Going from nearly unwatchable the first 6 weeks to some of the most fun I’ve had watching this team in a long long time. First time beating the chiefs in forever, first time we’ve had a 5 game win streak in forever, first time I’ve had hope in November in forever. We’re playing with house money at this point, after that dolphins game we should have never been in the position we’re in but here we are, going into week 13 6-5 with some more winnable games on the horizon. No matter what happens these last handful of games I’m finally happy watching football again. Let’s hope this streak keeps going, it’s all about getting hot at the right time and if we keep pumping like this who knows what can happen… Let’s go Broncos!
I agree the first 6 games sucked but I didn’t not enjoy watching them. I was a staunch believe that even though we weren’t winning we looked like a much better team than last season. With the exception of the Miami loss.
My post history can back me up but I saw a lot of things in the first 6 games that kept me optimistic and I didn’t freak out and bag on our team.
New systems take time to acclimate to and to learn. We had a new offense and new defense. And there’s no replacing game experience. I knew it would be a slow start.
The offense was immediately better and I watched them slowly integrate more and more layers over the first half of the season. They still are in fact. Although I wasn’t a fan of the VJ that piece expectedly took more time. We also had a lot of hurt starters. Now that defense is solid and they’re confusing offenses.
I whole heartedly believe that teams are greater than the sum of their parts and that the defense was playing so poorly because they weren’t playing as a team. We offloaded two starters that were supposed to be two of our better defensive players and we immediately played better. Coincidence? I think not
This winning streak has been awesome
