Every WRONG Decision The Broncos Have Made Since Winning The Super Bowl

You forgot to mention that Lynch was also benched in the XFL as well. Possibly the first QB ever to be benched in four pro sports leagues.

This is content we want, not that we deserve. Thank you, Perna.

What Brandon needs to understand is that this is year 7 of a 35 year rebuild. Things aren’t going to turn around overnight.

Honestly the Goff/Stafford trade has to be one of the best win/win trades in NFL history. McVeigh got his "fuck them picks!" ring, and now the Lions are using those picks to dominate the NFC North. Feelsgoodman.jpg

I think Perna needs a hug. I hope the fire sale happens to rebuild the team and culture.

Have to correct you Brandon, Hackett cant be the worst head coach in the last decade. That award goes to Urban meyer by a landslide!

This video reminds me of how bad the Chiefs were before Andy and Alex showed up. We were having very similar disasters year after year. Then Andy came and set us down a much better path.

That the Broncos failed to hire the son of their greatest coach who was also the hottest coaching prospect in the league at the time is really amazing. What are the chances that your all time franchise coach's son turns out to be a great coach? That never happens. It actually happened to Denver, and they were too stupid to take advantage of it. Wow.

Perna is starting to feel what it’s like to be a Raiders fan. The difference is we LOSS in the SB prior to our nightmare

As a Seahawks fan, the day I heard about the Russell Wilson trade, I knew the Broncos had been absolutely fleeced. Not quite up to the Herschel Walker level, but not a million miles away from it, either. Back when Seattle was in the AFC West, losing regularly to Denver, I was hoping we could get revenge someday. But at this point, it's beating a dead horse, if you'll excuse the expression.

As a Bears fan, this is the place we've been since Super Bowl XX 🥴

I'd love for you to do an autopsy of the Panthers since Super Bowl 50, since it seems our fates both took a nosedive after that game.

I 100% stand by the fact that if the Broncos drafted Josh Allen they would have completely botched his development And I think if they had put more effort, patience and focus into developing Drew Lock he could have been something

I feel bad for any football fan that has never come across this channel. Great work as always, Perna

As a Broncos fan, this made me sad But damn good work Perna. Damn good

You can always revel in the 2013-14 season, when the Broncos had the greatest offensive season on NFL history… and went on to score 8 pts the Super Bowl…

Love that Perna uploads this the same day as Frank Clark is supposedly in KC for a physical after trolling the Broncos and getting let go.

Paxton Lynch is just a hilarious story. I don't follow the Broncos much but he was the starter for the '23 XFL Orlando Guardians, the head coach accused his backup Quentin Dormady of leaking the playbook to opponents (he wasn't) but Lynch sucked so much that Dormady became the starter anyways after a few games. Also the Guardians won 1 game the whole season, and that was when Dormady was playing

You hit the nail on the head early on, Perna! This team consistently deluded itself into thinking, "we're just one guy away" after Manning retired, but the issues ran a lot deeper than that, and have since compounded. The fire sale needs to start after the GB game!

The frustrating thing is a lot of these decisions went against fan’s wishes. We could see the disaster unfolding after every single unpopular decision after another.

This video should have been atleast an hour long

CJ's 40 yard dash was rated M all of sudden, what a legend 😂😂😂😂😂

Paxton Lynch signed my Broncos phone case at the 2016 training camp. As he did so I said to him "autograph from the future of the franchise!" His response was a wry chuckle and a "well, we'll see about that." Pretty much knew right there what would happen.

As tough as this was for you to make, this is a genius potential series. Do a video for each team and that’s years of content!!!!

While we have had some rough spots in between. I feel grateful I've been here for and got to see all 3 superbowls. Moved to Colorado as a child from Alaska. Got into them in 94. Ed McCaffrey is my favorite Bronco. Things have been rough, but we have an amazing franchise. We'll get back to excellence again. Keep up the great work, Perna. I've been watching you for a few years now. Love the content. You're 100% spot on

There was an interview with John Lynch after he took over in San Fran where he talked about how he lets other people assess safeties because he felt that he was too close to the position to make a good, objective assessment regarding that position. I wonder if that was partially what went wrong during the Elway era.... because of his years as a QB (and possibly because of his years as a QB in an era where being a QB is significantly different than what it is now), maybe Elway was not equipped to be making good judgement calls on quarterbacks and should have let somebody else look at them and give him suggestions.

