I've been out for most of the last 4 days celebrating my 1 year anniversary with Mrs. Mile High Mania (actually, she's not totally converted to the NFL religion, but I'm trying) and I've read a lot of stuff concerning Denver.
I didn't get to watch the game b/c I was driving, but I did listen to most of it on the AM dial as I drove home yesterday.
Denver is 3-3. They're still in the chase for the division title. I think this is a great achievement b/c this is a team still searching for their post-Elway identity. Griese is playing pretty well and I think he will be a solid QB in the NFL and I think he will give Denver many great memories.
However, I realize that Denver won't win any superbowls any time soon. They can still win the West and I'd bet most of you guys would be happy with that for KC as well. If KC does win the AFC West though, I hope they try and win a playoff game too.
Denver beat a horrible San Diego team. Yes, Harbaugh gave them 'gifts' with the INTs, but doesn't that mean the Broncos' defense was doing their job? I mean, when Hasty or one of the rookies snags an INT, then it's that ferocious KC defense. If it's Denver, then they're gifts. Kinda odd. Didn't the Rams let San Diego put up 30+ points? Ok, so Denver's defense sucks, but maybe not as bad as the Rams.
Anywho, I realize that most of the things said about Denver are direct responses to some jacka$$ making a fool of himself, so I know where you're coming from. Trust me.
I think the division is definitely a 3-team race. Should be a fun season!
