EVERYONE (including your team) knows it ...except you, apparently.
So I'll ask a simple question...Does Denver have an advantage, due to thin air, that no other home team has?

Those are of tears of joy....watching Elway wreck the team. He's doing a fantastic job in his first real season without Manning holding his hand...landing Sanchez was some serious mastermind-level shit. [Reply]
I've never denied the altitude creates issues with players, you act as if it's the biggest reason they win at home. I pointed out their road record is pretty good as well, and not as big of a drop compared to other teams.
Is the thin air an advantage? Sure, but it's not the reason they win. [Reply]

Not from what I'm hearing within the organization. Regrets on Pickston in Rd 1, horrible o line, too many losses on defense, 6 to 8 win expectations. Uh oh... [Reply]

It's just a cheap situation no one else has. It's bogus. [Reply]

Sorry to damper your enthusiasm but Pat Bowlen already received his ownership/management parting gift from the NFL in the form of SB 50.
No more free rides and gratuities from Roger. Your Donks and horseface gotta earn this on your own now. No Peyton swan song or Papa John / Budweiser to fall back on.

Easy, one team lives and trains almost exclusively in the thin air of Denver, the other teams are out of town for nearly half of their seasons.
The Broncos leave on Friday and come back immediately after the game on Sunday, the other teams can be gone on longer road trips. In 4-7 days your body will adjust to the new altitudes, so if the other teams are gone for 4+ days they need to re-acclimate to the Denver altitude when they get home. [Reply]
If the Chiefs had managed to be a thorn in Manning's side or least keep it matched all these years, I could understand some of the chest-pounding I keep reading here.
As it stands, this is the equivalent of a Sith apprentice waiting for the master to die of old age in order to usurp the mantle of Dark Lord, instead of rightfully challenging for it.
