Let start acting like we belong here and have this mindset. The pats and chiefs in their prime feared no one. We also fear no one. Let these lower seeded losers come into Mile High and try beat us. They should all be petrified. /rant over

The Pats in their prime feared Denver. Tom Brady has a losing record against us.
If I recall correctly, Tom Brady as a Patriot has a losing record against the Broncos in Denver but Tom Brady the player is tied up because we lost to the Buccaneers in 2020. Including games where Denver faced Tom Brady at his house, he’s 8-6.

ts is true
it is known
The prophecy is foretold
fantastic username, Mr. Lahey
Frigg off Julian!
In Denver they did.
All we need to worry about is not shooting ourselves in the foot and having slow starts. We just can't beat ourselves.
Oh shit it’s the Reddit cops! Obviously we match up with certain teams better than some. It’s gonna breed conversation.
People on a Broncos forum when you talk about the Broncos: 😡
Yeah fuck those people tbh.
Whats wrong with fans doing that? Lol. We are not the coaches and players.
Ha seriously. Fans are bored this week with the Broncos off. Let them discuss hypotheticals and have a little fun with it.
I don’t know how you can be bored with these wild card games, but I get your point
honestly I don't think anyone is bored. the games have been great. I'm enjoying watching all these teams battle it out and I've over here chilling, stress free. feels great and on every broadcast, they've. mentioned the broncos. even this philly/49ers game they are talking about Denver. I'm looking forward to pats/bananas
I know lol, this is so stupid. Who gives a shit about mindset, we’re not out there playing
It’s the same people that tell you to “focus on winning this week, don’t look past anybody” like if they think into the future it somehow impacts the team lol
Thank you I’ve always hated that idea. Like bro no one cares what we say here, go fucking nuts lol
It's a fan pissing contest. "See? I'm a better fan than you."
Nothing we say here has an actual effect on what actually happens. Also, that's literally the only topic that is relevant this weekend.
A pissing contest? I piss Orange and Blue. Maybe I should see a doctor about that though.
I'd say with the AP teams being released, that's a little extra to discuss.
I'd say it's more than likely the shitbirds subreddit have been talking about who they want to play too.
Sorry buddy. I looked that up on webmd and it says you’re gonna die. Or turn into a raiders fan. RIP
Id rather die
Same.
Exactly lol or the “We can’t overlook X team, why are we overlooking them?” Shit, maybe the players/coaches can’t but me being a random fan/redditor can 😂
I mean I agree with OP, being scared of competition is bitch shit. Grow some balls. If our actual team had the mindset of this sub we’d be worse than the Titans.
Whoever comes to Denver is gonna get punched in the face, that’s the mindset.
You can not fear anyone and still prefer to play a certain team. I've seen people want to play the chargers to knock out a divisional rival, or the Bills for revenge last year. Fans like discussing about the team. You acting tough doesnt impress anyone.
I’d rather “act tough” (which I’m not) than be a “omg this team is so good I’m worried 😱” little bitch. I just don’t mince words.
No wonder some of our players shut off their SM lmao
Who I want the Broncos to play or not to play has 0 impact on how they play. You guys are so funny thinking your mentality as a fan has an actual effect on the game.
Players read what fans say online my guy.
Fans affect players whether you want to acknowledge it or not. Keep giving them material to prove you wrong I guess.
They're not on Reddit man you can chill 😭
I’m chill bro just speaking facts lol
Considering it’s Denver, I wouldn’t be surprised if a few players had Reddit.
Get off my lawn ah post. There are def favorable matchups. Nothing wrong with talking about whioe the games are happening while we dont have a team to root for becsuse we are so handsome and good at football
Shut up
"act like we belong here" you not on the team dawg 😭
Get tf out of here. Let fans be fans.
We don’t need to have any kind of mindset. I’m just a guy sitting on his couch watching sports. I’m not on the team. It’s fun for fans to have discussions around matchups and I’m going to keep having them.
Classic Rando!
What a weird thing to be triggered by.
Of course some matchups are preferable to others.
Heaven forbid people talk about it on a reddit dedicated to the frickin team.
You can think some teams are better match-ups, but all the "I hope Team X wins because I'm scared of Team Y" posts were chickenshit.
After the Jags stomped the Broncos, I definitely didn't want to see them again this year. I'm glad they're out. Now the whole AFC is open.