Love this. As a long time Bronco fan, I found my new favorite channel!

I'm a 9er fan. McGlinchy has always struggled. Nobody was complaining when the 9ers let him hit FA.

Balls deep into bad decisions.... Sounds like my 20s.

In fairness, Lock really wasn't given a chance. He got saddled with a HC that didn't give a damn about the offense, and an OC who didn't care to develop players. Too many people in the Broncos organization, as well as fans, look at Mahomes and Herbert and judge all rookie QBs by that standard. No one wants to take the time to develop a player, they just want buy one. It has been a death by a thousand cuts.

Nathaniel Hackett was not a play calling OC at Green Bay. Anyone who thought he was qualified to call plays should be fired

This is great. I think for fans to understand the current state of the Broncos you have to go back to 2015 and start with the failure to resign Brock and the reasons why that happened.

I'll always believe that Joe Ellis vetoed bringing back Mike Shanahan and then later hiring Kyle Shanahan. Things would have been much different in Bronco Country with the Shanahans. Well done, Perna, well done! I'm still scared of balls deep though. 😎

I found you weeks ago thru the algorithm; based off my fantasy football and long format video essay content preferences. Quality content! Im so happy that you have found an amazing outlet for your pain. Keep up the good work!

I remember the first reactions to the Russel Wilson trade, and a lot of peoole were saying that denver fleeced seattle, and I felt like the only person who though Denver gave up WAY too much for a QB coming off injury

I wear my ‘I’m dying inside’ t shirt under my Von Miller jersey every Sunday now. Its an effective way to inform my wife and family how the game is going at the time. Needless to say, the Jersey has not lasted long every week 😂

That Detroit/LA trade is looking to be one the most mutually beneficial trades in history.

I would love to see a video in this style for the Chicago Bears since either they appeared in the NFC championship game in 2011 or the Double Doink. You could do both.

I’m a bears fan and it breaks my heart to see how kyle fuller did in Denver. Dude was awesome here

This was awesome now do the Patriots. But seriously you should make this into episodes about other teams who fell from Grace and how their organization fell apart.

You know it's bad when I forgot we even had Flacco at all 😂

Thanks for this video, I now have so much more to talk about in my therapy session. I tried to forget all of this crap...

I enjoyed this. I would enjoy this same deep dive on other struggling teams right now

Brandon “ they should of hired me “ Perna

On part of that formula from the super bowl is the same reason why we've become the newest revolving door of QBs; We keep trying to mimic what we did with Manning. We gave Flacco a try, that fumbled. Then we brought Keenum in after one miracle season, fizzled. We tried Teddy, concussed beyond life. Sanchez didn't even get the chance. We constantly try to find some veteran QB to lilypad us over steps and get us to success. We can't do that anymore and Wilson is proof of that. Take a QB in the draft, develop him, stick with him!

No way this is 26 minutes, is this a first of 10 part series 😆

Old guy here. Used to watch a lot of pro football when I was younger, but not so much anymore. My brother likes the Chiefs, and I’ve always been a casual fan of KC too. This is so reminiscent of what the Chiefs went through in the last 40 years. Win a SB in 1970 with hall of fame players, then those players retire and just cannot be replaced. Same thing with coaches and GMs. Then came the draft of 83. Elway was in that class as was Dan Marino, which the Chiefs could have had. No, they went with Todd Blackledge, who in hindsight, turned out to be the worst of the 6 QBs in that legendary draft. All those years, the Chiefs had really good defenses, great special teams, but castoffs and backup level talent at the QB position. I remember one year, I believe it was 1993, or 94, the Chiefs won the West with a 13-3 record, had a first round bye, and home field advantage, needing only to win 2 games, at home, to go to the Super Bowl. Guess what ? They lost the divisional game to Denver, of all teams, 14-10. The Chiefs didn’t sniff playoff win for another decade or so. I believe it was 22 years until they actually won a playoff game, they were 0-7 at one point. All because they just needed that one special player at the most difficult position in football. Any team that has been great, wins playoff or SB games, has had that player, or better yet, a core group of talented individuals at the same time. I started watching in the 70s, but remembered the Packers of the 60s. Legendary coach in Vince Lombardi, Qb Bart Starr. Miami Dolphins, great coach in Don Shula, Bob Griese at QB, Kiick, Czonca, Morris at running back and no name defense. Only team to go 17-0 undefeated season and win SB. Late 70 early 80s, the Pittsburgh Steelers. 80s had SF 49ers with Joe Montana and Jerry Rice. 90s Cowboys with the triplets. Then almost 2 decades of the hated Patriots with Tom Brady and Gronckeski. It just seems to go in cycles. The thing I savor is that the Broncos pretty much owned the Chiefs while they had their great defenses along with Elway and Manning. Now KC has a generational talent in MaHomes, very similar to Elway, along with a great HC in Andy Reid combined with a pretty good GM in Brett Veach. It looks like the Broncos get to suffer with their bad decisions and miss picks, just like the Chiefs did for 20 plus years or so. In fact, I believe KC has a 15 game win streak against Denver, which is unheard of. Some of the games have been close, but MaHomes is clearly better than any QB that Denver has, let alone the league. Oh, once MaHomes begins his descent into mediocrity, and Denver FINALLY drafts a great QB, and patiently develops him, then the tides will reverse. But that won’t happen for probably another 10 years. In the meantime, all of Chiefs Kingdom will revel in the Broncos misery. Such is life in the NFL.

