AFC West still belongs to the Broncos

The Broncos run the AFC West. Quit begging for our sloppy seconds. The Super Bowl Champion Denver Broncos have won the AFC west the last 5 years, at times not even thinking about it. And despite the enduring hopefulness of fans who will never know true greatness, nothing will change. Even with the retirement of one of the greatest players of all time. In ever. Let me explain.

The Chiefs had their first playoff win in 20 (? I don’t care enough to check) years. Giggles aside, this is a team that finished the regular season 10-0 (or so, still not checking). Then they beat the QB-less Texans, and looked really really good! And then… they did what every non-Chiefs fan expected, defecated the bed against the Patriots. It was a clear example of being outclassed.

Unfortunately Broncos fans can relate to being outclassed by the Pats, with the Tebow vs. Tom Brady in the playoffs moment, the game Tom Brady punted! on third down!!! It was sad. It’s who the Broncos briefly were. Thank you hurricane McDaniels, And who Chiefs fans hope they can one day be. The Chiefs are similar, somewhat, to Peyton Manning. They will dominate piss-poor teams during the regular season, only to realize they were premature yet again 🙁 .

So let’s move on past the delusional Arrownuts.

The Raiders. Ohhh boy. The Raiders. The Al Davis funhouse of horrors no longer shows up on draft day, too bad.

Let us all take a moment to pour out some purple drank to number 1 overall draft pick JeMarcus Russell. Those times were good. Even if the Broncos didn’t always benefit, it was always pleasurable to watch that Pirate ship full of biker gangs with make-up burn and sink. Good times.

So now you’ve made rational draft picks and free agent pick-ups! Your QB might not be addicted to anything but fist bumps!!! Good stuff. Good Stuff. Kalil Mack! He’s Von Miller, but is going to be soooo much better despite not accomplishing half as much as Von(yes I remember the 5 sack game against the Broncos, PM me. Lets talk). I’m sorry, that I’m no sorry, to say, you’re still the Raiders. You still have a stadium where poo overflows the home locker rooms when it’s feeling frisky. You are still in the stunningly beautiful poop-opolis that is Oakland.

Moving on.

The Chargers?!?

You’re still here?? And in San Diego??? Wow. Woah. WOAH.

You do have the best QB in the division, I will give you that. And the best Bolo ties, BY FAR. Beauty personified, no doubt about it. One problem though, you have senior bolo tie and not much else… even after injuries are healed. I personally believe the 2015 Chargers will go down as one of the best 3 win teams in history, much of it thanks to injury. But the tallest midget, is still a midget. Don’t worry about the mug on the top shelf, and be quiet midget.

There are a lot of technical aspects to why the Broncos have the biggest and winningest balls in the division, and we’ll get to those. But right now I want to do all you Chiefs/Raiders and Chargers a favor and let you know that no, you still won’t be taking home the prettiest girl in the bar. Even with the sheriff out of the picture. It’s cute to hope, really, but the fact remains the Broncos have won the only Super Bowls in this division for decades and the order of the food chain has not and will not change.

Go Broncos.
