I think 9-7 at best. |
Which four games do we lose |
@KC, Cleveland, Baltimore, and @Oakland. |
You honestly dont think there is any way we beat KC, Cleve or Oak? I can understand bombing one of those games but you drastically underestimate this team by those comparisons. I can see Bal and TB( I think we win them.) I can even see blowing a game against a bad team, but now 3 games against far inferior teams

Cleveland is dreadful on offense

I can never tell if your being sarcastic or not. Do you honestly feel this team will finish 2-4 the rest of the way with how good they've been playing? Because IMO that's comical. |
9-7 is what the analysts at the beginning of the season. Most of us predicted 8-8 or 9-7 or worse this season. Plus, there is precedent. For the last 15 years, the Broncos have hovered around this record.
9-7 is positive, that is a good record...at least it is a winning record. |
Wait so your basing Denver finishing at 9-7 because that's what most analysts and fans had us at during the the off-season...? You really are crazy huh? Nobody thought Peyton would adjust this quickly, and nobody thought our defense would be this good. It's beyond hilarious to base your projections on some off-season predictions.

Woodyard, Williams, Miller. That would give us our best/fastest LB core that we've had in a long time. |
Best since D.J. Williams - Al Wilson - Ian Gold? |
Gotta go further back than that I think. We still have Williams, WW's better than Gold, and as much as I loved Al Wilson, he's no Von. |
It depends on how you group them too. Remember Wilson and Von Miller played two different positions:
Wilson > DJ at MLB
DJ >> Mays or Brooking at MLB
DJ ~ Gold ~ WW at WLB (I might give a slight edge to DJ here, but not by much. WW has been playing out of his mind, and he's younger. Gold in his prime, was a nightmare. Linemen couldn't get to him quick enough to block him.)
Von > Everyone on earth at SAM
Mobley - Totally forgot about him. He was a bad@ss.
Also, the style of 4-3 we used to play was a bit different than the one they use now. Von Miller is the SAM, but he isn't used the same way that Mobley and DJ were when they were at that position. Man, we've had some damn good LB's over the years.

^^Don't forget precedent too. The Broncos have a great ability to become mediocre down the stretch.
Haha...I am really only kidding. I don't think a Manning led team will let up.

Gradishar, Tommy Jackson, Simon Fletcher, Mecklenburg.
Yup, we've had some dandies!  |

Our defensive lineman have been far from memorable. Vickerson and Dumervil have been our best DL since we won the Super Bowl.

Believe me the Broncos history down the stretch does concern me. However, I think this is a different team ( cliche I know). I think Peyton gives this team a dimension it hasn't had before, or since Elway anyway
