Prior to the NFL season, many of us slighted the and their head coach . Heck, we thought that team is only good for maybe four or five wins.

No , wanted out, and McDaniels was a power hungry dictator trying to run the show in Denver. How could they even win the ?

On behalf of all of us who doubted Denver, let me grab a nice plate and some shiny utensils for my big heaping, helping of crow.

Now, they’re 5-0, Marshall is a model citizen, McDaniels is a genius, and is making everyone forget about Cutler.

That wasn’t the only boat we all missed. The , , the quick emergence of the San Francisco 49ers, the lack of emergence of the , the fall of the …

I can go on forever.

So, to all those that I and many other experts doubted in the NFL before the season: WE’RE SORRY! OUR BAD!

And I’m sorry for not having week 4 awards up last week. I was on bye week.
