Do you currently believe the Broncos will make the playoffs?

[Taco John]

Just checking the temperature around here... Seeing a lot of people knocking our chances, saying things like "most people don't believe" and I think they're taking liberties with people's opinions. I'm curious how right (or wrong) they might be...

[Man-Goblin]

Yes. But not 100% sure or anything.

[theAPAOps5]

I think they can make it as a wild card. People keep saying that Culter is going to lose games but the same could be said about Plummer the way he is playing. Barring Injuries they get in as a Wild Card.

[JDB7821]

Of course. Three more wins would most likely be at least a wild card, and two of those three come from the Cardinals and the 49ers. I think the Broncos will beat the Seahawks this weekend, too. I think an 11-5 finish seems right.

[BigPlayShay]

5 seed

[Crushaholic]

Only if we take care of our business or get help from other teams. Jacksonville losing was HUGE for our chances. As of now, we are sitting in the final wild card position hoping we hold on.

[Dagmar]

100% positive.

[maven]

Yes, I believe Jay can deliver 3-2 for the rest of the season. That would leave Denver at 10-6, thus make the playoffs.

[CBF1]

Now that Jake appears to be gone, I am 100% sure we make the playoffs.

[12th man]

Yes I believe we will make playoffs. we only need to win only 3-4 games. I know we will have the rook in, but look who we will be facing. We got Seattle, chargers, arizona, cincy, and then 49'ers. I really think we beat the seahawks on sunday, arizona is a sure thing, and I think the niners will be a sure thing. The bengals will be tough becuase the offense is starting to click again, but we face them at mile high, and I don't care who we are playing, I always feel we can win against any team when we are home.

[RhymesayersDU]

Well, the Jagwads did us a major favor today by losing.

We've got 1 game on the 7th seeded people right now, and I think it's feasible that we get in as a wildcard. No matter who is playing QB, we should beat Arizona and San Fran. Hopefully we can take care of Seattle, and the Cincy game will probably decide a playoff game. That game will be scary, because we won't be able to stop the Bengals offense, and we'll have to see what the kid can do to fire back.

I doubt we beat SD in SD. So yeah. Wild card probably.

[bcbronc]

maybe? we need to find a running back that can get the job done consitantly and our defense needs to refind its form.

[ludo21]

YES!!

A win this week vs Seattle and another BIG win vs. SD the following week,
Bank on it!!

[Goobzilla]

We're getting in, BOOK IT!

[listopencil]

I picked "doubtful". Our O only had a few rare games of effectiveness so far this year and our D is worn down, banged up and missing some parts. 3-2 from this point out looks like a stretch to me and I don't think 9-7 will cut it. I'm thinking AZ looks like a win and the 9ers are going to give us trouble but that one is winnable.

[theAPAOps5]

Actually if we beat the Seahags on Sunday night I think we only lose to San Diego. I think we also have a chance and can beat them if we play our game and Cutler executes the whole game. Cincy is starting to click but they play here and even though we have lost 2 in a row at home Denver is still a hard place to win. 11-5 is possible and that will get them in.

[theAPAOps5]

Listo I am not so sure that the O can respond with Cutler. He looks to be better pocket passer which can open the run. If that happens TOP improves and the D doesn't get their butts worn into the ground. Also the team has just had what can be considered a mini bye-week. Rested and regrouped who know what could happen. All I know is if we go into SD and beat the Chargers I will be overjoyed.

[Mile High Mojoe]

My short answer is Yes.

[listopencil]

Yeah, I understand the reason for the optimism but I'll believe it when I see it. I have no faith in this team right now.

[SoCalBronco]

I think we'll get in at 10-6. We'll lose the Charger game and 1 more.

[Goobzilla]

Even if we don't make it with Cutler at the stick, is that much worse than the lackluster one and done playoff road loss we were probably headed for?

[Sassy]

I think we'll get in at 10-6. We'll lose the Charger game and 1 more.

Nope. Hogan and I have that game covered :)

[Atlas]

Denver beat the Ravens and Patriots. So they are looking just fine for the playoffs. Beat S.D. in two weeks and they might be able to pass the Chefs record wise.

Nothing is done yet. I think they still could be the 2nd best team in the AFC. When they beat the Chuggers in two weeks many here will change their opinion.

