So what makes you think you can make it happen against the Colts?

[ZachKC]

I pretty much stayed quiet about the Patriots game. I was pretty damn sure you would win that one. Even saying a few times if the turnovers are equal or plus to your side youd be tough to beat...

Having said that...what about last night makes you think you can match up with the Colts? (if they win)

2 of your touchdown "drives" were 1 play on 1 yard drives...and another that was pretty short if I recall.

Thats pretty incredible.

Your defense is playing top notch ball but Indy usually gets it done against very good defensive teams. I don't think the floodgates will open like past run ins with the Colts but do you really think your offense has it in them to go down the field and score points when you need it too?

What makes you think your offense can do what is needed to get you guys over that hurdle?

[Spider]

same way Pressure , we dont sack we get pressure , Jake is playing lights out .... Special teams , we won the field postion battle

[Spider]

Far more worried about the steelers

[ZachKC]

Heh, im not taking anything away from your win...luck is part of the game...and you guys played well enough to make your own luck...

But without those turnovers do you win last night?

I think all the things you listed above happened and added to your win but you missed that key ingrdient. The turnover...think you can't count on those again?

[ZachKC]

Far more worried about the steelers
The Steelers at home vs Indy on the road? I think you are crazy bud. The Steelers winning would punch a ticket for you guys to go to Detroit.

[phillybroncosnut]

We have no shot against the Colts. We will lose by 4 TD's EASILY.

Jake really does blow. We can't run the ball to save our lives. Our D only gets turn overs when the other team gives it to them. Lord knows, we can't force turnovers.
Our Punter not only can't punt worth a chit, he can't tackle either.

Champ is slow. Our rookie Corners can't cover my grandmother. Rod Smith is the most overrated WR in the history of the NFL. Shanahan is on par with the Mike Tice's of the NFL coaching world.

The "Browncos" defensive line is the worst free agent assembled D-Line in the NFL. Our LB's are slow.

We have no shot.

We still win , not as big , 3 point game maybe 4 ..... I still think we make different play calls if Pats score instead of bailey turn over

Zach, we FORCED 4 of the 5 TO's last night. Can you count on them from week to week? No.
Let's not play media head here and say we didn't earn the win. We forced the TO's.

[Spider]

The Steelers at home vs Indy on the road? I think you are crazy bud. The Steelers winning would punch a ticket for you guys to go to Detroit.
LOL , first thing you learn Zach , never underestamate a team that can run and play D ..... We can beat Indy , the running game and Defense are not effected much by crowd noise ....

[ZachKC]

I am not saying you didn't earn the win.

[epicSocialism4tw]

Zach, I dont think that we win going away with as little offense as we had last night. I think that the Pats D was a big reason for that, as they are the best run D that we've seen all season.

The Broncos played below their standard and still won by a pretty nice margin. This has been the case several times this season. We obviously have a boatload of playmakers on defense (including the 2 rook DB's) and our special teams squad is top flight. We get it done in every phase.

If we go into Indy, I like our chances. We'll be riding the biggest momentum to come through the Broncos since the Packers superbowl. Our team will be ready.

[phillybroncosnut]

Thanks for coming around...whenever you get a take be sure to come back. Ya know...football talk.


Sorry about that. I just got done reading a handful of "Expert" takes on last night's game. They have me convinced.

[Gcver2ver3]

Colts just need to worry about the Steelers right now

[Spider]

thats right you are Chief fan , winning playoff games you are not used to .....

[BroncoSoja]

What makes you think your offense can do what is needed to get you guys over that hurdle?

I dont know if our Offense can get teh job done.. Our Defense will play them very very tough. But just like last night when our Offense doesnt produce at key times like it has done most of the year, our D gets tired and starts to wear down.

That being said I still want to play them, I dont think people should run from adversity but face it. And what better way to build your character then to beat the team that has destroyed you before, sorta facing that bully type of thing.

Bring the Dolts on, we hung with them in the preseason starters vs starters we can do it agian, if our Offense shows up.

[16-JakE-16]

i'm pretty sure the colts have to beat pitt first

[Spider]

Gee Zach , your Almighty Colts have their handsfull , what was you saying about the steelers being a winning ticket for us ?

[Rock Chalk]

Heh, im not taking anything away from your win...luck is part of the game...and you guys played well enough to make your own luck...

The defense caused two of those turnovers, the special teams CAUSED two of them as well.

Only one turnover was out of desperation. Denver basically forced Brady into bad decision making.

That's the same key to beating the Colts.

The Colts defense is also not anywhere near as good as the Patriots IMO so being stymied early is not really a concern like it was with the Patties.

I dont know if we can beat them, that is, if we have to play them. All I know is that we finally got a playoff win which is all I wanted this year. I do think we can hang with the colts and keep it from being embarrassing this year though.

[ZachKC]

Gee Zach , your Almighty Colts have their handsfull , what was you saying about the steelers being a winning ticket for us ?
I think you guys match up really well against the Steelers...really well.

