 mess, Elway went to work.

Woody Paige: Taking a look at the ideal 2018 schedule for the Denver Broncos
DENVER -- With all the hullabaloo over the draft, free agency and radical rule changes as April begins, the official release of the 2018 NFL schedule on the 19th has been ignored.It’s already known who the Broncos will play and where, and that the Broncos will play the league’s supposed fifth-easiest schedule (tied with the Steelers and the Jaguars), based on opponents’ records last season (122-134, .477 winning percentage).Before 2017 the Broncos were designated as the team with the most...

Woody Paige: Vance Joseph fortunate he'll return to Broncos for a second season
DENVER -- Of the six NFL head coaches hired before the 2017 season, only one took over a winning team.And only one produced a team that was worse than the year before.Vance Joseph was the only one.Yet, Joseph has survived, barely.After much vacillation (and head-scratching and soul-searching), John Elway, the master of all he sees of the Broncos at Dove Valley, finally decided to bring back Joseph for a second season.Instead, six assistants were fired, joining Mike McCoy, who already was...
Woody Paige: Joseph's willingness to change will likely save him
Vance Joseph will be the Broncos' coach again next season.Winning consecutive games, and the players not giving up in the final month of the season were critically important to Joseph’s future in Denver.But Joseph finally seems to have grasped and recognized what it takes to be a game-day head coach in the NFL.For much of the season, Joseph was about as inert and indifferent on the sideline as a — this cliché is fitting — a bump on a log.He has gotten involved.He is showing emotion and acting...
Woody Paige: Let Vance Joseph, other coaches sit through Broncos' end-of-season misery
Don’t fire Vance Joseph now.I’m pleading with you, John Elway.Weeks ago I wrote on thedenverchannel.com that Joseph’s initials needed to be reversed to JV because he was qualified only to be the head coach of a Junior Varsity team.I unequivocally declared that the nice man, the “leader of men,” the man in over his head, should be fired by the Broncos immediately.Since then, everyone else in the press and the public has picked up on the theme of “Joe Must Go.”But we all are wrong.Joseph has to...

Say goodbye to about two dozen Broncos in just over a month.Say hello to about $55 million in salary cap space.So much for the Broncos’ “retooling,” as Vance Joseph called the team’s situation when he took the job as head coach.John Elway must go into that dreaded unmentionable category – “rebuild” mode.In the very best-case consequence, the Broncos will win three-to-four games in the final games.