[Paladin]

The chase is still on. Anything can happen. Why wouldn't you be confident the team can make the playoffs? They are not out of the playoffs until the last game is played.

[footstepsfrom#27]

Yes...I'd say we have a better than even chance...but even if we don't I'll be happy as long as Jay gets some good experience. With AZ and SF on the schedule we should be able to go at least 10-6

[Pezman]

Count me in the doubtful part, only based on the fact that we walk into the last quarter of the season with a ton of unknowns, the least of which seems to be how to solve the run game, the worst is how to stop the big name players when we absolutely have to.

Again, though, this is my current train of thought. I'll probably feel this way until we can see some real consistancy from that offense. Alot can happen between now and that SD showdown in a couple weeks.

[Jetmeck]

Well, the Jagwads did us a major favor today by losing.

We've got 1 game on the 7th seeded people right now, and I think it's feasible that we get in as a wildcard. No matter who is playing QB, we should beat Arizona and San Fran.

I doubt we beat SD in SD. So yeah. Wild card probably.

If we can't beat SD in SD, what good will it do to get in the playoffs ?

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Maybe, it'll be close either way.

[anthonypacino]

We will be a wild card and "limp" in. One and done probably Baltimore.

[Kaylore]

We will be a wild card and "limp" in. One and done probably Baltimore.

I could see that. I could also see us missing things and I could see us getting hot and winning a few. I think the odds are more in our favor to make the postseason than not at this point.

[BroncoMatt]

We will be a wild card and "limp" in. One and done probably Baltimore.

Baltimore will likely have a bye.

We will host either KC or SD as at 12-4 we win the division. SD loses this week at Buffalo.

[theAPAOps5]

Baltimore will likely have a bye.

We will host either KC or SD as at 12-4 we win the division. SD loses this week at Buffalo.

Wow I don't think we can run the table that would be a mighty feet. It would be awesome though but I just don't see how that happens.

[BroncoMatt]

Wow I don't think we can run the table that would be a mighty feet. It would be awesome though but I just don't see how that happens.


I don't think so either but what the hell, if/when we lose again I'll proclaim 11-5

[theAPAOps5]

I don't think so either but what the hell, if/when we lose again I'll proclaim 11-5

I like the thinking. Here is to running the table and catching up with SD.

[anthonypacino]

I could see that. I could also see us missing things and I could see us getting hot and winning a few. I think the odds are more in our favor to make the postseason than not at this point.

I agree. but going to either Balt or NE is too much to expect out of the Kid (unless the run game blows up big) the D will play good enough to win but we HAVE to be able to score and sustain some drives. Alot needs to improve

[Atlas]

You have to look at it like this. I look for the whole team to ralley around their rookie QB. Everyone including Plummer will be there for the kid.

I look for the Broncos to have their best overall game this Sunday. They will beat the Seahags convincingly.

[OrangeShadow]

its the NFL anything is possible

[-Slap-]

Alot can happen between now and that SD showdown in a couple weeks.

Yeah, there's still plenty of time for another Charger player to turn up with a dirty piss test or get shot down by police.

[Broncoman13]

Like I said in Mort's thread, Jay Cutler will take us to the playoffs if he can sustain 2-3 more drives per game vs what Plummer was doing. Our points scored will increase, even if only by 3 pts per game. Our pts against will decrease. TOP will increase. RB's will be more productive with more opportunities. Defense will get more in game rest, which will allow them to be more productive. For all the people that point out that we have several problems other than just QB, I say look at how much 2 or 3 more 3rd down coversions per game will do to help with those other problem areas. If you can't look at our defense and see that they are WORE OUT then I don't know what to tell you. Shanahan is at his best when we control the ball 32 minutes or more. I don't think it's beyond a marginal chance that Cutler will be twice as efficient as Plummer in 3rd down conversions. All we need is 2 or 3 more per game and we will be very successful... PROMISE!

We're going to the playoffs. No doubt in my mind.

1. Indy
2. San Diego
3. New England
4. Baltimore
5. Kansashiaty
6. DENVER

Denver @ NE...... Denver wins
KC @ Baltimore.... Baltimore wins
Denver @ Indy..... SCARY

Better hope for the #5 spot!!!

