Considering what Luck and Cam did to the other team they faced this season, I'd say Denver's defense was very impressive.


Luck vs Detroit

31/47 (65%)
385 yards
8.2 yards per attempt
4 TD's
0 INT's
119.5 QB Rating

Luck vs Denver

21/40 (52.5%)
197 yards
4.9 yards per attempt
1 TD
1 INT
64.5 QB Rating

Cam vs 49ers

24/40 (60%)
353 yards
8.8 yards per attempt
4 TD's
1 INT
111 QB Rating

Cam vs Broncos

18/33 (54.5%)

That's OK it's not a beauty contest

4.4 YPC given up so far. Their run D has taken a step back.
[Reply]

The same Broncos fans that were saying KC's run defense wasn't good because of their 4.1 YPC last year will ignore this.

The Broncos just played at home against two teams who's success is predicated soley on the QB. When they have to go on the rod against teams that can run the ball and play defense (but also have a better QB), we will see what they're made of.

A lot of that is because we played Carolina...

But yeah, the run defense won't be as good this year. We're missing two exceptional run defenders in Malik Jackson and Vance Walker. Our run defense won't be poor though, it just won't be as dominant as it was last year.

WTF are you talking about? Carolina GASHES people with their run game.

We'll know more about Denver after this weekend.

Because of their fucking QB, hence the first part of my statement. Jonathan Stewart is a brokedick washed up RB. When you can just take a couple of headshots at their QB with no consequences it's pretty easy to shut their running game down.

Through two weeks (minus tonight's MNF game), @two_dice is @PFF's highest-rated center; @VGreen85 is its top TE & @Millerlite40 its top OLB.

:-) As well as the other 31 teams.

Cam and Luck are two of the best QBs in the league. It can barely get better than that.
[Reply]

I mean a better QB than the Broncos obviously.
[Reply]

And don't forget that Dungver leads the lead in cheating, cheapshots, and bogus calls in their favor through week 2.

At home...they are going to have to be #1 to survive Semenboy on the road.

It's not a coincidence that the only two AFC teams with home games are 2-0...Denver having the thin air that no one else has.

I wouldn't expect too many 14 point comebacks away from Pile High...or relying on kickers missing to brag about how "dominant" their team is..
[Reply]

Yeah. But Denver has played shit teams so far. You have to admit it. It's not like Carolina was in the super bowl last year. It's not like every one of these mullets was 100% convinced Carolina would push Denver's poop in in the Super Bowl. It's not like that at all.
