After starting the season 1-5, the Broncos have ripped off a five game win streak. Denver’s last five opponents: GB, KC, Buffalo, Minnesota, and Cleveland yesterday. Wilson has thrown 8 TDs and 0 INTs over this streak.
How do you rate Denver through 11 games? They’re currently out of the playoff picture, but there’s a bit of a log jam behind Pittsburgh and Cleveland for the 7th seed. And they have a big game against a fellow 6-5 team at Houston next week.
I’m still very scared of getting hurt… cause it feels like such a thin line where the offense is just good enough without committing turnovers and the defense is impactful enough where it’s creating them… that being said… let’s fuckin ride boys and girls
I’m just happy to be here. This is by the most fun I’ve had as a Broncos fan in 8 years
absolutely we fucking beat the chiefs! even without the playoffs this was a memorable year
We’re really going to see the Bills and Bengals miss and the Steelers and Broncos get in, aren’t we? 🤩
Unironically when the 70-20 game was the low point and nowhere to go but up after that
Jags won 7 in a row, idk what yall are on.
Anyways what happened to San Francisco? I heard it fell into the bay after losing 3 in a row (kill me)
I didn’t foresee being very afraid of the Broncos 5 weeks ago, but here we are.
How is this the same team that got 70 dropped on them
creepy horse noises
It’ll be a fun game, ungulate bros!
Why couldn’t we have gotten early season Broncos? lol
That games shaping up to be pretty impactful
You got early season packers though.
It balanced out with the Waxing Gibbous
I’m frankly excited. I have much respect for your team and fan base (even though it’s been a lifetime of suck for y’all)
I’ve long desired to see the Lions go to and win a Super Bowl so that generations of fans can finally experience that moment. I know how important that first win really is and the emotions I felt back in '97 and just wishing my Dad was there to see it.
And then, after watching Bye Bye Barry last night (the most electrifying RB in history imo) those feelings were multiplied ten fold.
I remember 97. So special. Such a great feeling. Then the Nuggets last year. Probably the last time I ever experience that big of a high as a sports fan. But boy was that worth it.
Mom said it was our turn for the easy games this year
Hey man to be fair we beat the Packers, Bears, and Vikings for you guys. Even if y’all give us a game we already set it up so overall we did nothing to hurt or help your divisional champ chances.
That’s how I felt about the Bengals, lol. Niners were one of the only teams this year who got them with a fully healthy Burrow.
Thems the breaks sometimes.
Russell Wilson Superbowl confirmed
Just as we all predicted after they went 1-5 to start the season. I’d rate them a solid 6 out of 11. They aren’t exciting by any means, but Sean Payton has them playing tough.
As a guy who fucking loves physical football the Broncos are the most fun team to watch in the NFL. Everyone else is playing glorified two hand touch, Broncos remembered they can fucking hit.
Crazy that a team who gave up 70 points in a single game might make the playoffs.
If they win the superbowl, that’ll be a trivia question for eternity.
If they win the sb I’ll get 70-20 tattooed on me
First team with a winning record that we’ve beaten. 🐬
Exactly. The conclusion I’m drawing from all this is the Dolphins are FOR REAL (always have been tbh).
You guys finally broke us and now we’re at the point we are at lmfao.
is that how that works? Beating an 0-2 broncos team counts as beating a team with a winning record?
It does when it’s a joke
Broncos Country, let’s… ride?
They ridin’
Mr. Big Comeback

Mr. Better Coach
Ootl why does everyone always say Mr. Bword Cword?
Gotta give credit to Payton. Him and Russ bounced back
I’m not surprised Russ would bounce back this year. I don’t think he’s quite as electric as he was in Seattle, but that’s simply a result of him being older. He’s playing sensible football. Maybe not at the expectations of that contract, but it’s not like the Broncos will go bankrupt due to it.
I’m also not surprised he’s bounced back. Last year was such an anomaly. Even in the moment, it was clear that Hackett was awful and set up the team to fail. What kinda surprised me is how Russ’ game has evolved this season. He’s more conservative, quick to take check-downs, and more confident working the middle of the field. It’s as if Payton did a hard reboot and stripped his game down to the very basics.
What’s scary about this Broncos team is that they have managed to rip off five wins against top teams while playing highly restrained offense. As the season goes on, I expect Payton will open up the playbook more, which means opposing defenses will have to adapt on the fly.
I think the Broncos are mostly where they belong. They’ll likely finish with a winning record around 9-8, but I don’t think they have a high ceiling. Feels like they’re winning by a slim margin often and benefitting a lot from turnovers, leading the league right now.
