Just pisses me off how they let the foundation of this team go to hell.
What in God's name are you talking about?

Let's get real Denver is much better team on both sides of the ball.
There offense looks leaps and bounds more in sink than the Pats
Hey its the truth.Sorry.
Offense and defensive lines.What in God's name are you talking about?
Absolutely... Name itI don't agree.......wanna bet??
Because Denver has mortgaged their future on it. The Patriots haven't. Denver has maxed their cap so they are screwed if someone gets hurt, and they will definitely lose some key players next year.
Don't think they can retain both Demaryius Thomas and Julius Thomas.. keeping Von Miller will also be an issue because exercising his 5th year option will be a hefty hit on the cap.
I think Welker will be the odd man out- his cap hit doubles after this season.
If memory serves correctly, Julius Thomas and Demaryius Thomas are still on their rookie deals. There's two high production, low cost contracts alone.
Dude I'd be happy with an offensive and defensive line.
Ill take the negative rep whatever hit and say it:
Kraft is cheap.

May help answer the question did the Broncos mortgage their future.
I don't believe that this is necessarily true, Pats Psycho. I think @Miguel has gone over this a bunch of times, in terms of breaking down the pacts from Denver, and the fact that they really aren't mortgaging their future for the present nearly as much as most people think..
Denver has 31.5 million dollars in available cap space for 2015 (at the moment, obviously).
The deal they gave Talib was an example of them doing so, but if I recall correctly, it's a backloaded deal, so it won't ravage the cap until presumably after Peyton retires.
I think the difference between the Pats and the Broncos, comes down to the fact that the later are committed to winning with Peyton Manning. After he leaves, I fully expect Denver to revert into an average team that will be in rebuild mode until they can find their next QB (their core will still be built around Thomas and Thomas). Now, that's not to say that the Pats FO hasn't tried to assemble a winning team, simply that they have a vision of sustained success that extends beyond the Brady-era. And I believe that this approach that frustrates many on here, since we'd all like to see Brady win his fourth, and a number of people here have doubts about the FO's ability to develop an adequate successor.
Stop talking out of your arse.Because Denver has mortgaged their future on it..
The advantage Denver has is it was bad in 2008, 2009, 2010, and average in 2011. They had early round draft picks and multiple first round picks in drafts over the 5 years leading up to Manning arriving. This allowed them to draft elite talents like D Thomas and Von Miller. These are players we are never going to draft because we consistently draft at the end of the round.
I understand your points. I'm just pointing to the fact that Miguel has gone over this a lot, stating that Denver did not mortgage their future for the present anywhere close to what people think.
And the following FAs, among others:
- WR Demaryius Thomas
- WR Wes Welker
- TE Julius Thomas
- DE Terrance Knighton
- CB Chris Harris
- RT Orlando Franklin
