There'll always be the memories of that offseason when Russ first came over and the thought was the division had 3 playoff teams going forward :unsmith:

That thing Elway refused to do 5 years ago.

Rebuild.

Which is fun because I don't think Payton wants to be around for a rebuild and Russ won't make one easy

Jeff Fisher's made a Super Bowl in my lifetime and hell, that's further than the Chargers have gotten in SD or LA then

"Oh but he has the most losses" :rubby: get back to me on that in 2 months. The only record Bill's breaking, and he's doing it soon

Just like most sports fans, the majority are just whatever, some are good people and some are trashcan assholes making everyone else look bad by association. Except Chiefs fans, most of them are just straight up racists.

They have a 5% chance.

Stuff they need to happen this week to stay alive for wild card for next week:

They win against Chargers
Pats beat Bills
Seahawks beat Steelers
Chiefs beat Bengals
Titans beat Texans
Panthers beat Jaguars
Raiders beat Colts

The least-likely parts are the Pats and the Panthers, but even the Panthers have help now that Trevor Bust is out. But yeah, they are not only still alive for a wild card spot, they're still alive for the division (yeah it is weird but the Chiefs mathematically help them out via a win or loss https://broncoswire.usatoday.com/lists/can-the-denver-broncos-still-make-nfl-playoffs-week-17/)

even beating the Chargers would be a tall order.

They already did it once this month with Russ. Wasn't even close either

I think they're gonna draft a QB and hope to god it's a hit, if not, punt punt punt

They've done too good to have a great shot at the draft even if they don't make playoffs or win their division (which to be clear, they can still do both), they don't have the assets to trade up with another QB-needy team, and the '25 draft looks worse for prospects than this one does

Like genuinely moving on from Russ would have been a great idea to do...5 or 6 months ago

That's what's killing me. If this was the plan last year, when he was clearly sucking, when the deal still looked bad and everyone was making fun of it, when they had half as many wins, great. No argument. Get rid of him, bench him and tank. If you're punting on the year, you have a great and obvious chance to do so at the start of this season that nobody would bat an eye at

I thought this video with Tubfrog was an eye opening look at how astoundingly bad the Broncos QB situation has been since Manning retired

Can't find the image depicting it but, you know how the Commanders have the most starting QBs of the last 7 years in the league (2018-now)?

Washington: 12
Alex Smith
Josh Johnson
Colt McCoy
Mark Sanchez
Case Keenum
Dwayne Haskins
Kyle Allen
Taylor Heinicke
Ryan Fitzpatrick
Garrett Gilbert
Carson Wentz
Sam Howell

Broncos have the second-most

Denver: 10
Case Keenum
Joe Flacco
Drew Lock
Brandon Allen
Jeff Driskel
Brett Rypien
Phillip Lindsay
Teddy Bridgewater
Russell Wilson
Jarrett Stidham

I know the Colts have also had a TERRIBLE time with the QB Carousel since Manning, it was a point of discussion during the Colts-Broncos game from hell last year.

Tied with the Broncos at 10 in the same time period yeah

Andrew Luck
Jacoby Brissett
Brian Hoyer
Philip Rivers
Carson Wentz
Matt Ryan
Sam Ehlinger
Nick Foles
Gardner Minshew

We don't know who the QBs for Raiders and Broncos are. So until that's sorted I'd refuse to comment on their prospects.

For the Chargers, the massive coaching upgrade likely trumps the cap casualties. Without seeing the full off-season, I think the chargers will bounce back to wild card contenders next year. Depends entirely on the draft and whether Herbert can stay injury free for a full season.

Chargers play the NFC South, Pats, Cards, and Titans. There were excuses for why they couldn't get 6 wins in 2023; there's no excuse for why they can't get 6 wins in 2024