Since Manning, they’ve wasted 4 seasons with top 10 defenses because of bad offenses. Russ is top 5 in TDS right now even with last week’s game & the defense is dead last by a mile

it's wild to be a Cardinals fan and think "Man, I'm glad I'm not a Broncos fan. Those guys got it rough."

Why has it taken so long so content to come out like this? Thank you so much!

Very good video. Shared it everywhere I could even though I’m a Raiders fan. We could make a similar video about the Raiders but it would have to be twice as long 😂

The panthers and Broncos received 50 years of hurt after going to Super Bowl 50

As a KC native and lifelong Chiefs fan, the Broncos (at best) mediocrity since 2015 ended has made me so joyously happy. But dang, I can truly see the pain in Perna. I hope it gets better, brother.

Great summary - just missing the Melvin Gordan debacle (plus the release of Phillip Lindsay!)

Having been a Broncos fan for 4+ decades I often don't agree with the younger generation's assessment of the team in the last few years but Brandon's assessment is SPOT ON and he makes that PAINFUL pill easier to swallow with the humor!!!

As a Niners fan, I thank for Randy Gregory 😁, even though we lost last week, Gregory was a bright spot and your welcome for McGlinchy.

Brandon, welcome to what Dolphins fans had to deal with since Marino's retirement (minus the SB wins). I sincerely hope Broncos fans don't have to go through decades of bad teams like we had to. Good thing is Denver's former ball boy McNerd is now righting this ship for them.

I loved this. A video like this should be made for every team since their most recent suberbowl win

Absolutely great video. Thank you Brandon

How bout them Chiefs? Anyway, that was a low blow. Love your videos man. All love from KC!

Also worth mentioning that they decided to immediately move off of Tim Tebow upon signing Manning, which limited them from having a young QB on the roster capable of keeping by them competitive. Sure Tebow didn’t turn out afterward, but not investing in the development of your 1st round franchise QB, who revitalized the franchise after and impressive playoff win the year before, despite having the ultimate mentor for him, definitely cost them considering the QB purgatory they have been in since Manning left.

Love your content, u need a show on a major network, keep up the good work entertaining us, and I'll keep your Broncos in my prayers

I am not a Broncos fan, but I have a couple of friends who are huge Broncos fans, tattoos and all. Glad I found your channel. Love people with a sense of humor and you have a great one. Thinking about buying Dying Inside ts for my friends, but I am not sure how they'll take it.😀

My guess is that the Broncos tank, and with the 1st round pick they select, a kicker. Or safety. Maybe a RB. Not sure if Perna would survive that.

You’re welcome for that 2015 AFC Championship win. Sincerely, a Patriots fan SCREAMING at Belichick to kick field goals in the 4th quarter and now references that as the beginning of Belichick’s decision-making decline which now finds our team as arguably the worst in the NFL in 2023

Fantastic analysis. Well done. Thanks!! GO BILLS!

That Shanahan/Mcvay/McDaniels part was just crazy 😂

Hers what I can tell you as a long time colts fan. Manning was so good that he made everyone else in his offense look way better than they actually were. Same thing happened in Indy. We thought our team was so great until we lost Manning to injury for and entire season. Then all of the sudden we sucked and it because the team wasn’t as good as we thought without manning. Same thing happened to Denver.