Mirror images ...... except the Steelers run a 3-4 ...... i dont see the matchup ..... it will come down to who out hits who ..... Lynch has to remove Bettis head ..... i think we can defend the steelers passing game .......

[GonzoLays]

Its funny when the Patriots were causing all those turnovers during their run they were considered "well coached." Did anybody call it lucky when they forced the Colts into 4 turnovers in their matchup? Its called football, people act like fumbles and interceptions are not part of the game.

The Patriots won three Super Bowls by being "lucky" then. I'll take that anyday.

Who are you talking about when you mention someone who thinks turnovers are not part of the game?

[The Big E]

The thing is, we DID cause the turnovers, and that's what makes the difference between winning and losing. We created those 1 yd drives. Who knows how it would've played out with more long fields for us. We could've gone 3 and out or we could've chewed up clock with some long drives.

Simple, eh?

[Blart]

Amateur fans are always amazed by a high-scoring offense.

The Colts plain suck, they're the 98 vikings all over again.

[errand]

Well perhaps the best way to eliminate Indy is to have the Steelers win their match-up and get a home game for the AFC title against arguably the biggest underachievers in the playoffs

[wabbit]

You say we match up 'really well' against the Steelers Zach.

I don't see it...break it down for me...just a little...you know, football talk.

But without those turnovers do you win last night?



Without those turnovers, the Patriots were still kicking field goals instead of getting touchdowns... Yes, we'd have still won last night without those turnovers.

[Crushaholic]

Even IF the Colts come back and win this game, I see weaknesses that Denver can exploit. The defense reminds me a lot of the Chiefs with their overpursuit of the ball. If we have to play Indy, I feel much better about our chances watching this game...

We can't all sit around and listen to collegues make opinions and echo them but I will give it a shot.

First of all Eddie Kennison is going to have an awful year. Ha.

Second...

I didnt think it was outlandish for the Colts to lose...but for them to lose in this fashion by the Steelers...I will eat Steeler crow. They could be that good. I still think Denver could protext Plummer well enough...better than the Colts did for Manning but that run defense looks pretty bad ass on their end and you guys got netralized pretty well. The Steelers will run enough but they wont go crazy. Can Ben get anything done against your pass defense? We will see.

I didnt expect this game to happen like this obviously...from the thread starter.

It still asks an interesting question...can your offense get in the endzone if it is not set up with 1 yard TD drives?

[ZachKC]

doesnt matter now. steelers look like there gonna take care of em
The same question is still on the board with a different team....

I was just curious. You came to a broncos board as a chiefs fan and tried to downplay our postseason win. I would assume that in order for someone to do that they would have A) Had recent post-season success or B) they themselves are also in the playoffs.

Since I know 'A' isn't true, I though you guys might be in the playoffs somewhere and I missed it.

If I was wrong on both accounts then maybe you should consider two options yourself:
A) Contact the NFL about creating a sub-post season for those that don't qualify year after year (See NIT tournament in College Basketball)

B) Don't come here and try to degrade our performance until you guys can win a playoff game.

[Darkhawk24]

We are in the AFC Championship game with a legit shot at hoasting it at home. We've played some good ball this year at home.

So your basically going off of one games offense performance at out 17? Maybe you should go back to talking about the Chiefs offseason moves.

You know what is great about chef fans...

They are always obsessed with the Broncos. It's ok Zach, Herm is a good coach and he'll get that team to be more disciplined. Too bad you will become conservative on offense again. I can see it now too...Al Saunders goes to Oakland and ruins your season.

Some things never change for chef fans. Worry about your own freakin' team before being so obsessed with the Broncos fortunes. When you are good enough to actually beat the Broncos outside of Arrowhead...then maybe you can open your mouth a little. You really shouldn't talk until your team is a serious threat. You guys never learn though.

[errand]

Get a win against one team doesnt equal one against another...

The type of game that was good enough to beat the Patriots doesnt automatically equal the type of play good enough to beat another team.

.

So winning games like we did against the Pats doesn't mean that formula will work against another team?

I'll go out on a limb here and predict that should the Broncos get 5 turnovers and have 2 easy TD's set up for them by our D, we'll whip 99% of of the teams we play.

[Broncoman13]

Here's what I think.

The Steelers D is better than the Pats. Points Allowed, they are tied with Denver. Typically the Steelers play better football on the road. But, that doesn't negate our home field advantage by any means. Young QB at the helm will get rattled by the crowd. Trent Green and Tom Brady both got rattled, if Roth doesn't he has ice water in his veins!

Our running game vs their D. I think we match up better against the Steelers then we did against the Pats. Seymour, Warren, and Wilfork are all very big bodies that happen to be very athletic. Pitt doesn't have the same quality along the DLine. They have better LB's, but without the DL our OL will have the opportunity to get to their LB's and make the blocks. Not saying that we'll have a 200 yard day rushing the ball, but 4.5 per carry and 150 on the day isn't out of the question. I like this match-up better than what we had against the Pats, where our OL couldn't get to the 2nd level and make blocks b/c of the size and athleticsm of the Pats DL.

