Anyone think Denver is done for the year?
 

I think the Giants, Colts and Iggles will end thier playoff dreams.

KnowMo's face is spazzing as he types his response.....

I think the Chiefs are going to end their playoff dreams on Jan 3rd.

They're Done

Giants - LOSS
Chiefs - Probable LOSS
COLTS - LOSS
RAIDERS - WIN
Eagles - LOSS
Chiefs - Toss up

7-9 or 8-8. If they go 8-8 McDumbass and everyone that roots for pile high can say he still has never been apart of a losing team.

Kyle Orton and Chris Simms are who we thought they were. :)

I would love for KC to kick them in the balls but despite yesterday it's still not likely.

9-7/10-6. Possible but unlikely wildcard.

Stick a fork in Donxs butt...they all but done, fat lady is warming up.

I think its likely the Chiefs play them very tough at Arrowhead.

Could they still make the playoffs? Sure. Is it likely? Hell no.

At this point in the season I would say that the Steelers(even after yesterday's loss), Jaguars, Texans, Ravens and even Dolphins are all better teams than the Donkeys.

"Turn out the liiiiights, the party's ooover....."

They are finished for the year, at best they sneak in on a wildcard and get an embarrassing beatdown in the playoffs.

Too early to tell... there are 6 games left and anything can happen. This isn't a team that will go deep in the playoffs, but they can certainly win 3 or 4 of their final 6 games... they could easily lose 4 as well.

The game at Indy is the only one that I have no issues saying is a loss.

Giants, Raiders and Chiefs @ Denver... again, anything can happen and the Giants aren't exactly playing stellar football right now.

The Raiders have defeated Cincy and Philly now, proving again that anything can happen. Hell, KC could win at SD... likely won't happen, but who knows?

The games at Philly and KC will be tough for Denver, especially if they don't start playing better.... they're in a bad funk and they need to find a way to get out.

At this point, the playoffs are still wide open. Indy (at 10-0) is the only team with a death grip on their division lead.

NE, CIN and SD all have 7-3 records... Denver is 3-1 vs those teams as well. PIT / JAX / DEN are all 6-4 with the Texans having a shot to get to 6-4 tonight.

Let's say HOU wins... that still has Denver among the 7 best teams in the AFC. PIT may have serious QB issues that could cost them down the stretch, if Ben is out with a concussion, I haven't read any updates on him that say much just yet.

Playoffs have 4 division winners and 2 wild cards... right now, DEN is still only 1 game out of the AFCW lead. Anything can happen.

Six games is a lot of football at this point and while the 0-4 streak sucks, there's a lot that can change. Denver is 5-3 within the AFC and that would be the leading tiebreaker with teams like HOU, Jax, Miami.

They're not done ... but, they sure as hell need to change things this week with the Giants.

after starting 6-0 and then to lose 4 in a row... is awesome. Im a big fan of this.

To have them implode and to NOT make the playoffs would be glorious.

What is better than them imploding after coming in here and strutting their tailfeathers and boasting how awesome they are...

looks to me like the Chiefs are on the rise and the Donkos are on the demise.

BEST OFFSEASON EVAR!!!11

this with no doubt.

Denver has won 6 games in a row before. I don't see why they can't do it again or come close to it.

The Chiefs have won 9 games in a row before.

WE'RE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!

Your blind homerism continues to amaze me ROFL

Consistency.

maybe....

and then this:

at best they sneak in on a wildcard and get an embarrassing beatdown in the playoffs.

Baby steps... if they can get there, that's fine with me... if they lose, they lose. If they can advance, that shows they're improving... lots of teams advance and lose, only one team wins it all.

I think God played a cruel trick on KnowMo.

No, they're not done. They're still a potentially dangerous team. Even as much as I think KC has a chance against them I don't think any team wouldn't consider them a threat. It's a team that beat some pretty solid teams. Sure they lost to Washington, but KC barely won against the Skins.

Denver is as done as disco.

Because they are not a good team. The first streak was them playing well above their overall talent level. Something we did last game. But that only lasts for so long. Now their true colors are coming out.

Nah, they're not done yet. I tend to believe they will miss the playoffs, though. They really have to win the next 2 games against the Giants and at Arrowhead, which won't be easy, IMO. Losses to Pittsburgh and Baltimore will hurt them come tiebreaker time.

But don't mind me. I'm not a REAL FAN®.

DIE DIE DIE DIE...............DONKEY FAN. I HATE DENVER, I HATE COLORADO........AND I HATE YOUR ****ING TEAM.

Anyone think Denver is done for the year?
 

