The rating was literally for optimism.
I hear ya, it should be.
AFC West is STACKED and Broncos have lost to the Chiefs 13 times in a row or some shit
Team was missing Good Coaching...Broncos have a stacked roster that was mismanaged and injured...Russ will be a plus
Hackett is the unknown, but he has to be an upgrade from Fangio...Fangio is a DC only and couldn't handle being a HC one bit, uninspired and unprepared is a bad HC combination
A First year coach(Hackett) doesn't often do that well, especially in the AFC West
10 wins would be a good year, and that record could still miss the playoffs
I like Bills to win the AFC this year, Allen is in his Prime and a Beast.
Rams and Packers will be playing in next years playoffs for the NFC spot.
