We all know Denver has a distinct advantage at home,I just am not frightened of them and their top seed ranking,I would be more concerned of facing an angry and under the radar Texans team again.
Just so we're clear, you would be more concerned facing a team that has lost 3 of 4, that has a mediocre qb and that would be playing in Foxboro, than a team that has won 11 in a row, that has Peyton Manning, and that is playing at home? I call BS

Hi everyone, Broncos fan here. Thought it might be fun to have some fun discussions over here. From my obviously biased perspective i cant disagree more.
The Broncos DID have an easy conference schedule, but so do the Pats. In fact, they might play in the 2 worst conferences in the league, certainly the AFC.
But...
The Broncos haven't had an easy schedule. Our 3 losses come from 3 teams that all held the 1 seed at times during the season. All three came early in the season when the entire offense was basically dysfunctional, Peyton still lacked arm strength, and our D was adjusting to their 7th new D coordinator in 7 seasons. Despite all of this the Broncos only lost because of ealy mental mistakes such as turnovers and penalties. Not to mention, the Broncos almost came back in all 3 of these games.
Since then the Broncos have beaten...
- streaking Saints (wk 8) and Bucs (wk 13)teams that at the time were called "the hottest team in football." These teams were both scoring a lot of points making cases for the playoffs.
-Cinnci and Baltimore... Both on the road. (BTW the Pats are 0-2 vs teams over .500 on the road this year.)
-And they never came CLOSE to losing to any of the bottom tier teams they played. (Unlike the Patriot's poor performances vs. the Jags and on the road vs Miami)
While I concede the point that we had an easy closing schedule and havent faced a great QB the last few weeks, the Pats cant claim that they have fared any better having closed with the Jags and Miami and not performing great in the former.
SO...
overall I think that while the Broncos havent had a difficult schedule, it wasnt easy either. And you cant discount the fact that, dispite the easy schedule, the Broncos have used these games to work on things and improve each and every week.
GO BRONCOS!
Well I tried giving you the benefit of the doubt, but I think as much as you attempted to exclude bias in your comments, the fan in you is strong.
first, the Saints and bucs werent "streaking", the Saints just finished a 2-5 stretch to start their worst season with brees at the helm, and the Bucs were piling up points on bad teams and giving up even more to good ones.
Secondly, yes you did play an easy schedule. A Very EASY SCHEDULE. We dont blame you for this, its not your fault, but lets not make mountains out of Bengals here. Losing against high quality opponents is also not a badge of honour, its a sizeable question that doesnt have a feasible answer at this time. Beating the Bengals(?!?) on the road, and the artist formally known as the Ravens doesnt exactly instill confidence at this point. The great thing about football is you always get to prove yourself again, and Denver will have to do exactly that.
What i do agree with is that denver has used the season to get better and work out the kinks in their system, becoming Colts west. They needed the easy schedule for the time to build up to allow Peytons receivers to earn his trust and defense to have the confidence to pin their ears back and get after the QB.
Fortunately, the Pats have not only gotten better since we played last, but also healthier, which means we also are in great position to prove ourselves worthy of the opportunity to show up and earn respect. They will most certainly be up for the challenge of Manning, Manning will most certainly be up for the challenge of the Pats. The question will be, if it gets to that point, whether the rest of the broncos are as well.
The fact that they've had an easy schedule doesn't negate the fact that they're playing lights out right now. That being said, ***** horseface, the luckiest bastard in the history of the NFL, whose greatest legacy will be the regularity with which he throws teammates under the bus when things go wrong, and who has benefited from more bogus PI calls than any QB in NFL history.
And ***** the Donkeys and their stupid fans, the majority of whom thought Tebow was a legit QB and would of practically died for Him....that is until Peytie came to town and the forgot about Tebow like he never existed. I started going to their boards when McDaniels was hired and, on the whole, they are almost as idiotic and delusional as Jets fans.
I want Houston to grow a set and wipe the floor with them in two weeks because I DO NOT want Goddell's wet dream to come true with a Peytie/Brady matchup in Mile High where the refs WILL gift the Tennessee Teabagger another trip to the SB.
Houston has no chance to beat Denver b/c 1. They stink and 2. They cant play denver in the divisional round
I will not denigrate the Broncos record as you play the schedule you are given , but make no mistake this is definitely a team we should not fear.I sincerely believe our best will always beat their best effort, so like all games we have to show up and play well and if we do that we win.
Side note i don't want to hear about if McGahee had not fumbled they might have won because people conveniently forget Ridley fumbled the previous possession when we were already in field goal range and were driving for a touchdown otherwise that game was not close.

1. Really?... and Tom Brady hasnt?
2. If you really watchd our boards you would have seen that 7/10 people didnt like Tebow, but they liked winning.
3. NE will play Houston, we wont because we play lowest remaining seed, unless of course Houston beats NE in the divisional.

Or how about, if it happens, instead of making excuses you can just admit the Broncos were the better team?

The game is weeks away, if it's even going to happen. Shouldn't you be trolling the boards of the Bengals, Colts and Ravens?

That is correct,I would rather play the Broncos than the Texans.
Call me crazy,but that is the truth,I could see Foster and Andre Johnson being totally different players when its the playoffs and Schaub like I said can be mediocre like Flacco one game and pretty darn accurate the next,also JJ Watt is as big a force and playmaker as Miller is.
Knowshon Moreno and the Broncos running backs don't scare me,if the Pats secondary can do what they did in the first meeting they can handle Peyton enough to win the game should it get to that point,I am not saying we will win easily but if they meet it will be a close game as Brady vs. Manning almost always are.
I don't want to just assume the two teams will meet because that would be writing off the road divisional playoff teams,one of which are those Texans who will NOT be an easy out.
