Broncos Fanatic
Gauging the current and way too early mood of the best Broncos fans around. Our playoff drought has been mind-numbingly long. Vote, discuss and be merry.
This is why I'm not buying any hype this year. We have so much to prove and staying healthy is #1. Our depth is bad in key areas.We won't be worse then last year. I can almost promise you that (fast forward, probably regret saying this with 100 injuries for the 5th year in a row)
I see the Broncos as a .500
I'd love to see us stay healthy and really evaluate this roster without excuses of IF IF IF. Whatever happens we move forward. As a football fan putting my diehard Bronco fan aside. I have no control on 23 outcome but, looking at AFC for next decade. If Broncos can't get a playoff spot in 23 I think 7-9 wins is worst scenerio longterm for us. I'm tired of losing like we all are but, if we want to battle AFC for a decade we need a legit decade long QB (Wilson won't play 10 years) to go forward with in Denver. It will be interesting to see what level of Wilson will Payton be satisfied with going with him til 2026/27I don't think our roster is as good as many think it is. Oline is still a question mark for me until proven with several new starters and what I see as a lack of depth, but it is better on paper. Pass rush has major injury questions and lack of depth as does the interior Dline and until I see Jevonte healthy the RB position is a question mark although I do love Samaje and that signing but he is a complimentary back. RW is also a huge question mark. Has he lost it? It does happen and the dude has taken more hits over his career than just about any other QB and that takes its toll.
I love getting Sean in as the HC, but I think we are a year away from real contention. Best case we grab the last WC spot. I hope I am wrong, but who knows. I guess the past 5+ years has worn on me and I am pretty pessimistic this year until I see a better team on the field.

This is spot on and belongs in the Let’s go! thread.I expect real improvement on the sidelines, which should equal winning most of those close games we list last year. That alone puts us at 500.
I think we could feasibly be a wildcard team.
