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.

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.
