After the big KC win, it has me (and probably a lot of you) thinking. Despite the win and being in an outside shot for the playoffs, but still doable, should the Broncos be sellers or stay put at the trade deadline? I personally think there have been improvements in the team the last couple weeks that would be enough to warrant holding onto players unless amazing offers cross the table. 4 out of the next 5 are winnable games (aka Min and Cle due to QB injuries), and who knows which buffalo team is going to show up. Seems like they play down to their opponents. Maybe I’m overly optimistic after a big win, but I think there’s an outside chance at a run at the 7 seed, if even a very small one. Regardless, go Broncos and fuck KC!
Week 1- we lost by one point to the Raiders and Lutz missed an extra point and his only field goal of the year (other than yesterday’s block)
Week 2- we were up 21-3 against Commanders and took our foot off the gas.
Week 3- horrendous 70 point game in Miami- we cut Randy Gregory and got rid of Frank Clark
Week 4- down 28-7 in Chicago we didn’t give up and came back to win against Bears
Week 5- weird loss to Jets because of all the pressure caused by Payton’s derogatory comments about Hacket- lots of emotions for Jets
Week 6- short week loss in Kansas City. Home teams on Thursday night have massive advantages. Despite this schedule loss, we only let Mahomes in end zone once! Held Chiefs to 19 points
Week 7- absolutely dominated Packers- two flukey TD’s for Love make it seem closer than it was. We truly should have won 19-3
Week 8- we gave Mahomes the worst loss of his career
Looking at the season in this light, why would we trade anyone? We can make the playoffs! Buffalo and Lions on the road will be tough games but we should be favored in the rest!
