Broncos Not Ready for Playoffs

Denver has been near the top of the league all year.  That doesn't always mean they are ready for the playoffs, however.  Broncos have gotten by all year with spotty QB play from Logan Thomas.  However, in week 15 of a sim game Thomas went down with a hamstring injury that will likely sideline him for the season.  "Logan wasn't great, but he was the best of bad options" Broncos Head Coach Scott Beas said.  The Broncos turned to Mr. Wilson in week 16 and it was painful.  Wilson tried to cost the Broncos the game but lucky their defense wouldn't let it happen.  A 90 yard pick 6 and two other crucial INTs sealed a 14-10 victory over the Jags. 

 

For the Broncos to win in the playoffs the defense will likely have to be lights out.  Week 17 will likely see a two QB system between Wilson and Matt Scott.  Whoever plays better will likely get the first round playoff starting job.  Coach Beas is trying to get to the offseason just to get a better QB.  Rumors have floated about possible trades for Cam Newton or Aaron Rodgers but the Broncos have seemed hesitant to trade away some top WRs and young defensive pieces.  Time will tell, but right now the Broncos don't forsee a long playoff run.
