Now I understand. For anyone outside of the Bronco’s fan base it must have been pretty obvious that looking at the Coach/Roster/Recruitment/Captain we just don’t have what it takes to be a top side anymore. Sure we can win a few games here and there or conjure up an upset on a good day but the Broncos of old are dead and buried, we’re no longer a powerhouse club and we’re no longer feared by rival teams. I also don’t think it’s a coincidence that our downfall occurred the season after Locky retired, his guidance on and off the field was second to none. He was our real coach right? So while other teams continue to improve this year my guess is that the Broncos will mostly get worse, fatigue and injuries will only increase and the impact of being beaten by “weaker” sides will eventually kill morale. We should probably expect the same for 2014 as our recruitment program is completely non-existent. The only positive I can think of at the moment is that nearly every journo in the article predicted the Cowboys to make the top 4 so if they are wrong about that then maybe they’re wrong about the Broncos.
