Is this the Worst Bronco team?

[ScottXray]

I think many of the late sixties/early seventies teams were worse...
but they had more HEART than this one.

Stupid play execution and Stupid play calling, combined with lack of
talent and lack of effort.

[Popps]

Nowhere near the worst, but far and away the most gutless Broncos team I've watched in my 30 years as a fan.

[Doc]

I am an older fan (been going to games since 1972). The Broncos have had some truly horrid seasons. The difference is that now we have talent, some of it isn't on the field due to injuries and some of it isn't being used effectively. We don't have any Bronco mojo this year. I am not bitter, but realistic. It's not our turn. I think we are two to three years away from being intimidating. We really need to get our home field advantage back and then things will fall into place. This year I am not going to throw any tantrums or call for Coach's head (a stupid suggestion in my opinion). I am going to watch young players develop and trust that our investment with our youthful players will pay dividends within a couple of years.

[houghtam]

Worst team I remember. I've only been a fan for about 25 years though...

I'm glad I didn't drop $60 on this game like I was going to. I would have much rather spent the $150 to see Michigan State almost upset Michigan. At least they have heart. This is the weakest group of quitters I've ever seen. If it were much worse, we'd have a roster full of Eddie Kennisons.

[orangeatheist]

In recent memory, yes.

[Man-Goblin]

I said in another thread that I thought the 1990 5-11 team and the 1999 6-10 team could be worse. But now that I think about it, the 1990 team would probably beat this team (because of Elway). And while the 1999 team was just as riddled by injuries, that team played its ass off every week (and they were a top 5 team in the league the next year!) So, I gotta say this is the worst Broncos team I have seen in my football watching lifetime.

[Tom G]

Not even close. The Broncos of the 60s had consecutive year wins of 2,2,4,4and 3.

But the difference was that we expected the worst back then. What makes this year so crushing is that we thought we would be in contention.

Wow. How wrong can you be.

[ColoradoDarin]

Fan since 1985... so yes, this is the worst team we've had since then. This is the worst _efense I've seen especially.

[Rock Chalk]

In my 20 years this is the most heartless team from week to week, but its not the worst team.

[DarkHorse30]

As bad as Denver is right now.....we're only 1 freakin' game behind the division leader. Apparently the NFC Central is kicking all of our collective arses.

3-5 is a pretty good record, considering how terrible our team has played the first 2 months.

We definitely need some upgrades on the O-line; Shanahan needs to fire Dennison and let Nalen coach them. Those guys have no leadership right now.

On the defensive side; who knows how to fix this sieve? Bates is not delivering what was promised, but you have to give him more than 1 season to fix things, right?

Doc you are right on. Shanahan had us fans believed that we might have had a chance this year. It has been a rebuilding year but he tricked us into thingking that we could have a shot. He and the owner know that this was and is a rebuilding year. Most fans are just starting to realize this some knew from the start.

[Sodak]

It's nice to have a discussion on a topic like this without assbag Boob interjecting his inane drivel.

Thanks again Taco!

[Orange_Beard]

Most gutless I have ever seen.

[Dedhed]

Anyone over 8 years old should know this sin't the worst team, but they sure know how to roll over when the chips are down. This may be the weakest defensive team I can think of. They're Snuggle soft.

[BMF Bronco]

this is the dumbest thread I have ever seen on this board in two plus years. If you have been a fan for longer than the Shanny era you know damn well better!

[RhymesayersDU]

They broke up? What happened?

[Goobzilla]

That 82 team was pretty bad. That was the strike year and we went 2-7. But this years team isn't good either.

[bloodsunday]

In my 20 years this is the most heartless team from week to week, but its not the worst team.

I agree with Alec -- this team doesn't seem to play with much heart.

The 1999 team was worse. Although there are similarities -- young QB, key injuries, NFC North.

[orinjkrush]

what, me worry?

