We'll be alright. We have a defense that can keep us in any game, and if our offense shows up we are basically unbeatable.
Yesterday's game was just flat out ugly... they had it all on the line, yet no desire. Sloppy and poor execution. It was a decent first half, but too many stalled drives in the red zone and the wheels flew off the whole damn thing in the 2nd half. Meanwhile, the Patriots showed in HOU that they still have the burning desire to win with anyone.
They remain the team to beat.
Denver is void of true leadership quite honestly, esp on defense. That's the big difference - they have a ton of talent, but they fall short when it matters. The Raiders game was a great example.
Sure, they'll likely still win the division... but as I've said a few times all year, I'm not expecting anything from them in the playoffs.
The JETS are surging, which is interesting - they could cause a ruckus and that would be interesting. [Reply]

Someone needs to figure out what's going on with Thomas. Way too many drops right now [Reply]

He's always had that game with crazy drops followed by a huge power game. Thomas is a great WR and he earned the contract, but he does have some warts.
They've been very conservative and I get it, but some of this would drive Dan Reeves crazy. They seem to always take 2 shots deep to Sanders on the right, that doesn't fool anyone.
I'm just not convinced they have opened it up enough. I didn't get to watch all of the game (wasn't on local and had kid sports stuff), but I've wanted to see more play action roll outs / bootlegs.
The end of the world isn't near, but they lost a lot of ground for that bye. And, I was really hoping they would put a highlight or two on the reel at home before going to PIT.
We will quickly find out how well Manning is... Brock gets this next start, and then I'd say CIN/SD are up for grabs if they screw the pooch offensively again. They're just void of any signs of life really - going through motions, trying not to make a mistake. [Reply]

We held them to 126 yards and gave up 2.3 yards per play. Our defense dominated them.
I've been pretty impressed with the Jets the last few weeks - they are really clicking on offense. Comparing the skill positions, it's a good example of what Denver's offense 'should' be doing, but they're not.

You guys gave up 361 yards and at 4.8 yards per play.
Our defense is far from overrated.
Who gives a sh*t when we can't score more than 12 points or produce a TD in 7 quarters... 22 points in 8 quarters, 1 TD. That's crap, but defend away with your twitter. [Reply]

An ugly win is a WIN. An ugly loss, like the Donx experienced against Oakland AT HOME, is far different. :-) And no, NOTHING familiar about it. Not a single bad call came into play down the stretch. In fact, any that occurred got reversed in Denver's favor, and they STILL LOST. :-)
Truth is, it looked like MOST Denver games this year except no bad calls, or weird events, helped you win.
Balt, at KC, Minn, at Cle, at Oak, Chi, NE ALL could have ended the same way. [Reply]

It's all good MHM. I like you man. He's just a blatant homer where Denver does nothing wrong. They're a perfect team. [Reply]
Remember when Knowmo said we didn't have any depth in our front 7? 7 combined sacks and a forced fumble turned INT from DeVito, Zombo and Ford along with some solid play from Nick Williams stopping the run and pushing the pocket.
