I'm never really gone guys....coming back again with the slight possibility of another Broncos-Patriots rematch in the playoffs. And as normal, not here to cause ANY trouble whatsoever.
Looks like you guys will be the fourth seed, and if we beat Cincy at home next week, and San Fran the week after, we'll be the fifth seed and we'll meet in Foxboro again.
I'll be honest, the fact that we play in Foxboro again worries me. Playing the Patriots again, as normal, does not.
Read the whole post before commenting, because I don't really feel like replying to the "Yeah right the Broncos suck now we'll beat them easily." If you don't have any justification to your post, I don't really want to read it.
As always, I'm not here to cause any trouble, just looking for some knowledgeable fans to talk football with.
I'd like to mention one thing about the Broncos now, that, seeing their 8-6 record and seeing them come off a four game losing streak may not show.
We are indeed a better team with Cutler starting then Plummer. By a lot, already. Don't believe me? Just look at his FIRST pass from yesterday's game vs. Arizona. And then try to tell me Plummer could do that
Aside from being better at QB now that Cutler's seems to be settled in than when we played you last, our O-Line has been completely demolished. Losing Matt Lepsis for the year has absolutely killed our running game and pass protection, and we're a much worse team because of it.
That being said, mixing Mike and Tatum Bell, occasionally with Cecil Sapp (Who's also out for the year) had worked pretty well. We can still get a decent running game going, but not nearly as good as we could before.
At WR, we're much improved from last time. Aside from having a QB who can consistently get it to the WRs now, Brandon Marshall has emerged as a great threat at the slot, mainly because he's tall, fast, and has good hands.
There's still no point in trying to throw at Bailey, as Leinart learned last week (He said he wasn't afraid to challenge Champ, and threw 2 INTs), but Darrent Williams has proven he can easily be picked on. Yesterday though, he was deactivated with a toe injury, and Dominique Foxworth played MUCH better.
D-Line is still pathetic, and LBs are still one of the best units in the game.
Special Teams is the worst part of our game, and believe me when I say that.
We had one return to I believe Arizona's 37, by far our longest of the year yesterday. Other than that, we're last in average starting field position, our guys can't tackle or block depending on which side their on, and we commit way to many penalties.
In some ways we're better than when we played last, and in others we're worse, and I'm sure you guys can say the same about yourselves.
I STILL think we match-up really well against you guys, especially if Cutler gets into a rhythm and makes the throws he made last game.
I'd feel a lot more confident about our chances if we do happen to meet if they were in Denver, and it'd be a shock to me if we advance past the first round just because we're sort of rebuilding. But it's a quick re-build, and I think next year we'll be right back in the SB hunt.
I wouldn't go as far as saying we could beat you guys in Foxboro if we played again in the playoffs at the stage we are now, but if Cutler has another good game, and we beat Cincy, I wouldn't completely rule it out....after all...the last 6 times we've played, we've won 5 of them.
Thoughts and opinions are welcomed....
I'm back again...looking for some opinions and predictions!
