Talking with you is like talking with a robot. You just repeat the same stuff, ad nauseam.
You talk about how Broncos fans are all fan boys - how they can never see things with any objectivity. Then you repeat the same lines you’ve been programmed to say. And as far as I can tell, you’ve done this approximately 62,974 times on this site. Is there an original thought in there?
You're a lying sack of crap and I will tell you that until you stop lying [Reply]
There's always some weird takes in this thread by Chief Fan.
Guys, there's a zillion reasons to laugh at these poor bastards. Getting a 1st for Bradley Chubb sure as F isn't one of them. That was a steal at the time, has inevitably proven so already, and will only haunt Miami for years with all that money they overpaid him. And money Denver saved (like us with Hill, except Hill isn't trash).
Yeah their D had some bad games down the stretch. NOT because they lost Chubb at all. Ridiculous implication. They were overachieving for a lot of the year (great DC it seems, hope they lose him to a HC elsewhere). Other than Surtain, there's not a lot on that D, certainly not to the the level they were getting early. Again, regardless of Chubb. That's nonsense. [Reply]

Yes, surely you understand how the motivation would be different if something was on the line... :-) You never fail to entertain with your comments. [Reply]
It's just too bad that they hired Hackett... sure, you can't take too much from the last two games, but there was never really a glimpse of what they did in the last two games during Hackett's run. At least they didn't just totally mail it in at the end, there were a few guys fighting for new contracts and pride.

Exactly, then the season happens, they get swept by KC, finish last, and they're looking for a HC again. Rinse / Repeat. :-) [Reply]

You're forgetting one thing. The Broncos have to actually do something worthwhile with the pick. TBD [Reply]

On to whatever happens next.
Looks a lot like you ARE taking a lot from the last 2 games. When will you ever learn??? :-)
Last go around you predicted 10 wins, you only missed it by 5... :-) [Reply]
Russ played quite a bit better the last few games than he did early in the season and I don't pay close enough attention to know if a different offense was being run than when Hackett was coach. Didn't seem like it they just executed better.
Russ still made some really bone headed plays for a veteran though and took alot of sacks. I doubt it will get much better but who knows. [Reply]