No, I'm fairly certain they will finish out their 16 game schedule. :D

I don't think Denver is going to sweep us. I think we win one of those games.

I wouldn't count them out just yet. But I will say, they're definately going to have their hands full in the coming weeks.

ROFL

It was the beginning of the season, and they caught teams off guard. Everyone has a blueprint on how to beat them now. They're finished.

ROFL

I said in another thread early on that once Denver loses thier lucky winning streak, they will go on a tremendous losing streak. I still see that happening.

This :)

The element of suprise is over. I have thought all year that the D would collapse, you can't be successful with a 3-4 with 3 no names on the Dline.

Yesterday was a weird game... Tolbert and Hester broke out a few large runs. The passing game didn't kill Denver's defense, but the ground game did just enough to break them at key moments. They converted enough first downs to maintain a strong TOP edge. It was 13-3 (I believe) when McD called for the onside kick early in the 3rd... that was a dumb call, I couldn't believe it and it was ultimately the back breaker. I think that did more to win the game for SD than the turnovers by Den in the redzone.

Denver had a few chances to get back the momentum, but it went dead after that missed onside kick... so silly.

Let the collapse continue, thought it would been sooner but better late than never.

I work with 3 Giants' fans... they're very familiar with the whole 0-4 run and getting over it in OT this weekend. Despite what has happened with Denver, they're not that terribly excited about the game in Denver this week.

Even the fork is getting cold.

Yep. They could easily lose their next 3.

Iggles, how witty!

yes, the donkey's are done. It's clear that the chargers will win the west. I actually love how the donkey's start 6-0 and all of their fans are full of hope and happiness and now they are sulking and crying. I love it!

ROFL Sulking and crying? Crazy...

Is the Mange down?

I just hope the last game of the season is for a playoff spot and we ruin it for them.

As long as we're talking going from a 5th to the last seed... I can deal with that request.

Denver is 6-4. If the Patriots played better, they'd be 5-5. If God didn't give the Broncos a miraculous gift in Week One, they'd be 4-6... one game better than the Chiefs, who definitely could've won another game or two this year if they'd played only a little better, putting them not at 3-7 but at, say, 5-5.

There's a fine line in the NFL between winning and losing. After blazing starts, the Broncos and Jets are finding that out now.

Romo playing like complete ass helped them too.

If, If if... you guys are funny sometimes.

If the Patriots played better, Denver would have lost... that's beautiful, so Denver did nothing to win that game... and then I see that someone else made a comment about the Cowboys.

Geez, they played well and won 6 games... they've played poorly and lost 4. You guys want to play the "if" game and find a scenario that has KC being better than Denver... that's fine, crazy... but fine. Teams win and lose and I'm not shocked with the inconsistency that Denver has shown, but to suggest they were just lucky to have 6 wins in the first place is a bit weird.

If Ben doesn't get crushed in the head, he keeps playing and they likely score the winning FG. If Oakland had started a different QB, they likely beat KC. It's a crazy li'l game some of you play that makes no sense.

It makes perfect sense to us cause it's all we have.

:) I hear ya...

My point, echoed by the "NFL Live" crew on ESPN this afternoon, is that some lucky bounces early on masked some decifiencies on Denver's team. And now that the bloom is off the rose, and teams have slowed down the Denver offense, it's not a question of the Broncos falling back on solid fundamentals, saying, "Okay, if we just get back to doing this and this better, we'll get back to winning." It was a bit of smoke-and-mirrors. And now the Broncos have fallen back to earth, and are almost .500, which is just about where people pegged them. Whereas the Chargers, a team everyone said had some solid talent, were able to rise past some early losses.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but scheduling is also key here if you are going to compare the Denver and SD. They have both lost to the Ravens, Steelers and each other. Denver has the additional loss to the Skins wrapped into the mix. They're still within reach of the division title and a playoff spot. It took SD 11 weeks to grab first place, much longer than everyone expected.

I never thought they were as great as everyone was saying at 6-0 and I fully expected losses, granted I didn't expect the WAS loss... and I always say that the AFCW teams are typically going to split.

I don't think this 0-4 stretch is an end of the world deal either. This isn't a team that is ready for playoff primetime, but they're still at the door and in line to get in if they can circle the wagons in a few key games - starting this week with the Giants.

The Giants aren't a top 10 team right now... they're not that much different from Denver and it took OT to overcome their own 4 game losing skid.

Defensively, there are some things they can start doing better - mainly stopping the run and getting pressure on QBs. They had a lot of great success against some really good teams during the first 6-8 weeks... they've been declining a bit, but defensively is where it all was at early on and that is the engine they need to crank back up right now.

