Broncos camp has small turnout

Looking forward to the days when training camp on the heals of a Superb Owl win is no big deal. 

"It could have been the Peyton Manning factor.

Or maybe the Denver Broncos are still suffering from a Super Bowl hangover and have yet to get excited about the upcoming season.

Or perhaps it’s this: Bronco fans are taking a wait-and-see attitude about this year’s team.

It can’t be the price.

Whatever the cause, the Broncos drew a surprisingly small crowd of 3,407 to the UCHealth Training Center for the team’s first day of training camp Thursday. There were 4,025 fans who showed up on Day 1 of camp last  year for a team coming off a disappointing, playoff-opening loss to Indianapolis."

Meanwhile, both Voth & Igo are talking about the stands at Gibbs stadium filling up remarkably quickly and predicting they'll run out of seats for everyone....

So what's that?  15K?

I was just about to ask that. What's a good turnout for day 1? Wikipedia says Gibbs Stadium holds 13k.

Not denying that Denver are the Super Bowl champs or trashing their team.  I'd just think that a SB win would INCREASE fan excitement, not decrease it.

Can you imagine opening day at training camp numbers decreasing if we'd won the Super Bowl?  It seems very odd.  Must be the lack of a star QB, I'm guessing.

They are the Superbowl champs. Camp turnout is irrelevant, it won't change the score

Neither does Bojangles, but you can bet your a$$ I'll be pulling through the drive-through for some steak egg and cheese here in about 30-45 minutes.

Last year, we had 35,000+ for the opening practice/party. I don't have figures for today yet. Still pouring in!

 

CORRECTION: it was 35k for opening weekend. About 17700 opening night. We definitely have exceeded that tonight.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Bama Panther · Posted

      It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”

      Why Panthers’ Dave Canales won’t run a QB sneak with Bryce Young

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      He is just fuging limited in every way.  On one hand, and nfl player, you would want to bulk them up so long as it doesn’t limit their mobility, elasticity, flexibility, ROM, or dynamicism - as is the concern with bulking up.  But the issue with that is, you would be worried about that when a guy has those traits to begin with.  Bryce is a very average athlete with a weak arm.  So if you’re not gonna be a great athlete with a strong arm, bulk up.  And if you can’t or won’t bulk up, find another fuging profession that doesn’t require athleticism and arm strength.  You’re built like a bitch AND aren’t a great athlete - you can’t be subpar in both categories…  well, unless you play for the Panthers apparently.
