Football 2009 Denver Broncos....the WORST 5-0 team in NFL history?

arrowheadnation · 10-12-2009, 11:21 AM

Ok...so they're probably not the worst in history, but I'd call them the worst undefeated team left this season. There are a lot of 1 loss teams I'd take over them. They have 2 legit wins against horrible opponents and their other 3 are come from behind luck-outs. This is just my opinion, but I doubt I'm in the minority.

I'd trade places with them in a heartbeat. I'd much rather be the worst 5-0 team, than possibly the worst 0-5 team.

I think their defense has been pretty solid, and their offense is ok. I think it will get better with marshall out there more now.

I still think they should be a 3-2 type of team, but they are 5-0 can't take that away

King_Chief_Fan · 10-12-2009, 11:25 AM

I think they are better than we want to believe. 5-0 isn't easy for an average team and good teams know how to win in the 4th quarter. I don't think they are as good as Minnesota...but they have proven so far to be pretty good.

Yeah, I make fun of them constantly. Poseurs.

**Bwana** · 10-12-2009, 11:27 AM

I just can't bring myself to throw any smack, considering we are 0-5. That would be about like Michael Spinks getting up and calling Mike Tyson a pussy back in the day, after getting knocked out in the first round.

**DaFace** · 10-12-2009, 11:27 AM

The first game was a fluky win, but aside from that, they've legitimately been playing well. I've watched every game with my in-laws, and I hate to tell you - they are likely going to make the playoffs and might even win a game or two.

Yes.

Call it whatever you need in order to numb the pain...

The Colts are 5-0 and they have the great Peyton Manning, but none of their 5 wins are against a team with a record better than .500 - yep, that's right they haven't beaten a team with more than 2 wins through 5 weeks. They've dominated the spare teams... good for them.

Denver is still in their learning curve and they've played well enough to beat the teams they were supposed to beat and they knocked off a struggling Dallas team and the Patriots.

They dominated the Patriots in nearly every category except for the turnover battle and won.

They shut out Dallas and the Patriots in the 3rd and 4th Quarters... they're not doing much to defeat themselves right now and that's good.

Are they legit contenders to win the division? Yes, because SD has struggled and they have a nice advantage at this point.

Are they legit contenders to win the AFC? Not yet... they have a long road.

The 2009 Chargers are about to become the greatest 2-3 team of all time.

I think your opinion is based in emotion and not fact.

Denver is a very good football team. A YOUNG football team.

It's quite obvious that they're going to be good for a very, very long time.

They win games. Unlike the Chiefs.

**kysirsoze** · 10-12-2009, 11:32 AM

They remind me of the Chiefs when we went 9-0 before limping into the playoffs and losing. They even got their first win under freakish circumstances. They got a Sports Illustrated cover like us, too. (only took them 4 wins, though)
