Don’t stop now, Sean Payton. There’s only one way you can win back Broncos Country with a straight face.And that’s by losing.A lot.If 2023 was salvageable, you’d have fired defensive coordinator Vance Joseph before he could board the bus at Miami Gardens.You didn’t.It isn’t.NFL rosters — paid, proud professionals with contracts — do not capitulate by 50 unless they’ve quit. They don’t give up 70 unless they’ve quit.There’s too much talent in every pro locker room, even the goofy ones, for a team to get rolled like it’s an SEC-Sun Belt game in early September. You gotta want to whup somebody big. You gotta want to get your backside handed to you on national television.In college, at least, the team that has its doors blown off can bandage its wounds with a check from its assailants. Payton doesn’t need the money. Neither does Greg Penner. Or Rob Walton.Dolphins 70, Broncos Monroe 20.Just lose, baby.Related ...
