I think this will depend on multiple factors. Where is Denver picking? Who is coming out in the draft?
If they pick where they are now, 9th, then Caleb Williams and Drake Maye are unattainable. If Penix or McCarthy comes out they may be able to get him, but that would require giving up more draft assets to get him. [Reply]

1) It was a meaningful game for the Broncos. Was it their Super Bowl? Well, losing sixteen straight games against a division rival is obviously not normal or acceptable. More emphasis should have been put on this game, and it obviously was.
2) It was very likely a watershed moment for them. Did they turn into a Super Bowl contender overnight? I wish; but realistically, no. I think it's pretty likely, though, that Broncos fans will look back on that game and say, "That was the beginning of the end of the worst run of loser's mentality in team history."
3) It wasn't just a meaningless blip on the radar for you guys. After the failed 3rd-down play on your first drive, Mahomes and Nik Bonitto got into some sort of verbal altercation. You could see Mahomes saying, "Okay. Let's go. Let's see what happens." I remember thinking, "Man, why in the world would you want to poke that bear?" It seemed to really nicely set the narrative for a hero game. The flu. A 3-and-out first drive in a hostile environment. And now Mahomes is pissed off on a personal level. Here comes 5 TD passes.
But then, it just never materialized - the hero game never developed. And more importantly, the script the Broncos had been following all season (a couple good scripted drives to start, and then total implosion) stayed in the green room. It's not that Mahomes and company didn't want it to happen. The Broncos just decided not to act like chumps, for a change.
I like to think that the Broncos became semi-relevant again on Sunday. I doubt it's enough to get them into the playoff picture, at this point. But it's a good sign for us.

More draft assets? Are you saying Penix and McCarthy will go before 9? I'd be surprised.
I'm no draft guru, but I'm not too concerned about finding the next QB. Between Penix, McCarthy, Nix, Ewers, Leonard, Daniels, Sanders and likely others there will be someone there. [Reply]

For the love of GOD - please take the Penix. [Reply]

Penix would be an awesome choice if it wasn't for the two ACLs and bum right shoulder. I'd be shocked if he didn't tear his ACL again and had an 11 to 12 year football career in the NFL. [Reply]
It’s great to see that Denver fans have their cockiness back. Little do they know how screwed they are. They’re positioned worse than any franchise in the league for the next few years. A week ago their FO was on the verge of accepting this reality. Now they’ll either a) think they’re close or b) try to force it to justify the Wilson trade/contract. Even if they do start over and go back to the drawing board, they’ll probably just get worse over the next few years, with no guarantee of ever getting close to KC’s level.
But keep crowing about the worst thing that could have happened for your future. Just shows how deeply our team is lodged in your heads. :-) [Reply]

I'm real sorry to hear that. It's been years since I visited Maui. My Dad and some family had to evacuate and relocate from Kauai after Hurricane Iniki destroyed everything in the 90's. They never went back. [Reply]

And some of us are just technologically savvy enough to gather and keep receipts.
I have done you a courtesy, at this point, with the hope that you would go a different direction and move on to the next person or organization with whom you are really, really angry because they really, really screwed you. My guess is that you find new individuals or groups to be targets for your ire about once a week. Just count on that policy coming to an end, the minute you start harassing me or any of our regular posters.
So, think about it. Let's avoid going off all half cocked, shall we? Thanks, my friend.
Are you drunk kiddo? Seriously. What are you even talking about? "technologically savvy"? Receipts? "Screwed you"? "Ire"???
Yeah, let's have this talk. I have nothing to hide. Now I'm really intrigued... You now must give us all details! lol
Did someone play you for a fool? :-)!!! Sounds like you got really punked!
What courtesy in your crazy little mind do you think you've given me? :-)
Whatever is going on it's certainly not me. Send me an email and we can talk on the phone. Sounds to me like you've been played... And you owe me an apology for being so stupid.

Your chances of getting a really good QB are much better if you're picking near the top. [Reply]

I think it means he's been in IT for over 3 decades and knows how to take pictures with his phone if there are any questions surrounding his ability to spend $100 at The Olive Garden. [Reply]
