Since everyone likes to predict doom and gloom when it comes to the Denver Broncos, let’s change it up a skosh.
What if, for some strange, ungodly reason, the Broncos offense actually looks like an offense on Sunday?
What if, lightning gets stuck in a bottle and you find a needle in a haystack the size of Mount Everest, Peyton Manning throws for over 400 yards and four touchdowns? Or Ronnie Hillman runs for over 200 yards rushing?
Yes, yes, that will never happen because the Denver offense is garbage and Manning is finished. The only way predictions of the future work is if the sky is falling and there’s no hope.
Yet for some strange reason the Broncos are still 6-0.
Wait for it, wait for it …
But that ends on Sunday against the far superior Green Bay Packers, who are more balanced on offense, have a better defense and Aaron Rodgers. Plus, they’re the Packers.
Denver cannot continue to win games like they have, so is the popular notion right now among the “experts” and “true fans.” Yet for some strange reason they have won six. So strange.
Wait for it, wait for it …
The Broncos have no shot against the New England Patriots, Cincinnati Bengals or even the Indianapolis Colts. Denver has no chance in the playoffs.
Again, the key to any prediction of the future when it involves the Broncos is to crank up the hyperbole and negativity. The only team that doesn’t work for is that team in New England … and Kansas City. When it involves the Broncos? “How are they even allowed to play in the NFL?”
As noted earlier, what if Denver comes out and sets the November night on fire? What if Manning ditches the Kyle Orton impression and more resembles Manning? The offensive line actually looks and plays like professionals? There is symmetry between the offense and defense. Where one doesn’t have to bail out the other.
What if the Broncos don’t have to win going out “kicking and screaming?”
These aren’t bold predictions. In fact, they aren’t predictions at all. Since Broncos Country is blanketed in nothing but negativity for a team that is 6-0, how about a heavy dose of positive juice? There’s no doubt some will say that’s just not realistic. “Open your eyes.”
It’s just as realistic as the constant hell is freezing over, this Broncos team is the worst 6-0 team ever (what does that even mean?) and you can rule out the Super Bowl.
If people have that much talent, why are they wasting it predicting games on social media? Why aren’t they doing it in Las Vegas? Why not use that special talent to solve life’s problems and save the planet?
Because it’s hogwash.
They have no more ability to predict the future than Miss Cleo.
So instead of the negative nonsense, have a little faith. Allow yourself to actually think, “What if the Broncos play a complete game coming out of their bye? What if they use the emotion of that night to their advantage?”
Enough with the doom and gloom.
After all, this team is 6-0.
As Manning said on Wednesday, “As the great Ebby Calvin ‘Nook’ LaLoosh said in Bull Durham, ‘I sure like winning. It’s, like, better than losing.'”
