At Ravens and then at Chiefs. Likely 5-5 after those games, but who knows. You could put the season stats for Nix and Mahomes side by side and barely tell the difference. Still, Denver very likely isn’t winning at KC.
At 5-5, it’s home vs Falcons… should be a loss, but they’re not consistent either.
Then on the road vs Raiders… best shot at snapping the streak.
Then home games vs the Browns and Colts.
Should win 2, wouldn’t be shocked with 3 wins if those 4… would 8-6.
Then it’s at the Chargers, Bengals and home vs KC.
They will win one of those and get to the 9 win mark that I projected for them.
If Denver enters the final 3 games at 8-6, I think they’ll win 10 games.
You are going to start facing functional teams that will spy Nix and take away the run game...Spags 100% will force him to beat man coverage.
You guys have been extremely fortunate to face almost exclusively bottom-tier/injured offenses. Your defensive rankings are wildly exaggerated...as would be the case if you had only faced top 10 offenses. Your team could easily be 2-5 if the same schedule has been ordered differently...
The win against the Bucs was the only one worth mentioning...but it was also in the 2nd week.
I have you at 7 wins...8 tops. Raiders, Panthers and potentially Browns....all three on back-up QBs (again).
I'm not sure what about the Chargers game would give you any confidence in beating them...they were up 23-0 to start the 4th and went into auto-pilot. [Reply]

They beat the Bucs on the road in week 3. And yeah, results would be different had they opened up against the tough teams like Baltimore.
It is what it is and I realize that, I’m certainly not expecting greatness and they haven’t turned it around. They have a lot of work to do. [Reply]

Ohhhh I dunno about that. That uncatchable PI TD right before half was a back breaker. [Reply]

"Tiddlywinks," really?
Not much on history, eh Dempsey? Well, if you poll the owners on which owner meant the most to the game in the last, say, 30 years, Pat would win.
Pat Bowlen was the TV Committee chairman in 1993, and along with Jerry Jones, negotiated the massive, landmark TV rights deal with Fox and CBS and I think ESPN. Rupert Murdoch came in with a huge offer, way more than they expected. Tagliabue later said it was Pat who kept them from being too shocked and over-celebrating right away, he said Pat kept them mellow enough to extracted more from the other networks. NBC had to bow out completely.
Anyway, Pat and Jerry made the owners much MUCH richer than they were before. And NFL market cities saw local TV stations swapping network affiliates for several years after. And FOX became a real network.
Oh yeah, and the NFL Network was Pat's brainchild. He marshaled it from the idea-board all the way to cable TV tiers.
Plus his team was 7-2 in AFCCGs in just 30+ years of his day-to-day control:

What about Super Bowls? And especially in Super Bowls where he did not cheat/circumvent the salary cap? I mean while we're talking about facts and all. :-)
**Under Pat Bowlen, the Denver Broncos violated the salary cap during their Super Bowl seasons. :-) [Reply]

Manchambo, I've been looking for those receipts. From what I've seen, Pasta has always been spot on. Maybe you're the one that's batshit crazy [Reply]

I don’t even know what most of these refer to. But if you predict that any team won’t be good every single year you’re bound to be right reasonably often—most teams aren’t very good.
I was referring, however, to his prediction that denver would be worse this year than last year. [Reply]

Of course, that's the part he omits, because he thinks all his other blather regarding Bowlen automatically sweeps Bowlen's scandalous activities under the rug. And his blather regarding Bowlen tells us exactly why only Al Davis was the only owner with balls enough to speak out publicly regarding the Donks scandalous activities.
Hey BroncoDuff (or whatever your name is), I do know a bit of history. Jets owner Sonny Werblin did a much more significant thing along that line in the early to mid 1960's getting the AFL set up with a lucrative TV contract with a 36 Million dollar contract with NBC that kept the league solvent (you wouldn't have a Donks team to hump up your neighbor's dog over, if this hadn't happened). Far more significant than anything Bowlen did, but Sonny Werblin is NOT in the HOF.
Like I said, Bowlen doesn't merit any HOF nomination...........try again. [Reply]

They're all that way... But he's a real dipshit Mule Tool. I've read his stuff over at the Mane and the Huddle. He spews stupidity wherever he goes. [Reply]
