I guess that was a pretty open comment. At least in my life time Denver has been competitive in the division nearly every year outside the rare stumble. I would love for them to have one of those 4-6 win seasons, but they always seem to find a way to make it interesting. [Reply]

The leaky o-line without Manning's quick release is key too...Sanchize fumbles a lot...which is worse than an INT. Manning could size up defenses...maybe the best in history at it...his arm just failed him.
Considering Donkos won 11 of their 12 games by 7 or less....there isn't really any wiggle-room for a shaky start. [Reply]

That's it. They're the champs until proven otherwise. They've had a longer string of success than KC. So as much as I hate them, they will have to disprove recent history. [Reply]

I lived in Colorado Springs for 6 months...20+ years ago. It took a full week before I could walk up a simple flight of stairs without getting light-headed. This is an advantage that no other team has...I dont care how Donko fans want to rationalize it. It's real...I've lived it.
It goes hand-in-hand with the disproportionate home record over the past 30 years. It's far better than any other team..it's why they hover around .500 even when they arent very good.
I wondered, back in the Schottenheimer years...why they didn't just move practice to Colorado for the week. Let the team get acclimated to the thin air...
It must be nice to have a natural occurring drug...that makes every member of the visiting team prematurely tired. [Reply]

Man, you are a whiner. Do you cry about crazy cold temps that warm city teams have to play in during the playoffs too? [Reply]

Oh, the humidity!
I'm thinking BlackOp remains in a fairly constant state of lightheadedness. [Reply]
The way he views it, all teams in that area should be in the title games annually for their respective sports. I guess that really started happening with the Broncos late in the 70s... must have been sitting a mile lower in previous decades. [Reply]
Yeah..I noticed both of you droogs failed to acknowledge the advantage. It's what Donko fans do...change the topic and rationalize. Just like when someone brings up cheating the cap.... [Reply]

I've never denied the effects of playing a mile above sea level. I laugh at the notion that is why they consistently win. [Reply]

That's 100% true. I go to Denver every summer and I can barely breathe if I go out for a run. [Reply]

So..you are inadvertently admitting that the thin air is an advantage that no one else in the NFL has...but definitely has nothing to do with why there is a disproportionate, decades long, winning home field record...while all the other 31 are lumped closer together, statistically.
Gotcha....another classic spin-job by a Donko.
The next thing you'll try to sell me..is that your owner needed Elway to pay for his stadium. [Reply]

Can you post the home field stats? I'm genuinely interested. [Reply]