Lot of unforced errors that game. Wouldn't have happened again.
No they just got their ass beat by a team playing better football.
They got aided by a lot of Broncos penalties and were outgained by 100 yards by the Broncos. That's not an ass beating.
I mean did you even watch the game? At no point did the Broncos look remotely competitive and were never even a threat to win the game. That's an ass beating. Even Payton said as much after the game.
Yes, I saw the game.
Ok weird
This is exactly what I meant. You get it.
You say it like every discussion is about who is an easier matchup
Maybe some people want revenge for last year's playoffs against the Bills
Maybe some people want to win against a division opponent and beat Herbert for the first time in the Nix era
Discussion is fun
Uh, because we want to have the best chance to win. This isn’t a pro team playing a college team. It’s a pro team playing other pro teams. On any given Sunday (almost) any team could beat the other team. Stop acting like being the #1 seed means we’re miles better than any other team. Sheesh…
Not only that, but lets actually see the Broncos win a playoff game. Also, everyone is too quick to talk about the SB.
Seriously. Win a playoff game first. Super bowl would be amazing but having the 1 seed doesn't guarantee shit.
Sorry to butt it in as a non bronco fan but respectfully think that’s a normal thing even when you’ve been there,
point of winning the one seed is bc in the nfl any playoff caliber team is a tough out so you’re benefited the best matchup at least in theory . Beyond obv home field advantage
NUMBER FUCKING ONE!
I mean... It's still worth discussing lol. We don't need to talk about injuries from the teams we play, yet we do because it impacts the game.
If you don't want to talk about all things Broncos in r/DenverBroncos, there are other subs
We’re not in our prime. We’re still figuring out who we are. Matchups matter in the playoffs and you’re crazy if you think they don’t. We have home field advantage and we’re in a good spot, fans are fine to want the easier team to continue advancing.
Exactly. People thinking we'll cruise to the super bowl because we're a top seed must be 12 years old. Do you guys not remember 2012?
Isn't that the year the world ended?
Cooper's alt Reddit account found
I want the Bills for redemption from last year. I want the Pats to settle that stupid ass public us vs them. I want Seattle in the Superbowl because even though we never have faced them i feel like they deserve to have their ass kicked by us. #PerfectPlayoffSeason
Love the confidence here. Totally on board.
Im here for it all. Its not the prettiest season but it was one hell of a season. I havent been more happy (albeit stressed the fuck out during) after most games this season than i have been in a while. Its been a win. They will continue to win. And ill be here cheering them on. GBBN. GBDBSB60
Except that we DID actually face Seattle in Super Bowl XLVIII (2014). We were trounced 48-8. Time for some revenge!
hate to be a downer but we’re not the pats and chiefs in their prime… (yet) i’m still pretty damn scared of the bills that we’ll likely have to get through to get to the sb
Bills last year was a foregone conclusion. We had no business being there. This season, things are a bit different.
Yeah, we are better this year and the Bills are worse.
I am kinda glad we don't have to play Jacksonville. They did kinda pummel us at home last month.
A lot of things went their way that game that I don't think would happen again, but we don't have to care anymore.
Now we gotta beat the Bills!!!!!
Bring anyone on!
I see nothing wrong with fans discussing who they think is an easier matchup for their team. Who doesn't want the easiest matchup for their team that increases the odds of their team advancing onto the next round? You obviously want the more favorable matchup.
That said, regardless of who the Broncos face next week, they'll need to be on their A game from here on out.
I Bo-lieve the Broncos have what it takes to go all the way. Here's hoping they execute and get there - remember, any given Sunday.
Go Broncos!
This stuff matters and I promise Sean has a preferred opponent and cares just as much as we do, regardless of what he’d say publicly
There's nothing else to talk about since we don't play this week and have to root for (or at least against) somebody in these games. Having meaningless debates about which team we'd rather have advance at least helps fill an afternoon. Well, that and watching other AFC teams get eliminated while we rest up.
I would prefer to play the Chicago Bears on the road in Santa Clara.
my thoughts exactly.
We’re not the Pats or Chiefs in their prime. Were the 3rd or 4th best team in the AFC that took advantage of an easy schedule and a couple miracle comebacks to win 14 games instead of 10 or 11. Matchups absolutely matter for us
Who are the 2 or 3 teams in the AFC better than the Broncos?
