The homers on the Huddle laughed when we said it was fool’s gold and that the turnover margins weren’t sustainable. I think reality finally sunk in over the weekend. That’s what happens when Denver faces a decent team that doesn’t shit the bed continually.

Tater is adding a 12th bathroom to his mansion to honor Bronco fans. Whether it won't flush and be incomplete is still open

Its the truth. They can't win unless they win the turnover ratio. If they play straight up, they lose. That kind of "winning" runs its course. Fools gold is exactly what it is.

As a fan, it’s definitely the hope that kills you. But I’ll take the giant step forward we made this year. We’re getting rid of the loser’s mentality that has settled in.

But you will still be saddled with an expensive and aging QB with little prospects of snagging one of the top ones in the draft.

And you missed out on a golden opportunity to draft your QBOTF because of it. Hope it was worth "getting rid of the loser's mentality"!

You gave up in Miami and Detroit...that's a loser mentality if I've ever seen one. The whole winning streak was Herm RRPP gaining minimal yardage and pray you get turnovers. Once the turnovers dried up, you got blown out

I went back and forth with that. We were never going to lose 13 or 14 games. The bottom line is that I will take winning. There are no guarantees, even when there seem to be guarantees. How many titles was Andrew Luck going to win? Right now, I would put money on Brock Purdy hoisting a Lombardi in a couple months. Brock Purdy. It's crazy. Even Mahomes (who I totally covet) has looked mortal without the same level of talent around him that he's used to.

Is Caleb Williams going to be that guy? Drake Maye? It's a crapshoot.

Yeah, and last year, we lose at least three or four of the seven games we've won. It's a process. Coaching matters.

Well you don't really have the luxury to ask that question anymore, so what's next champ?

Good point. It's vital that your idiot GM draft more CBs in the top 10 if the Broncos want to ever win another SB.

You look like the same team as last year other than the stretch of fluke turnovers

Payton has done his best to hide the issues with Wilson, but the power of suck is strong with that one. I’ve been curious to see what Stidham would do, just for giggles. I know he’s a backup.
