  • After Nix’s rough season opener, where is Broncos Country on the ‘Bo-liever Meter?’

    DENVER — After Bo Nix’s rough performance in the Broncos’ season-opening win over the Titans on Sunday, Denver7’s Ryan Fish asked Broncos Country to rate their “Bo-lief” in the quarterback on a scale of zero to 10.

    Nix tossed a beautiful touchdown to Courtland Sutton in Sunday’s win, but also threw two interceptions and lost a fumble. The heavily-favored Broncos leaned on their dominant defense to secure a win.

    Broncos fan Bryan Crouch rated himself an eight on the “Bo-liever Meter.”

    “They were lucky to be playing a really bad team,” he said. “It’s Week 1, though, you know, who knows? I’m sure they’ll get better… I’m a Bo-liever, absolutely.”

    Roland Moellenberg said he was a 10 before the season, and still a nine after Week 1.

    “I hope it was a fluke,” he told Denver7. “Yeah, he didn’t look his best, but maybe it took him three weeks [to improve] last season, maybe better this year… It’s his team. We’re riding with him right now.”

    “He’s seeing a lot of things out there,” said Broncos fan Devion Kittler, who said seven out of 10. “I felt like him and the receivers gotta get on the same page.”

    Jonathan Sanchez also said seven, down from nine before the game.

    “Pretty bad game to be honest,” he told Denver7. “It’s going to be, I think, harder for him to have the success that he had last year, because defense now knows him better, have studied him. So yeah, I think he has to improve.”

    Despite some calls to the Denver7 Broncos Hotline calling for Nix to be benched, there seems to be a lot of optimism, even after the offense struggled to get on track.

    Alberto Barrios was especially excited about the team and the quarterback, coming all the way from Colombia to see the season opener.

    “I’ve been a fan for like, 30 years, and this is my first time in Denver,” he said. “I’m a Bo-liever, yeah. 10 out of 10… It’s just the start of the season. I think he will be great.”

  • Broncos fans gear up for season opener as local businesses prepare for gameday crowds

    Excitement is building across Denver ahead of the Broncos’ season opener at Empower Field on Sunday.

    “Can’t wait, can’t wait,” said fan Mike Davlin. “This can be a good season for us.”

    Davlin and fellow fan Randy Davis said their seats are already secured for game day.

    “Yeah, we got our names on our chairs,” laughed Davlin.

    Broncos fans Mike Davlin & Randy Davis talking with Jonathan Engleberg, General Manager at Choppers Sports Grill.

    They won’t be the only Denver diehards packing Choppers Sports Grill in Cherry Creek this weekend. General manager Jonathan Engleberg said the sports bar started stocking up three weeks ago to prepare for the influx of fans.

    “The best way to describe it: organized chaos, really,” Engleberg said when asked about what the next 48 hours will look like.

    Having the Broncos back in action means big business for the spot that’s become a gameday staple.

    “We’re ready for a standing room only crowd, you know, full hands on deck to take care of everybody that comes in,” Engleberg said.

    It’s not just good food fans want as they watch the hometown team; they want the gameday gear, too.

    “They’re always looking for something a little bit special,” said Derek Friedman, who owns four SportsFan locations across the metro. “So we’ve got the traditional jerseys, but then we always have something a little unique.”

    Friedman has spent the last few days making sure the shelves are stocked.

    “It’s really a mad scramble right at the end because although you try to time all your inventory for July and August, inevitably, it gets delayed, and so we were receiving stuff up until today and just trying to get it on the sales floor,” Friedman said.

    The Broncos will open up the season at home against the Tennessee Titans. Fans told Denver7 they’re feeling optimistic for this season.

    “We’re going to get the division this year,” Davis said. “We’re going to take it from [Kansas City].”

    They’re hopeful Sunday is the start of what could be a Super Bowl season.

    “All I can say is, Go Broncos!” Davlin said.

    Kickoff is set for 2:05 p.m. Sunday.
