Don’t know what it is about today, but having heard, seen and read nearly every season preview on the Denver Broncos; I can’t remember a good thing necessarily about one of them. Not today though, today everyone seems to be on the Broncos side.
As I’m typing this 13% of the readers polled on NFL.com believe that the Denver Broncos will be the non-playoff surprise team in the AFC. Deion Sanders does too, on the NFL Network, Prime time chose the Denver Broncos to be his surprise team in 2008. Adam Schein on his Afternoon Blitz show on Sirius NFL Radio changed his stance and picked the Broncos as one of his wild card teams.
However, shhh, please national media. We were completely copasetic in our quiet mountain town. We weren’t bothering anybody; we were simply slowly building an army, planning on testing our sites on the West and then moving onto the nation. Thanks for the attention, but respect our privacy.
In all of my time as a Bronco fan, I can only remember one or two seasons when we’ve been predicted do well and done well and vice-versa. I, as most fans were encouraged to see the Denver Broncos ranked somewhere between the Baltimore Ravens and the Carolina Panthers. Power ranking schmower ranking Bill Williamson should know better.
Either way, I’m sure it has happened before, but I cannot remember a Denver Broncos coach guaranting that the Broncos would make the playoffs.
