[Tredici]

Okay. Waiting for Super Bowl. Flex your NFL think muscles.

How'd I do Alex Trebeck?

[Hercules Rockefeller]

No 1st overall- Oakland/LA Raiders, Seattle, Carolina, Jacksonville, and the Ravens?

[Tredici]

How'd I do Alex Trebeck?

3 for 3

(I knew the answers wouldn't take long when I saw you on the thread...)
:notworthy

[Tredici]

No 1st overall- Oakland/LA Raiders, Seattle, Carolina, Jacksonville, and the Ravens?


Close. But Oakland/LA isn't right.

[B-Love]

Who was the first Bronco player to average more than 5 yards per rush in season? (Minimum 100 Carries)

How many times did Terrell Davis gain 100 or more yards in a single quarter from 1995-2002?

Who is the sixth leading rusher in Bronco Club History?

These are all dicey toughies!!! No internet cheating eh??

Is Jon Keyworth the 6th leading? I'm not gonna look it up like requested.

The 5 YPC thing I know Floyd did it in 1969, but I am not sure of anyone did before that?? Floyd was gonna have an off the charts year but he got ver banged up and missed several games.

[B-Love]

What former John Madden era Raider scumbag made a brief appearance with orange Crush?

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Then are we saying the Broncos since both of their 1st overalls were in the AFL draft and not the NFL draft?

[Tredici]

These are all dicey toughies!!! No internet cheating eh??

Not Keyworth

and not Floyd. -- That surprises me. I think you actually mentioned the guy in some thread not too long ago.

[Tredici]

Then are we saying the Broncos since both of their 1st overalls were in the AFL draft and not the NFL draft?

Actually the Broncos are saying it:

The Broncos have never had the first overall choice (through 2005) in the NFL draft, nor did they ever select number one in the AFL. What are the other four NFL teams (who you named --Baltimore, Carolina, Seattle and Jacksonville) never to have chosen at the top of the draft board?

-- Is our team lying to me on their trivia??!!

[Hercules Rockefeller]

I guess they're technically correct

[B-Love]

In the 80's, what player led the Broncos in both in rushing and receiving in the same season?

[Tredici]

I guess they're technically correct

What's the technicality? Who do you think they took first? (I really don't know and am trying to stay off the net... all though B-Love's Raider scum question has me so tempted...)

[BroncoBuff]

In the 80's, what player led the Broncos in both in rushing and receiving in the same season?

Winder.

And Elway is #6

[B-Love]

Not Keyworth

and not Floyd. -- That surprises me. I think you actually mentioned the guy in some thread not too long ago.

Did Marlin really tote the rock more than 100 times in a season??

He could be the only other answer before Floys averaged 5.0 in 1969. Marlin must've done it in '68.

[BroncoBuff]

What former John Madden era Raider scumbag made a brief appearance with orange Crush?

I dunno ....

But which Reeves-era Broncos scumbag made a brief appearance with the Faders?

[Tredici]

In the 80's, what player led the Broncos in both in rushing and receiving in the same season?

Sammy?

[B-Love]

Winder.

And Elway is #6

Not Sammy. Elway, ah yeah, I remember him.

These QB running questions are bringin me down....

[B-Love]

I dunno ....

But which Reeves-era Broncos scumbag made a brief appearance with the Faders?

Incarceration Harden

[Tredici]

Did Marlin really tote the rock more than 100 times in a season??

He could be the only other answer before Floys averaged 5.0 in 1969. Marlin must've done it in '68.

The Bronco trivia doesn't have Floyd as one of the guys who averaged more than 5 yards per rush?? And it isn't Marlon.

[Hercules Rockefeller]

What's the technicality? Who do you think they took first? (I really don't know and am trying to stay off the net... all though B-Love's Raider scum question has me so tempted...)

Technically because they haven't picked 1st overall in the NFL draft, they are right on that, but they have picked 1st overall twice in the AFL draft. It's just kind of a misleading statement for them to say they've never had the top pick overall, when they have, it's just in the draft that no longer exists.

