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.
Broncos Super Bowl and I’m not kidding
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.

Broncos Country, let’s… ride?
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.
I didn’t foresee being very afraid of the Broncos 5 weeks ago, but here we are.
It’ll be a fun game, ungulate bros!
creepy horse noises
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
Honestly 8-9 was all I wanted/needed at the start of the season
I had predicted 7 wins at the beginning of the season, being there was such a massive change in coaches.
Hey, we’re almost there! Let’s see if we can beat your prediction this week
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
We do have AZ this Sunday and NE following Thursday both at home. Could quickly be 9-4
Sheesh yeah y’all are probably in it then…
Texans vs Broncos is gonna be a fun game. We beat a hot Bengals team a few weeks ago. Time to do it again
The Broncos have a winning streak through a fucken gauntlet, which makes it even scarier.
Mr. Unliiiiimited
Wow, congrats bronco bros
Sean Payton really didn’t write back after the Dolphins game lol
Hell yeah gimme the eagles next
. . Jk
Let’s Ride
The eagles don’t deserve it this year. Ref ball is cancer to the sport.