[Rascal]

It depends on a number of factors. Jacksonville lost so that helps, but that Cinci game is huge and I think that game will decide it. We win and we're in, we lose and we're out.

I'd put the odds at 60-40 that we make it.

[Rohirrim]

Yeah, we're going. Put it in the bank. Like I said before, come next Monday, Jay Cutler is the number one subject among the talking head and buffet crowd of televised sports. The good QB play gets the running game moving again. Kircus and Sheffler look good again. Cutler actually hits receivers in stride, something we haven't seen in Denver. He doesn't overthrow the deep ball. The only thing I'm worried about now is STs.

[broncsyanks]

it will come down to dec 24 with our game with cincy. winner goes in and depending on the offense of course

[Paladin]

Unless, of course, Cinnci loses again, whioch is possible (I don't have the schedule here, but I think the Post had a short on it and implied that Cinnci had a tough row to hoe). Further, kansas City will drop one or two, yet. If they drop two, and Denver loses only one, the Broncos get the five seed and nearly anything can happen then.

Being realistic, Jay being a roolie and all, I think a limp to the playoffs is just fine, and he would get that experience. Then, watch out for next year!

[Spider]

maybe ,depends , could be , there is a shot , seen it happen before , outside chance , ask the question again .................BRB ;D

[loborugger]

I see us finishing 11-5 or possibly 10-6 - more likely 11-5. If 11-5 doesnt get us in, I will be SHOCKED. Look at our competition. KC has a tougher end of season schedule. Cincy and Jax look like a 4-12 team every other week. I see us in with either record. Further, someone could get in with a 9-7 record. There are some AFC teams in the hunt that are fading - unfortunately, SD isnt one of the faders.

So, I could get all fired up about the playoffs. But honestly, who cares? When it comes to playing the class of the AFC we have a poor defense, poor special teams, and a mediocre offense piloted by either (A) a lame duck, or (B) a rookie. I see this season ending, on someone else's field, 46-10 with a lot of heartache.

We seem to have transformed into the Fins of the late 90s. Team was always fairly good, always a wild card, always about 10-6, and always a first round loser. We can be counted on to compete and come up a step or two short of the ring.

[broncosteven]

Once we get Tatum Bell Back Healthy & finally have a RB that was leading league prior to his injury & as long as Mike really does pull Joke Blunder & puts JC in we should be able to win at least 3.

The receivers have been open in the past, we just have not had a QB who could get the ball to them. If Jay does not try to do too much we could win 4 with this D.

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

I'm always an optimist, but Broncs can't get out rushed 230-30.

[orinjkrush]

Depends on how rusty the Kid is. He's been sleep walking on the sidelines for 11 weeks now. I think it may be too much to ask of our Savior.

[defenseman]

The following AFC teams should make the playoffs:
Indy, Baltimore, NE, San Diego, Denver, NY Jets...dman

[Mile High Shack]

I've been thinking about it
and I possibly could be making rash assumptions

After this weekends game I'll know more, rather all of us will

Seattle has a decent defense, but you can run on them, but they have all their offenses pieces back and we'll see how our D performs against a good defense

If we bend over again to a top offense, then I'll stick with my 9-7 prediction, but if we win this game, I'll say 11-5

[~Crash~]

5-0 I see The D as ran down they will not be on the field no were as long for the rest of the year !

[defenseman]

I like the Jets Schedule much more than KC's. I'm thinking a dark horse is the jets instead of KC. KC schedule is pretty tough. NYJ's are playing better and have a few challenges left, however, all do able..dman

[Tom A Hawk]

Just checking the temperature around here... Seeing a lot of people knocking our chances, saying things like "most people don't believe" and I think they're taking liberties with people's opinions. I'm curious how right (or wrong) they might be...

I predict your team ends with a 11-5 or 10-6 record which will be good enough. Cutler will provide you no less chance than what you had with Plummer. I like the way the race has shaped up in the AFCW. We might very well be faced with another KC/Denver show down.

[Rascal]

TJ is an ass hole, and always will be an ass hole.

That is the correct answer.

