A phenomenal catch by WR Brandon Marshall during a 27-24 loss to the Packers served only to remind Broncos fans that they won’t have him for at least two games to start the season.
However, the Broncos privately are hoping that Marshall’s suspension will be reduced on appeal.

That offensive production
translates to
a lotta punts
and long field goal attempts.

I hope they know Brandons suspension to just one game. If he were a bigger name (like TO, but I’m just saying, how many chances they give him before he got an official NFL suspension) he wouldn’t be facing this suspension. He is young, got full of himself and now knows the ways of this and the gravity. He has a lot of mentors and role models even some not on the Broncos roster to help him.
I think he is going to have a real breakout year. He will be much revered around the NFL.

Lucky to win 5 games? Thanks for your prediction Nastrodamus, I really think we could care less what you think. Gotta love the people like you who are the reason they make those NFL commercials about people’s terrible predictions about the previous season.
