KUSA - The first two Broncos games of the season have definitely had our hearts pounding.
Watching football can bring out the best and the worst in all of us. But, we all act a little differently when our team brings it down to the last few seconds.
Here are nine types of Broncos fans:
The Never Give Up Fan
Even when the Broncos are down 32-3 with 2 minutes to play in the fourth quarter, you aren't giving up hope until time runs out. You still remember when we were down 24-0 against the Chargers and scored 35 unanswered points… so anything is possible, right?
The Quiet Fan
Sometimes things don't go the way we want them to. And when that happens, you aren't one to yell at the TV. Instead you just get quiet… really quiet. It's safer this way, trust us.
The Stats Geek
We all saw the 12 yard pass, but you are the one who knows that means Peyton Manning is 25 yards away from the next record. And not only that, you also know how many more games it took Favre to get to that point and what the weather was like on the day he did.
The Yeller
Broncos games are exciting, and we applaud you for getting so into them. Seeing big hits, near-catches, long runs, and dives can sometimes cause us to make some loud and occasionally unnatural sounds… we understand. We just hope all of your neighbors are Broncos fans as well.
The Multi-tasker
Just watching a game isn't good enough for you. You have about five screens open to see what all the experts, comedians, and your friends are tweeting about every play. Not to mention your fantasy stats, highlights, injury reports and maybe Game of Thrones too… just for good measure.
The Channel Surfer
It's not that you don't care about the Broncos enough to watch every play, it's that you care you much you also need to see how every one of their competitors is doing as well. That's what commercial breaks are for, right?
The Play Caller
We all know the coaches much have been hired for a good reason, but sometimes the best call just seems so obvious, and you don't know why they don't get it. But you aren't going to be shy about telling the TV exactly who you would have thrown the ball to.
The Casual Fan
You live in Denver, so you watch the Broncos. It's fun to get together with friends, eat, drink beer and cheer for Peyton Manning. Oh and Thomas, he's really good too. And don't they have that guy with the reality TV show? Actually I don't think he's on the team anymore. Either way, go Broncos!
The Snarky Fan
Let's face it. Being a football fan can sometimes be frustrating, really frustrating. So when things start not going your way you aren't going to sugar coat things. If Manning's passes are wobbling more than a Weeble or the offensive line has more holes than a sieve, you're going to call them out on it. But in the end you always come back to your team – after all you're a Broncos fan through and through.
BONUS:
The "I Can't Watch" Fan
Logically, you know it can't really matter. But it seems like they always does better when you're not watching. And what if it did make a difference? Even just once. Plus, actually watching the play as it happens it really, really nerve-wracking. And those flowers really needed watering anyway...
Which type of fan are you? Did we miss any?