[clean]

Reading all the posts about the 2007 Broncos being the worst ever makes me feel like an old man. I can remember a number of teams being worse than the current edition of the Broncos. ScottXray’s thread included a number of words and phrases to describe bad:

Heartless, gutless, lack of talent, lack of effort, and horrid

However, I want to address those folks who had high hopes in August and are feeling real depressed right now. Here are a few teams that high hopes, and in my mind, suffered greater disappointment:

1981 10 wins and 6 losses No postseason

<a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/4937/1982denverbroncosyg7.jpg"></a><br/>

1989 11 wins and 5 losses Lost Super Bowl XXIV (49ers) 55-10

<a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/1063/1990denverbroncosxm1.jpg"></a><br/>

1991 12 wins and 4 losses Lost Conference Championship (Bills) 10-7

<a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img454.imageshack.us/img454/1403/1992denverbroncosow3.jpg"></a><br/>

When your starting quarterbacks are Shawn Moore and Tommy Maddox, you experience real hopelessness.

In 1993 the Broncos made the playoffs, but lost to the Raiders three times. You want to talk about a clueless defense? Just look at the expression on Charlie Waters’ face and check out Charlie’s body language during the 42 to 17 loss to the Raiders in the AFC Wildcard game. No need to inundate me with a lot of meaningless statistics from the 1993 season. Watch the Wildcard game, pause the tape or dvd when Charlie is being filmed, and then tell me what you think.

Worse team all around I can remember in 30 years of being a Bronco fan

Typically great post, Clean. To expand on this somewhat, look at the 1988 team. The defense imploded in week 8 and they gave up 55, 42, 42 and 39 points in blowout losses in the final nine weeks.

[Vegas_Bronco]

where is the: timeouts to get your defense (not offense) on the same page stat? This defense is the worst with the most potential I have ever seen...many of the players are lost out there and don't like the system...I think you'll hear something about it this week.

[Goobzilla]

That 55-21 Colts game in 88 was a Halloween Monday Nighter and one of THE most humiliating losses in my tenure as a Bronco Fan. Today's loss, the Roc Alexander playoff game against the Colts and the 55-10 drubbing against the Niners in the SB are a couple more that stick out in my mind. I'm sure if I thought about it more I'd come up with a few more (and be really depressed).

Adrian Peterson's exploits today reminded me of that game. Eric Dickerson could have crushed Walter Payton's 275 if he had chosen to take more than a token handoff or two in the second half that night.

[Dr. Broncenstein]

This is certainly the most dissapointing team that I can remember in a long time. Not the worst.. just the biggest let-down. Key injuries that started last year and kept piling up this year are the biggest reason. Losing Al Wilson, Rod Smith, and Tom Nalen has gutted the leadership. Our biggest offensive weapon is gone for the year with a lingering knee issue that probably won't ever go away. Our quarterback is probably done for the season. Our prized free agent signings have been dissapointing at best (Bly, Graham)... if not outright locker-room cancers (Henry, Rice, Adams).

This team is in such disarray, and I don't think today was rock-bottom. I'll still watch... still cheer... but anything other than embarassing ass-kickings from here on out will exceed my expectations.

[Dean]

Back in the sixties we had 2-11-1, back to back 4-10, and for awhile 5 win seasons were common. No- the Broncos have been worst.

[broncocalijohn]

Hey Clean, I remember the Wild card game. In fact, I was not only there for that one but saw them in person the week before giving up a huge lead to the Faiders from the last 30 seconds of the first half to rookie Elam missing the field goal to knock out the Faiders for the playoffs and the Broncos winning the division, to the overtime loss. This was my famous game where the gun got pulled on me if Elam makes the kick. Waters and Phillips were horrible then. At least Elway finally got to throw the bejesus out of the ball every game. Those teams were nothing compared to this one. 1982 was I believe the worse with the 90 team right up there.

[houghtam]

Rep. I vote that the defense now be dubbed "Snuggle Soft". Maybe if we can get it to catch it will send a message to....someone.

[Vegas_Bronco]

This team shows no competitive edge...just play the plays and go home! It just might end up being one of the worst teams ever...look at our stats - steep decline the past 3 weeks. We could easily be 0-8 and our injury list isn't getting any shorter...fate might make it one of the worst.

