Back in May when the NFL released the Denver Broncos 2026 schedule, I saw a brutal first six games for Denver and questioned how they could get out of that stretch above .500. In fact, my snap analysis goes exactly like this: “Honestly, if Denver gets through these games at or above .500, we have to chalk that up as a big win.” Here they are at 4-2 and it seems around Broncos County that we are reacting to an 0-6 team right now.
We need some perspective. And yes, Bo Nix and the offense need to get better. They need to find a better running game. They need better interior pass protection. They need wide receivers to get better separation. Bo has to turn in his readings on time. All this is said ad nauseum. But here’s the thing, they’re 4-2 and nowhere near playing good offensive football. And 4-2 against most playoff contenders (ChargersLOL).
Denver got through the worst part of their schedule with a winning record and has a chance to reset the entire season. Road games against the Arizona Cardinals and Carolina Panthers with a home game against the Kansas City Chiefs in between. Punch the Chiefs in the mouth and make them doubt Week 1 happened and go into the Bye Week at 7-2. It’s more possible in my mind than what they did to go 4-2 in the first six games.
So let’s F-in go!
There is a lot of discussion around the Broncos right now. Here’s all the good stuff I could find and a recap of our stuff. Hope you have a great weekend and enjoy the mini-Bye!
