Game Thread: Week 8- Kansas City Chiefs @ Denver Broncos

[iknowftbll]

This is without question the best 3-5 Broncos team we’ve seen since the 2011 Broncos reached the 3-5 record.

there are still some very tough games on the slate, so I’m not getting too excited. I just am glad to see the Broncos looming like a professional football team. Especially after that debacle against the Dolphins.

This season could be a turning point.

I think if you were planning on a top 5 draft pick you can save your time and stop dreaming... Not that we are going to the Super Bowl but we are better then a top 5 draft slot team and while we have learned to never trust one game, two games in the last 7 years I think we all know at this point were are very unlikely to pick in the top 5.

If we do you can quote this and I will enjoy the draft pick but I think we need to stop wishing and hoping we lose because we are better then that.

(For the record, I told DC before the game that I would be very happy if we won today.)

It’s also nice, for a change, to go into a bye week off a win rather than a loss.

Ja'Quan McMillian came to play .. The D was great, McMillian was great - give that man a game ball ...

Two great wins in a row, with two guys in the secondary getting their first NFL INTs in huge spots .. McMillian and Locke, great to see ..

Getting Justin Simmons back has been big, too

"If you watch most of my picks ( off Mahomes ), it's because our pass rush is so good"

Justin Simmons being humble

congrats to the broncos for finally getting that monkey off their back and beating the chiefs.

I woke up happier today then when I woke up on Sunday.

a winning culture starts with winning with the players you have not the players you may get in the future.

33-8

Vance Joseph's defense gave up 1 td to the Chiefs in 2 games.

And forced 6 turnovers.

Edit: One was special teams, so 5.

Justin Simmons has picked Mahomes off 6 times in his career.

He only has 1 win against him but still.... 6 picks vs Mahomes is impressive.

We have actually historically played well against Mahomes. Just haven't beat him until last night, which is the only thing that matters.

VJ trying to prove us wrong. No TDs to KC is a big step in

What's that SPELL???????

Broke ass defensive coach!

 

[LGM]

Absolutely believe in this post. For the last two games all the past indicators that the Broncos are going to lose again have been broken. The Broncos are becoming winners right before our eyes.

Stop reading the 1 minute chart and zoom out. To disprove his two years here as well as his time in Arizona he's going to need more than beat two teams, with 2/3rds of those games being against bad/injured/sick quarterbacks.

Personal growth has been a hallmark of my enjoyment of your contributions here, but you don't believe it when others experience it.

We are going to need a prop bet on the time when the loud Plop sound comes from pulling your head out your butt.

Or the failed bidder soundbite from the Price is Right when your collective hopes are dashed because you tried to swing trade from the one-minute chart.

You need to step out of your Laker disappointment bubble and see the world clearly.

Just like the Broncos need to flip the losing culture in the locker room it looks like we need to flip the culture here in the forum. I don't know about you guys but when my team wins I am happy. Especially when we are only in week 9 and now sitting at 3-5 with signs of improvement. It doesn't mean we are going to the playoffs, the super bowl, anything like that but it does show that we have some stuff working in our favor for the first time in awhile. Continued improvement and and success are something to be happy about. Been enough negative energy with this team and fanbase for 7 years. Enjoy it! Continue to hope we continue to get better. Focus on positive things. We just beat the Chiefs...

My Blazers are in for a rough season as they rebuild but I love seeing the Kings and Nuggets do well.

Fox, Murray and Malik Monk on the Kings. Big fans. Iowa and Kentucky guys.

Always good to beat the Lakers.

For Portland, Shadedon Sharpe has given me reason to be happy. Scoot Henderson has had a rough first 3 games but I know he will be really good in time.