Making me feel really good about being a Browns fan. Which could be its own video. Ill trade you Russell Wilson for Johnny Manziel and Greg Little (couldve had Julio Jones) for Jerry Juedy.

Wow! I had no idea one could cover every mistake Denver has made in 25 minutes or less... This is Brilliant! It's also Excruciatingly PAINFUL to listen to because it's obviously TRUE.

Reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Homer bought the Broncos 😂

I need to find someone that does this kind of stuff for the Giants 😢

I just got into football and my friends told me to spin a wheel to decide what team I have to root for. It was this close to landing on the Broncos but it landed on the Chiefs instead. God was gracious to me it seems.

I have been a draft junkie for several years, mostly because my team was scared to draft a QB for three decades. I paid close attention to every team in the division and the fact that the broncos fans were even sold on the one player away myth for so long just boggles me.

Wow this is fantastic and puts a few things into sharp perspective: 1. Denver's overreliance on what got them their last SB ring - snatching up a veteran QB and selling the farm for 'proven talent'. 2. And on that same vein - ignoring the task of actually identifying talent (at the time it seemed like the 'smart' and 'safe' way to go, but in hindsight it seems more like a failure to heed the longtime wisdom of putting in the work to identify potential talent - maybe because it was just too hard?) 3. Management's ability to hold a grudge and allow that to affect decisions that shape the team

I almost feel bad for Bronco fans everywhere. Almost. Living in Denver since ‘88 as a Seahawks fan, I’ve endured plenty of abuse from the Denver fan base and to see it all come back around is glorious.

As a Chiefs fan I've enjoyed this 16-0 😂 As a football fan the only person i can blame is Elway because he refused to get out of the way and build anything up in the background behind Peyton. I personally would love to see a competitive AFC West again.

This is so good , Perna. Like, Nobel Prize For Sports Literature Good!

@thatsgoodsports Perna first off Congrats on the Channel I've been watching for a while now your def one of my favorite channels. I wanted to request you do a balls deep on coaching trees

The best thing to come out of the Broncos downfall is Perna's content... And my wallet from betting against them, Broncos country let's ride!

As a Chiefs fan, watching these videos since 2016 has been a pleasure LMAO

When I saw the title, I thought to myself: "Self, this video is going to have to be at least one and half hours long. Don't click on it". I don't know how you did it, but you snuck this video in just over 25 minutes. That's talent right there.

When DeMeco Ryans said "No Thank You" to the Broncos and all the Walmart money, that should tell you all you need to know about Denver.

I’ve been watching since russel was traded ima Seahawks fan 😂😭😂so I’m always here to watch you suffer bro!👏🏽👏🏽

As a lifelong chiefs fan, this warms my soul

Your videos this year have been the best thing on the internet. 🏴‍☠️☠️💀☠️🏴‍☠️

"which really made me forget my time in Denver". Cold Perna. Very cold. 😂

Worst decision was loosing to the Chiefs 15 times in a row. Second worst decision was deciding to miss the playoffs every year sense 2015.

That was one painful deep dive. If the Broncos are truly going to tank/get the younger players experience, hopefully the players they pick up in 2024 can start a more solid foundation rather than just trying to go for a bunch of quick fixes.

Thanks for this great look back. I felt like being more depressed before watching the team lose to the Packers this weekend.

The most honest man in sports. Props big dawg! 👏

Wow, that is eerily similar to what we have done in Carolina.....

As a Dolphins Fan I laughed my ass off when you guys took Vance Joseph and Jawaan James. Joseph was our coordinator for one season and had statistically one of the worst Dolphins defenses ever. Jawaan James spent so much time on his back I could never figure out if he thought he was a turtle or a prostitute…

The number one resource the Broncos are missing, is Pat Bowlen. The Dolphins, Redskins, took several years to recover from the death of their owners.

Brilliant work, where is the best place to reach you?

Man, the Broncos fight song is “Glory Days” by Springsteen. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I can’t wait to go through a SB run with this channel. Found this channel after SB 50.

I only watch colleg football but this guys is so fricken funny I have to watch the videos. Keep up the great work man.

Manning winning the Broncos that SB they shouldn't have won while on one leg, getting benched for Brock, dodging a teabagging scandal at TN, pumped to the gills with HGH, having one of the weakest QB SB performances - then tongue kissing Papa John after shouting out Budweiser in the post-game was the evidence used against Denver in the subsequent ruling by the Football Gods that the Broncos are to serve a 50-year sentence of mediocrity.
