Life long Broncos fan here. I’ll admit, I’m a pessimistic sports fan. I don’t believe til I see. But just going to be real if we don’t make the post season it’s an epic failure. Here’s why. $250M QB, $100M Coach, favorable schedule, should have two losses because of kicker alone (McManus was a great one), can’t lose to Washington up 21-3.
Payton has tried so hard to make this Saints 2.0 and so far I think it’s cost us. If he doesn’t turn this around with a post season appearance I believe it’s a complete waste because of Payton attempting to turn the Broncos into the Saints.
It’s not easy to win games in the NFL. You need a pretty good football team to do that nine or 10 times a season. This team might look pretty good at times, and definitely more so this season than last, but they’re not quite there yet. The best news is that we’re seeing incremental improvement in all phases of the game week-over-week since MIA, so there’s reason to be optimistic. Now, if they win on Sunday night in convincing fashion, everything I just said can be thrown out the window. Lol
