Default Who is the team to fear? The AFC West says...

In thinking about who might be able to stop the Patriots, to me there is only one team. The Steelers was a silly suggestion. The Colts proved that it would take their best day on our worst to get close.

But I have a question. Does a suddenly resurgent Denver team scare you? This is a team that has typically had our number year after year. We have a completely different team now than the last few times we played them, but I'm curious as to your thoughts?

Only one problem, we won't play Denver. Denver will NOT make it to the playoffs. They played a horrible Titans team. Don't fool yourself.

Update: Well that didn't work out as I had planned. Next year baby, next year 19-0 we go. Next year.

Only because over the last 30+ years i've been conditioned to feel that way especially in Denver. But that won't happen this year.

Nope. I'm hoping they make the playoffs and we get a chance to play them. That's the one thing that's missing this season, is a chance to destroy Denver to make up for past frustrations.

In order of scariness:

1. Indy (when healthy)
2. Denver (w/ Javon Walker back, their big play ability scares me). They could be especially troublesome in a bad weather game.

These are the only two coaching staffs that have been able to match wits w/ the Pats coaching staff.

There is no third team.

i want sandiego to lose because of ladanian "classy" tomlinson, but denver is more of a threat to us just because they somehow manage to beat us in the past... i dont know how denver is going to beat us now, but i fear denver more than san diego...

All they have do is outplay a HORRIBLE SD team down the stretch.

Frankly,if we don't destroy them at their house(and we wouldn't play them there this year),we have really done nothing.
Going to their house,like when we "Squished the Fish" is the best way to kill a demon.

Agreed. My one small beef with how this season is looking like its going to go is that the Donkeys won't ever be the recipient of an eff you touchdown. I can almost go so far as to say that I'd surrender a perfect season in return for getting to shed some Donkey blood.
