    I may just be a fan, but it's hard to be excited about exceeded expectations when the expectation was bottom of the league.

    The broncos.have played some.very tough games thus far and.came out 6-2, I doubt the team implodes but we won't make any noise in the playoffs unless we get our offense together.

    Yeah I'm still thinking we can get to 10 or 11 wins but I agree we probably won't make much noise in the playoffs. Last year was a magical year where everything came together at the right time but that's hard to repeat.

Otherwise, the Broncos have been playing their brand of football, which is dominant defense and mostly mistake free offense.
    Mostly mistake free only because the opposing defenses have dropped like 5 picks, many of which would have likely gone the distance.

    Happens to every qb, every year. Just like the pick six on Sunday should have been caught by Norwood.

The down fall of Broncosfreak is that the mods would back down when they were being accused of being Nazis for trying to enforce the CoC. I give him an A+ if the mods were more strict in their enforcement, but that's why nobody here would ever want me to be a mod

    Not surprising that fans are butt hurt over something, we just don't like how this team is built.

    Would you say that it's over inflated?

    Actually, I say that our fan base has higher expectations then the Cleveland Browns'. We want SB wins, but this team's O doesn't look like it has the ability to deliver. Then again, I said the same thing about last year. I'm definitely enjoying our success, but if you want my assessment of this team, I'll be comparing it to the 3 teams I cheered on to SB victories.

    Last years team is a good comparison, but like you said, even last years edition wasn't good enough for fans.

    Not good enough to win the SB doesn't = not good enough for me. I still showed up in Broncos' colors to root for them in the AFCCG, that I expected them to lose, as well as the SB. I've been rooting for them this entire season, even though my pre-season expectations were such that I was hoping that we would just finish with a winning record.

    Maybe an extremely small minority of fans. I think the overwhelming majority were pretty pleased with how it turned out.

    Happy with the way it turned out is a given, the journey there is what I was referring to.
