Thread: Your Darkest Moment of Broncos Fandom

At least the other 6 seasons most rational people realized that we were going into the year with subpar QB play and going to a super bowl probably wasn't very much on the table. It felt on the table going into last year and to have the rug pulled out from under us sucked.

That's why I'm not letting myself get overly hyped about SP. I don't want to be hurt like that again!

Show us on the doll?

It's the booty. That's where the hurt is. The butt. Buttocks. The turd cutter. The yams. Dem cheeks.

I honestly believe we could have three-peated the SB if we had won that game.
It would have just been a wake up call.
Has anyone ever three-peated a SB?

The Baltimore loss in 2012 was my darkest moment as a fan. The refs took that game away from the Broncos.

Another moment that stands out is 1984, when the 13-3 Broncos lost to an average 9-7 Steeler team with Turkey Malone at QB and Walter "I fall down when I go around end" Abercrombie at RB. The Broncos had a much better chance against Marino than the Steelers had. And, if they got by the Dolphins, they would have played the 49ers much tougher because Joe Collier played the right scheme against them: Rush 3, drop eight (in tight man and under zone, I presume), and rotate the defensive linemen to keep them fresh.

The Broncos went 3-0 in the 80's against SF with Collier as DC. However, in SB 24, they had Wade Phillips. He was great, but the defense he ran was not what you should run against a WCO:

In practice before that SB, Elway and Kubiak were playing the scout team QB, and they would throw the default route (the post) against Wade's static 3-4 with two wide safeties. Elway knew that because he ran the WCO in college. However, Charlie Waters wouldn't listen to him when Elway would try to point that out.

Not true. Tebow was great as a power runner. Guy punished defenders and was instrumental in the running game. Can you function as a franchise over a season period of time with him as your QB? No.

Even over a decade later, 2011 is a season I reflect back on as one of my all time favorites. It is a reminder that any time a team takes the field, that they have an opportunity to achieve victory. The game is played on the field, not in the press and not by talking heads opinions.

This feels really aggressive. I think we might need a timeout to talk about our feelings.

That's the day I officially became a Bronco fan. As a kid, I liked both teams. I had gear for both. I was a giddy little kid before the game started waving felt pennants for both teams. By the end of the night, I was sad. Thought I liked them equally. Apparently not.

Yeah, no. He sucked.

Taysom Hill sucks, and Tebow was even worse.

within the last 15 years.......2009 with MCD and the spy gate shit against SF in London. I was at the game and the stigma plus the loss was shitty to deal with as a fan, not to mention stupid ass Orton. The playoff loss to the ravens in 2012 was tough as well, but I went snowboarding at breck next day so I moved past it pretty fast lol. Then the Flacco year OMFG....Douche bag mediocre Qb being peddled as the answer in Denver, GTHO so dumb. This year was probably the lowest though in the last 15 years because we haven't seen such inept coaching in Denver since MCD. Some of us were grounded and expected to only be competing for a wild card or simply above .500 record if everything went right, but No one expected this ineptitude on this scale.
