Common question, and for what it's worth: the chant caught on circa 1996. The Broncos' PA announcer always says the result of the play. He'll throw in some emotion when the Broncos get a first down, and would slowly announce stuff like "Bono's pass is... in..com..plete".
There was a high scoring Broncos-Ravens game around October 1996. Vinny Testaverde threw the ball about 40-50 times, and the "in...com..plete" really caught on during that game. The cheerleaders added a little "in-com-PLETE" motion to their routine in 1997. Now it's even a part of Madden video games.
For the record: I HATE HATE HATE the Broncos, John Elway, Terrell Davis, their current unis, and a whole lot about that franchise.
That said...I dig the "IN-COM-PLETE" chants, but I miss when they used to play the derby-muted trumpet's "WAH WAH WAH" after that chant. (You'd know it if you heard it.) That was rub-it-in GOLD.
Star wipe, and...we're out. Thrillin' ain't easy.

In order: you suck, you suck, you suck, you may have a point there, and you suck.
If I'm remembering what I've heard correctly, they even do that now and then during Broncos home games in ESPN NFL 2K5.

The Broncos fans do "In-com-plete!" for every single incompletion in Madden '04, and I would guess '05 as well. Gets to be annoying when you have Drew Brees under center.
