Craig Morton - The First Great Number 7

On: 2007-09-08

Great films of the early Bronco years and the beginning of Broncomania. I wish more focus was given to the first real "NFL Quarterback" - Craig Morton, that Denver had. A must for all fans of Denver football.

Broncos, Denver

Until somebody can put together every game, press release, news story and so forth, this two part dvd will do. I got to see some stuff that happened before I was born, giving me a bigger sense of their history. The in their own words are cool to have too. Nostalgic.

Great for Bronco Fans

This DVD contains the most memorable moments in Broncos History. I really enjoyed watching it. Altought I certainly would have loved to see more of other great players like Dennis Smith, Steve Atwater and Louis Wright.

A Broncos Fan Must!

This DVD was great I leaned alot of thing from my favorite team!Lots of good info. If you are a Denver fan, check it out!

Must have for the die hard Bronco fan

On: 2007-02-16

As a Colorado native and a season ticket holder with the Broncos I find this a must have DVD. It is a great history of the team, and provides a sense of how some of the Bronco traditions got started. I thought inclusion of commentary from the Barrelman gave this DVD credibility from the fan perspective. Some of the NFL films provided material on disc 2 was a bit of fluff. Having the Bronco Browns Championship game from 86 is great.

Amazing

I just got through watching both discs. NFL films did a great job -- the quality of the footage is high, the interviews are great. Its just an amazing DVD that any Broncos fan would love!

Broncos History DVD

I bought this DVD for my husband for Christmas and he absolutely loves it! Being a big Elway fan for years, he says hes never seen a better DVD on the Broncos and Elway. Thanks!!!

For Bronco lovers

This was purchased as a gift for my husband and boys who are big Bronco fans. We lived in Denver during the Superbowl wins so the focus on that time period was fine. All enjoy watching it. My husband has been a Bronco fan since the late 60s so enjoyed the early history as well. I read the reviews here first and bought knowing that it focused on the Elway years. That works for our family. Definitely recommend it for Bronco fans.

Bronco Fan Must

On: 2007-01-16

This is a Bronco fan must have item. Even though I have religiously followed the Broncos for over 2 decades, there is still plenty to learn and enjoy in this 2 DVD pack.

Gift for my husband

I purchased this DVD for my husband, who is a huge Denver Broncos fan. He absolutely loved it. It contains a lot of interesting information about several key players in the Broncos history, including coaches. Worth the money for your Denver Broncos fan.

D-Broncs 4 Evah!!!

On: 2007-01-15

This is a fantastic DVD set. A must have for any Broncos fan. The history itself is very well done, and the hour long specials on Elway and Shanahan are great as well. There is one on Lynch, which is cool, but Plummer? They probably could have left that one out.

Bronco fans

If you are a sports fan, specifically a Denver Bronco fan, this is MUST SEE. We have season tickets, and have been attending games since 1976. So much of the material in this DVD, we witnessed. So Bronco fans, ENJOY!

Nice DVD

I love the Broncos and have seen the lows ( 80s Super Bowls ) and the highs ( 90 s Super Bowls ) so I was excited about this release. Overall, it is good. The first DVD is a lot of good info and history while disc two is the Drive game in Cleveland. Yeah, a great game for sure and I love it, but I would have loved to have seen their first Super Bowl win as a complete game. I love the Broncos so I like this DVD, but it leaves one desiring a lot more knowing their rich history.

Must have for avid Bronco Fans

Although some of the material has been released previously, the material contained here makes for a reasonably good collection. There are some missing parts of the history but it would be difficult to include everything pertinent to the history of the Broncos and keep it under five discs.

A decent collection, but could have been better

On: 2006-11-16

As a lifelong Denver resident and Bronco fan, I was greatly anticipating the release of this DVD. I was sure NFL Films would pull out some great footage that hadnt been seen before, and we could get a really in-depth look at the development of the Rocky Mountain regions first major league football franchise, as well as a game or two from the past.

If you are a die-hard Broncos fan from before the Elway era, you may be disappointed with this DVD. While understandably focusing a great deal of attention on the man that has come to define the franchise and his impact after retirement, very little attention is given to the players that first captured the citys heart in the late 60s and early 70s, especially the Orange Crush. Surely NFL Films could have gotten long-time defensive coordinator Joe Collier, Randy Gradishar, Rubin Carter, or Louis Wright to sit down for a few minutes and provide their thoughts on those years. However, there is a nice section in the main feature on Marlin Briscoe, the first starting black quarterback in the AFL or NFL, as well as other lesser-known but significant players like Charley Johnson. This historical oversight might be due to the fact that up until the mid 1970s, the Broncos just werent a very good team and thus the archival footage of their games and players is scarce, but it is still disappointing. Insights from Tim Mckernan, the "Barrel Man," provide a nice view of a true-hardcore fan, as well as former LB Tom Jackson, who truly seems to appreciate and relish just how devoted the teams fans are.

If you are an Elway fan, youll love this DVD. The crux of this compilation focuses on the mans impact on the franchise and how he has come to be synonomous with the team, the city, and its identity.

The biggest disappointment has to be the single game NFL Films chose for the set, the 1987 AFC Championship game that featured "The Drive." While no doubt a watershed moment in the franchises history, as well as Elways coming-out party, much of the actual game itself is really not all that memorable--its only the last 5 minutes that anyone really cares about. Rich Karlis kick in overtime that sent them to the Super Bowl is almost an afterthought. Why not relegate "The Drive" as a 20 minute special feature, and include whole games such as their first AFC Championship against Oakland in 1978 or the Super Bowl win against Green Bay, which not only ended the Broncos streak of Super Bowl losses, but the double-digit losing streak of the AFC in Super Bowls as well? There is just so much potential that was wasted on what could have been a classic compilation.

Warning: Those who bought a VHS tape from a few years back called "Mile High Memories" will find a great deal of material from that tape on this DVD, including special features on Floyd Little and Tombstone Jackson. So if you bought that tape, getting this DVD might be an unnecessary expense.

Bottom line: Only buy if you are a die-hard Bronco fan.

Great DVD Horrible Shipping by Amazon

On: 2006-11-14

The DVD was great and I enjoyed the movie.

What I didnt appreciate was Amazons shipping services. The receipt was actually hot glued to the DVD sleeve (now ruined), there was a gash on the sleeve from a box cutter blade and the case was cracked. Luckily the DVDs were ok.

GO BRONCOS!

On: 2006-08-01

Being a die hard Bronco fan since 1986 I cant wait for this DVD. From reliving the moments of the orange crush (I wish they still wore those uniforms!) to Elways greatest comebacks, and of course the back to back Super Bowl victories. Im sure it will be a must have for any Broncomaniac. November 7th cant come soon enough!
