Since 1990, four teams (3%) started 3-6 yet made it to playoffs: 1994 Patriots (10-6), 1995 Lions (10-6), 1996 Jaguars (Doh!, 9-7); 2012 Washington (10-6, Mike Shanahan). Broncos in position to become the fifth. #9sports
It would be nice if they would make a little run though and get to like 8-8. They could help the Chiefs out and lower their draft pick.
If you look at DVOA, the Broncos are actually a pretty good team. They just have a shitbird HC. Like I think Vance may have cost them 2 or 3 wins this year. [Reply]
VJ is bad but he hasn't cost them losses. Elway rolled the dice on shit QBs and thats what has costs them. They stink at QB and they lose because of it, end of story. [Reply]

Beating the Chargers twice and the Steelers would be nice- but they will most likely choke. [Reply]
They aren't great at QB, but he's not awful. They ask him to do to much, which comes back to coaching. They can run the ball great, but they won't stick to it and ask Keenum to throw it around.

Seriously though, how dumb is Elway and Vance? Case was good in college bc of that type of offense and Shurmur mixed that offense with the WCO for him in Minnesota like Andy has done here for years
It’s gonna be a sad day when Vance is let go. Let’s just enjoy the next 2 months [Reply]

That's the Mahomes effect....
Having a generational QB, who is only 23, in your division changes everything.
Not only do you have to build defense to stop him....but have a QB that can compete also. AFCS tried for years when Manning was a Colt...AFCE has never solved the Patriots.
Denver is in for a ruff 5+ years unless they get extremely lucky with their next QB. [Reply]

Rivers is old. Denver is hoping Chase Keesum is the answer. :-) And the Raiders are back to the cellar dwelling mongo Raiders of old. This is going to be a long, slow, painful fucking we're about to give the AFCW. Year after year after year.
Shit, Andy already completely owned this division with Alice out there at QB. It's going to be embarrassing what he does with Pat. [Reply]
