Specifically where does this Denver team APPEAR to rank all time. Peyton is having his best season yet and this team looks they're four levels above all competition. As of right now what teams have been more dominant then the 2013 Denver Broncos throughout history? I haven't seen as much football as most of you but I can't recall a team that has been this dominant.

That being said I hope we destroy them on Sunday.

I'm not trying to be argumentative but they don't rank. Yet.

They look great 4 games in but the season is very young. We'll see how it all factors out.

I think you can ask how does Peyton rank but the team question seems premature to me.

i say they dont rank alltime. When you have a league that basically gave Peyton the keys to this league after the patriots playoff loss. Because their CBs were too physical. this league is a joke now.

About where the 2011 Packers ranked at this stage.

Funny how the season turned out for them.

I dont know if you can rate them yet. But I do love the discussion of dominant teams...usually the two that come to mind are the 72 Dolphins and 85 Bears. But I will tell you a team that doesnt get the recognition they deserve for dominance.....the 76 Raiders. They went 13-1 and stormed through the playoffs and routed Minnesota 32-14 in the Super Bowl. They dont always get the credit because during the regular season they played a lot of Sundays still drunk or at least hungover. And they did just enough to win on many Sundays.
But that team was dominant and clutch.

That's funny you say that.

I keep thinking about that team when people talk about this Bronco team.

I picked Denver to go to the Super Bowl but just ask Bart Scott if anyone can be beat.

Not even close to the top 25. Now, if they go 19-0 this season, then lets talk. Bears, Pitt, SF, Dallas, Raiders, NE, GB, Buff(yes, you read that right), Miami all have had more dominant teams.

For me:
1a. 85 Bears
1b. 72/73 Dolphins
3. 89 SF
4. any Dallas SB team
5. 04 Pats

Add: Denver hasn't exactly been tested yet either. They have played three at home and their toughest opponent is a weak Balt team. As a matter of fact, I only see two potential losses left on their schedule....at NE and at Hou. Den should win both anyways, especially the Texans game. I don't think KC can score enough for a win but in KC, it is possible. Realistically, NE has the best shot at beating them IMO. Even if they go 15-1, that schedule is pretty weak. But, they can and score at will.

I think they beat both the Pats & the Texans based on their play so far.

I'm not sure what to make of the Texans. Overrated?

One of the best September teams I've ever seen. But nothing matters besides winning in the playoffs. And something tells me they're not winning the SB this year.

The usual suspects are getting the blame...Kubiak(HC), Schaub(QB) and the secondary. They are screaming for Yates to take over :)

I think they are overrated yet still better than Dallas. They seem to like playing for FG's as well as some say.

I never liked Kubiak as HC. He goes soft way too soon in games. No killer instinct.

And Schaub seems like he's stuck in cement. Maybe they need to make a change.

If they do, I would go with Keenum. Watched most of his college games and I think he could do well.

I don't think they'll make a change unless he gets hurt. They probably should at some point if they don't improve but I don't think Kubiak will.

They rank with the other teams that started 4-0


Where else would they rank?

Manning has something ridiculous like 16 TDs and no ints. They move the ball at will. The Patriots are 4-0 right now and I don't think anyone would compare that team to this Denver team. Just imagine the storybook ending if Manning keeps up something resembling this dominance, wins the Super Bowl and rides off into the sunset. Would be the first QB to ever do it with two different teams. I'm salivating (and I'm sure the networks & the league as well) over the prospect of a Luck v. Manning AFC Championship.

If it's not us I'd like for it to be Denver this year, maybe it's jumping on wagen to some extent but you have to admire their performance thus far.
