Temper Expectations!!

<!-- @page { margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } -->

I have been here a lot at Mile High Report and with every defeat some fans tell me that the Broncos r wrong because they are shifted to ALL IN with the hiring of Peyton Manning. Right or wrong it's really hard to know until the end of the seasons yet to come, but what we can change is our expectations a bit.

Hire a Hall of Famer does not mean winning a Super Bowl, because there are 31 other teams that are fighting for it too. And there are at least 10 with a team being assembled more seasons and that is why they are in front of us. The world was not assembled in an afternoon, and certainly our team with new QB, new DC and several other positions will not mount from day to night. Losing is part for ALL NFL teams, NE lost 2 games, BG lost 3 , the reigning champion lost 2, and all of these teams lost against weaker teams than we lose.

Our problem lies in our expectation, because we think that we're going to win everything and everyone. I can not think of anyone who does not put us impartially between 2-4 to 3-3 after our 6 first games. That's right the game against the Chargers is away from home and I'm sure countless columnists will choose remorselessly the Chargers because they are in Power Rank in front of us. So why die expecting to be 4-2 or 5-1 if our potential right now is not that.

The biggest problem of the human being is that it focuses on the very end, in what he wants to achieve in life, buy a house or a car, go to college or get that girl, but forgets that life is not the end, but the journey. We need enjoy having the Payton Manning for having the Payton Manning, see games for the sake of good play , for the masterful passes, difficult or easy victories. If we get a Super Bown celebrate much but never fail to seize the moment, never get frustrated that your expectation (usually difficult to achieve) did not materialize. The Broncos is bigger than Manning, is bigger than us, the Broncos are immortal because our memories of winning or losing is what ll never let him die . So why waste a hell of a trip with a great pilot, a 5 stars ship , just because we're not sure where we will land. I'm sure where I'll land and be right here because I'm sure this is just one of the trips yet to come.

GO BRONCOS!!!
