All baseless talk.
They play in a crap division, but they've lost twice to SF making your point irrelevant. Oh yeah, the AFC West isn't exactly the best division in the league either. It's easily in the bottom 3.
The Browns should have beat them? It's not the Cards fault that the Browns turned the ball over. A blown call is complete BS. Scroll back a few pages and you'll see the hold by Winslow just prior to ball arriving. And you conveniently forgot the blown call on the Edwards TD and a blown replay on an INT at the end of the first half. That more than evens out the blown call.
Plus, if you want to play the blown call card I can just bring up Baltimore (BS unnecessary roughness for hitting too hard on A. Wilson setting up a game-winning field goal) and Tampa Bay (Arizona down 7 and driving, Tampa player gets INT, but doesn't get both feet inbounds - Cards can't challenge because they just burned their timeouts to get the ball back).
And I'm sure those are likely odds for beating Pittsburgh again. Because, you know, the Cards didn't beat them convincingly or anything like that...
The Broncos and Cards have had two common opponents - the Steelers, who both beat, and the Lions, who beat down the the Broncos and lost to the Cards by 10 points.
Let's not forget that the Broncos should be 4-8 if not for one of those ridiculous 'call a time-out as the game-winning field goal is snapped' plays against Oakland in OT.
