What do we do now? What does the future hold?

While am visiting the in-laws this week in Washington State, I learned that the Broncos/conquered fader nation game would not been seen on local TV, I decided to take a drive to a local sports bar that had NFL Sunday Ticket.  I got dressed in my John Elway throwback jersey with the 75th anniversary patch and went over there with my father-in-law planning on a great game and some good chicken wings.

As we came into the bar, we saw several TV's with all the games.  Soon we were settled into a booth with the game coming on.  For the first part of the game, the defense forced the conquered fader nation into a 3 and out.  Denver got the ball back and drove the ball down the field with relative ease.  Something changed on that drive when Peyton Hillis and Cutler couldn't handle the ball on the fader 5 yard line, resulting in giving the ball to Al's pals.  Instead of overcoming the turnover, the game turned worse.  You all know the rest of the story and I left after Cutler threw an interception in the 4th quarter.  Having to listen to some poser fader fans and their spawn cheering at the bar was bad enough with Denver beating themselves at every turn.

I have come to some conclusions for this team:

  • This team is too immature on both sides of the ball.  They don't take thier opponet seriously enough at times.  Stop posing after making a play and win the game.
  • We have some promising talent coming up, but it could take a few more years.
  • Good teams don't turn the ball over, great teams overcome turnovers when that rare occasion arises.
  • Being outcoached by Rex Ryan and Tom Cable is unacceptable in all instances.
  • This team does not deserve to win the AFC West.  If they do, it will be one and done.
  • Don't ever pity the fader nation after this day.  Denver needs to keep the "conquered" in the fader nation name.

As I came to these conclusions (as most of the rest of you did), I started to think of the people we would play on our schedule next season.  After today's game you have to be hopeful for something.

Here's what our schedule will entail for next season:

Home:

  • Missouri Indians
  • conquered fader nation
  • Phyllis and his merry men
  • Cleveland Browns
  • Pittsburgh Steelers
  • Dallas Cowboys
  • New York Giants
  • AFC East opponet (depending on final standings could be New England, New York Jets, Miami Dolphins or Buffalo Bills)

Away:

  • Missouri Indians
  • conquered fader nation
  • Phyllis and his merry men
  • Baltimore Ravens
  • Cincinnati Bengals
  • Philadelphia Eagles
  • Washington Redskins
  • AFC South opponet (Indianapolis Colts, Tennesee Titans, Jacksonville Jaguars or Houston Texans)

We have quite a schedule coming up next season.  This team will be better next season.  Another good draft and some wise free agent acquisitions (as well as better health) will take this group to a new level.
