Coming up. That's not the Bengals, Browns and Raiders.
Your probably right. However:
(1) They could manage to pull off at least one of those games, which would be fine with me so long as it's not against us. We haven't always shined at Mile High.
(2) Even if they lose all 5 and go 3-5, that's better than most people expected. The pundits were predicting almost the same kind of collapse as Atlanta had 2 years ago when Bobby Petrino walked out in mid-season. I think a lot of people would have thought 4-12 was an accomplishment, so starting 3-0 is a big feather in Josh's cap.
It's nice to see, as it should buy him a little time. He's made some mistakes, but much of the mess in Denver was not of his making. Maybe folks will cut him a little slack to see if he can right the ship. Winning even one out of the next 5 and being 4-4 at the midway point would be a huge accomplishment.

Don't get me wrong, I am rooting for him (within certain boundaries). I liked him anyway but he sold me when he said he wore the Bronco hoodie "to pay respect to where I came from".

Pass rush? Uneccessary when you have 72 CBS playing.
Lbs? What for, we have no pass rush, they gonna chuck it at our lousy CBS...all 72 of them bums
Denver's 3-0, and could lost the next 8 in a row before matching up against the Chiefs. It's a very difficult schedule.

I'm going to say they finish with 7 wins at best.
There are three games they should win in their division since both Oakland and KC suck right now plus Washington. That makes seven wins. The way their defense is playing they are going to have one or two more wins against teams they shouldn't beat.
They haven't really played anybody yet. But still, congrats to McDaniels. At least he's had three weeks to get the proverbial monkey off his back. It's just too bad that the monkey is going to jump right back on in the coming weeks.

The most surprising team are the Bengals, taking down quality opponents.
They should be 3-0 right now, beating the Packers, Steelers, and losing on a miracle Broncos play.
The Broncos have beaten the Mangini Browns and JaMarcus Raiders, hardly anything to go crazy about.
That being said, I do think McDaniels is the best ex-coordinator to leave the team since Romeo Crennel and Charlie Weiss.
Tom Brady: "I told [McDaniels] I liked his hoodie he was wearing. He said it was in honor of where he came from. He had been a great coach here and he moved on for a great opportunity with a great organization. Like most guys, when you learn under the best coach probably in the history of the of the NFL, you're taking a lot of knowledge with you. I have no doubt he's going to be a great coach - expect for the game he plays this year [when] I don't care."

Usually, it's the players who have the nicknames, not the coach.
Not so with the Broncos. Josh McDaniels has more nicknames than he does defensive backs, and many have evolved from what he wears on Sundays. You know, of course, where we're going with this.
Yep, we're talking hoodies.
Hoodie Junior. McHoodie. The Unacoach. McDaniels has heard them all. His favorite? That would be none of the above.
"McHoodie? Why do they have to say that stuff?" McDaniels said. "I don't really care, but he reads it."
"He" would be McDaniels' old boss, Bill Belichick, who has turned hooded sweat shirts into part art form and part fashion statement. Along the way, he converted McDaniels into a hoodaholic.
"It's ust where I kind of got used to doing it," he said. "I don't like wearing those big puffy things they give you in the wintertime. I'd rather put layers on under the hoodie so it doesn't feel cumbersome."
So it's a weather thing, huh? No, says McDaniels. It's more of a whim thing.
"I never really plan on when I'm going to wear it," he said. "That's the truth. I actually put something else on when we went to Seattle, then changed. I don't know. I just felt like wearing it. It's like when I wore it to work this morning at 5:30. It's a comfort thing for me."
Mike Shanahan was more of a golf shirt guy in the summer, then moved on to sweat shirts in the fall before hauling out the heavy stuff, usually a Broncos-logo parka, when Old Man Winter came calling. But then, he never had a fashion forefather like McDaniels had in New England.
"I know people tease him about it, but I think Bill wears it pretty good," McDaniels said. "He's the right type of guy to wear it. I think he's kind of got that rock 'n' roll thing going on. He's like a rock star out there."
Bill Belichick, rock star. If you say so, Josh. Boring Bill no doubt will haul out the hoodie on opening day and keep it on 'til the Patriots' season ender. McDaniels may, too, but he promises one thing: no cutoff sleeves.
"That's a Belichick thing," he said. "Only he can get away with that."
Then and now
Mike Shanahan: There's a reason Pat Bowlen once referred to Shanahan as his coach for life. Shanahan is the winningest coach in franchise history and is one of six coaches to win back-to- back Super Bowls. As for his sideline apparel, he usually started with golf shirts, then moved on to sweat shirts and parkas, depending on the weather.
Josh McDaniels: He oversaw an offense in 2007 that made confetti out of the NFL record book. He helped turn Matt Cassel from benchwarmer to solid NFL starter. But still, he's 33 and never had a head coaching gig until this one. Be certain of one thing about McDaniels: We're going to see a whole lot of the hoodie. No tattered sleeves, though. He'll leave those to Bill Belichick.