I can't wait to see what happens...as a broncos fan, I'll admit it, I've been spoiled.

That's exactly it. We had our shiny, new QB with a good supporting cast. We had a Pro Bowl cornerback opposite Champ. We had a coach in Bates who is proven in putting good defenses together. This may not be the worst, but it's the most disappointing...

[bpc]

In my time following Denver and actually know what in the hell was going on, the 94' broncos team had to be the worst. They could hold teams to 3rd and 15... 3rd and 20... 3rd and 25 and they could convert. It was one of the worst looking defenses i've ever seen and we finished dead last in pass defense.

The difference between that team and this team is that we could pass block, Elway was throwing the hell out of the football and we fought our ass off each week even though we lost. Our run defense was actually solid too. We could stop people on 1st and 2nd down... it was 3rd down that killed us every time.

This team probably has more collective talent than that team but we are worse. We don't have leadership, we don't have hunger and we are lacking key players in certain areas... the injuries have not helped.

I don't know where this team goes from here but getting drubbed by the sorry lions and a mediocre Chargers team is not a good sign. Losing our home field advantage is not good.

We are in a sad sorry state right now and only some drastic changes in the future are going to get us out of it. We need to change the culture of this team which has accepted losing way too easily.

[BroncoBuff]

That 55-21 Colts game in 88 was a Halloween Monday Nighter and one of THE most humiliating losses in my tenure as a Bronco Fan.
Good call Goobz ... I said the same thing a month ago (http://www.orangemane.com/BB/showthread.php?p=1744636&highlight=indy+1988#post1744636). Also, the 2003 playoff loss @ Indy, when Al Wilson yelled at a teammate while Harrison got up under his nose and scored. Those were the lowest in terms of GAMES.

The lowest SEASON is tougher to pick. Clean is correct that 1982 and 1992 were horror shows, but '82 was a strike-shortened year, and wasn't 1992 the year Elway missed a lotta time with the ankle, and Reeves alternated QBs? And 1999 was a major give-up, but we were coming off B2B Lombardis, and we lost THREE HALL-OF-FAMERS on offense that year (Elway retired, Sharpe and TD were injured early). So I think 1994 was the worst - we were at full strength, wore the throwback unis ... but got killed every week, including that historic Raider blowout at old Mile High.

This year doesn't even compare ... we're just one game outta 1st place after all. This game and the San Diego game were pretty horrible, but mix in the Steelers and Packers games, and it's not all bad.

Is that optimism, Slap? hmmm...

Team stats like those can be misleading, too. I think the best season we ever had for team stats was 1981. It was Billy Thompson's last year, and the last incarnation of the Orange Crush defense nucleus was like #1 and #2 in yards and points allowed, and Craig Mortn had a banner year passing with our offense ranked in the Top 3 or 5 too. But we didn't even make the playoffs at 10-6.

[Bigdawg26]

I dont think this is the worst broncos team, but it is the most underachieving broncos team. This team is loaded with talent on offense and defense. There is no way denver cant score at least over 20 points a game when you have Brandon Marshall (who plays his heart out), Daniel Graham (We gotta get in going in the red zone. I have been begging for that all season long), Tony Schef (who is a great pass catching TE), Brandon Stokley (A great slot receiver), and Javon Walker (When he gets healthy he should help the offense get going), Travis Henry (A running back who is perfect for denver's running system), and Jay Culter ( The QB with the best arm the in NFL and has good mobility). On defense on the other hand I think we have talent, but not the right scheme and they just use their horses the right way. There is no way John Engelberger should still be starting with Tim Crowder healthy now. Give the young guy a chance who can stop the run and has a good pass rush. Dumervil is doing well and Marcus Thomas is coming along, but Sam Adams and the rest of those guys just are not the answer. We need someone along side Thomas who can stop the run and not just look the part. D.J. Williams should not be starting a MLB. He is what is he is (a great WLB). We need to cut Ian Gold and put DJ in his spot and get a thumber at MLB. Man I kick myself when I remember we could have gotten Trotter.