Pitt O vs our D. I think our passing D #'s are skewed b/c of the amount of attempts we have faced. Teams throw on us not b/c it's easy but b/c they have to... catch up mode. The flip side of that coin is the Rush D. We're not quite as good as our #'s indicate, mainly b/c we don't see the attempts. In this game I'm more concerned with Jerome Bettis than I am Willie Parker. Willie has great speed, but our D does too. But if anyone thinks that Ian, Al, and DJ will bring a 275lb Bettis down with ease they are kidding themselves. He could very quitely have a 100 yard day... getting a lead and forcing them to pass will negate that. Very important that we get off to a good start this weekend. I like our match-ups against their passing game. Champ vs Hines is a good match-up for us. Foxxy or DWill vs Randle El is pretty much neutral. Add in the noise and Roth being fairly young and I think you have a decent match-up for Denver.

Including the playoffs, Bettis has had exactly one game over 100 yards.

Bring on the Steelers. They're a tough team, built for great defense but they're not going to put up a lot of points very quickly. That gives me hope. I think whichever QB has the better game and makes less mistakes will be on the winning side because great defenses will limit what WRs/RBs will be able to do.

The flip side of that coin is the Rush D. We're not quite as good as our #'s indicate, mainly b/c we don't see the attempts. In this game I'm more concerned with Jerome Bettis than I am Willie Parker. Willie has great speed, but our D does too. But if anyone thinks that Ian, Al, and DJ will bring a 275lb Bettis down with ease they are kidding themselves. He could very quitely have a 100 yard day... getting a lead and forcing them to pass will negate that. Very important that we get off to a good start this weekend. I like our match-ups against their passing game. Champ vs Hines is a good match-up for us. Foxxy or DWill vs Randle El is pretty much neutral. Add in the noise and Roth being fairly young and I think you have a decent match-up for Denver.

Good breakdown. I think we should be pretty good about stopping the Bus, Not because any of our LB's would rock him one on one, but because we'll have 4 guys on him before he picks up a head of steam. The Colts held the steeler running game pretty much in check and they are a speed defense like ours, though I think Denver has better personnel which will aid us. I like the secondary match up, my only concern is the TE's, and that's only a minor concern seeing how Denver has handled those pretty well so far. I think Ben could be baited into mistakes.

I also think that the Pitt Defense matches up well against Denver too though, this is going to be a slobberknocker.

Pittsburg and Denver are mirror images of eachother. AFC north doppelganger. They use their tightends, WR's are good blockers, steelers blitz creates turnovers. Field position and turnovers decide who wins this one.

Wilfolk looked like he was nine months' pregnant with quints. That guy had a belly on him! I'll bet his body fat ratio is up in the 60% range!!! It was amazing that he could move from side to side. Good thing all he had to do is play like a rock. I mean, come on. That is a model football player?

Ha!

[sirhcyennek81]

He is when he has to control the center and two guards. Not often you see a NT not weigh less then 350.

WRONG! It is the Cheifs Superbowl every year..I live in Kansas City and have gone to chef games for over two decades. You should hear the radio, read the paper, and watch the TV. Actually it is pretty sad & pathetic, but thats all they have.

Its a huge game...its a rival game...it is not a Superbowl.

Ww beat you guys this year and how many people are happy about our season? Not many at all...I venture to say nobody...if it was our Superbowl we would be content with beating you every year...which we do...

Nobody is content with just that. It happens every year.

Totally offbase.

You're right Zach. I don't think the Broncos can make it happen against the Colts.

Nice job troll trying to stir the pot before the colts/pitt game ended.

The teams are different but the real question is still the same...you have the offensive production?

I am 22. I would be suprised if I see another game with 2 1 yard drives for touchdowns in my lifetime.

Wasn't it one one-yard drive? The other one started around the 40. But keep working on discrediting the win. Why am I even bringing this thread back up?

I LOVE THIS!

It's Conference Championship Week and rival KC fans are posting in the OrangeMane to discuss the merits of this Bronco team just so they have some football to talk about while their own chefs are long dead and buried under a mountain of horsepoop.

:~ohyah!:

Don't let facts get in the way!

[WolfpackGuy]

Cheaps fans. They'll never change.

[RunByDesign]

Nobody is downplaying the palyoff win...it was a playoff win. I dont think thats even possible.

For who, the Chiefs?

Good point.

[Merlin]

Well, this is as close as they can get to discussing anything to do with a playoff win. :rofl:

[WolfpackGuy]

The only way the Cheaps make the Super Bowl is if they buy tickets.

The only way the Chefs make the Super Bowl is to become a Bronco... For example... Neil Smith! :)
