Thanks to what's happening in the AFC South, Denver is almost assured that #3 seed, even if they go .500 the rest of the way.
KC and OAK are 4-5, 3 games behind Denver with 7 games left.
So, yeah Denver could still lose the Division, but it's going to take both a monumental collapse by Denver and a running of the table by either OAK or KC.
If Denver is honest with themselves, they say ok... we have a good cushion and we play two undefeated teams coming up that sit ahead of us in the playoff breakdown. Let's give Brock a run, let him drive this thing and see what happens... because one way or another, after 2 months, Manning may not be 50% of his former self to play.
Suck it up, realize you have some room for error as you give Brock experience and work through the transition and hope for the best.
You are 100% correct. Might as well see for sure.
But, like one of my best friends told me (life Broncos fan), "The fans think that you can just plug anybody in and win."
He understands that Qbs don't grow on trees. I think you understand this, too. [Reply]

If I were to bet, I'd say they go 3-4 the rest of the way and finish 10-6. That will be enough to get in. But they've been exposed as frauds. They got to 7-0 with smoke and mirrors. [Reply]
