Are the Broncos following the Rams formula?

The difference is that Denver wasn't already a competitive team. They are talented but not good.

LA was only a couple of years removed from a SB appearance, were competitive and insanely talented.

Wilson makes then a SB contender but I don't think I would consider them a favorite.

Buy (as in sign big name FAs) your way to the Super Bowl. With picks not always working out, is it better to get proven commodiaties?

A lot of teams try but few can pull it off. If you dont have most of your money tied up in mediocre players that is. You have to have enough young quality players that you've drafted to allow you to go out and get a few hired guns to make a run. The problem is you cannot sustain that approach as evident by who regularly makes it to the bowl.  I wouldn't bet on the Rams repeating what they did last season. It just doesn't happen in this era.  But that doesn't stop every team from trying to find that formula. Most are happy to get just one chance and that's what they build for. The easiest route, well relatively speaking, to get a shot is to go all in like most do when they think they are close.  The problem is you have to be a well built team in a short amount of time or have been building for years to pull it off. Very few have the patience or the stomach to do what it takes to build a solid team that is a regular contender.  It seems our owner is one of them.

Remember Philly’s Dream Team? Most of it will play out that way when you try to buy a ‘ship. This ain’t the MLB. 
 

Denver 15, TB 20 and LAR 21 are hopefully anomalies. SB’s are much more satisfying when it’s homegrown and earned rather than bought / purchased. 
 

also, old man yells at cloud. Who gives a fug.

When the Broncos acquire McCaffrey and go from worst to first, we will all be wondering what if...

Why would they go after mccaffrey when they have Williams and Gordon? Did Marty hurney sign on as GM?

Gordon will be a free agent and they have yet to move on signing him to a contract. Waiting to see what they can do in trade negotiations. So, they obviously have their target set on a RB valued higher than Gordon.

      Hmmm... not a good start. Maybe I'm reading too much into this but after the guy who has been carrying your offense expresses frustration with his sudden lack of use and your HC just blows it off and confirms they haven't even talked, your PR team decides to use the guy who should be his backup as their poster boy hyping this week's game? Yikes. Hard not to interpret that as another slap in the face.

      For some reason this is becoming a disturbing trend in the NFL. Teams are shutting down one part of their offense without causation from the opposition. Shane Steichen did it an overtime loss against Kansas City last week with the best back in the NFL. Pete Carroll allowed Chip Kelly to completely abandon the run game against Dallas the week before he was fired in Oakland as the OC. Matt Lafleur abandoned the pass instead choosing to rely on a bottled up run game when we clearly were having issues with the passing game. Big brain play callers some of them HCs are what the league wanted along with high powered offense and these dudes are making some of the dumbest situational calls I've ever seen. At least most of them are young and can learn, Canales included. I remember Norv Turner trying to throw the ball around the yard in a certain SuperBOWL, going in at halftime down 13-6. Emmitt Smith said get me the d*mn ball and took over in the 2nd half. Remember Kyle Shanahan in the 2nd half vs. the Patriots? This shite happens to the best and the brightest. We are just actively seeing it play out in real time just like Atlanta and Dallas fans before us.  Also, not saying Canales is going to become either of those, just begging/hoping for our sanity he gets his shite together if he's going to be our HC.
