Close calls

Between 1972 and now, there has only been a short time frame where the Broncos were in danger of having three losing seasons in a row. That was from 2007-2011.

After going 7-9 in 2007, the Broncos had back-to-back 8-8 seasons in 2008 and 2009. After one of the worst seasons in team history, the 4-12 2010 campaign, they went 8-8 in 2011 and won the division and a playoff game.

Is the current team the worst?

The current team is definitely in that conversation.

Despite a poor record, the Broncos have made strides under first-year coach Vic Fangio, but the jury is still out on him and the current regime as to whether or not the current leadership will turn this team around.

If you ask me, the team that was under the watch of Vance Joseph is the worst in franchise history and it’s not even that arguable. They were putrid.

However, when the main competition for being the “worst” was from an era when a team was crossing over into a new league, you know this team is bad and has been bad.

The Broncos have made history for all of the wrong reasons over the last three years and if significant improvements are not made in 2020, significant changes need to be made and that includes every significant position in the organization.
