Broncos news megathread

[ROYC75]

Discussion: All things Broncos.

[jjchieffan]

I didn't misquote you at all. In your post, you showed the history of both teams going back to 1960, then had the audacity to claim dominance in 32 of 42 seasons. SMH. 42 seasons takes out actually history that doesn't support your ridiculous argument. I just pointed that out. From your own words!

Because you have ZERO proof that the Bills got screwed.

1) Kincaid was down by by contact when his left elbow hit the ground on that 3rd down play & the ball was short of the line of gain at that point. There are still images & videos that prove it.

2) On the 4th down play the overhead camera view shows that Josh Allen is moving SIDEWAYS (ball carrier must be moving forward to some degree for forward progress to count) & when he gets stopped in earnest and the whistle blows, the ball ISN'T at the line of gain to pick up the 1st down.

How does that contrast to the phantom holding call on the successful FG by Stoyanovich & the BLATANT incorrect call on the Tony G. force-out in that '97 playoff debacle that shaved Chiefs points off of the scoreboard?

I'll let others be the judge of that, because you've certainly proven that you don't have any sound judgement.

Mods we should Romper this shit before the Super Bowl. I dislike seeing anything Bronco on the 1st page of CP while the Chiefs are on the doorstep of NFL history.

Might not have been

No, something's wrong there. I don't get what you're saying ...

The Chiefs dominated from 1960 to 73. Then the Broncos dominated until 2016. If you disagree with that, fine. Make your case ... (isn't that kind of why most of us are here anyway?)

That is a long time, but Broncos posted the better record 32 years to the Chiefs' 8 (two seasons tied). We won the H2H, and really really clobbered your postseason (to the extent you had one).

AND I SUGGESTED there was a 4-year run where KC finished with the better record 4 years in a row, 1992 to 95. Maybe we can cutout that portion.

I'll do it just for you:

BRONCOS-CHIEFS RIVALRY
1960-73 - Texans/Chiefs dominate
1974-91 - Broncos dominate
1992-95 - Chiefs dominate
1996-16 - Broncos dominate
2017-now - Chiefs dominate

Not sure what Romper means, but I agree...

I'll leave voluntarily after one more post about Elway.

It's time-sensitive.

[jjchieffan]

Elway was way overrated. No way that he belongs in the hall of fame. His GM career was even worse. If not more Manning and HGH, he would have never had a winning season.



Did I get it in on time?

1960-1973 counts whether you want it to or not. So just stop with the 8 years bullshit!

I worked in Broncos Media Relations a couple years, and KOA Radio after that. I'm glad you liked the competition, but the consensus of those who were there was a little different. Chiefs had a guy named Jim Carr - I think Carr in media relations. He wasn't there, too young, but he told some funny stories ... good stories, not sad ones, just VERY different than the modern NFL.

And yes, Wismer basically went broke waiting for Shea Stadium to open. But Sonny Werblin had plenty'o'cash ...

And what on God's green earth makes you think you can just "look up" whether the Broncos ownership was fiscally healthy or not? Geez, dempsey ... get real. Besides, your own Lamar Hunt confirmed that for me in his book. He'd confirm it for you too if you read it. Lamar Hunt was a great man, and it was a miracle Gerry and Allan Phipps nursed this franchise all the way to merger.

I wonder dempsey, if we weren't dirt poor, would we have an assistant coach, who retired as a player 7 years earlier, suit up at halftime of Week 1, Year 1 because our quarterback sucked? He quarterbacked us for three years. He's all we could afford. And if we weren't dirt poor, would we have bought USED UNIFORMS?! Ugly ones too .....
. .

Oh well ... from the poorest team in football to the richest team in football. Took just 63 years it's 😁

(Guess who the second richest team is? Go ahead, guess?)

[RealSNR]

Both franchises started in the same year. Which one has won more total games?

That's the Chiefs.

Which one has more wins against the other? That's also the Chiefs.

More division titles? Playoff wins? Chiefs.

Super Bowls? ****ing guess.

But good luck to those that do.

There's nothing to debate.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!

ITS RIGHT THERE!!!, I'M COUNTING IT!!!!

________________________

One day about three-four weeks ago, this entire room went attack-dog on Elway, for maybe an hour. The hostility was really meant for me, John was just a proxy for it.

I've been meaning to post these points just to make them clear and because one of them is time-sensitive:

WHEN JOHN ELWAY RETIRED:

1. He had won more games than any quarterback ever
2. He was one of just two QBs to pass for 50,000 career yards (Marino)
3. He was one of just two QBs to throw 300 career TD Passes (Marino)
4. He had started a record FIVE Super Bowls

I'll let you figure out which one is time-sensitive.


BEFORE I GO, EVERYBODY!
I WANNA TAKE A VOTE WHETHER
I SHOULD STAY OR GO ......


just kidding! 😂

Hey, good luck, I hope you win, really

None of your stupid blather refutes anything or proves that the Donkeys were the poorest franchise in the AFL from 1960 - 1964 before the $36 mill. TV deal was signed with NBC.

And Frank Tripuka was 33 in 1960, not 37, like you said earlier and all the AFL teams got their QB's in 1960 as FA's.

I suggest you try reading a book called "Sunday's Fools" by Tom Beer, who played TE for the Donks from 1967 -- 1969 and he suggests that the Donks woes during the AFL days were mainly due to stupid personnel decisions made by the Donks coaches & front office and never suggests anything about the Donks being cash-strapped. Beer himself, as a 2nd round pick, signed a 3-yr 92,000 deal after he was drafted in 1967.
