Week 8 Discussion (Other Teams)

[Pats]

Broncos will choke when it matters, but its surprising how easy they are dispatching of green bay, its very impressive.

[PurpleCity5]

My goodness, Denver's defense is insanely good. How can you beat them offensively? I mean you won't have much time in the pocket, and almost every time, your targets aren't even open. Its ridiculous.

Wishful thinking. Manning might choke, but that defense is good enough to bail him out.

For now it is, but I wonder if it stays that way come january, ive seen the daunted broncos defense in previous years be categorised as top class only for it to fall apart later. They nearly lost to kansas not too long ago too but thats moe on manning.

[ratedr]

Huge call. Never seen that before.

They were a top defense in 2012 but this defense is MUCH better than that defense.

 

And honestly, Denver's defense didn't really fall apart in the playoffs that year outside of that one very important play.

All I know is I can't wait to see the Patriots @ Broncos whenever that is.

If its at mile high i could see a denver win, in new england I think mannign would need to turn back the clock while not choking

Oh yeah if it's in NE then the Pats all the way. 

 

But in Denver? Give me the Broncos.

How amazing is it that we're the team that has come closest to beating them so far?

[ratedr]

Manning's stats look worse than he actually played (21/29, 340 yards, INT)

[Inqui]

I googled it before, it was November 30 iirc, but that's NZT.

[ratedr]

Rodgers only has 77 yards passing. That's insane. Too good this Denver defense.

[ratedr]

Already seeing the Pats fans on Twitter trying to downplay the Broncos LOL. They are scared. Trying to rationalize that barely scraping by the Jets last week means that they easily dispatch the Broncos D. Delusion.

[Inqui]

I think that says a lot about us, and how ultimately the offence isn't the problem. We're a lot closer to being a contender again than our 2-6 record suggests.

November 29th on SNF. We have to get through the entire month before they face off.

[DomMcRaven]

And Flacco had 40 more!

Darn. Anything to stop hearing if the Pats could go undefeated. 

[allblackraven]

2 INTs though, one was pick 6.

[JO_75]

Honestly, if the Patriots/Bengals end up with the bye weeks, and Denver the third seed. If by some chance we go on a run to 10-6 or 9-7 as the sixth seed, I'd feel very confident that we can knock them out of the playoffs once again.

Also this again shows we are the only AFC team that can consistently match up well against New England and Denver.

[JO_75]

Crazy that Flacco had more passing yards against the Broncos D then Rodgers did.

[DomMcRaven]

Yep. At least we still had a chance to win.

Just reported that Le'Veon Bell has badly torn MCL that will end his season.

[JO_75]

Manning has now tied Favre for career wins with 186 and the irony of all this. He beat Favre's old team to tie his record. Now a win against his former team, the Colts will break Favre's record next week with 187.

Such a shame. He's a Steeler but a fun player to watch.

 

Big blow for them.

[DomMcRaven]

Not to mention our offensive line had the worst performance this season. 

[allblackraven]

I reckon more than decent team could be put together of all the guys injured this year and we're only half way through it.

[52520Andrew]

I am going to be really interested to see Pats Broncos in Denver. New England offense against Denver defense should be a ton of fun.

Why? I mean...why? We aren't going on a run. I need something that says we have the ability to do so

I'm still here. I mean, we barely scraped by a decimated Chargers team at home.
