Broncos Bury Bills in Preseason Game 2

The Broncos defeated the Bills 24-10 on Saturday Night at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Week 2 of the preseason (I'm just going with Mile High for this season.) Denver evened their preseason record to 1-1. Here are my quick observations and thoughts on the game:

-Kyle Orton and the first team offense looked really good. Orton was 1o-13 for 135 yards and 1 touchdown. He looked sharp and in command of the offense. Orton gives the Broncos the best chance to win right now, and it is no surprise that John Fox officially named Orton the starter for the season opener at home versus the Raiders. Orton is having a great training camp and preseason, and he backed it up against the Bills on Saturday. We have seen this from Kyle before (See 2010 Preseason), so let's hold off on the Kyle Orton=Pro Bowl QB proclamations for now.

-The defense played pretty well. They did give up a first drive field goal, but after that they really played solid. Elvis Dumervil was a factor, and Von Miller got a sack early in the game. The Miller/Elvis tandem could really be deadly this season, and it is going to be fun to watch them tee off on third down this season.

-I know Rahim Moore got flagged for a brutal hit on Saturday Night, but this kid seems like the real deal. When you get the top rated safety in the draft in Round 2, then your team is getting some good value. I like Moore a lot, and he might make a real impact for us this year.

-Broderick Bunkley stood out to me in this game. He played better this week, and he was a factor inside. Our interior defensive line is still shaky, but hopefully he can help fortify that group.

-Brady Quinn once again looked impressive, but I still can't get too excited when he is playing against backups. Remember, it still is only PRESEASON! It is clear that Quinn has outplayed Tim Tebow, and I think it is basically a formality that Quinn will be the backup to Orton to start the year.

-Speaking of Tebow, it has been quite a strange month for the guy. He goes from looking like the savior in Denver as the starter, to being criticized on ESPN and NFL Network, to being the backup, and now he stands as the number three guy on the depth chart. Tebow played the last two series of the game, and he only attempted two passes. I really feel bad for him, and I just hope that somehow he gets his chance in Denver. I'm not so sure if that is going to happen, but let's hope he sits and develops this year, and at some point makes the most of his opportunities in a Broncos uniform.
