Yes. Some people in Denver still think it could happen. And if they manage somehow to beat the Bengals today, a team that is also awful and floundering, it’s going to get worse. Either way, sports talk radio will be unbearable.
Look, I love my team. I’ve been there since 1986 for all the ups and downs. I’ve only ever been to a couple games in person. One was Super Bowl XXXII (awesome), and another was the 59-14 beatdown by the Raiders, at home. We stayed for the entire damn game. I’ve seen the extremes, and everything in between. This year is definitely one of the downs. I remember the 1990 season which was their last 6-game losing streak (if I’m not mistaken). For them to have a realistic shot at the playoffs, they’ll have to win all 7 of their remaining games. (I’m thinking 9-7 isn’t going to get it done since every other team in the AFC West is still alive.) THEY COULDN’T BEAT THE GIANTS. AT HOME. In 1990 when they broke the last 6-game losing streak, there were only 3 games left and they couldn’t win out then. “BUT ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN BLAH BLAH TEBOW BLAH BLAH!” Sure. Or it could be like the Cutler years. 9-7 & almost. That’s way more likely. Oh, well. If the Broncos can’t be in the mix, here’s hoping for a Jags-Lions Super Bowl. Or Jags-Vikings. OOH, or the Rams! It’ll be like when the Marlins won the World Series, no one in their home city cared! BURN IT DOWN! /bitter
Today in my area, CBS has the Chiefs at the Giants in the early game. C’mon Giants, if you’re gonna beat the Broncos, at least knock off the Chiefs and Raiders for us. Misery loves company. Late game is the Bengals-Broncos naturally. I’m not willing to pick a winner. Calling either of those teams a winner after the game seems like misuse of the word ‘winner’. On Fox, it’s Los Angeles at Minnesota. At the start of the season, who would have looked at this game on the schedule and thought it would be a big game? I kinda want to pick the Vikings, but the Rams will probably win. Sunday Night is Eagles-Cowboys, and Monday is Falcons at what’s left of the Seahawks.
The rest of the schedule: Lions at Bears, Jags at Browns, Ravens at Packers, Bucs at Dolphins in the Bye Week Bowl, Redskins at Saints, Cards at Texans, Bills at Chargers (AFC games on FOX make me feel weird), and Pats at Raiders in Mexico (I’m rooting for the meteor!). Colts, Jets, Niners, and Panthers are on recess.
So, if you’re bitter about your team’s season like I am, let your misery flow in the comments. And if your team is doing well, feel free to rub it in. And then go cram it up your dumper. :)

Well, the Redblacks lost, so now I hope the Roughriders beat the Argos. Grey Cup is next weekend, so hopefully the Roughriders make it there!

Pats are gonna slap down the Raiders, I’m not too worried about that, and will probably passively watch while folding laundry. I think the Raiders are just not together as a team, and playing in Mexico 7000 feet up is going to blowup the cracks in their foundation.
The game I’m actually concerned with is Bills and Chargers. After what happened to Tyrod, and the mini losing streak they’re on, I expect the other 43 Bills playing today to mail it in. And they should. The staff and front office are clueless, so why lay anything on the line for those with pencils rather than pads that don’t seem to care? Have at it, Marmalard.
Also, if the Broncs lose to the Bengals, I think you should have to give them Miller in exchange for Berfict. It’s the world’s worst game of Old Maid.

“The Attrition Bowl” sounds appropriate. At least you guys know who your QB will be next year, ours is probably not even on the roster.

No thanks, Von doesn’t get tossed out of games.
The Raiders are uneven, but sometimes they win when they shouldn’t. I expect the Pats to win, but it might be high scoring.

Meanwhile, Broncos are losing to the Bengals. The Bengals, who ran back a Brock Osweiler pick 100 yards but fumbled just before the end zone without any contact. And who missed the extra point when they finally scored. That’s who they are losing to.

oh wait

Well, they’ve already lost a game to a team coached by this man:

Loving what’s happening to the Bills. Lets bench a reasonable starting QB and replace him with a 5th round rookie who showed nothing in preseason. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

Yeah, that was dumb.
We might see Siemian enter this game. Brock got nailed into the turf on his throwing shoulder that was already hurt. It won’t matter, the offense sucks.

It genuinely bothers me that Denver havent solved the offense, you guys were always a tough game for the Pats. It was fun having a really competitive game almost guaranteed. I wonder if they’ll blow it up this offseason or give Joseph another chance to turn it around.

I doubt he’d get rid of Joseph, but housecleaning will happen if they keep losing. He’d probably fire the coordinators and start dumping salary though.

There’s still a lot of talent on the roster so I imagine there’ll be some urgency to get things going again quick. I’ll be interested to see who ends up at QB next season.
