Orton is probably out for the opener. Simms too. Some guy named Brandstater is in?

1. Ouch. I think the whole blasted off season has been disasterous
for the Broncos. Looks like its gonna be a three way race for the cellar in the AFC West with Denver, Oakland and KC...

2. I've heard coaches say two preseason games would be enough
to get their teams ready. The owners make more money with four (that is, until they expand to an 18-game season).

3. 2 preseason games is probably enough to get your starters ready...
but I've heard a couple of "football people" (GM's, coaches & retired players) say that it's not enough to evaluate those end-of-the-roster guys.
