The most bizarre, if not schizophrenic teams in the NFL this year has been the Denver Broncos. They have been completely unpredictable. There were weeks in which they got completely blown out and weeks in which they completely dominated the field and their opponents. They had victories over winning teams and have been defeated by losing teams and teams that they were suppose to outright dominate. I don???t believe there has been another team with as many highs and lows. I don???t believe there is another team that one can really compare when considering all statistics and factors. One may say the Ravens or the Bengals but they never dominated a game and/or several games as did the Broncos this year.
More specific details and stats to come???

They started the season with two straight wins over the Bills and the Raiders. They then lost three in a row. Then they beat the Steelers. Then they lost two more games. They then beat the Chiefs and the Titans. They then lost two more in a row. They got another HUGE win against the Chiefs beating them 41 ??? 7. They have now had two straight losses. The team has been nearly impossible to predict. Everyone seems to think that Cutler is the QB of the future. Is it him? I don???t think so. Although they have had injuries, they have overcome them with productive players. Just look at their running game. When they have had a significant loss, they have been able to produce an equal if not better back-up. If you consider the coaching staff, etc., the Broncos should be in a better position then they are if not in the playoffs but as I said, they have been the most bizarre team this season.
Note: I am specifically speaking of expectations, "on-field" performance, coaching, etc... I'm not speaking about all the off-the-field antics. That's not football. From a pure (on-the-field football stand point ) the Broncos have been the most unpredictable team. This is a sports TD, not a media one

Again, I will just say that I look at football and watch the sport for the sport in and of itself. I do my best to stay out of MEDIA DRIVEN attention to a team that really has nothing to do withthe "game" itself. I think that everyone expected Denver to be a better team. One that was more consistent and one that had a lot of strengths on both sides of the ball and all around them.

Of course what has happened to the Falcons is unusual, but it's not football. It's everything else our society seems to focus on. The next thing we'll see is a reality TV show about a football team; who better to star than the Falcons.

Again, we're talking about two very different subject matters. Honestly, I don't think you made a worthy counter argument. You're not speaking about fundamental football.

If you picked a team such as the Vikings, Ravens, Dolphins, Bengals, etc..., I think you would have been sticking with the TD format (football).

Perhaps we just view the sport differently??? I keep personal/individual antics out of the game, especailly "off-the-field" antics or on-the-field antics that are suppose to get media attention.

Let's talk pure football!!!
