Many have wondered how long into the season it will be before we see Peyton Manning start getting banged up. As it turns out, not long. As Leo just pointed out, he is listed on the team’s injury report with a back injury. However, he was a full participant on Monday and Tuesday’s practice. This brings up a number of questions:

#Broncos waive CB Curtis Marsh to make room on roster for TJ Ward
— Troy Renck (@TroyRenck) September 15, 2015
You can all stop asking why Marsh made the final roster, because the thread title is your answer.
If you thought somebody else should have been kept instead of Marsh, that player was likely to be waived or cut anyway, once T.J. Ward returned from suspension.
It’s been evident for quite some time that the NFL does plenty of nonsensical things. The disciplinary policy is the one that’s getting the most face time currently, but it’s far from the only one. However, as the title implies, there’s something lurking that’s been bugging me enough to the point that I need to call the NFL out on it.
It regards daily fantasy football.

Hello, dear reader and Denver Broncos fan. Yesterday, the team had a beautiful victory over the Baltimore Ravens, To start the regular season. But despite this, everyone is talking about our QB, and how he was inefficient, and blah blah blah. I wrote this chronicle to Mile High Brasil, and I thought you’d like to read it as well, to calm everyone down.

It’s finally here! The season has started and so has the Kubiak era with a win. It wasn’t a strong game, but no one should expect one with a whole new scheme implemented on both offense and defense. The game went as well as we could expect with as many changes as we’ve had over the offseason. A bumpy start, to say the least, but a win is a win. And, in no particular order:

Pro Football Focus released their top-graded players for the Broncos-Ravens game. The top five for the Broncos:
OLB DeMarcus Ware (+10.9)
OLB Von Miller (+6.5)
ILB Brandon Marshall (+5.4)
OLB Shaquil Barrett (+3.6)
S Darian Stewart (+3.4)
The top-rated player for Baltimore was Jimmy Smith at +3.4, the same rating as Stewart.
The Broncos didn’t have as good of a day on offense, obviously. PFF’s Sam Monson has some thoughts about Peyton’s struggles.
With that said, all the worries about Brandon McManus missing two field goals (one into the wind) in the preseason were for naught, as evidenced yesterday, and as PFF acknowledges.
Perhaps Broncos fans should relax as well about the offense, too?
Scrolling through my twitter feed, basking in the post victory glow, I saw a number of noteworthy tweets worth sharing with you, Broncos Country. Instead of jamming them into a comment somewhere, I decided to make this into a quick weekly article. Some of these tweets aren’t terribly relevant (Shaq Barrett’s tweet for instance) but this will mostly be interesting quotes and insider thoughts on the previous day’s game. Also, I don’t agree with all the viewpoints shared in this article, and C.J. Anderson is not the next Montee Ball.

Well, Kubiak’s first game as a head coach is officially in the books. Personally, I’m just happy football’s back. Remembering years like 2013, it’s amazing that we could even win a game scoring only 19 points. Our defense can win games clearly, they did today.

So today’s Denver Broncos game against the Baltimore Ravens was decided by an Darian Stewart interception in the end zone, but if only pass interference had been called on David Bruton Jr. like it was a few plays earlier.
Or so one might think, anyway.
As a sportswriter, I am all too familiar with how we like to describe games. We spend our time thinking about what’s the story in every football game. But like many fans, we fall into the trap of thinking about the final plays of a close game, leading to us writing how a close game comes down to one final play, which gets dissected by everyone.
