Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

I am curious to know why most poeple on here seem to be okay with a slightly better than average season? Does anyone remember when 12-4 or 13-3 was expected? I don't know about you, but 9-7 or 10-6 to me doesn't seem in line with where the Bronco organization should be... especially since the Broncos are trying to get back to the Super Bowl!

Considering where we finished last year, and all that has happened to our organization over the off season, a 9-7 or 10-6 record would be extremely successful for us. It's a step towards becoming a legitimate contender year in and year out, so most fans should be more than satisfied if we win 9 or 10 games next year.

Since Mike Shanahan made it a habit of going 8-8 beginning three years ago.
You have to walk before you can run, and the Broncos had alot to repair before they could once again be serious contenders.
But I have absolute faith in McD that it will happen in short order.
He came in with an outsiders unbiased eye, got rid of alot of the deadweight on our roster, and made obvious improvements that were needed, ie addressing the dreadful special teams.
He changed and updated the scheme of the defense to an attacking style
3-4, which I thought was a wise move, especially in getting Mike Nolan to agree to come coach it.
He drafted Moreno to insure the Broncos could become a much better running team than they had been in order to help the defense by employing better ball control, and hopefully, improved field position.
He has moved to make the Broncos a much bigger, more physical team, which is a pleasant change from the finese identity we have had for several years, which is the primary reason the Broncos got spanked so often by the Chargers and others in recent seasons.
The Broncos are going to have some growing pains, but they are on the right track.
after a 7-9 season and a 8 -8 season, 10-6 sounds pretty damn good to me. When Shanny fired Coyer, and let our D slowly slip away, our expectations had to lower to fit the teams slip in production

I thought I would be albe to get some people going on this topic. My feeling on it is this, if we are content with having average seasons, then that is all it will be. Let us all raise the expectations a little. Let us all get back to expecting 12-4 and 13-3 type seasons... what do you all say?!
Your expectations are unfairly high. I understand having the mindset that you don't accept less than your standards when it comes to your team, but expecting 12-4+? You can't realistically expect such a good record from a team that's changed so much unless you're speaking with your orange and blue glasses. It's been done in the past with teams like Miami but not many predicted it would happen, it was the team coming out of nowhere, with the wildcat, mind you, but still. lol There's a line between idealism and realism, and even 10-6 would be ideal for a team gone through such changes. You don't think Chiefs fans are expecting 12-4, right?

Rome wasn't built in a day.
10-6 is just fine if it wins the division.
