OL has been a convenient excuse for the fact that he's on track to be the most-sacked QB in NFL history. He's equally responsible. And Denver fans have always overrated their receiver corps. They have no one that compares to Metcalf or Lockett.

And defensively, it's hard to imagine they won't take a step back without Fangio. Guy may be a goof, but he's a damn good defensive coordinator and playcaller.

Then, of course, comes the little problem of being in the most loaded division in football. They could be substantially better than last year and STILL finish last.

And they will.
