The Denver Broncos have been applying Band-Aids to their post-Peyton Manning problems for three straight seasons with ever worsening results. After winning 12+ games in each of the four seasons Manning was in Denver, they have put together 18 total wins in those three seasons since his retirement.
The lack of patience from the top down in the organization is an important reason why the wins haven’t materialized since 2016. Instead, new Head Coach Vic Fangio preached patience in an interview he gave Woody Paige of The Colorado Gazette.
“If I say I’m not going to be patient, you and everybody else will think I’m going to make some knee-jerk short-term decisions that won’t have long-term benefits,” Fangio said.
