Who cares how Denver is remembered in 10 years? They won the fucking Super Bowl, and Spike, jman and Bronco fans everywhere get to enjoy the ever-loving shit out of it, just like we've gotten to do with the Pats and Sox these past 15 exquisite years.

For the record, I think they'll be remembered as a team whose epic defense overcame a lousy offense -- a defense that got them to the Super Bowl by shutting down the defending champ and GOAT QB, then won it by stomping the NFL's first 17-1 team led by the MVP QB. Nothing cheap about it.

They were the one seed. Beat 2 hof QBs on the way to the Super Bowl and Stomped a 15-1 team in he big game and you have them as the worst since 86? Idk about all that.
In 10 years, this team will be remembered for exactly what it was - a team with a great defense that carried a shitty Manning to a title. Sports fans have incredibly short memories when their teams are not involved.

Me: let me try to bait spike into a response so I can flip the, "why do you care" script.

SoSH: Durrrrrr, I need to be heard on this message board *fart*

Spike: *Fry's "I see what you did there" meme.*

Once again, Denver wins and we all lose. Thanks.

Not really sure why people are trying to discredit the Broncos' victory. It's a bad look, fellow Pats fans.

We've spent years - literally years - defending the Pats' run of dominance and legitimacy of their Super Bowl victories. Three of them were by three points and one was by four points. The truth is, usually, in the post season, it comes down to a play or call either way that decides the game.

They won, we didn't. Every time someone tries to diminish the validity of their win, it makes us look as bad as all other fanbases all of these years that have done the same to us. It also makes us look like a bunch of sore losers when we have a team that always acts anything BUT that way.

Finally - they won that Super Bowl by more points than all of our Super Bowl victories combined. They had a dominant defense and it won them a title - we've seen this time and time again in the NFL, so there's no reason to be so angry about it.

Congrats on last year, Broncos fans. Onto 2016.

Their defense made tremendous plays and won them a championship. I think you remove Peyton Manning from the situation and more Pats fans let this go, but due to him being there the discredit will roll as he was a shell of his former self and still gets the credit from many Mediots for the SB win. That defense was absolutely dominant and exposed every offensive line they faced. Silent snap head bob or not, they destroyed tackles, created penetration up the middle and just man-handled most other positions on the field.

Hats off to them, it sucks horrifically due to Peyton getting a win as he threw wounded ducks throughout the run. He's done, fork sticking out through the center of his chest done but he was able to not create enough turnovers to let his defense win them the games. I thought his throws were SO bad they were good, like the Eephus pitch they threw the timing off of the DB's expecting some velocity and allowed completions.

As an aside, I unashamedly love CJ Anderson(the only Bronco I've liked in my football history). I love the underdog story and he brought them much of their Superbowl run on his back including making the play to get the #1 seed. Without him the offense was an even hotter mess then they were and likely would have struggled to even get 100 yards in most games.

I put them somewhere between the 2012 Ravens and the 2005 Steelers.

Pittsburgh without Antonio Brown and 75% Rothie was banged up, and our o-line was what it was... And then Carolina.
