    After further contemplation, I still can't decide. I still say BOTH!

    In '97, the Broncos were still a relatively young team, but I don't buy that GB would have simply beat us. I do think a year to think about the JAX loss helped though.

    I wonder if we won in 2013 if Manning would have retired after that. Another B2B SB win would have been sweet.

    The other consideration is Mr. B would have enjoyed '97, while in '13 (and SB50) he was already "gone".

    Great question, with no real correct answer.

    My gut says 97.

    My heart says 97.

    jags game. . .


    gotta roll with the duke over manning. . .
    “When we do find that guy, we’ve got to have the continuity on the offensive side to where we can train him and develop him and get him there. This is our fourth offense in probably three or four years. Quarterbacks need to be developed. You don’t find one ready-made. We got to have a solid system in place for when we do go after whatever guy it may be, a young guy or a trade or whatnot.”

    Thinking the same thing Joe. We really had a chance at that time. Plus I was at that game and I had a sick feeling in my stomach and at the end I knew why. I was working out of town for 2013 and didn't freeze to death to see that horrible end.

    I'm still voting 2005. We still would have had an uphill climb against GB in 97 and NE in 13. 05 would have just put us against that garbage Seattle team. We had the title on a silver platter that year once Indy lost.

    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.
