It just makes this extra sweet...
I know we still have our work cut out for us but practically every preseason football magazine picked us as at the bottom half of the division...
All offseason I had to hear people criticize Shanahan's offseason moves...
All the jokes about "BROWNCOS"
All the jokes about taking Jerry Rice
All the criticism about taking Mo Clarrett
All the overwelming criticisms of Jake Plummer
All the "Champ is overrated" crap
All the crap we got about taking 3 corners with our first 3 picks
Well people guess what...all that = AFC West champs with #2 seed and first round bye....SCOREBOARD!
All the "experts" and all the charger/chief/raider fans can eat crow....once again...SCOREBOARD!rofl2.gif" border="0" alt="" title="ROFL2" smilieid="110" class="inlineimg" /> :Broncos: :Broncos: :Broncos: :Broncos: :Broncos: :Broncos: :Broncos: :Broncos: :Broncos:

We sure did ....... Hell you guys should have been here when I took heat for Saying Al Wilson is the Line Backer Ray lewis is , Al Wilson over the last 3 years Proved he ranks with Ray Lewis , or when I said I would Take Rod Smith over Randy Moss ......... Our Man Smith out classed Moss all day ....... in Fact all season , in 2001 Rod played allyear on 2 bad ankles, and still kicked ass ....

I called Sean Salisbury on ESPN radio during Fourth of July weekend and he cut me off on national airwaves saying, "The Cleveland Browns defensive line isn't going to get the job done. Mike Shanahan is a horrible GM. Denver is competing for the AFC West basement" Blah Blah Blah Blah
John Clayton agreed with Sean so he was a hater, too.

Thanks for eliminating the Chargers and allowing us to get healthy the next three weeks Zach. Denver has never been healthy the last three Playoff games with major guys out. Now, even Darrent Williams should be ready to go in three weeks or so. A healthy backfield gives a great shot to advance and get deep into the playoffs.
Oh, and Denver does much better than the Chiefs at home in the playoffs ;D

Just because Zach's team layed a dump as divisional champs as well as SD last year, doesn't mean we have to.
Neither got a bye...
And BTW....I was also one of the few that actually liked out FA signings...true, we are not getting enough pass rush, but I think our shot at @2 is alot better than 3.
Those frustrated thugs were doing everything to injure us, and the refs ingnored it! I couldn't believe it....especially after the came was basically over...that was a disgrace by Oakland....

The criticism hasn't stopped. i was listening to ESPN radio on my way back from a family gathering and Sean Salisbury was saying "if Seattle doesn't sign Shaun Alexander long term, they are the dumbest franchise in the NFL". The other host said, "yeah well Seattle has a boatload of money tied to Walter Jones and Hasslebeck. They also have Steve Hutchinson to resign and their O-Line is damn good. Maybe they should take the Denver Broncos approach and get a decent RB and spend money elswhere".
To that, Salsbury said, "what's that, a loser franchise that loses in the playoffs every year"?
The other host said "They have had great success with the system backs". Salisbury says "The havent won since John Elway and they'll be lucky to win 1 playoff game this year".
I didn't hear the rest as I turned the station. The disrespect is alive and well!

I guess. Afterall, Salisbury won a ton of meaningful games in his career. Whenever there is a list of the best QB's of all time, Salisbury is always amongst the that list. Don't you think he is one of the most clutch QB's in huge games of all time?hmmm...

To paraphrase Those who can do, those who can't coach, those who never could become radio talk show hosts and talk trash. That pretty much explains Salisbury.

Well, considering he trashed Shanny for his off-season work, it is not surprising.
Looking at the link I didn't realize that I stated we could finish 13-3 if the Raiders and KC falter. Not bad. It is also nice to see I had faith in the RZ, they certainly did not start that way.
