The waves of rushers we could throw at people made us dangerous. If you take away the frontline guys, it's not going to be the same. Especially with Browning playing the position for the first time and Bonitto being a rookie.
The plus side with all of these injuries is our young guys got a shit ton of reps and will be better for it next year.

KC's was the only elite offense Denver faced all year. I'd say that was a big factor in their stats, especially early on. Denver's D built their reputation by containing bottom 10 offenses.
Gregory can't be relied upon to play more than a handful of games per year. Which the savvy general should have considered before signing him. Probably not the wisest move to make him one of your 5 highest-paid players.
It's hard to imagine that you could still be in full support of Paton. Did it impress you
that much that he found a solid corner with the 9th pick? Historically, he only had about a 90% chance of doing so.
