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.
