It's time to quit talking shit. I don't like it any more than any of you but Denver is for real. They could compete for the Super Bowl this year.

I think that's a stretch, but not by much. I know there's a whole chicken and egg effect when it comes to discussions like this, but neither New England nor Dallas looks like a legit contender this year. I still think Denver will struggle against teams like the Giants and Colts. I predict Denver makes the playoffs, but loses their first game. But, you never know when they might get a couple of lucky bounces, so their making it to the big game isn't out of the realm of possibility.
I'm more worried about their long-term prospects honestly. They're young and improving. They could be scary in the next 5 years. Dammit.
