My heart is broken and my soul is crippled. You are my Love Light, my beautiful girl. I would give anything to carry this disease for you; I’d give anything to switch places with you. I love you more than you can ever know.

I love you, Rider.

… not only speaks to how elite their D is, but is also a testament to the team’s culture; a culture that saw no offseason drama or distracting contract holdouts. The Broncos have a great culture. And a great culture can help offset the negatives. This team is 8-2 and has yet to play their best ball.

BUT… The Broncos don’t have a single bad loss. In a league where the Browns can beat the Packers and, yes, the Raiders can beat the Patriots on any given day, that’s pretty impressive. And the fact that the Broncos are winning despite not playing their best on offense…

DEN has an elite defense and they are winning games. But they are playing with fire in an offense where they too often look like the Gang Who Couldn’t Shoot Straight. That shit may work against bad teams, but try that against KC and we’ll find out fast how unsustainable this way of living can be.

No matter what happens next, I will be right by your side, running your soft ears through my fingers, while humming the many silly songs I’ve made up about you over the years.

You know I got you.

Forever.

And I love you.

Forever

And ever.