[broncoblue]

not read a lot on here this week ive been too depressed,but even thogh ive a lot of time for jake i think to much pressure was placed on him this week and i think its gotta be jay time.I still think its way to early for him thogh.
Play offs ?who knows..qb is a huge problem,te is same and i think come draft time or free agent time we need a bull rb .Our st is also way to poor to handle play offs...but having said that i cant wait for my az trip.

[Master___Pain]

I voted doubtful...and I am usually an optimist and sunshine pumper, but this team is a complete mess right now. The run game stinks, the D seems gassed and is really banged up and the special teams is just plain awful. There is not one game on the schedule that is a "lock or "given" victory with the way this team has been playing. I am excited to see Cutler, but he's not a big enough band aid to cover up all that is wrong with this team.

No run game+can't stop the run= No playoffs.

Something has to change

[JoRo]

I cant say for sure, but I aint likin our chances at this moment:

Why?

Our remaining games, since tahts the only thing we can control. They currently are lookin to me as follows:

Seahawks-We will win this game, I dont know why I just got a good feelin, one is that I dont think the Seahawks are all taht good on defense and i think the team will be playin hard for Cutler.

Chargers-I can not say I have any confidence we win this game. We lost that last one, and yes it was close till the second half: but that was a different team than we'll play this time around, at THEIR place.... that makes us 8-5 we will need to prolly win out but...

Cards-This is a win any way we cut it, if we lose this we dont deserve to win another game the rest of the way.

Cincy-This game makes me nervous. They are fightin for their playoff lives NOW, and are startin to look like the steelers last year to me. No I aint sayin they win the sb, but they are a very dangerous team, and I cant see us suriving their offense without any pressure. Champ can only cover one of their three good wideouts and Palmer is quietly one of the better qbs in the game. if we lose we may have a chance at 9-6...BUT...


49ers-This team is going to be playing for their own playoff lives. This also is a very very hungry team. They may not have the most talent but you know waht? Frank Gore imo is quietly one of the best backs in the league and we all know wut the last two good backs did to us..... it all depends if we can keep up...

At worst i see us 9-7 at best 11-5. If we are 11-5 we are in, cuz I know KC and SD have a tough sched as well. At 10-6 we may get in I aint sure. But 9-7 we will be having a long wait till nex year....

[WoodMan]

I think that the cutler promotion will be the spark that lights the fire under the asses of the Broncos. Better defense the rest of the way and definitely better offense the rest of the way. Yes, they will make the playoffs. In Shannahan I trust.

[XXXII&III]

I received a nice little pre-Christmas present from the Broncos. They want me to send them money for two, yes! two! home playoff games. "just in case." If I want playoff tickets, I have to pay for them by December 11.

I'm feeling kinda guilty but am considering NOT buying those playoff tickets.

Even though they sure could make the playoffs, I don't feel confident they'll host any games.

Hope I'm wrong.

[NYBronco]

Yes they will make the playoffs.

I've been optimistic the past 11 weeks the Broncos would win each game. It's not going to change now with Cutler. Of the two (Plummer and Cutler) I feel the Broncos have a better opportunity for success with Jay. The last time I was this excited about the Broncos Elway was in the game.

[long beach bronco]

Things looked kind of bleek after losing to KC. The team was in a funk, now with this one change, we won't lose another game this season. We'll finish out 12-4 and win the AFC west on tiebreakers and we'll get the #2 seed on tiebreakers also. We will be the Steelers of '05.

[telluride]

Yep.

And from then, anything is possible.

[bigpeewee]

What a bunch of Homers

[Sassy]

That's a pretty tall order for a rookie QB.

[Los Broncos]

I love my team, but i dont think we make it in, with the QB change and the way our D has been playing, i just dont see it.

[SureShot]

Take it to the bank.

[Wes Mantooth]

If they get there, do you really want to see them in it? I believe that if you cannot win it all, it is not worth going.

[broncogary]

When you say "currently," do you mean when you started the poll, or right now? Can we vote numerous times?

[SureShot]

If they get there, do you really want to see them in it? I believe that if you cannot win it all, it is not worth going.

Thats lame. You can't win it unless you are in it.

[NFLBRONCO]

As one of the biggest homers regarding Cutler (Don't worry Sassy I'm excited but, realistic about Cutler I'm not calling him next John or HOF QB he has to prove it). I think the playoffs are a reach right now. It is tough to expect too much from a rookie even a talented one who hasn't even played since late August.