Why do you keep giving us all this bulletin board material? :D

I guess with NYG, OAK and KC at home and at KC ... I have a pretty firm belief that they're not completely beneath the level of any of those teams, especially the three games in Denver. And, as far as bulletin board material... enh, you're a Chiefs' fan... c'mon. :)

I would be surprised if anyone DIDN'T think the Broncos were done for the year.

I don't think they are done for the year........They still have 6 games to CHOKE like the Buffalo Bills!!!!BWAAAAA HAAA HAA!!!!

It's called regression to the mean, and it's exactly what everybody was calling for after the Broncos lucked out to a 6-0 start. Even if they finish 9-7, that means that they went 3-7 down the stretch. If they want to make the playoffs, they'd better sweep the Chiefs.

Suffering 4 straight defeats, first of which coming out of your bye, by double digits doesn't say "playoff team"

ROFL Are you serious? Denver has already exceeded expectations by two games.
Stick a fork in them.

I thought they were gonna be shit from the very beginning. They won a fluke game with the tipped pass against Cincy.

Poor ST's coverage prevented the Chargers from winning that first game. But that's part of the game I understand.

My point is that DEN has greatly overachieved and gotten lucky at times this season and it's only a matter of time before they come back down to earth. They're going through a gauntlet of teams in their schedule right now, may lose the next 3 games as well.

So really if you took the Cincy game as a loss, the first SD game as a loss, they'd be 4-6 right now, just a game ahead of us, and we all know how DEN craps the bed in Arrowhead. Then theyre gonna play the Giants and Colts. I bet they finish with a losing record. Kyle "Pro Bowl" Orton sucks.

YEAH. And even Chokeland defeated Cincy.



;)

No I'm pretty sure they still have to play 6 more games.

If you want to take away Denver's 2 Special Teams TDs then you have to take away Sproles Special Teams TD too and Denver still wins that game.

Yeah but Denver sucks, they would have turned the ball over had they been on offense instead of taking one to the house.

I got a headache...

Sorry - it seems like typing "it's still far from over" wasn't getting the point across.

Exactly, I typed that a week ago during another one of the "if this or if that" hadn't happened threads about Denver and wins.

Are the Giants a playoff team? They had 4 straight losses, rebounded last week in OT to end their 4 game stretch and move up to 6-4 overall - tied with Denver. Let me guess... you're going to use "the last few years" defense. Ok, ok... I can use that as well with Denver, this isn't the same team from 2008 and prior. Yes, the losing streak sucks, but Denver has a great shot at beating the Giants.

Unfortunately, I'm going to be offline for the rest of the week... traveling up to Nebraska for Thanksgiving with my sister's family. I won't have much "net" time, so we'll holler back on Sunday.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone - be safe and enjoy the time with family and friends.

You too man. Enjoy it dude.

Frankly I'm still scratching my head as to why this topic is of any value to us Chiefs fans. As a Chiefs fan I would love to see Denver an elite team as long as we get to a point when we beat their tutus off every time we play them. We are down right now, but how Denver does (as long as they never go to the big dance) is not of much value to me. In fact as long as both teams are rebuilding I want them to do well enough that we pick ahead of them in the draft.

I never bought into the Denver hype, their schedule at the start was ridiculously easy. When the time came for them to step it up against talented teams, they faultered. I think this is definitely indicative of what was supposed to be a great season turned lackluster.

ROFLROFL

They beat the Chargers in SD... they beat the Cowboys... they beat the Patriots... say what you like, but they beat the Bengals. The Browns and Raiders were in the mix too.

Things have evened out a bit, but the Broncos and Chargers have played nearly the same schedule... the Chargers have played KC once (DEN hasn't yet) and the Raiders twice (only once for Denver). Denver played the Browns and Redskins... both teams lost to Baltimore, PIT and they split their 2 games.

Where was the ridiculously easy part for Denver early on?

And, your last comment... supposed to be a great season? Are you talking about prior to week 1 or after week 6?

I HATE DENVER

Big Boy, I could care less what you think -- You're not playing the game --

Shut down the running game, and let's see what the Broncos QB can do == sorry, I forgot his name........

Drive Safe!

I thought Denver was done before the year even started. They won more games to start the season than I thought they'd win in total. I don't think they'll finish better than 9-7, which won't win the division or net them a wildcard, but I've been wrong before.

:thumb: I remembering you saying that...

However, the drama off & on the sidelines is quite entertaining

They are a division rival. We suck so naturally I want them to suck. Misery loves company...
