It got our attention and we are talking about them. For a struggling team like Denver, any attention is good attention.
I think they will be better however they gave up a lot for a QB that Seattle has no real replacement for. It just seems odd. Not like when KC went for San Fran backups (Grbac, Bono, Smith). I have a hard time understanding why a team would trade away a franchise QB.
I didn't like it when the Chiefs did it and evidently, NFL teams don't learn from others mistakes.
They will win some games, even a blind hog finds an acorn. Winning the division seems like a long shot, even with a 4th place schedule. [Reply]
I can't see Seattle winning tonight. It would be great if they did. You never know. I didn't think that the Titans would lose to the Giants or the Bears would beat the 49ers either. So go Seahawks.

Agreed... However the Broncos, Raider and Chargers have all been at or near the top of the division over the past 20 years. The Jets were challenging for the lead for a couple of years. The Bills and Dolphins were spinning their wheels with each team occasionally beating the Patriots.
I know that I'm biased however I will say that the AFC West has been one of the most competitive and strongest divisions since the merger.
Okay, other than the Chargers... :-) And we have to forget the mid 70s through 89 Chiefs. That was a hard time to live though. Although the false hope of the 90s really gave lot of gut punches that still hurt to this day. [Reply]
You know your only chance is if the NFL manufactures some wins to appease their new $50 billion dollar man. So I'm not surprised that you posted that picture...he is much more important to your season than Wilson.
If the game is close...keeping an eye out for some key yellow conversions. [Reply]