Most are focusing on Cutler but, our ST's suck eggs and D has to prove they are worthy the rest of the way. I think Denver must get out of the gate early on D and get some turnovers and 3 and outs. This group is shaken and if we sputter 1st half you have to wonder if this team lost their desire.

[fontaine]

I think everything is a possiblity.

The Broncos could go undefeated rest of the season and win the superbowl, or we could tank it and lose all our games because of a struggling rookie and injuries to our D. Anything is possible.

That's why having a rookie in there makes it so exciting!

[Broncomutt]

Well Seattle, San Diego and Cincinatti are pretty much guaranteed losses since we are helpless against high powered offense.

As much as I've been aching to see Cutler start, I don't think he's ready to match those other QBs point for point.

So...I just don't see how 9-7 is gonna get us in the AFC playoffs.

[Spider]

I have had time to think it over , I think we can , Cutler can throw from the pocket as well as on the run , alot of D's will give Cutler different looks , but they are not going to fool him everytime , then it hit me , Defenses also have to be carefull cause of Denvers running game , they cant just sell out on Cutler ......although Jake is a vet , he realy hasnt played like one this year ......
i dont expect Cutler to put up great #'s get a heros parade , but it is clear Cutler isnt a bafoon , and Denver is a rock solid team , dont turn the ball over sustain Drives , the rest will take care of its self ........ Broncos 11-5

[Wes Mantooth]

Thats lame. You can't win it unless you are in it.

And I don't think they are ready to win it.

1. we can't run
2. can't stop the pass against anyone not named champ
3. WE ARE STARTING A ROOKIE QB

[ScottXray]

I voted not sure...but I've been thinking about it...

I think we are going 4-1 over the next five and will be in at 11-5.

Cutler changes the whole dynamic of the offense......and therefore the entire team.

When your QB can make the throws Jay can the whole playbook
opens up. Offensively we should be able to stay with anyone now, because Shanahan will NEED to use ALL of Jays skills to stay with some of the offenses we have to face.

Larry Coyer had better have the defense ready...Teams are going to try to get UP on us (using OUR tactics) early to keep us from running. I think they will regret that soon.

I wish this had happened at least two weeks ago though,because it will take a little while for timing to get down between Jay and the receivers, but water under the bridge.

I think we will be a wildcard....and on the road in the playoffs. NOBODY is going to want to play us....WE are this years Pittsburgh!:strong:

[bloodsunday]

This team didn't just go 5 - 1 to sucking it up over night. There is real talent on this team and we have a top-notch coaching staff. They desperately need to play with more passion and confidence.

The schedule does get easier. The key will be to beat Cincy and keep our conference record proped-up and knock them out at the same time.

[listopencil]

Anybody want to go back and change their vote?

[Man-Goblin]

Anybody want to go back and change their vote?

Nope. I usually don't make blanket predictions, but I truly believe they're winning the next three.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

I'm looking pretty solid so far. I said you'd lose the last three games, and boy howdy you did! I think Cincy will end your season.

[Disco Man]

I'm looking pretty solid so far. I said you'd lose the last three games, and boy howdy you did! I think Cincy will end your season.

....and all this from a guy who had the Chiefs as a champion for the last 15 years. Have you made travel plans for the Chiefs game in Denver next year yet?

[theAPAOps5]

I'm looking pretty solid so far. I said you'd lose the last three games, and boy howdy you did! I think Cincy will end your season.

Poor Boob your team essentially is dead. How bout that terrific AFC record. You have to join Raiders fans and root against he Broncos.

Yeah we very well might not make the playoffs but at this point the playoffs won't be very exciting for us. We have lost to many players to injury. We need a real DLineman, a kick returner, and a second starting corner.

Things could be worse we could be KC with an aging Offense a choke of a coach and no defense.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

You have to join Raiders fans and root against he Broncos.

No we don't. The Broncos are of no concern to the Chiefs at this point.


Things could be worse we could be KC with an aging Offense a choke of a coach and no defense.

Our future is bright. Your comment about our defense is amusing considering the Chiefs and Broncos have allowed almost exactly the same number of points this year.