[B-Love]

Well then the trivia thingie you got is wrong.

Floyd averaged 5.0 yards per carry in 1969, I do know that. On about 170 carries.

I will look just this one up. Just this one, ...............promise.

http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/den1969.htm

OK, only 146 carries.

[BroncoBuff]

Gene Mingo?

And NOT Sammy Winder? I should know that, but ....

[B-Love]

"more than" 5.0 yards per rush.

Maybe that's the screwup. "more than"

[freak6]

What Bronco offensive lineman played in 166 consecutive games from 1981-1992?

Good questions Tre

[freak6]

In the 80's, what player led the Broncos in both in rushing and receiving in the same season?

Sewell

Nope...

hmmm

[BroncoBuff]

I can't believe that, in an 80s season, that one Bronco led the team in rushing and receiving, and it's not Winder .... and I don't know who .... I should know that...


other q:

Gene Mingo?

Cookie Gilchrist?

[Tredici]

In the 80's, what player led the Broncos in both in rushing and receiving in the same season?

Otis?

[BroncoBuff]

Incarceration Harden
:thumbsup:



C'mon Tred ... #6 is Elway, right?

I gotta get one right!

[Tredici]

Technically because they haven't picked 1st overall in the NFL draft, they are right on that, but they have picked 1st overall twice in the AFL draft. It's just kind of a misleading statement for them to say they've never had the top pick overall, when they have, it's just in the draft that no longer exists.

-- Is our team lying to me on their trivia??!!

The statement above is from the Bronco trivia thingie I'm using. What's the catch on the AFL? Who did they select number one overall? Wait a minute, is the catch that their selection didn't ever play for them?

[Nuggets4]

Didn't we pick Merlin Olson first overall?

[BroncoBuff]

Rob Preston? Jim Jensen?


Didn't we pick Merlin Olson first overall?

We drafted Alex Karras I think .... was it a #1?

[bronco militia]

Didn't we pick Merlin Olson first overall?


yes and Dick Butkus...

but the AFL Broncos couldn't match an NFL's salary

[B-Love]

Rob Preston? Jim Jensen?




We drafted Alex Karras I think .... was it a #1?

Jim Jensen in 1980 is correct. Led the team in Rushing and Pass Receptions.

Combined with Matt Robinson, and you can now see why Red Miller was fired after the 1980 season.

C'mon peeps who was the Madden era Raider dirtball who wore Orange Crush unis. Hint - he actually wore Orange Pants on the road, to kinda give you the years I'm talking about.

[BroncoBuff]

1. TD
2. Floyd
3. Otis
4. Sammy
5. MA
6. Elway

7. Portis
8. Lytle
9. Keyworth
10. Anderson (Bobby)


How'd I do?


Jim Jenson? That seems odd .... I'll take it, but I wasn't even 100% serious.

Warren Wells?
Geroge Atkinson?

[freak6]

Who forced the Antonio Freeman kickoff fumble in SB 32?

And who recovered it?

[BroncoBuff]

George Coghill ... Derrick Loville

[B-Love]

McKyer recovered it.

I thought Dodge forced it?

[B-Love]

1. Geroge Atkinson?
Ding ding.

We have a guys who knows his Raider scumbags well.

Add George "Butch" Atkinson to Willhite and John Lynch, and the rest of the Broncos who have worn # 47. Atkinson joined us for 6 games or so in 1979. He even dressed for our Wild Card loss at Houston.

[BroncoBuff]

McKyer recovered it.

I thought Dodge forced it?

(I was just guessing .... and guessing on Atkinson and Jenson, too. But I AM HONEST! ::) )

[B-Love]

You know your stuff Buff.

[B-Love]

Actually Veland forced it and McKyer recovered it.

[Tredici]

Actually the Broncos are saying it:

The Broncos have never had the first overall choice (through 2005) in the NFL draft, nor did they ever select number one in the AFL. What are the other four NFL teams (who you named --Baltimore, Carolina, Seattle and Jacksonville) never to have chosen at the top of the draft board?

