About the Denver Broncos

Welcome fellow Broncos fan!

As you know, finding great Broncos Tickets is probably the hardest part of being a Bills supporter, but here you will find information on how to obtain 'hard to get' and 'sold out' tickets.

2009-10 Denver Broncos

Season ticket holders are in for a few changes at INVESCO Field at Mile High, the first being new Head Coach and former Patriots Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels as well as the addition of former Eagles superstar Brian Dawkins who left a free agent.  With an off season QB controversy squashed, the Broncos traded QB Jay Cutler with a 5th round draft pick to the Chicago Bears for a 1st and 3rd round pick in the 2010 draft and QB Kyle Orton.

Look for your revamped Broncos to sell a lot of tickets through the season as they attempt to break the cycle and plunge back into the playoffs.

Previous Seasons

In the Mile High Altitudes of Colorado, the Denver Broncos have been a very successful franchise with a decently rich history. The thing about the Broncos history, is that it centers mostly around one man, John Elway. No quarterback in the history of the league has as many 4 th quarter comebacks as Elway, 47. His most famous came in the the 1987 AFC Championship game against the Cleveland Browns. Elway led his team on a 15-play, 98 yard drive that tied the game up to send it to OT where the Broncos would win 23-20. Later, that 15-play series would be known simply as “the drive.

It was the 1983 NFL Draft that Elway came out of Stanford and the football world had come to the consensus decision that Elway was worthy of the number one pick, but it wasn’t the Broncos that owned the pick, it was the Baltimore Colts. Before the draft, Elway came out and said that if the Colts drafted him, he would pursue his career in baseball. In spite of that warning the Colts picked him anyways and Elway stood firm to his word when he wouldn’t sign with the team. The Colts then traded the rights to him to the Broncos and got back rookie offensive tackle Chris Hinton, a first-rounder in 1984 and quarterback Mark Herrmann. Since Elway has led the Broncos to five Super Bowls and won them two while he was there and the Colts haven't won a Super Bowl since 1970, it’s safe to say the Broncos got the sweeter end of that deal.

In the off-season, the Broncos went and picked up some new faces and also brought in an old one to help their defense out. The most interesting thing that the front office did was get three of the four Cleveland Browns defensive lineman that started for them last season. They picked up Gerald Warren, and Ebenezer Ekuban in trades, while getting Courtney Brown through free agency. The three all have the talent, since they were all first round draft picks, and the Broncos are hoping that they can gel while in the thinner atmosphere. Denver also went out and got linebacker Ian Gold who, after a season away from the Broncos, is one of the most gifted linebackers in the NFL.

Denver was lacking a first round pick this season, but they used their other picks to their full potential none the less. The Broncos used their first three picks to grab cornerbacks. The first one taken was Darrent Williams out of Oklahoma State. Williams is a little undersized for the corner position, but makes up for it with his exceptional speed and his knack for making a big play. He is also an incredibly explosive kick returner when given the chance. The second corner they took was Washington State’s Karl Paymah. He is a good physical corner who can jam a receiver at the line and is very adept to throwing a receiver off of his route. Paymah could be a very good cover 2 corner someday.

Those purchasing tickets to the 2008/09 season saw the Broncos take a step backwards as the team which finished at 8-8 a season prior, struggled to finish 7-9.  The team started the season by releasing LB Ian Gold and WR Javon Walker and WR Rod Smith retired.  RB Travis Henry was cut by the team on June 2, 2008.  The team finished the year tied with San Diego and the final game of the season was between the Chargers and the Broncos for the AFC West.  The Chargers rolled the Broncos 52-21 to move on to the playoffs. 

Two days following the season, the franchise fired longtime Head Coach Mike Shanahan who had been with the team since the 1995 season.
