This Denver - New England game is another one of those coin tosses.

Really? I don't see much in the Broncos that make me think they're legitimately a powerhouse anymore. What am I missing?


Pretty much what MTZehvor said.  The Broncos have the best Defense in the NFL.  They're 8-2 despite Manning putting up the worst QB performance in the league so far this season.  They're a better team with Osweiler.

All that, and New England has lost a lot of receiving targets.  They really only have Gronk right now.  But Gronk's a pretty good choice if you're down to one receiving target.

I'm not sure about the Denver defense any more. It's still good, but their piss poor offense has led to a lot of mileage on the defense, and I think it's starting to show. A great defense doesn't cough up almost thirty points to a Jamaal-free Chiefs team, for example. They've sufficently sunk in my eyes that, while still top tier, I can no longer unambiguosly think they're the best around.

As for New England, I'm sick of tired of predicting their doom, no matter who goes down. They're the cockroaches of the NFL; even a nuclear war doesn't wipe them out!

Chris Harper just might.

I wonder if Tom Brady will offer a heartfelt apology to the head official after he sees the replay of that long pass.

That would be fair; anything to punish him for leaving college early is okey-dokey with me.

Wonder what's wrong with Baybay. Has been out of it all night. Had an easy TD on 3rd and goal there.

Carolina or Arizona should monster them in the SB. Brady and Belicheck are wizards, but there's only so much bleeding one can do. At least they haven't lost their QB1.

Nobody will be worse than the Redskins this year. It's simply not possible. They are already a mess and they haven't even played a single regular season game yet.

So nowhere to go but up then.

My ****a :D

I swear, the injury gods have taken it upon themselves to single handily destroy the Patriots.

"If Tom Brady won't get old and retire, we'll just take out all his receivers! Try playing QB when your top receiver is a guy that was on your practice squad last week!"
