They won the Super Bowl fair and square and are still playing at that high level. We will have to play tough, mistake-free football to beat the Broncos either in their stadium or ours, so let's not waste energy trying to diminish how good they are (or might be) by the end of the season.except on 12/18 i mean
it was a great effort @Cincy but still ...
most if not all big calls going their way
dodged a number of turnovers
dodged injuries to a violent team (plus Ward, Okung and another guy all returning to the game)
3-0 after arguably the toughest part of their schedule (considering circumstances)
by this rate (incl Pitt.) we might need to win both big away games to get homefield
crazy
I suspect our adjustment factor to the altitude has more to do with our poor play in Denver as opposed to it being a road game in the general sense.

I know someone will say 55 yards per game is a lot but it really came down to the Pats falling asleep against the lolphins in the 2nd half after going up 28 points. Which the Pats came back on 3 days rest and pitched a shutout and not only a shutout but didn't even let Houston run a play in NE territory until 5 minutes were left in the 3rd quarter.
Tougher because of last season's records? That was last season, not this season.It's early to look at these stats, not just because it's only three games, but also because the Broncos' schedule was much tougher so far.
I think that they're both good and lucky at the same time--if that makes any sense.
