This is no way in hell he gets any YAC against us. A decent jumping CB will blanket him.

[CEH]

I can't find it but Denver really hasn't given up a big run or pass all year

I could see TB breakng off a couple of each if the defense is not in their gaps and the secondary is not insync. They need to bring down the offensive player on first contact

These guys can put up points

[Old Dude]

I'm predicting a shootout, but I think Denver's got a better defense, especially in the passing game. Add in home field and I'll say 34-28, Broncos.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

You guys should know they completely skull****ed our running game.

Josh Freeman is the best deep ball passer in the league right now.

If your pass rush comes to play you got this. If not, could be a high scoring affair.

Perhaps you should...in 12 career games against Denver he has never had a 100 yard day, rarely broke 50 yards actually and scored a total of 3 TD's.

[oubronco]

As seen last week they better not take anyone lightly and play their "A Game"

Manning & DT go wild and Moreno is solid. D plays their best game of the year.

I don't know why people are worried about this game at all. Denver -7 is a gift and a half.

[baja]

I'd like to know how points given up by the Denver defense against teams played compares those team's season points average. Anyone know if that stat. is kept and where it is.

[baja]

Something we will see one of these games is Holliday lined up as a WR on go routes. Manning will score on this until the D gives the corner some help which will leave DT & Decker one on one. Pick your poison. This game is the perfect place to do or should we save it for the playoffs?

[ZONA]

I'm calling it a closer game then most would think. We are still going to be getting used to having no McGahee so I don't think our run game is going to be impressive. Probably decent but not great. We need to get that kicked into another gear. You simply can't be 1 dimensional against the better teams.

Broncos 26
Bucs 20

In deep accuracy, Freeman is 11th. Peyton is 2nd.

Has anyone seen many games with these guys in it? I have only seen a little bit.

On Offense, they obviously run the ball frequently and effectively with Martin and they have some really good big play WRs getting thrown the ball by a big, strong-armed QB. Sound familiar? That's what made the Chargers so good for so many years when they were kicking our asses. This is gonna be a good test for our defense.

On defense, what they're good at is less clear. Their rankings are what they are, but from the eye test, it looks like they have a pretty poor pass defense, but one that always seems to make key interceptions, and they're really good at returning them for TDs.

It'll be a close, tough game, IMO. But it's also in Denver. We'll win this. Especially if Moreno can repeat his performance from last week.

People think Schianao is a "dick", because Tom Caughlin didn't like Schianao asking his young team to play to the final second. What people forget is Schianao was the same head coach that gave one of his former Rutgers players who was paralyzed an NFL contract, and fulfilled a young persons dream that was all but shattered by the sport he loves. Good football coach, and good human.

Denver's run defense is not as good as the stats portray; there's just been a lack of competition there. If Jamal Charles can gash eight/nine in the box (with Brady Quinn at QB), I'd be worried about Martin. That said, the Buccaneers have an awful pass defense and I expect Manning to tear it up. I think this is one of Denver's most interesting matchups all season.

[Al Wilson]

This is going to be a Denver blowout. And I'll tell you why...The Bucs have the worst pass defense, and they have no name players in the secondary. They're going to focus on stopping the pass, and this will open up everything for the Broncos offense. They will run it and playaction will be open all day for some deep bombs. Also, our defense is very much underrated ... I trully think we have a dominant defense with #1 potential. I think this will be Denver's best game on offense, and the defense will be balling as usual.

I hope you are right. Not only would help the broncos keep pace for Home Field in the AFC, but it would also help the redskins playoff push

If the broncos are on top of their game, I could see a blowout as well. If the Broncos play like they have the past 3 weeks, I see it in the L column.

When was our running game regarded impressive this year with McGahee? If Moreno can repeat what he did last week, he will actually average more than Willis through the year. Plus... lets hope he doesn't put it on the ground, if he can accomplish that... well, that would be one of our most noticeable improvements.

I think we keep if close for the first half, then run away with it in the second!

They sure did in the Houston game.

[gyldenlove]

I have Peyton down for 4 TDs, 2 going to Decker, 1 to Thomas and 1 to Moreno.

I think the opposite. We need to get up early on this team and we will game plan to do just that. The last thing we want is to let Martin get rolling, we do that by getting a couple scores early.

[BowlenBall]

Doug Martin is absolutely tearing it up right now, Josh Freeman has joined the ranks of pro bowl-worthy quarterbacks, and the Tampa Bay defensive front is pretty deep.

I say we lose a few fumbles early, dig ourselves a hole, then come roaring back in the 4th quarter to almost, but not quite, win the game.

Bucs 28, Broncos 26

[Agamemnon]

The Broncos should dominate them. Whether or not they actually do is another matter entirely.

The networks are determined by the road team and conference they are in. AFC is CBS and FOX is NFC.

No I know that but when we need a double header from Fox because we have an NFC team at home it's their turn for only a single game that week conversely when we need a double header from CBS to increase our chances for the away game at an NFC location of being televised over a wider area they are on their single game week. CBS and FOX alternate double header weeks as you know.