I think some of the names being thrown around - Merlin Olson, Dick Butkus were high draft picks. Apparently they weren't the first overall pick?

[freak6]

Tim McKyer recovered, Tony Veland with the hit.

[Tredici]

I have one more that B-Love will know for sure, and my memory tells me that I know....but Gradishar once had a 80 plus yard interception return...what team did he do it against?

[Moon§hiner]

Gerald Willhite?Yep...he was mister 2 yards and dive for another

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

Ok - Here's a couple from the peanut gallery:

1.What High School did former Bronco RB Chris Brewer attend?

[B-Love]

Randy's Int return was actually 93 yards against Cleveland.

With an assist to Tom Jackson's stomach.

Michael Dean Perry is the most unfairly maligned Bronco in team history and nobody else is even close.

Second would probably be Sammy Winder, whose great sin was being an overachiever with drastically limited physical skills.

[-Slap-]

Die with festering boils, Red.

[Natedogg]

MDP is deservidly. I never heard a critical word against winder. I have nothing but respect for him. The Buffalo game was not his fault.

I would say that Quentin Griffin belongs in this category, too. How such a hard worker and good guy inspired so much venom is a mystery to me.

Trick Question - None of them attended college

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

Here's one for B-Love:

Who wore Gradashar's #53 in Randy's rookie year?

[Tredici]

Shannon Sharpe.

Shannon isn't the answer to either question...

[freak6]

Shannon isn't the answer to either question...

Rod Smith

Jason Elam would be on this list too though. hmmm...

[-Slap-]

Shannon isn't the answer to either question...

This is a tough one. I'll probably want to kick myself when you tell me the answer.

I would guess Jason Elam or Tom Jackson.

[B-Love]

Here's one for B-Love:

Who wore Gradashar's #53 in Randy's rookie year?

Ken Criter

[Tredici]

This is a tough one. I'll probably want to kick myself when you tell me the answer.

I would guess Jason Elam or Tom Jackson.

Elam? Wasn't Rick Karlis missing kicks in the Super Bowl against the Giants?

Not Tiny Tommy, either.


(And you WILL want to kick yourself...)

Ha!

[B-Love]

Tom Nalen on the playoff starts thing? I think Nalen has started 13 from 96 thru today.

Atwater also started 13 I believe (89-98).

[freak6]

Elam? Wasn't Rick Karlis missing kicks in the Super Bowl against the Giants?

Not Tiny Tommy, either.


(And you WILL want to kick yourself...)

Ha!

How about Kubes for non starts? I am lost on this one.

[B-Love]

Who was on the receiving end of the first Interception that John Elway threw at Mile High Stadium?

Regular Season by the way.

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

Ken Criter

I knew you'd get that one.


What was Steve Watson's Track event in college?

[B-Love]

High Jump

[freak6]

What defensive matchup change was instrumental in defeating the Steelers for the AFC Championship in what was a rematch from an earlier loss that season?

omg, i just gave in and looked up that playoff one. That hurts.

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

High Jump

Close - Long Jump

How many times did Steve Tensi pass for over 300 yards as a Bronco?

[-Slap-]

Who was on the receiving end of the first Interception that John Elway threw at Mile High Stadium?

Regular Season by the way.

Gil Byrd is always a safe answer for an Elway interception question.......Ha!

[-Slap-]

Crockett on Thigpen?

What was the name of the pass Shannon Sharpe caught on third down to clinch that game?

[-Slap-]

Elam? Wasn't Rick Karlis missing kicks in the Super Bowl against the Giants?

Not Tiny Tommy, either.


(And you WILL want to kick yourself...)

Ha!

Elam got here before Nails or RodisGod, so it can't be a current player.

I still can't believe Shannon was the wrong answer.

[freak6]

Crockett on Thigpen?

What was the name of the pass Shannon Sharpe caught on third down to clinch that game?

Absolutely right Slap.

The play was a bs one called by Elway in the huddle. Something eagle or falcon. All Eagle?

At least that is a story from Sharpe I think, he said he didn't know the play, Elway told him to just get open and he gunned it to him.

Chemistry is vital!

