But, they are better than the Broncos right now.

We have a winner in the "most delusional" contest. Ouch. "The following users high fived BroncoJoe for this post: "Valar Morghulis, Ziggy" -- honorable mention to them.

I feel pretty vindicated by this prediction:

Cugel: Basically this.

I think however, that there's no point in being pessimistic at this point in the pre-season. You know fans are going to be buzzing around like a swarm of angry bees after someone hit their nest - after a couple of losses in which Trevor does not play like Aaron Rogers.

So, there's no point worrying about it now.

Right now, I saw some signs of improvement in the run game. The run defense should be better based on the personnel they've acquired, although if they keep suffering injuries to their front 7 that's problematic.

Garrett Bolles, much against most expert NFL commentary, looks to be solid at the LT spot. For now. Right tackle seems more of a problem than left. They have a glut of good running backs, although no star RB like Dallas' Elliot. So much so that it's conceivable that Jamal Charles might not make the 53 man roster (although I think he will).

As for the passing game, we've gone round and round on Trevor and Paxton. No point rehashing that.

The biggest question is whether the pass defense will hold up. Right now every pass-rushing threat outside of Von Miller has been negated. They lost Malik Jackson as a penetrating DE pressure player and never replaced him. DeMarcus Ware retired. They tried to sign Calais Campbell during the offseason but failed. And Shane Ray and Shaqil Barrett have varying injuries. Right now the Broncos pass-rush is Von, and teams will double or triple team him every play until Denver proves they have a serious pass-rushing threat on the other side of the line.

Isn't that pretty much what happened? In 2016 the defense carried the team to 9 wins despite bad QB play from Trevor. This year they got more bad QB play from Trevor, but the defense got tired and gave up. Von has 9 sacks, nobody else has more than 4 and they double and triple team him on every play. Nobody else has stepped up.

Get thee behind me, Satan! I'd frankly want to Black Hole every Bronco thread since the Bye as well. I want the entire 2017 season to disappear into the memory hole. Gone from man's memory, lost forever

Wait, we had a football season this year? I thought there was a lockout or something. Interesting

Good morning, UR.
