56 days ago the Broncos lost to the Miami Dolphins by 50 points, one of the worst losses in NFL history that was very nearly statistically the worst loss in NFL history. After this loss falling to 0-3

21 days later, 2 weeks removed from their only win against the at the time winless Chicago Bears, they fell to 1-5, and looked ahead to a schedule of Green Bay, the Chiefs, the Buffalo Bills, and the Vikings

And just over a month from that date, the Broncos are now 5-5, 4-0 in their last four games. They do have a tough upcoming schedule in the Browns, Texans, Chargers, and Lions. But it is amazing how far their team has come and how the narrative has shifted from posts like this and this to the Broncos being a playoff contender that can shock anyone

    Sean Payton was not about to let his legacy get tarnished over Russ. So he sold his soul and made a deal to make it out of this season with some integrity

    Are you all gonna write those apology letters to Russ and Sean Payton now? Some of the things said about Russ were terrible last year. But everyone with common sense should have known you don’t go from HoF consideration to completely washed in one offseason. Which proves Payton was right about Hackett. And before you all say it was about saying it in public, I think he was trying to stand up for his team and QB. He basically said this squad isn’t trash, the coach was, and it’s gonna turn around this year now that Hackett is gone. And lookie here.

    I don’t think anybody has ever had a better turn around than Vance Joseph. The man was a laughing stock a month ago and he has turned this defense into one of the most lethal units in the nfl when it comes to turnovers. The broncos haven’t just beaten run of the mill teams they are beating legit playoff contenders. Hopium is high in broncos country

    I dread the hackett effect going forward for the jets… To think Arod wants him around for another year minimum

    I’m not drinking the orange Kool-aid yet but I can’t help but take a sip.

    I don’t think we’re making it to the playoffs, but I’m happy to see the team getting better. We went from a team that looked like the football version of The Washington Generals last year, to tripping over ourselves into losses in the first third of the season(*ignoring Miami), and now we’re winning close games. Hopefully we can continue this upward trend.
