This time the glass is half full.

Colin D. | January 9, 2012

Let’s try optimism this time, Broncos fans.

If the typical Broncos fan was right about the chances the team had of toppling the Steelers we would be talking about off-season moves this morning.  Instead, we are discussing next weeks’ Divisional Playoff game with the New England Patriots.

Can we just believe in our Broncos this time?  Can we save the talk about the future of the team, what peices it needs in the draft, which free-agents it might want to take a look at, etc, etc, for the off-season? 

Really, Broncos fans, we should be ashamed of ourselves for the way we behaved last week.

When did we become such pessimists? 

Our glass may only be half-full but it’s certainly not half-empty.  There’s plenty of reason to be hopeful and there’s nothing wrong with believing that the Broncos can go to the Superbowl.  Yes.  I said “Superbowl”.

The Patriots shouldn’t scare us.  If Tebow throws the ball the way he did against the Steelers there is absolutely nothing the Pats’ terrible secondary can do to slow him down.  Sure, they beat us the last time we played them and yes, that game was at home.  But the Patiots got themselves a bye and they are going to be rusty.  The Broncos have the same chance to beat them that the Steelers would have had.

The Ravens shouldn’t have anybody shaking in their orange boots, either.  They’re just as beatable as the Steelers, maybe more so.

Fans, be optimists this week.  Be proud.  Thump your chests and be fans.  We’ll have the entire off season to worry about what comes next for our favorite franchise.  In the meanwhile, we get one more week. 

Raiders fans are wringing their hands today.  Will their new GM keep the head coach?  Chiefs fans are wondering what Romeo Crennel can do.  Chargers fans are griping about Norv Turner and AJ Smith.  Broncos fans are talking out the next game. It’s a wonderful thing.

Enjoy it, embrace it and believe.  BRONCOS ON THREE! ONE…TWO…THREEEEEEE!  BRRRRRRROOOOOOOOONCOS!
