The Official "We Haven't Accomplished Anything Yet" Thread
We're flying high right now.
It's a blast to watch Peyton Manning orchestrate this offense.
Trindon Holliday is electric.
We have another group of Three Amigos... No, not the receiving corps, but our stable of running backs playing rock, paper, scissors to see who will score next.
The receivers defy description.
And the defense. . . Missing two legitimate pro-bowlers, and still wreaking havoc.
It's even more amazing if you factor in where the Broncos were just three short years ago. It was the depths of Hell. The worst stretch in forty years. Losing 17 of 22 games after that smoke and mirrors 6 game winning streak.
But we haven't reached the mountain top yet. No, we haven't even established base camp for a summit attempt. The promised land is still just a promise, although it seems we might be on the verge of escaping the wilderness.
In the past 31 years, the top scoring offense only advanced to the Super Bowl 14 times. . . Less than half.
Only 5 times in the last 15. . .it would seem that having a high flying offense means less and less as it applies to Championships.
Championships? Winning the whole enchilada? The top scoring offense has only done it 7 times in the last 31 years, twice in the last 15, (thrice if we extend it one more year and include Mr. Elway's Broncos from 1996). Let that paragraph sink in.
It's going to take a lot more than just a high flying offense. We have some great pieces to complement this offense, but will it all come together to get us to a Super Bowl, and deliver a victory in the dead of a New Jersey winter? I worry about a group built on a high velocity passing attack having to deliver a victory in a windy stadium in February. It's less than ideal.
There are a lot of questions to be answered, and thankfully a lot of time left to answer them. We haven't accomplished anything yet.
