Woody Paige thinks that the Broncos beating the Bills portends a Super Bowl.

MITCH BLATT

Woody Paige’s column today in the Denver Post says this:

Omen? The last time the Broncos thrashed the Bills in their first home exhibition, they would go on to win the Super Bowl. Amen.

Anyone who has ever seen Mr. Paige on Around the Horn wouldn’t be surprised that he would write a whole column about the Broncos winning the Super Bowl based on the fact that they beat a 4-12 team in preseason. For anyone who is stupid enough that they actually need to read my explanation in order to see why Paige’s argument is so nonsensical, you can read my explanation of why Paige’s argument is so nonsensical in the full post:

Okay, I don’t even know when the last time was that the Broncos played the Bills in preseason–let alone in their first home exhibition–and I’m not gonna waste my time looking it up–but needless to say, it would be impossible for them to beat the Bills in their first home exhibition most seasons.

Paige did acknowledge the fact that the Bills suck later in his column, but the fact that the Bills suck is actually mostly irrelevant, too. It’s freakin preseason, so what’s more important is whose team’s second- and third- team is better.

Just to make sure Paige is actually being serious, I’ll quote some other lines in his failed “column”:

What more? Can he [Elway] lead the Broncos back to the Super Bowl in his role as executive vice president?

So, was the victory over the Bills a portent of triumph? The Broncos did play solidly on offense and defense.

The Bills did outrush the Broncos 126-101 yards (5.3 yards per carry to the Broncos’ 2010-like 3.2-yard average).

He’s quoting the yardage totals of a preseason to analyze the Broncos strength. Yes, Paige is taking the preseason game seriously and the potential of the Broncos even making the playoffs seriously.
