NFL International Series 2010: Wembley Watch – 13 Days To Go
Oct 18th
Less than two weeks to go now, and momentum built last night and carried into week 7 will play a key part when the teams line up at Wembley on the 31st, their ears still ringing from My Chemical Romance…
Denver Broncos
The Broncos have had a tough couple of weeks having to face the Ravens and Jets, two AFC teams that will almost certainly make the post-season. But they’ve been respectable in both and should not be at all discouraged despite successive losses.

NFL International Series 2010: Wembley Watch – 8 Weeks To Go
Sep 5th
The season is so close now, I know we’re all getting excited here.
The final week of pre-season saw the second teams (and below) get their chance to shine.
Denver Broncos
Although it was hoped that Elvis Dumervil would play some part this season, it’s not to be the case as he’s been placed on Injured Reserve ahead of the final roster. LenDale White is also out for the season after an ankle injury incurred against the Vikings. Brandon Stokley joins them on IR.
Corell Buckhalter did see some playtime but Knowshon Moreno is still not back. It’s likely we’ll see some movement here before the 53 is set.
All teams suffer with injuries, but the Broncos – as we’ve said before – seem to have been affected more than most.
Tim Tebow and Brady Quinn got roughly similar playtime, but Tebow suffered early on – giving up turnovers and 10 points. But he rushed and apart from those two series, he played well. Quinn also did well, but doesn’t have the redzone options that Tebow brings so he’ll see less playing time. Kyle Orton continues as a dependable starting QB.

What’s been happening this week for the two NFL teams bound for the UK later this year?
Denver Broncos
Elvis Dumervil
If he is lost for that long, then he’s a massive loss to the Broncos who will miss his pass rush, and the situation is further compounded by the injury that’s so far kept lineman Darrell Reid out of training. Hopefully it’s not as bad as it seems.

The 49ers
John York (the team owner) with Mike Singletary, Alex Smith and Vernon Davis have been doing the publicity tour for the NFL UK game. Tickets were snapped up again and York had this tantalising statement:
“There is easily enough of a fan base over here to stage two games a season. I couldn’t tell you when that would be. I can see it both ways. I’m not sure what will be first, a Super Bowl over here or an NFL team, but they both seem likely to happen.”
Wembley Memories...
Great stuff! The prospect of a London based NFL team is not only possible, but would seem to be inevitable (eventually, and when the league sorts out the CBA). For now, this is the last game booked for Wembley and the UK, so I’d settle for another 4 years being agreed first. Walk, then run.
Smith and Davis are in the final years of their contracts. I want Alex Smith to do well – that’s no secret here, so I’m wishing the best for him. And more selfishly, if one QB is going to light up Wembley, I fancy Smith over Kyle Orton. Sorry Kyle.

Second Look… AFC West
Aug 15th
In our final part of the Second Look series, we take a peek in the AFC West and see what’s happening with the training camps well underway and pre-season getting going too.
In 2-3 weeks’ time, we’ll take a final look before setting our season predictions in stone (for future gloating and/or ridiculing).
