Except that the Pats defense can not even defend the run so the Broncos might not even need to throw the ball as much as they needed against the Steelers...

They just need to play the same game they played against the Pats 3 weeks ago and stop fumbling the ball every possession in the second quarter..

The Broncos gained over 150 yards rushing against the Pats in the first quarter in the last game...

If the Pats make adjustment, Tiimie will throw the ball, if not, the Broncos will run all over them...

The real question for that game is going to be wether the Broncos can put more pressure on Brady than last time without keeping the Pats TE wide open ( every single time the Broncos blitzed 3 weesk ago, Hernandez was running wide open..)...

Ummm what?

McGahee only had 70 yards rushing against the Pats for that whole game.

The Patriots are ranked 17th in run defense, higher than the Broncos. Also while the Pats defense has been attrocious in giving up yards they are ranked 15th in points allowed per a game (again higher than the Broncos).

A number of key defensive players that have been out for the whole season due to injuries are finally coming back for the playoffs including Chung our safety and Mayo our Linebacker.

Finally do you honestly think that the Broncos are going to be running the ball when they fall back by 2 touhdowns to Tom Brady, I seriously doubt it. Not to mention the Broncos have absolutely no answers for either Hernandez or Gronk.

McGahee ran for 70 yards, Tebow for 93, Lance Ball for 64, Johnson for 25.

That's 252 yards and most of that was in the first quarter.
