You mean the year when Denver was better than 31 other teams?

Actually, I was thinking about 2012 with the ravens, sorry... the playoffs were in 2013...Brain got temporarily confused...
Regardless. I don't care how many teams we were better than. Losing in that way, knowing we'd have very likely won it all...it blows... I'd rather erase that entire year from my mind.

There is no way in the world i would trade a Top 10 Draft pick and an awful Season than to reach the Playoffs as a Division Champion and lose disgracefully at home, to a lowly road team (MAKE MLNO MISTAKE, TENN IS GETTING SMASHED IN NE) when all is ahead. Teams never recover from those kind of losses. KC had their time and whiffed.Huh?
That and the Moore game basically are my point. I'd rather have those games than be going 5-11 in those years and not be there.
Unless someone didn't experience the Jax loss, that was an even worse feeling to me than getting destrpyed by SF in the Super Bowl.
Make no mistakes, Broncos need that high Draft pick Mo.

I just want the draft. I don't know if I'm a glutton for punishment or excited they may actually hit it right.

I would rather be picking at 22 or 24 and make the playoffs than be picking at 5. The goal isn't to lose so you can avoid a playoff loss. The goal is to win so that you can have a chance at a title. If it takes a few playoff debacles, so be it. **** playing for draft picks. You don't go into a season aiming for a top 5 pick. It's not the NBA.

Did i say that? No. You compared Draft status for previous seasons to gut wrenching playoff losses. Therefore, if you didn't experience Jax in 96, don't say that, because you may feel different Capt. Contrary.I would rather be picking at 22 or 24 and make the playoffs than be picking at 5. The goal isn't to lose so you can avoid a playoff loss.

I'm in my late 30s. I experienced that loss. I remember it vividly. I will take going to the playoffs and losing over not going to the playoffs. Period. There is no contradiction here.

I'm 40 and I was in the Marine Corps and stationed in Okinawa at the time. If MO is late 30s he would've been somewhere between 16-20 at the time of that game.

I was 21 at the time. That loss effing sucked. BUT at least we had a ******* season and something to look forward to. Now, we suck and I don't know if there is much to look forward to with all of our issues.
This year feels worse, but in a different way. At least that season was exciting up until the very end. This season was over week 5 and the promise of the future looks ******* bleak.

There are bright spots. Easier schedule, for one, not the murderers row we used to seeing. And new QB... Post Manning. The Colts had the benefit of the high draft pick to replace PM. Now, Denver has their high pick to select an heir. Lets hope Elway doesn't **** that up and Kubiak helps in this Draft. Because a **** on their next QB could be a 5 year setback.I was 21 at the time.

My wife and I were talking about that game the other night.
That was the last game I was actually mad for a couple of days after.
We had a bunch of people over to watch the game and have supper and I was in a foul mood the whole evening.
Almost unapproachable.
Haven't done that since.
