My buddy who's a Broncos fan was going f'ing insane during the offseason.

2009 Broncos = 1996 redskins . Nice start , not sold on them .... yet . Titans , surprised that a Fisher coached team is this bad . Bengals look much improved and looks like our Pal Norval could be in jeopordy of losing his team ,,,,, and job at years end .

I thought the Broncos were going to be a train wreck. They're not just 6-0, they've beaten some of the best teams in the league. I expected the Titans to drop off but man, I didn't think they'd be losing 59-0 a year after going 13-3. Sad because I root for them.

Definitely the Broncos for me. I had them pegged for about 4-5 wins all season.

Their D has really stepped up and become the league's best after being close to the worst last season.

Tennessee...I knew they'd be weaker from losing Haynesworth and Collins is getting older with no talent to throw to. I didn't think they would be THIS bad, but I knew they'd struggle.

....but McDaniels is the coach.. I expect nothing less from the Bellicheck protege haha

To be honest, I had denver at 4 or 5 wins MAX, and had Tenn at maybe 8 wins, so for me it's Denver. It's A LOT harder to be 6-0 than it is 0-6...and we're talking about a team that lost it's franchise qb and signed a sub par by everyone's standards qb...had it's #1 wr bitching and moaning and kicking footballs in practice, a high strung OC turned rookie HC, a defense that swiss cheese would be proud of...and they are 6-0. So to me, this is a no brainer, it's Denver is the biggest shocker, not only this year, but in recent memory.
This should show everyone that you don't need 2-4 YEARS to learn an offense if you're good and smart enough.

Like Charlie Weiss? How bout Romeo Cremel? How about the Mangenius? Face it, once Belicheat let's them out of his nest, they flop to the ground. McDaniels is the exception at this point. (keep in mind that Mangini started off strong at one point too, now he's a bust...although I don't see McDaniels having that problem.)

Belicheat has a nice resume there.

So was McDaniels a severe miss by our FO for HC??

Especially with Benson emerging.. I'm surprised to see Chad playing good so far.. I thought he lost a step, but I dunno about it anymore now..

Devner's defense is definitely the surprise defense corp this year, no question.. During the off season, we, all people criticized them for not doing anything with defense, with an exception of signing Dawkins.. But they are proving all of us wrong.. And guess who's winning the blockbuster trade of Portis and Bailey?

Our starting QBs always go onto set the world on fire with other teams.
