The Colts are 13-0 for a reason, they're very damn good and the foundation of their team has been in place for a long time.
The Broncos lost to a Steelers team before they unraveled and lost to a good Ravens team in Baltimore. They split with a very good Chargers team and really only crapped the bed when they lost to the Redskins.
So, Denver has 5 losses...
Colts have 13 wins
Chargers have 10 wins
Ravens have 7 wins
Steelers now look bad at 6-7 and the Redskins are bad at 4-9
I'll take 8-5 with a chance of winning 10 overall, especially considering everything that happened from the firing of Shanahan to the suspension of Marshall. I do realize that KnoMo has gone off the deep end a lot, but I think the vast majority of Broncos' fans had pretty realistic expectations and most are very surprised and happy to see the team in the position to reach 10 wins and the playoffs.
If Denver advances and wins a game in the playoffs - fantastic! If they lose a game, so be it.... continued improvement is all I've asked for and I think I'm seeing it. The team will have a TON of player decisions and new contracts to focus on before 2010, so it will be interesting, but the foundation appears to be in place and I like the direction.
Hell, I would love a scenario that sends Denver to NE for the wildcard game...
