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

Quality loss baby!

[–] Dkaiser1919@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Unironically when the 70-20 game was the low point and nowhere to go but up after that

What losing to the goddamn Jets will do to teams

[–] Dapvip@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Indeed. Both teams last loss were to the Jets. Imagine that.

Gotta give credit to Payton. Him and Russ bounced back

[–] SocialDistanceMedia@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

lesson #8008374838293 that you should not take anyone seriously when they draw massive conclusions about teams in the first two months of the season

I still think the Panthers are ass.

Honestly with the win against the Chiefs I was content to call this season a success (yes I was that desperate to break the streak). I'm starting to believe the wins aren't flukes, they're righting the ship and with their upcoming schedule, playoffs really are a possibility. -knocks on wood just in case-

Depends on a lot of things, but when you have a new head coach having to unfuck what the previous coach broke it takes longer.

A great example of this was when the Sam Darnold Panthers started the season with a 3-0 record, only to end up with a 5-12 record at the end of the season.

In September I was wishing this entire team would disappear and I could jump forward to like 2027 when the Broncos would recover from our terrible mistakes, and luckily wishes never come true.

I’ll have you know he’s two cells down from me.

[–] qhollis405@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Nskxbehcidnsjxodvr@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] MugiwaraJinbe@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I didn’t foresee being very afraid of the Broncos 5 weeks ago, but here we are.

Why couldn’t we have gotten early season Broncos? lol

That games shaping up to be pretty impactful

[–] Hiker-Redbeard@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

First team with a winning record that we've beaten. 🐬

[–] KevinMR@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

is that how that works? Beating an 0-2 broncos team counts as beating a team with a winning record?

God, that prediction of a Broncos playoff run looked REALLY rough for a while, now it looks like a lock

I'll say it again, every reason to have been excited about the 2022 Broncos is still there, only they went from Mr "dick around for 3 minutes and play for a 65 yard field goal" to Mr "Onside kick at halftime of the Super Bowl". They were bound to be better.

[–] rfgrunt@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

If you’ve watched the broncos games the last 5 weeks, only the browns win felt decisive. The broncos are certainly not a lock for the playoffs but do look much more composed. They’re very healthy with a lopsided TO ratio that is difficult to sustain

[–] ElwaysHorseFace@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I mean tbf the first 6 weeks of the season only the fins game felt decisive in the other direction. We’ve been close in every game so far other than the 70 burger, things were bound to start falling our way.

Crazy that a team who gave up 70 points in a single game might make the playoffs.

Texans vs Broncos is gonna be a fun game. We beat a hot Bengals team a few weeks ago. Time to do it again

It’s because we got rid of that stupid ass “Danger-wich”.

shudders 😬

[–] R1DER_of_R0HAN@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I don't know what to predict, but I absolutely never would have predicted consecutive wins over KC, Buffalo, Minnesota, and Cleveland. I saw Houston and Detroit as definite blowout losses a few weeks ago, now they've stumbled a bit recently and Denver is still winning. I don't dare get too hyped up, anything can still happen, but the Broncos are blazing hot with most of their toughest on paper matchups behind them; it's not a bad position to be in.

[–] jackt-up@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’m happy for Broncos fans and I’m super relieved for Russell

Even if they miss the playoffs and go like 8-9 that’s a huge improvement from last year and everybody can settle down

[–] bigfootdude247@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Honestly 8-9 was all I wanted/needed at the start of the season

[–] jackt-up@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I would think so, but y’all are def going 9-8 or 10-7 and squeaking in there and I’m all about it

Colts Steelers and Browns will all falter

All you gotta do is beat them

[–] lostboyscaw@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We do have AZ this Sunday and NE following Thursday both at home. Could quickly be 9-4
