THIS GAME IS ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING for 2011 my fellow Broncoholics. As they say in Vegas: all our chips are in, there is nothing left in our pockets from the 2011 season and the football cards are about to be dealt. The outcome of this game will either keep us in the division and playoff hunt or will put us in the extremely undesirable messed up position as fans, to have to watch the remaining of our football games with the bitter taste of irrelevancy in our Broncos mouths. When the final whistle blows it will either give us hope for the rest of the 2011 season or it will signal the beginning of the "official rebuilding process" and the 2012 Draft planning.

I know that some of us are eternal optimists and will say that there is no big difference between 2-3 and 1-4 but when the cool aid effect runs out and the emotions settle down, all of us will realize that a 1-4 record will put us 4 games behind the Chargers with no chance for the tie breaker. With two division losses at home and a VERY difficult remaining schedule, the only thing left for all of us will be a drafting position within the top 5-10 spots.

Well ladies and gentlemen, here is the part where I make my stand and I yell out loud: Enough of this! I am and have always been a die hard Broncos fan for life and I don't know about you, but when I start getting ready for the football season sending Mr. Bowlen the check for my season tickets and making my travel reservations to fly to Denver for our home games from Southern California, watching our Broncos lose or watching them play meaningless games is a completely unacceptable thought in my Bronco mind. I really do not want to have to put up with another season where next week's game does not matter. Absolutely No Way!

All of us residents of the BRONCOS COUNTRY have one great thing in common. We are extremely passionate about our Broncos. Just navigating the fan posts in MHR reveals and demonstrates tremendous attachment to our beloved football club. We all have huge size opinions that we defend with every little ounce of football knowledge or ignorance we have and we all believe we are right and justified in our positions and everyone else is dead wrong and absolutely blind. I have made very clear in the past that John Fox was not my ideal Head coach hire and Kyle Orton will be the starter at the water boy position if I was making the decisions but it is time first and foremost for me and then for all of us Bronco Maniacs collectively to stop this negative bitterness and realize what is at stake here.

This Sunday my friends is not about being right or wrong if you are a Bronco fan. This Sunday is all and only about our Broncos remaining season and regardless of our collective or individual opinions, if the Broncos lose this game, WE ALL LOSE THE YEAR 2011! This game is simply stated bigger than any individual. owner, manager, coach, player or fan! I personally will never rout for the Broncos to lose to prove myself right but because of the tremendous effect that a win or loss will have this Sunday, I do not care at all if I am dead wrong with all my previous comments and posts as long as my Broncos win and our season goes on and our hopes remain high and alive. As a matter of fact all my previous opinions are so worthless if we do not beat the Chargers on Sunday that I went back and erased all my previous fan posts to start fresh and clean from negativity. This is absolutely no time to hate but to support all our Broncos, even those we do not personally like, because they will be playing and coaching in our Broncos uniform for all of us to keep our hopes alive for 2011 and have something to cheer for on the following weeks.

For all these reasons my beloved Bronco Nuts, on Sunday, by the time most of you will be waking up, I will be aboard my flight from LAX to Denver International wearing my favorite #7 jersey. There will be no cute girlfriend with me this time because this game is all about Bronco hardcore pure football passion. I am taking another Broncos die hard fan with me and I am here to tell you I will make 1000% sure that section 110 will represent the Broncos in the best, absolutely craziest supporting way and will be louder than ever. Sports Authority Stadium at Mile High will rock from it's foundation up like it has never rocked before. If you are in the stadium for this game, I am begging you: Please remember what we are fighting for and reserve all negative comments, reactions and chants for after this game. I am going to go back to SoCal with no voice left in me whatsoever and if you want to wear your Bronco jerseys proud, you should do the same. If you stay home or go to a friend's house to watch the game, keep it simple, send the wife or the girlfriend shopping or to the park with the kids, tell the dog to be quiet, turn off the phones, put the "do not disturb sign" on the door, dress up in all your proud Bronco gear and get into this game like it is going to be the last important game you might watch for a while...........because if we lose, trust me, it will be the last!

THIS ONE IS FOR OUR DENVER BRONCOS!

BRONCO COUNTRY: LET'S KICK THE LIGHTNING BOLTS BEHIND ALL THE WAY BACK TO SAN DIEGO!

GO BRONCOS! GO!
