Here's the thing. Having the 5th ranked defense doesn't mean anything. Especially when taken out of context. So, your answer is 8-8.

Now, if you are asking how bad our record would have been if our defense was as pourous as the Broncos...that's a separate argument. We were about five notches above the Broncos defense last year. Much like their offensive system and talent is about five steps above ours. They aren't running Moss, Randle El, Rabach, Jansen, Heyer, Fabini excetera out every week much like we aren't running the Kenny Petersons, Niko Koutivides', Dre Blys, and Marquand Manuels of the world out on defense every week.

But yeah, at least try to make a strong contextual argument. As SS pointed out, you aren't going to enjoy it here if you don't find common ground very soon.
