Denver Broncos: Week 14 in Review

by Leave a Comment

New York Jets 0 – 23 Denver Broncos

There is a great quote in the classic rockumentary “Spinal Tap” – It’s such a fine line between stupid and clever
While not changing a huge amount the Broncos halted an eight game losing streak with a shutout of the Jets, a fine line indeed.

The defence was still good, the special teams played a tidy game and a few of the errors that had derailed the offence were turned into positive plays.
That was it, but it produced a night and day difference in attitude and confidence.

This has been a hell of a season as a Broncos fan. It’s gone from hoping to win every game, to hoping not to lose too badly, to hiding behind your hands praying that the team will somehow manage not to be so terrible that you question why you watch this stupid sport.

Well, from that perpsective this was a doozy; two – yes two – safeties, a pick six, a blocked punt, an onside kick recovery by the Dolphins, plus the sight of an ex-Broncos player humping the football in celebration.

We caught up with Paul Thomas from Broncos Europe to find out their feelings on how the 2017 season has gone so far, and how, after such a strong start they have ended up where they are..

Initial expectations

On the 5280 Podcast during training camp and preseason, we had talking heads from Denver’s sports media predict everything between 6-10 and 10-6. Some had us as playoff contenders, others had us missing out altogether.

The spectrum showed that, as talented as this team is on paper, the only consensus was that we didn’t know what this team would be capable of with a new coaching staff, and the strongest strength of schedule in 2017. Being optimistic, we settled on 10-6, which would have been an improvement on 2016, and a return to playoff contention.