I would argue Buffalo, Jacksonville and New England personally. Houston seems to have an argument as well but we beat them in Houston
Both the Bills and Patriots lost to some ass teams, and the Patriots had a cakewalk schedule to boot. The Jags we don't have to worry about anymore.
Bills or Chargers
Some of us just like good storylines, Revenge game vs the Bills, Defense on Defense (Texans), 2024 QB class rivalry (Pats) and... honestly there's nothing overly interesting with us vs the Steelers.
I feel like we historically give Rodgers problems so not scared of them. Seems impossible for us to match up with them as I don't see both us and them advancing to AFC Championship
Always a corny post like this every season lol
I still don’t know who I want to win the night game
Yeah no kidding. Who would you prefer?
I'll do what I want
Agreed. Now based on the schedule history of the #1 seed in '23 & '24 the Broncos SHOULD have the Sunday game next week no matter who they play. I'm selfishly hoping for that so I can watch
How dare Broncos fans talk about football
I mean there are teams I’d rather play next week. But it doesn’t matter if it’s the chargers or bills, it’s going to be hard. We can beat both teams. We can lose to both teams.
Patriots
My mindset is there are no bad teams left. So who cares, they play who they play, and whoever it is will be good. That's what the playoffs are.
Raiders. That's who I want to play. 👍
😂
You're a dork hahaha
🥸
Exactly. With that being said, who would you rather play?
Watching this chargers-pats game… yo I’m not particularly nervous for any matchup. We can compete and beat any of these teams.
THIS is the mindset we should all have! Totally agree!
we’re facing the bills. I have no worries that we will win the game. they’re as vulnerable as they’ve been and are limping into these playoffs. Time to throttle them!!!
We have so much dead cap on russ and are in year 2 of this team, we are far from our prime haha
All this feed does is cry and complain. 🤷🏻♂️
There's nobody we can't beat in the playoffs today. That said, there's nobody in the playoffs going into next week that can't beat us, and that's worth acknowledging. This is the playoffs, every team is bringing their A game, and Broncos need to buckle down and do the same. We defeated ourselves last year with penalties and mistakes, and we've improved significantly since then, yet we still are prone to error if the Jaguars game taught anything. If Broncos take lessons from that game, from everything we've done this season, we very well have a shot at the bowl. It's not promised to us, we need to work for it, but nothing is out of reach.
I agree with this. It doesn't matter who the Broncos face. Everyone will choose the other team. I hope SP shows then all the shit that is posted and shown on TV before the Divisional round next weekend. The Broncos are the only team in the playoffs that actually deserve to say " Nobody respects us".
Fully agree!! This Defense is top notch & Bo has the arm & football IQ to take us all the way! With that said… it’s gonna be the Bills!
I wouldn't be so confident. The Patriots have beaten 1 good team all year, could very well be the chargers.
You want to be the best you have to beat the best. no fear. We all should’ve wanted Jacksonville because they’re the only ones to whoop our ass.
you guys are crazy man. no matter what's going on, you find a way to put the chiefs in your mouth. FTC over and over again.
In the summertime, I told this sub they were washed and all you guys did was tell me how good they were and it was crazy to put them down.
now, they are eliminated, hurt, washed, no money, yet you still can't stop having them in your mouth.
FTC all day
Would have rather faced anyone but Bills
Only thing that scares me about the Bills is that the refs always hate us and without Mahomes playing then Josh Allen is the next best thing for league to help win
The dick sucking Allen was getting by the commentators (mainly Mayock) was very Mahomesish.
All I know is every team looks beatable today in the AFC (Texans pending)
[removed]
If we are fraudulent, what does that make the rest of the afc who is worse than us?
[deleted]
They were on the brink of playoff elimination before mahomes injury.
Pack it up and take your ass over there and you can talk about their postseason then.
The chiefs when healthy this year couldn't beat this "fraud" team. Not sure how that helps your case.
I guess we’ll see when we play them in the postseason this year then. Oh wait…
Why is a Seattle fan here cosplaying as a Broncos fan “we are frauds…”? Weird. Then they mention the Chiefs like they’re at all relevant and went 0-2 vs us lmao
Cause their projecting how they feel about their own team lolol
Regardless of how confident I am in the team, it’s interesting to think and talk about who you’d prefer to play
Not even a Broncos fan. Foh.
