PokerFink's 2007 NFC Rankings (Preseason)

[Jeff W]

I don't think Wade is too bad. Buffalo was 6-10 the year he before he took over. His biggest mistake was being seduced by Rob Johnson. That, along with the fluky terrible year Buffalo had on special teams in 2000 sunk him.

Re: Broncos. Saying that he wasn't as good as Shanahan afterwards is an example of exalting with faint criticism. The Broncos were 8-8 the year before he became head coach, but they were lucky to have such a good record--Pythagorean win total of 5.9.
