Football 2009 Denver Broncos....the WORST 5-0 team in NFL history? - Page 4

Ouch....touchy subject. I never said they were bad....not like "us" bad. I just said out of the remaining undefeated teams, in my opinion, they're the worst one left. Sometimes it takes luck to win games.

Ohhhh, so that's what you were saying... I thought you were asking if they were simply the worst 5-0 team in NFL HISTORY... not of those remaining undefeated teams in 2009.

The thread title was just to reel you in

I'm sitting here bored at work...just figured I'd spark up a little banter.

it sickens me to say it but the Broncos have overcome extreme adversity in the off season and are playing very good football.
They traded off their star QB, got a QB in there that everybody thought would lay down and do nothing. I hate em and hope they lose every week but they are making the most out of the talent on their team, unlike 2 other teams I can think of.

My only hope is that they turn into the NY Jets of a couple of years ago and are a one year wonder.

I hate that the Chiefs are o-fer but to add red hot salt to the wound is Denver being undefeated.

Sometime we'll say anything to justify the

being good in our brains won't we.

This kind of petty jealousy really doesn't make you look good, you know that of course?

The '74 Patriots started 5-0 and ended 7-7. The '87 or '88 Chargers, forget which startrd out like that and ended up .500 I think. Denver is playing over their heads, but there have been worse.

There's no middle ground with you, is there? Either someone's gonna be challenging the Dolphins to go undefeated or they're this close to completely collapsing and ending up .500. Jesus Christ...

His point was that the Broncos AREN'T as bad as those teams. He was refuting the thread title, methinks.

It certainly helped that they started out the season against such lightweight competition. Sort of like Kansas's non-conference schedule.

The NFL is a weird deal... the Redskins haven't faced a team yet that has won 1 game, but that hasn't helped them at all.

Cincy, Dallas and NE (3 of the 5 opponents) have 4, 3 and 3 wins.
