Mile High Report
The beatdown over the Dallas Cowboys is ancient history by now, so the Broncos are turning their attention to another team from Texas.
And although the Texans’ record is 3-4, they are playing at home after a good win over the Niners. So as this week’s ultimate fan, TheGueroLoco, reminds us in his fabulous UFG — the Texans shouldn’t be taken lightly, but the Broncos have the personnel to win this.
MHR – Rumor has it you live near a bunch of Cowboys’ fans. How much fun has this week been for you?
TheGueroLoco: It has been an absolute blast! I got to spend all of Sunday night trolling Cowboys fans on social media, which never gets old! I moved to Texas 22 years ago, and since I have lived here, the Broncos have never lost to the Cowboys. The last time Dallas beat us was Sept. 10, 1995 (John Elway was hurt, for the record). The next time we play will likely be in 2029. So by the time they beat us again – IF they ever beat us again – it will have been 34 years.
Another great thing about all these wins is that most of them have not been close. Cowboys fans can’t use their usual excuses about the refs, or Dak choking. It’s just good ol fashion beatdown after beatdown!
I am a big fan of memes, most of which I confiscate and redistribute (lol), but a few years ago I made this one myself! Feel free to steal it!
MHR – One of our new post-game stories at Mile High Report is to ask “what did you learn about the Broncos this week?” It’s a great question, so what did YOU learn about the Broncos the last few weeks?
TheGueroLoco: I do have some good news for Cowboys fans! I know y’all hate Jerry Jones as much as just about any fanbase can hate an owner. Well guess what? Jerry Jones doesn’t own the Cowboys anymore. The Denver Broncos do!
Okay, I’m done trolling Cowboys fans (maybe).
The one thing that has been true about the Broncos in the Sean Payton era is they beat the snot out of bad teams. That looked to not be true after back-to-back tight victories against New York’s not-so-finest. (I blame both games on the London trip, but I digress). On Sunday we got back to being the team that thumps bad teams. That’s a good thing, but won’t matter come playoff time.
My biggest takeaway is that when the players execute Payton’s game plan, good things happen.
MHR – The Broncos’ offense finally looked in sync on Sunday – or at least like it picked up where it left off in the fourth quarter against the Giants. Is it too soon to believe that this offense can be something special this season?
TheGueroLoco: Probably? Look, the Dallas defense is absolutely atrocious. On top of that, they were missing arguably their two...
