Just put a bet in for the Broncos to win the Division and may double down for the conference. A bit of a homer pick being a Seahawks fan myself, I am saddened that Russ is gone. I have had the privledge of watching some really awesome games, including a Super Bowl win and a devistating loss. All in all I have nothing but great thoughts about Russ as a Seahawk and he will always be a Hawk. I specifically remember the 49ers 2013 playoff game and the 2014 Packers playoff game. I never watched a game that I didn't think Russ could mount a comeback. I never thought we didn't have a chance. I just can't say enough of how much I enjoyed watching him over the years. Anybody else share the same sentiments about Russ or maybe another player from your team that may have been traded, released, or retired?

I think Denver is in for some disappointment thinking they are going to get the multi-dimensional Wilson. His stats the past couple years still look good because the Seattle defense put him in a pass only mode. Seattle traded him when they could get top-value.

We shall see. Last year Russ had his lowest rushing total to date. With that said he also missed 3-4 games and it is possible, although I believe he came back too early, he made "business" decisions by not taking off. I am not sure. I am willing to think last year was just an anomaly. First time he got injured, first time no playoffs, first time he doesn't eclipse 200 yds rushing, etc. Still threw 25 tds to 6 int. Just one year before he threw 40 tds and ran for 500+ yds. His injury had nothing to do with his mobility so that is a positive. Had he injured an ankle or hammy or whatever then maybe I would say there is concern to the multi-dimensional phase. Overall he not only upgrades the offense but the pieces around him should benefit him as well. I think Metcalf and Lockett are both better than any wr or wr's the Broncos have but that's not to say that Wilson cannot or will not elevate these wrs game. Certainly the run game is much better and the OL is better. The defense no question is better. Wilson is no stranger to playing in a tough division. NFC West has been tough for some time and those divisional games were brutal. That's just my two cents.

Gotta see what he can do with a functioning offensive line..He's lucky to have avoided getting killed behind 5 years of completely shitty O lines in Seattle.
I don't see how they can't compete at the top level now with Wilson ..Denver has the parts IMO.

Tough division/conference

Their weapons aren’t as great as people have said they are . Still a fairly meh offense

I think they’re a fringe playoff team

Signed a few guys on the defensive side of the ball over the past few days but still have a few more needs...
I'd guess they go big on defense in the draft too.
It'll be an interesting year in Denver.