[theAPAOps5]

Yeah but you always talk about how amazing your D has become and like the broncos they show holes. I am just responding to your past take on the Chiefs. You future is bright at RB but where else? You have an aging WR corp, Gonzales is aging and may leave, Trint is surely on his down swing. I just don't see how you can be excited.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

I just don't see how you can be excited.

We've got plenty of young talent. There's lots of reasons to be excited. We're giving up 18.6 points a game on defense this year. That's an amazing improvement. HERM RULES!

[theAPAOps5]

Yeah I guess you guys are better on the points front but Herm ball is killing you guys on the road and now at home.

Maybe going back to Trint wasn't the right move.

[Bronx33]

Getting a early start on next years early exit? (just ask) a jets fan why they don't like hermy, and you will notice that's exactly what your getting now (only) your happy about it.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

Herm ball is killing you guys on the road and now at home.

That's not even anything close to the truth. In fact, Herm's ultra-conservative label hasn't really been a problem this year at all.


Maybe going back to Trint wasn't the right move.

No, it was definitely the right move. There's absolutely no question.

[theAPAOps5]

Ok I haven't been able to watch KC until today since we played them and Trint looked terrible today. So I was just curious.

[Bronx33]

[QUOTE=Bob's your Information Minister;1397626]That's not even anything close to the truth. In fact, Herm's ultra-conservative label hasn't really been a problem this year at all.



Explain the problem then fat boy cause frankly i don't think you have a clue all you got is your homerism and a box of donuts holding you head above water.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

Explain the problem

Our offense has **** the bed horribly in four games this year. Most of that is due to the offensive line, but our rookie offensive coordinator has also done a horrible job at times.

In four games we scored 10, 6, 10 and 10 points. The defense played well enough to win in all of those games.

If Green had not gotten hurt we'd probably be 9-4 at this point. Them's the breaks.

Having watched a handful of KC games in the last month, I have been really impressed with LJ. How many times has that guy run outta trouble in the backfield, and made positive yards when he shoulda gotten tackled for a 5 yd lose.

It's sad that we've wasted back-to-back 1,600+ yard seasons from LJ. How many other teams have a running back produce at that level and miss the playoffs?

Ah yes...but he DID get hurt...didn't he? Now here's something to ponder; TrINT will be 37 next season...so he's obviously pretty much done...and you now have to choose between Damon Huard and Brody Croyle...to pin all your playoff hopes on.

Sucks eh?

Of course you could always pick up Jake in the off season. That's probably your best choice right now...;D ;D ;D

I have a hard time feeling sorry for you

He's coming back for at least one more year.

The Chiefs have zero chance of winning next week, sending the conference record to 3-7. Hell, as you know, they will have big trouble winning at Oakland too.

The Broncos have a pretty decent chance to make them, despite all the problems. I know your lard filled body must shake with anger at the impotence of the Chiefs yet again. 75% of your good players are on the last legs of their careers.

When this season is over, this will be 6 times in 7 years this decade the Broncos have a better record than the Chiefs. Good stuff.

What for? You're obviously not going to win it all next season even with him in there...why not start the Brady Croyle era now so he can get some experience like Shanny's done with Jay?

Oh yeah I forgot...you're just shooting to make the playoffs and you know Croyle will suck anyway so why not use Green's last year to make another run at mediocrity?

And why not? Our defense will be even better. We'll have a chance to fix some of these offensive problems. And best of all, most of Dick's pussies will be kicked off the team.

Because you're the Chiefs.

We won't beat Cincy so no we won't make the playoffs.

[fontaine]

Hell yes we'll make the playoffs.

Tatum will run the ball hard as he has done since he came back.

Arizona, San Fran, and cincy don't scare me.

10-6.

Time to get this show on the road!

I picked "doubtful". Our O only had a few rare games of effectiveness so far this year and our D is worn down, banged up and missing some parts. 3-2 from this point out looks like a stretch to me and I don't think 9-7 will cut it. I'm thinking AZ looks like a win and the 9ers are going to give us trouble but that one is winnable.

OK, so we got a lucky win against Cinnci and got outplayed by the 9ers. Too bad. We had a shot and blew it. At least the future looks very bright.
