Shall I go through the schedule and give you examples of games the Broncos opponents were lucky to win? It's ridiculous.

San Diego had the opportunity to stop Denver from scoring TWICE and couldn't do it either time. Yet they deserve to win on a fluke fumble that they absolutely did not cause? Lucky to win the New Orleans game because of a missed neutral zone infraction? That's rich. You could make that case in 95% of the close games in the NFL, based on some uncalled or phantom penalty. Again, New Orleans had the opportunity to win the game but because they made a horrific personel decision they couldn't get it done.

They have been woefully inconsistant this year, but I will happily chalk that up to their age and inexperience. You can call them a bad team all you want, but I doubt you have a keen grasp on why.

BTW...Denver and San Diego BOTH beat the Jets. Miami squeaked by them both (I don't see a clear distinction based on the head to head games) New England split with them, but lost two home games to divisional opponents and played one of the easiest schedules of the season. Is it really Denver/San Diego keeping one of those teams out? I don't think so.
