Kiszla vs. Gabriel: Did the Broncos improve their roster enough to make the NFL playoffs?

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 17:10:26 GMT

Kiz: You don’t pay $4.65 billion for a football team to finish in last place. I trust Greg Penner and the crazy-rich Walton family got into this sport to win. And if new Broncos ownership wasn’t in a hurry to win now, why go to the trouble of hiring veteran coach Sean Payton, who will be one grouchy old man if this team makes him look bad on Sunday? So, in my mind, anything less than a playoff berth for Denver this season must be considered a failure. Is that fair? Or unrealistic?Gabriel: Whoa, Kiz, welcome back! Summer break is over. Football season is here. Or, at least training camp season. But you need no ramp-up. Right back into it. Not only is the franchise acting like one that expects to win, but every year there are teams that make the jump from bad to at least good enough to nab a wild card bid. Such is life with the kind of parity the league touts (OK, Kansas City not included). So while I think Denver could have a productive year under Payton and narrowly miss...
