The 2008 Denver Broncos season was the franchise's 49th season for the team (their 39th season in the National Football League). They improved from their 7–9 record from 2007 but failed to make the playoffs with an 8–8 record. On December 30, 2008, two days after the regular season ended, Mike Shanahan was fired as the Broncos head coach.
Famous quotes containing the word season:
“When we reached the lake, about half past eight in the evening, it was still steadily raining, and harder than before; and, in that fresh, cool atmosphere, the hylodes were peeping and the toads ringing about the lake universally, as in the spring with us. It was as if the season had revolved backward two or three months, or I had arrived at the abode of perpetual spring.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
