While the official site for the Denver Broncos is still talking playoffs, I sure hope the coaches are keeping the talk in the meeting rooms only about the next game and how the players get better results on the field.

Sure, technically the Broncos are loosely in a position to make a run and turn this season around...but I find it a bit disingenuous for anyone talking about the Broncos to be reloading the hope cannon for yet another barrage.

We’ve had 5 years of that. It is always about how close the team is...and the best that’s gotten us for the past 3 years is 5 wins.

Yes, I think the Broncos can do better and eclipse that number...they might even look respectable and be somewhere near .500 by the end of the season.

But playoffs!? Are you kidding me!?

Sound off in the poll...are you like me rolling your eyes or do you believe in this Broncos team and want more of the hype train?
