totally, i'd take stephen jackson over the top 3 denver offensive players combined. bulgar is still a top QB no matter what their ex-coach thought and holt is still dangerous at wideout. their oline is solid. their defense isnt stellar but theyre not pushovers either ... they made mincemeat out of boyz oline on sunday. plus theyre winning for their new coach haslett.

How many teams have run through a number of elite teams this year? ARE there any elite teams this year? A win is a win. We're 4-2 right now and just put forth our best effort yet.

Besides, what teams left on the schedule worry you significantly more than Denver? Pittsburgh, maybe Buffalo?

Exactly correct. There are no "great" teams this year, in either conference.

Titans 7-0......please....I'm not scared.

Denver is the Lakers of the NFL, sure they are a talented bunch, but when push comes to shove they are sure to fold.

The trouble with saying we won because of their soft defense is that every time we score, they get a chance to score.

We won because:

1) They were out-coached (we knew the left was a weakness - every team has them and smart teams will exploit them).

2) They were outwitted: Two recovered fumbles, three interceptions, two probably helped by pressure...

3) They were out-muscled: Pressure against an O-Line that had only given up two sacks, right?


People want to use guys getting knocked out of the game as an excuse. You remember that it's football right? Exhaustion, fear and pain have always been weapons in this sport. The team was over-rated, but had gotten lucky or stayed in games. A superior team such as New England exposed them as total frauds.

We lost by twenty points against a team we know with a our back-up quarterback (well, starter right now - we should likely quit resting on that term) and showed areas we lacked in (secondary game-plan, possibly playcalling on O), and we learned from it. Will Denver do the same? Maybe, but their team is seriously depleted.

This is a quality win, even CHFF thinks so. If you still don't trust this team after that absolute beat down, despite two major personnel losses, you simply ought to start following mini-golf or nascar.

They were outwitted because of 2 recovered fumbles?

That's a new one to me.

Pass rush? Uneccessary when you have 72 CBS playing.
Lbs? What for, we have no pass rush, they gonna chuck it at our lousy CBS...all 72 of them bums

Its not a stupid argument. In fact, everything you said lends itself to the idea that Denver is soft.

They've got one of the worst defenses in the league. Yes, they got 6 sacks, but that was from blown assignments by the RBs and TEs on 4 of them. But they didn't force any fumbles or any interceptions.

That being said, as someone else pointed out, good teams thrash the horrible ones. And that is what the Pats did. This was, by far, the best game for the O-line in terms of their blocking. The RBs and TEs need to block better, but the O-line did very well.
