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.

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

      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.

        Um the Jets beat the broncos very convincingly so I think that it’s obvious that the previous coach was great.

      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.

      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-

        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).

        Not only did you get the win against the Chiefs, that game was the first time the Chiefs had been held to a single digit score since the Titans did it on October 24, 2021.

        I’m a neutral fan and I started thinking they could start making some noise when they didn’t let the score in the loss to Kansas City get out of hand. They were 1-4 before the first Chiefs game and I thought the Chiefs would steamroll them, but the adjustments they’ve made on defense were starting to pay off. 22 points is the highest score against them since week 6.