[Pendejo]

What player is second only to John Elway in postseason starts in his Bronco career?

What player is second only to John Elway in postseason games played in his Bronco career?

Tom Rouen

(Mike Lodish played in a ton of playoff games, but most were with Buffalo.)

How about "The Vance"?

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

Close - Long Jump

How many times did Steve Tensi pass for over 300 yards as a Bronco?

Time is up. The answer is One.

What was Bronco's center George Goedecke's nickname?

[Nuggets4]

This thread is awesome.

[BroncoBuff]

Michael Dean Perry is the most unfairly maligned Bronco in team history and nobody else is even close.
Oh yeah? All he has to do is slightly hustle off the field, and the Broncos wouldda THREE-PEATED. How many other Broncos in team history qualify for that?

[BroncoBuff]

What Bronco Rookie led the league in both Punt Returns and Kickoff Returns in the AFL's final 1969 season?

Billy Thompson .... my first year as a fan.

I would say that Quentin Griffin belongs in this category, too. How such a hard worker and good guy inspired so much venom is a mystery to me.

Really? I had no idea. Wtf did people say about Griffin?! He was so dedicated to the run blocking, that all he did was headfirst-bulldoze so many linebackers for TD that he finally broke his neck? He literally sold out his body for the running game.

Who are these haters? Aaron Craver fans?

[Clockwork Orange]

Oh yeah? All he has to do is slightly hustle off the field, and the Broncos wouldda THREE-PEATED. How many other Broncos in team history qualify for that?

You're asking for it now. Slappy is still a bit salty over the events of that day as they pertain to a certain referee.

Die Red Cashion.

Yeah, when is that ****head Red Cashion going to 'fess up? Hillbilly bastard.

If Red Cashion ever steps into a crosswalk in front of my car, he'll be redneck street pizza.

I wish someone would hipcheck Red Cashion down a metal stairway.

I dare you to try and find better Cashion bashin' anywhere. :)

[Clockwork Orange]

Really? I had no idea. Wtk did people say about Griffin?! He's just a guy who headfirst-bulldozed so many linebackers for TD that he finally broke his neck? He literally sold out his body for the running game.

He was ripped on mercilessly by several posters here back then. The ultimate insult was when people were openly rooting for, of all people, Maurice Clarett to make the team over him.

That ****er, was a crappy referee and only popular because of his showboating, like anyone goes to a game to watch the refs anyway.

He found a bag of money in his backyard the day before that game. Pure and simple. I'll sit down and watch that game with anybody and point out half a dozen different points where the referee deliberately went out of his way to affect the game's momentum. Then I'll probably try and kill you for making me sit through it again.

Wow .... I am impressed. That's some healthy - not-to-mention well-deserved - hatred.

Don't tell me ... it was Red Cashion who called the VERY SAME PENALTY against Stephen Alexander to rob the rookie D-Will of a punt-ret TD vs. the Bolts?

[-Slap-]

Oh yeah? All he has to do is slightly hustle off the field, and the Broncos wouldda THREE-PEATED. How many other Broncos in team history qualify for that?

A few posts down, you mention you've been watching NFL football since 1969.

In those 38 years, how many times have you seen a player flagged for 12 men on the field while they're literally one step from the sideline?

I've been watching the NFL since 1972 and I've only seen it one time. Coincidentally, one day after Red Cashion found a big bag of money in his backyard.

[BroncoBuff]

Just once or twice - SA on the D-Will return, and I think an old Minnesota-Dallas playoff game in the 70s ... but that time, the Viking was about 5 yards from the sideline, running in full view of TV. In fact, I've seen that penalty NOT CALLED dozens of times (ahem ... Raiders? The entire Raiders sideline would smudge the sideline chalk and walk on it en masse...)

I gotta say, though, seeing past the heartbreak value, a couple of those Brunell TD passes -the Jimmy Smith one esp. - were amazing





QUESTION:

What (white) Denver Bronco led the league in KO returns once in the 70s, and took at least a couple to the house?

