And if we end up with a Brady-Manning shootout, I'm taking Brady, because his running game and tight ends will gash the Denver defense worse than Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker will gash the Patriots' secondary. |
This...x1000000
I'm so sick of hearing everyone slobber all over the Broncos. I will laugh hysterically if they don't make it farther in the playoffs than they did last season with Tebow.
Has Peyton made the team better....yup.
Were they a playoff team before he got there....yup.
People are acting like the Broncos were as bad as the Colts last season...I personally think what Andrew Luck is doing is much more impressive than Peyton.

Meh. Neither is what I'd call a true quality opponent. Better than the dregs of the league, but a division winner should beat either in out of division play. |

The Pats are currently 2-2 against teams with winning records. Not exactly sterling.

2-2*, but it's still better than 2-3, with the two wins coming against 7-5 squads. The Broncos can be commended for taking care of business like they should, but I'd like to see one good showing against a quality, playoff threat-caliber opponent before I start entertaining thoughts that they're better than the Pats. Houston, Pats, Broncos, AFC North pu-pu platter, in that order... for now. |

Peyton in the red zone last night:
2/6, 7 yards, 1 TD, 2 sacks
0/3 on 3rd down
It doesn't really matter against the Raiders, but that's the kind of play that's going to get the Broncos blown out against good teams.

Have to hope Broncos lose against the Bengals and Ravens lose two of their remaining games and we go 3-1. I think that's our best realistic chance at a seed. And if we beat Houston + they lose one more we get the 1 seed. I think that's fairly reasonable. In a perfect world of course we win out and they all lose out but fat chance of that happening.

It's even worse than the number say too. He was clearly forcing the issue and could have easily had them run the ball in. 1st and goal at the 2 yard line and you run 3 straight plays out of the shotgun? Seriously? That's laughably stupid.

Yep.
Not sold on him being legit given the coach he's playing for, but if he runs for 500 today, I'll be happy.

His downside is probably a Green-Ellis type. Steady but replaceable starter.
I think he's probably better than that but, as you said, it's tough to know with Shanahan RB's. |

Strikes me as both faster and tougher than BJGE ever was, but it's pretty clear the the Shanahan offense and having RG3 in the same backfield helps.

| Sweet catch by Jared Cook to take a lead on the Colts. Sergio Brown the closest defender |
