I am actually going to be hoping for a Donk win next week. I think that the Fade are the better team and that the Donks will fall away as the season progresses, so the better outcome for this game would be the Donks over the Fade.

:-) Okay. I'll bite. Please elaborate. I have got to know, how in the world, does your homer mind think that the Donks are "built for the playoffs" and will get better as the season progresses?

About time you came back from hiding under your rock.

Oh and what you said is...wrong.

Denver ended 3-5 last year as the year went on. They have had 2nd half collapses often.

I think Denver kicks the shit out of Oakland

We couldn't run the ball or stop the run last year. This is a totally different, and much improved team.

I wasn't hiding. :-)

I normally update this thread with twitter updates but the only thing anybody is talking about on twitter are the anthem protests.

It really doesn't need an explanation. Elite defenses thrive in the playoffs.

By your own admission... you just posted that McCoy is utilizing the RB/TE more than the previous OC.

I said teams would start to to plan against tendencies after a few games...and the Bills decided to make Semenboy beat them. He threw 2 INTs...and over 40 passes.

So YES!...Yes the tape. :-)

Denver's run D looks better but their pass defense has regressed.
[Reply]

I think Justin Simmons has hurt us. Most of the big plays we've given up can be blamed on him. But other than 1 or 2 plays a game, the pass defense is as good as it has ever been.

You have to make the play-offs....so yes, it does need an explanation. :-)

Nearly 2/3's of the Donks remaining games will be on the road after the 5th week bye...and all 3 road divisional games.

Other than the bad plays they've been good
[Reply]

Most of the bad plays are just missed assignments. Stuff that can be fixed. Simmons is smart and talented, he just hasn't played a ton.
[Reply]

You really think that the pass defense hasn't regressed? Take a look at the statistics vs. this time last year. Look at passing TDs given up, passing yards allowed, deep passes given up and number of sacks. I could be wrong, but I'm betting that nearly all of those numbers will be up from previous years. But the run defense is better. I believe that the new Donks staff has decided to focus on stopping the run and had has to sacrifice pass defense in order to do it.
[Reply]

Not for the most part. They can still lock up anybody. Once they get the missed assignments ironed out they could be even better than they've been. Simmons can be a stud.
