Where does 2020 fit on this list?

The 2020 season is not officially over. The Broncos still have two games to play and if they manage to win them both, they would finish at 7-9, the same record as last  year.

But that loss to the Bills was hard to take. Yes, the Bills are one of the best teams in the league right now. But to allow them to come in and just run you over on your own turf like that should be a massive wake-up call.

But will it be?

This season has been bad. You can’t say it’s the worst season in team history, but it’s in the discussion for one of the worst.

Ask yourself this. If you had to rank these seasons in terms of having to relive them all over again, where would you list them? Many of these seasons would not be fun to sit through again but there are at least a few on this list that I would relive over before this one.

It’s been that bad. It’s been painful. It’s been hard to watch. And while many Broncos fans will point to things like a pandemic and a lot of injuries, that’s allowing excuses for poor performances.

Because there are no excuses for getting beat 48-19 at home. There was no excuse for the performance in Las Vegas or the loss to Atlanta.

This season also included a game in which the team threw more intercepted than it had completed passes. Regardless of the reasons that happened, would you want to sit through that game again?

It’s been a bad year and it is, in my opinion, certainly one of the worst in team history. Will 2021 be any better? There’s only one way for the team to go from where it’s at and that’s up.