[-Slap-]

Why wouldn't I be optimistic? History and empirical evidence tell me the Broncos rarely have losing seasons. I think I'll endure this one with a little dignity.

Is 10-6 so bad?

Only five playoff teams back in 1981. The Jets tie with Miami is what ultimately screwed us.

We only outscored our opponents by 32 points that season, so I think any analysis that concludes the club was a statistical powerhouse is fundamentally flawed. We were basically mid pack in points scored and only slightly better in points allowed.

http://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/1981.htm
How about that ... well, I remembered it wrong, the points at least. What I remember best was Top3 in yardage gained and yardage surrendered, but I'll concede the point.

[-Slap-]

http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/denindex.htm

Check out our year by year ranking in points and yardage. That 1989 team that led the NFL in points allowed is the only time our defense has ever led the League in either category.

We led the NFL in yardage gained in 96 and 97 and in points scored in 97. Those are the only times our club has ever led the NFL in those categories. The 96-98 team was the closest we've ever come to a statistical juggernaut and that was exclusively on the offensive side of the ball.

Few people remember this, but our 97 Champion had the worst statistical rushing defense in the NFL based on YPC. It took last year's Colts team - a club that yielded 375 yards on the ground in a single game to Jacksonville - to field a worse run defense and win a championship.

[Atlas]

but they had more HEART than this one.

Stupid play execution and Stupid play calling, combined with lack of

I think the Greise team of 1999 when TD was injured was probably worse..... maybe.

[ScottXray]

What I was trying to see is how many people here
have been Bronco fans for a LONG time (say 20-25 years or more),
and how many have been around Less.

No Judgements.

Then there are the Older guys, like me , that are in category 1, but have forgotten a lot, so are halfway to number 3.

So its about 1/3 OLD farts, 1/2 NEWER and disgusted, and the rest ,just confused about the whole mess.

At least I get a weekly dose of give a damn, even if the team doesn't. Keeps me young, but might give me a stroke if they don't start turning it around soon.

[Traveler]

Nothing worse to me than the loss in the SB against the Redskins.

[HorseHead]

Alot of people have mentioned the '99 team...but at least those guys played hard..plus we had a little gem there for awhile in Olandis...that Monday Night game against the Raiders was a blast...

Plus I think we also crushed the Packers at home that year which was fun to watch...

All that being said, i'm depressed..this stinks...wah..wah...wah...

[Spider]

1983 season , we started out with 2 wins lost 3 in a row , then won 4 in a row , ended up with a 7-9 record with a rookie QB , got our asses handed to us in the seahawks in a wild card game ..... only that year we got swept by the Raiders

[broncosteven]

In my 33/34 years as a Bronco fan this is as bad as 82 team.

No hope to see any improvement this year. Maybe ST's get to mid of pack but that is all.

This is a team that only a parent could love.

The 83 team had a very good defense. Denver would have won the division that year if they would have started DeBerg every game..... maybe.

They would have at least been 11-5.

The 1999 team was worse. Although there are similarities -- young QB, key injuries, NFC North.

Disagree, in 99 they actually played with heart once they´d gotten over the 0-4 start.

[RhymesayersDU]

This is an interesting question, and I think what makes it worse is that we were hyped, and look good on paper.

It's one thing to have a bad team, where you know that going in to the season. It's a different thing to have real high hopes and get crushed.

[broncocalijohn]

Only year I remember being embarrased was 1994. Wade Phillips. I never cared for him as coach of the broncos.


The 94 team never gave up. They were almost the first team to start 0 and 4 and have a .500 or a winning record (Chargers , i believe, have that distinction now with even a superbowl appearance). I remember the Bills game where Elway makes a comeback to watch that Waters defense screw it up and on our way to 0 and 4. With the last game of the season, we were 7 and 8 at home vs the Saints and had our chance to go .500 . As my first game in Mile High, I saw this team get pretty much handled. 7 and 9 after starting 0 and 4 isnt the worst team but one of the best to not give up on a season. If only Fletcher was playing LB instead of DL, we would have won the SuperBowl... Honest!