[loborugger]

Oh yeah? All he has to do is slightly hustle off the field, and the Broncos wouldda THREE-PEATED. How many other Broncos in team history qualify for that?


Three-peated?

One play.. ONE PLAY interrupts a three-peat.

You have to be joking. You are a smart guy, so I am gonna guess you are joking.

We choked that game away. Choked. It started with missed PATs, and went from there. The game should HAVE NEVER been close enough for one play to decide.

Besides, I am not sold on the notion that we coulda beaten GB that year. They were hungry that year - they finally exercised their demons in Dallas (I think it was the first year GB got to play Dallas in Wisconsin during that era).

Good grief, Charlie Brown.

Well, the utter stupidity was that we kept blitzing Romanowski, even though Brunell was able to fake him out of his jock time after time. That was just bad coaching and a stubborn refusal to adjust when something wasn't working.

Besides the BS call on MDP, there was all kinds of ridiculous crap in that game. The most glaring, obviously, was the Tory James interception, which should have made the score 19-3 at the half, instead it became a pass interference and made the game 12-10.

Arguably as damaging, was the Terrell Davis one yard touchdown run, which was obvious to a blind man, called down on the one. TD scores on the next play, but twists his knee and is largely ineffective the rest of the game. The only playoff game of his career in which he does not rush for more than 100 yards.

Who did Elway throw his first TD pass to? (i dont even know this one, im just curious)

[Sassy]

Who did Elway throw his last pass to? (I can't remember this one! Ha!)
SB 33...

[B-Love]

Gus Frerotte was tossing for the Skins that day in '95.

Elway's first TD pass went to Rick Parros, a smallish Fullback often mistakenly credited to Dan Reeves.

Some people here will say "that devil Reeves drafted another small Fullback, and it all started with Rick Parros back in 1981".

Red Miller drafted Rick Parros, who tore his knee up in camp '80, and then became a starter in 1981.

[BroncoBuff]

What team were the Broncos playing when Eddie Mac broke his leg?
Did the Broncos win that game?

9/10/01 .... first game @ Invesco

[B-Love]

Anyway Elways's first TD pass was in the same game Elway threw his first home Interception at Mile High.

The Eagles beat the Broncos 13-10, the Broncos only TD being the aforementioned pass from Elway to Parros.

No one attempted to answer the first Mile High Interception question, ............................

The Shannon Sharpe #81 thing is funny, because when he was a rookie, Ricky Nattiel was wearing #84, so Shannon settled for #81 in his first two seasons. Once Nattiel was gone after the 91 season, Shannon quickly grabbed #84 as his own.

After Nattiel went to Tampa in 1992, he was cut, and then resigned by the Broncos prior to a 1992 week 4 game at Cleveland.

I was at that 1992 game with my fiancee, now my wife, actually we got engaged in Cleveland 2 days before (long story).

And during warmups, I saw a guy wearing 81 and I could not figure out who it was. Holy **** Ricky Nattiel is back and now he is wearing 81, while Shannon stole his 84. Classic!!!!

I'm not exactly sure what the list of players is about. Certainly not all were Broncos greats. Reuben Droughns shouldn't be on there...neither should guys like Ekuban or Nick Ferguson, or Karlis.

If John Lynch is included on a Broncos best list then a guy like Neil Smith definitely should be there as well.

There were a lot of guys left off...Sammy Winder and Keith Bishop deserve some recognition.

All in all it was a weird grouping of players.

I know about 55 and 51. DJ Williams appropriated 55.

Keith Burns original number was 56. he left in free agency after the 1998 season, when he came back Al Wilson had taken 56, so Burns took 55. He then left again after the 2003 season. When he came back from Tampa Chukwurah had 55, so Burns took 51. Ian Gold also came back at the same time, he took 52 from DJ Williams, and then DJ took 55 from Chukwurah.

[B-Love]

Jason Elam's 63 yard FG is the longest in Bronco Club History. The second longest is 57 yards kicked against the Washington Redskins. Who did it?

Freddie Steinfort!!! A Freddie Steinfort mention!! It was a MNF game that featured Art Monk's first ever TD reception, and a great late 70 yard TD drive capped off by a Morton TD bomb to Upchurch.

