Have you ever seen so much sadness and disappointment surrounding a 7-2 team before? I mean, it’s as if Pat Bowlen just relocated the franchise to Anchorage the way everybody’s acting.
This is sports. Crap happens. We move on.
Has it been the most fun week? No. Do we wish this whole Peyton Manning thing would just fix itself? Yeah, of course. But, once again, it’s not all bad.
So, just in case you can’t pull yourself out of this malaise on your own, let me help you. Here are five reasons Denver Broncos fans should be excited for the rest of the season.
The season IS NOT over!
There’s been no funeral; the Broncos are not dead. In fact, they’re very much alive.
The team is 7-2! That’s, uh, great. And six of those victories came with the offense playing like absolute bull you-know-what. So, as long as Brock Osweiler can keep this offense playing like bull you-know-what, we’ll be right where we started.
But really, barring a meteor to Dove Valley, the Broncos are going to be in the playoffs come January, and at that point, nothing is off limits. I don’t care if the offense enters the postseason averaging 15 yards per game; in football, anything can happen.
We have seen countless numbers of teams go through brutal stretches in the regular season, only to make a deep run in the postseason. Unlike most other sports, the best team doesn’t always win — just ask the ’07 Patriots.
And honestly, I’d almost rather face this adversity now then go through the whole season thinking we’re the bee’s knees.
So if you’re one of the many people counting the Broncos out, don’t; you never know what’s going to happen.
