1996 Broncos and 2012 Broncos were both legit powerhouse teams. I think 96 GB was even better, but '96 Denver was damned good. Both '96 and 2012 teams were complete teams that had HOF caliber QB's, who could beat anybody on a given day; in 2005 we were saddled with a slightly sub-par QB who could have actually lost to a weak Seattle club IMO. The fact that '05 lost to Pittsburgh chaps my ass, especially as I hate Pittsburgh almost as much as I hate Oakland, but the '05 team wasn't really all that legit if we are being totally honest. Them losing was not an insult to the Cosmic order of all that is right and proper the way the losses by the '96 and '12 teams were.
