This is what being a Nuggets fan in the 1980's was like.
You can't ever compare one week to another in the NFL. There are so many factors that play into games.
The Chargers who you seem to think are really good because they played the Cowboys better than we did, just went into Oakland and got manhandled by a Raiders team the Broncos took to the woodshed.
The Chargers are a good home team, Cowboys are an awful road team. Chargers probably didn't have 5 defensive starters out. There are just so many factors that go into each and every week. Do you honestly believe Romo does what he did if Bailey, Miller, Harris, Woodyard and Ayers play in the game. Not a chance. They may have scored some points but not that many. You don't have to have a defense that is all world if your offense is capable of scoring 40pts on any given day. You have to have a defense that is capable of making enough plays to give the offense the ball so they can do their thing. Our defense can do that once we get healthy. Which should hopefully be sooner than later.
People forgetting just how dominant Von Miller is. He would have been after DPOTY, could have won it. Was the 2nd best defensive player last year IMO. That Dallas game is a different one with him in it, Romo made some really nice plays scrambling. All tho our secondary was simply broke in the 2nd half.
Von Miller and Champ Bailey will drastically improve the defense. Not to mention a healthy Woodyard and a healthy Chris Harris.
Von is the best defensive player in the AFC outside of maybe JJ Watt, even you block him and focus on him that leaves less resources to block other guys like Phillips or Ayers or Wolfe.
Champ may not be as fast as he used to but, he can still cover top flight guys, which leaves DRC to cover 2nd WRs not #1s.
The Broncos are probably going to go 6-0 without their 2 best defensive players suiting up for one game, we are a scary team because of this. We might not go 16-0, but we will win a vast majority of the games we play in.
Take your 5 best starters off of any team and see what happens. I'm not worried
Issue was Peyton Manning, Julius Thomas, Wes Welker, and Demaryius Thomas are all considered part of our 5 best starters.
1. Petyon Manning
2. Von Miller
3. Ryan Clady (IR)
4. Wes Welker
5. Demaryius Thomas
