At least, I can lower my expectations of the Broncos before the playoffs. It is easier to go into them thinking, well, we got a chance, rather than thinking anything, but a ring is a failure (like every Coloradan was thinking last year). The broncos special team defense was a joke and so was the running game defense. They also were forced to do nothing, but throw the ball to catch up, which rarely spells success.
And, rol, the thread title is legitimately funny.
