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.

Oh, I get that... and I think once you peel out the Elway/Manning years, you look into the Plummer, Griese, Cutler, Orton, etc years and compare the Home vs Road records for those teams.
I think BlackOp started off with the recent commentary with 1971 as the starting point... is that because Denver was so terrible in the 60s that it doesn't matter? The elevation didn't change.
