Lost another season opener. So let's see what the Bronco did to achieve this.
Well, they released McManus after 9 seasons and now have a kicker who missed an extra point and a gimme field goal today. 4 points, we lost 17-16. Oh, by the way, McManus was 4/4 on Xpoints and 1/1 on field goals (45 yds) for the winning Jacksonville Jaguars.

As to the actual team, they are stuck with Wilson's expensive contract, it is telling that Pete Carroll was happy to trade him away. Additionally, a mediocre front office,
This was Terrill Davis's comment :Davis he felt the Broncos "quit." He compared this start to the Broncos' 0-4 start in 1999
"I hate to say this, but I was hoping that (Dolphins coach) Mike (McDaniel) would go for it (73 points, an NFL record). He owed it to his team to be historical," Davis said.

The Kansas City Chiefs have beat the Denver Broncos 16 times in a row! The Raiders? 14 times. Total domination. Because of a last place schedule, the Broncos are playing Green Bay next. Might have a chance to actually win that game.