Steinfort was Pro Football Weekly's "Golden Toe" award winner for 1980.

He was great in 1980 and embarrassing in 1981. Rich Karlis got the job in camp '82, after Freddie mangled more kicks.

I have that whole preseason on tape including all of the Dan Reeves Shows. A very interesting summer. Deberg vs Morton, Steinfort vs Karlis, new starter Dennis Smith, Bob Swenson's holdout, etc. Aaron Kyle was also getting more face time than ever, as he was voted Union Player Rep for the Broncos. It was felt he handled his camera time poorly, and he wore out some fans.

It was kind of a goofy question, but:

In 1974 or 75, with just 20 seconds left in the season opener vs. Houston (must've been a home game, cause I listened on radio), Billy Van Heusen took the snap for a punt and held the ball - just trying to run out the clock. But the Oilers showed little interest in rushing him, so he started running, and ended up going about 70 yards for the TD as time expired.

That week he was the 3rd leading rusher in the AFC.

[BroncoBuff]

Who replaced Lou Saban when he resigned in 1971?

Ralston.

Anybody remember the circumstances behind his ouster?

[Tredici]

Ralston.

Anybody remember the circumstances behind his ouster?

Team revolt. They wanted a coach not a cheerleader...

I think a certain fleet footed #7 didn't evade lazy Ted....

:wiggle:

[BroncoBuff]

Nope ... it was the offensive line coach - Jerry Smith? Jerry something.

Ralston was the next year.



Nope, it was Rubin Carter who wanted to throttle Ted.
Dan Fouts retired before we drafted Gregory. Guess again.
Oh ... Rubin was an assistant, okay.

#7? Sean Salisbury?

Who holds the Broncos franchise record for most rushing yards in a season opener?

For extra Broncos credit who did he set it against and in what year?

Times up.

Mighty Mouse Quentin Griffin against the chefs (ofcourse) in 2004 when he rumbled for 156 yards and 3 TDs.

That was the game where he put a sweet open field move and juked him out of his cleats.

BB is correct - Jerry Smith finished the year.

Who did the Broncos beat in their first home game at Bears Stadium in 1960?

[BroncoBuff]

Boston Patriots

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

nope - try again

[BroncoBuff]

Nope - try again.
That wouldn't be fair to everybody else .... there's just 6 or 7 other original AFL teams left. I'll let somebody else try.

















(Dallas Texans?)

Is that the game Alex Karras was going to walk back to Detroit if they lost to Denver?

Is that the game Alex Karras was going to walk back to Detroit if they lost to Denver?

No. Karras's yapping was before the first NFL/AFL fame. This was the first old AFL game in Denver.

[B-Love]

Denver beat Oakland at home in 1960.

Karras said he'd walk home after the 1967 preseason game at Denver University's field.

Bingo B-Love the master historian :)

Tough One:

Who introduced handholding in the Broncos defensive huddle in the 1970s?

Ray May

Right again!


As a head coach of the Broncos, who was John Ralston's first draft pick?

[Tredici]

Despite being known for prolific offenses the Broncos have only scored 50 points in a game once in their history. What was the score and what team did they defeat?

[Tredici]

The Broncos have had 5 safeties earn an AFC-NFC Pro Bowl berth. Name them.

[Tredici]

Rod Smith's career touchdown receptions are the most in history in the NFL for an undrafted player. What Kansas City Chief is second with 49?

Rod Smith has caught more passes in his career than any other undrafted player. What New York Jet is second on the list with 712?

[Clockwork Orange]

The Broncos have had 5 safeties earn an AFC-NFC Pro Bowl berth. Name them.

Dammit, I can think of four of them off the top of my head, but I can't seem to remember the fifth.

Steve Atwater, John Lynch, Dennis Smith & Tyrone Braxton are the ones I remember.

Where did the phrase "Big Play Shay" (used for Shannon Sharpe) originate from?

#56 .... he was before Orange Crush, though. We got him from Baltimore, right?
