Broncos: Easiest path to the #1 seed ever?

[I.M. Fletcher]

Also, while I'm sure you could pile up some equally impressive patriots stats...I stumbled upon this tweet that gives some credence to the Broncos being kind of good

"@MoveTheSticks: DEN top 5 ranking: points, points allowed, sacks, sacks allowed, yards, yards allowed, 3rd down offense, 3rd down defense, passing yards"

We're a pretty balanced team. Not mentioned in that tweet, we were 14 points shy of the largest second half point differential in NFL history, at +150 something.

So perhaps we're not as good as our record indicates, but I certainly wouldn't take us lightly. We've come a long way since our last match up.

I doubt anyone here would take the Broncos at home with Manning as quarterback lightly. We just dont have much room for statistics proving superiority, especially when it comes attached to a Manning lead team.

I am over it, I was stating the circumstances regardless they lost no shame losing by 1 point on the road to a Ravens team with Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Ngata, and Webb fully healthy. (You guys played them with a hobbled Reed and Ngata + no Lewis or Webb). Cardinals loss was a total failure, should've won but they didn't. Do you have anything to add or are you going to ignore every statistic that stats the Broncos are not as impressive as they seem?

What stats? I'm sure these stats mean more than any tailored or random stats you probably pulled out of your arse.

#2 Total Offense
#3 Total Defense

Aww very long spam well done your learning. However just because drugs were involved in your birth doesn't mean every one else is on them.

BTW this is just another example of someone who tends to skew stats to their advantage lol.

Again, I present you the FACTS.

Ravens beat Patriots by 1 point.
Broncos beat Ravens by 17 points.

(BTW Ravens scored 2 garbage time TDs)

If you're going to play the matchups game as if it's meaningful, Denver's an automatic loser.

Heres some:

Manning's best QB stretch came in game 4-9 he has gotten worse since then
Broncos only 2 good wins against teams on 3 and 2 game losing streaks
Broncos opponent W-L during streak: 68-108 (.386)
Pats offensive points vs Broncos last 3 games: 39 points per game
Peyton Manning in the Playoffs: 9-10
Tom Brady in the Playoffs: 16-6
Patriots: #1 Total Offense
Denver: #3 Total Defense and still no answer for Brady

Get lost

Yep another fact.

Wasn't playing the matchup game. Was just saying it's funny when this guy tries to validate a loss instead of working with FACTS.

"BUT, BUT, BUT, the Ravens were healthy when we lost to them and they weren't when you played them!!!!1!!"

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!:rocker:

I appreciate evrything youre saying. I love good input from other fanbases but...

Dont compare beating the Ravens with MANY starters missing on defense ( they lost to the the CHARLIE BATCH LED STEELERS) and the bungals in a losing skid to playing the Seahawks in Seattle and a healthy Ravens team early in the season. Not to mention we lost those 2 games by 2 points...

A loss is a loss, I'll consent to that. But our 4 losses have come by less points than your three losses.

Our division has 19 wins, yours has 13 which is an average of 2 more wins per team. Not all that close. AFC west is easily the worst division in football.

Both were making "cases for the playoffs." Neither did, and dont amp them up. They were never the hottest teams in football. Certainly not the Bucs.

A 7-9 Miami team would be a top 3-4 team you played during your winning streak. Yes we struggled but we just beat them 28-0.

 

[Deus Irae]

Yep another fact.

"BUT, BUT, BUT, the Ravens were healthy when we lost to them and they weren't when you played them!!!!1!!"

Of course you were playing the matchups game:

...

Ravens beat Patriots by 1 point.
Broncos beat Ravens by 17 points.

(BTW Ravens scored 2 garbage time TDs)

Are you really going to start flat-out lying on top of the general trolling?

I dont think its funny its reality, something you've lost concept of. The fact is the Ravens were healthy when we played koodus for beating a banged up team, I don't really care. In the end we'll see who wins, I just think the signs point to it not being the Donkeys

I KNEW I recognized this CYA clown..it's the Waco Kid....gotta be...

