It's very, very rare to be in the Top 5 in both offense and defense. Denver is the best team in the league right now. I'm not scared of Houston (who doesnt show up for even semi-big games), or NE (who can't beat us in DEN), or BAL (for obvious reasons) or really anyone. Cincinnati is playing well, but I doubt they could win in DEN. Same for Indy. It's simply a matter of making sure we don't lose the turnover battle. That and injuries are really the only way we can foul this up. Keep your eye on the ball and we'll win the conference.
GB and SEA are playing at a very high level in the NFC, but Denver has done it more consistently and I feel really good right now against any opponent. Just hold on to the ball on offense and stay away from injuries and we should be fine.

Cross your fingers and hope that we don't split as we usually do.
![]() DEN should roll by 3 TD or more, but you never know in a Broncos-Chiefs game. Seriously, this team has an amazing oppurtunity in front of them. I really hope they don't **** it up. It's all right there in front of us. There is tremendous balance between offense and defense that no one else in the NFL has. They need to get it done.

I hate watching teams put up late game points because we go conservative. I wish we had a little stronger running game but we are acceptable and will be better when Kupe returns. Really like the Hester pick up too. Hillman gets more comfortable every week too. Moreno is solid. |

I wasnt referring to the Chiefs game in particular, Agamemnon, but rather to the possibility of losing in the AFC playoffs at some point. There's really no excuse for it. Even HOU has been exposed in primetime games. I think there is a good chnace they lose to INDY which would hand us the No. 1 seed. Certainly in that instance, there's no excuse for not making it to the SB. DEN has been LIGHTS OUT at home since the Houston game and all of these other teams (even NE) SHOULD have an uphill battle to beat DEN in DEN.

I still think Denver is prone to getting scored on. That's my only qualm. In their losses and in the game against San Diego, Denver's defense was getting flattened. Those losses weren't even close until the 4th quarter. Philip Rivers imploded, and I think we all knew that sort of win/loss was the kind that changes seasons (it totally reminded me of the season shift when the 4-4 Raiders came to Denver in 2002). No team really scares me except New England -- and that's because Tom Brady is the only QB that can hang with Peyton Manning. People suggesting we bail on the #1 seed are being idiots. Homefield advantage is gonna be a huge difference maker in who makes the Superbowl out of DEN/HOU/NE. The Broncos can handle Houston in Houston, but I sure as hell don't want to be going to New England and running into Belichick/Brady/the weather.

All of those examples you cited happened in the first 6 weeks of the season as well. Since the end of the first half of that Chargers game this has been right near the top in terms of best defenses in football. They've shutdown some pretty good offenses (Saints and Ravens in particular). They force turnovers in bunches...it's just a really good defense. I'm really interested to see how this defense stacks up against a New England or Houston now. I'm positive their a much better unit. I have no idea if they've improved enough to hold those offenses in check, it's going to be really interesting to find out. |

Run the damned score up take no hostages. Being the Seahawks and put up 50+ each week. as for Kuper coming back. Rumor has it it is both ankles. I get this feeling he will not be back. Maybe ever. Maybe Kupes Dad can give us the real skinny. But in the mean time do not hold your breath about him riding in to save the day. |

Let me add it see,Ed to me we jumped into zone coverage opposed to man during the game and all of sudden they started moving the ball.
Do what we do best and stay with it. |

It was noted previously that McGahee could come back around the second round, even though he was placed on IR.

Throw in all his fumbles and I think McGahee in a bit of trouble for next yrs roster.

The stat I still worry about is T/G. We're 18th. All of the other stats read very nicely. We are #1 in scoring differential and #3 in yard differential. If we improve on that T/G we are unstoppable.

and the miscommunication we saw yesterday should not be happening. As to the D being scored on. Yeah it has been happening and is somewhat worrisome. But the references to the first SD game were wrong. The defense really only allowed 7 points and one drive in the first half, and got put in BAD positions by the offense ( 17 points off turnovers). Down 24 -0 they stepped it up even more and shut out SD in the 2nd half. The one thing that I do think is finally evening out is turnovers. We are finally receovirng fumbles ( both ours and theirs) and are getting more than giving mostly. |
