So, yeah of all the teams on the road since 2003, Denver boasts the 6th best winning percentage. That totally validates the notion that they historically kinda suck without the home field advantage.

You'll notice several of the same teams ranked in the top 10 of each link, but yeah --- there's that Denver thin air bias and overwhelming advantage.

Same # of home wins as NE and PIT is only 9 beind them.
I think you are missing the point. Yeah, NE and Pit have home win percent similar but slightly higher than Den. Difference is, and what the argument is, that Den did it with teams that aren't nearly as talented as NE and Pit. Den did it with guys likeCraig Morton, BUbby brister, Brian Griese, Jake Plummer, Diabetes boy, Tebow, etc. Not exactly a bunch of hall of famers there. So, the argument is that Denver gets wins at home with less talent due, in part, to the advantage the home players get from a physical standpoint, due to the high altitude.