 

[TheBostonStraggler]

We will see. We won every one of our games during our 11 game win streak by at least 7 points, beating the teams we were supposed to beat, and quite soundly by that. Unlike some other teams... *COUGH*cardinals*COUGH*

Week 12: Denver versus a team that scored the fewest points in the AFC (to the tune of almost 6 TDs less) and 1 of only 5 teams in the AFC to give up more than 400 points. A team that is overwhelmingly considered to be the worst team in the NFL, KC. The Brady Quinn led KC team had possession of the ball in Denver territory (the 41 yard line) with 6 minutes and 57 seconds remaining in the game with the score KC 9, Denver 14. The Final score was 17 to 9.

Cough Cough....So you were saying something about "soundly" beating teams you should beat??

Heres some:

LOL you didn't even provide any numbers with this OPINION.

Broncos only 2 good wins against teams on 3 and 2 game losing streaks

"Good wins" is not a valid statistic, sorry.

Broncos opponent W-L during streak: 68-108 (.386)

Congrats, you finally provided some numbers.

Pats offensive points vs Broncos last 3 games: 39 points per game

Noted.

Peyton Manning in the Playoffs: 9-10

Noted.

Tom Brady in the Playoffs: 16-6

Tom Brady playoff record vs. Broncos: 1-1

Patriots: #1 Total Offense

Patriots: #25 Total Defense

Denver: #3 Total Defense and still no answer for Brady

"Still no answer for Brady" is not a statistic, sorry.

Get lost

Get more valid stats then try again, so you don't get ETHERED next time.

I outlined in an earlier post (which you ignored as I said) that this was his best stretch of games was games 4-9. Ok call good wins "Quality" wins over opponents that finished .500 or better.

The statistic for no answer for Brady is your #3 defense allowing 39 points a game to him, thought that was fairly evident.

Now go back to playing video games where you can ETHER some ninjas

Goodnight, I hope the board is cleansed of you in the morning

Here's some FACTS for you,clown

Texans beat Broncos by 6 points
Patriots beat Texans by 28 points

your 'facts' about common opponents means squat

The next team your Broncos face in 2012/13 that you could say was a quality win over a quality opponent will be your first.....if you ever have an opportunity to say so,that is.

Unless you consider the beat up Ravens or Bengals as 'quality' opponents ...you haven't beaten any yet.

anyone who clamours for proof by stats, then names off total defense as one of those stats deserves to be hit over the head with a bowling ball.

1. Correct, but you conveniently left out that they had won 2 in a row and were playing their best football. They also followed up the loss to us with 3 straight wins, including giving the falcons their first loss. At this time the Saints were a team that were in the hunt.

2. Your Bucs point is more valid, but the Broncos completely shut down a good offense until a couple of 4th Q. garbage time TD's

3. Yes beating the Bengals... you know, the 2 straight playoff team that beat Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Washington, and the Giants (when they were still good.)

4. Yes the Ravens, they were only missing 4 starter that game while the Broncos were missing 3. They had a 3 game losing strak to 3 GOOD teams while really banged up and everyone wants to discount them. Keep in mind that they beat NE.

5. Agreed, but a quick review of the Patriots' road record reveals some pretty scary problems for them when they come to Denver. They are 0-2 against teams over .500 on the road. And they struggled mightily against very bad teams in Miami and Jacksonville in their last 2 road games, only winning 23-16 in both of them.

Who were on a losing streak. The Bungles are streaky, every team in the AFC knows that.

Only 4? Get real. and TSizzle was playing with a torn bicep. 3 good teams!!! One who had Charlie Batch at the helm. Once again, get real.

Playing in Seattle and Baltimore, when they were healthy, and losing by 1 each time does not deter me from being confident about playing in Mile High. Your offense evolved? Well, the youngest defense in the NFL evolved too. (it might be second youngest dont really want to look it up right now)
