Broncos: Easiest path to the #1 seed ever?

[CYA_PATS_DEN>NE_2012AFCCG]

And the Patriots dismantled the Broncos the last 3 times they played them, including their last loss. Hard to imagine the broncos defense slowing down the Patriots when they have been completely unable to do so in the last 12 quarters.

We'll see.

You can definitely not count on running all over us again, the run D has been shored up entirely since the first part of the season. The weaknesses vs. TE's I'll give you that. And now that Peyton can count on the D not putting him in 10 or 17 point holes in the first half (first 6 games of the season) he's a lot more comfortable.

Hope you're not expecting another blowout cause it's not gonna happen. I'll be back here after that game if and when it happens, no matter what the outcome.

We dont care. Stay away, even if we beat you.

You have not added anything insightful to the conversation.

Youre an ***clown. Gronk has more TDs than Thomas depsite missing 5 games. Get off your high horse and good luck covering a monster who had 3 TDs against you in the playoffs last year.

Oh boy, here comes the wave of chest thumping Denver fans. Right on cue. "we'll be eating crow?" . Pent up emotions flowing out like fools.:nono::nono: Get in line guys. We've seem em all come and go. Denver fans will come and go like leaves in the wind. :bye2:

That WAS a pretty awesome catch. Indefensible if he can keep doing that.

Can they make that play on demand? I doubt it.

Cool story bro. Nice post count too, you're probably just some scrub bandwagon fan who want to hop aboard the already overflowing wagon now that the Pats have made the playoffs.

I think I've been here about as long as you LOL. " 'We' don't care," classic.

Yes, but two of the last three times the Pats have been in the playoffs we've seen them go "one and done". So it isn't that far-fetched to think they could get knocked off in the divisional round. Smart money is put on the Pats but still.....

Absolutely, but my point was that the Bronco fan is already looking ahead and there's no guarantee that both, or either will be there in the AFCCG. I raised the Brady number only if someone wanted a frame of reference, compared to Manning, who by the way has been '1 and done' 3 of the last 4 times in the playoffs....

Because this is the first year theyve made the playoffs in a long time.

Cool story bro? Are you 15? You probably have been on this board as long as me. And you have more posts. And arent a Pats fan...

The only reason Im on a message board wasting my time is I just got ACL and MCL surgery and am couch surfing. I wanted to talk some football, which doesnt happen when youre on the board.

Why are you on a Pats message board? Do you have nothing better to do with your life? Its NYE for Christs sake.

Riddle me the answer to this:

Gronk 11 TDs, 11 GP. Thomas 10 TDs, 16 GP. Additionally, Gronk had 3 TDs in the playoffs last year against the Broncos. Good luck covering him.

Brady has more total TDs than Manning, too. Also, less turnovers.

We gashed you for 160 yards on the ground last time we played.

Dennard, Talib, Mankins and Hernandez did not play last match up.

According to you our #25 total defense is the only relevant defensive statistic. What about #1 in turnovers? What about #9 in scoring D?

Manning may go one and done for the 8th time in his career. What a shame that would be. Youd probably still troll the Pats message board. Your defense will have to step up big time if you want to go far. Manning threw 3 TDs and 7 INTs the year he won the SB. GOAT, easily.

Oh the irony. And I like how you have a built in excuse, way to think ahead of time. Bravo.

Want to talk football? Go ahead. You make it sound like me being here will somehow prevent you from doing that. Can't figure it out for yourself? Here, I'll help you. SEE THAT IGNORE BUTTON? PRESS IT.

Now get out of my face, bandwagon scrub.

1)I would lie about getting knee surgery? I go to school in Denver and did it dropping a cliff at Vail.

2) Im a Pats fan on a Pats board while I watch the Clemson game. Youre a broncos fan trolling. Not irony by any means. I have a purpose for being here, youre just a clown.

3) If/when the Patriots meet the Broncos, I'm going to be even more obnoxious than last year because i know there are jack ***** Bronco fans like yourself. Ill be at C&G or the Stadium right by DU, stop by if you want to be ridiculed along with the rest of the Denver fans. Youre probably not even from Denver and are just a Manning fanboy who jumped on the bandwagon though... Two can play your ridiculous game.

Sorry Im feeding the troll..

I was referring more to your holier-than-thou attitude with the "Why are you even here? It's NYE for Christsakes" that somehow having a bum knee makes it better. You're not the sharpest tool in the shed so I'll give you a pass on that one.

2) Im a Pats fan on a Pats board while I watch the Clemson game. Youre a broncos fan trolling. Not irony by any means. I have a purpose for being here, youre just a clown.

Yeah you have a purpose being here, that purpose is being a bandwagon fan. At least I'll admit being a troll. Where were you at the beginning of the season? Last year? During the "golden years"? Convenient that you join the board right when the playoffs start with your team in it. Coincidence? I think not.

I've had a Broncos message board account since 2005. You've had an account for your team since... yesterday?

3) If/when the Patriots meet the Broncos, I'm going to be even more obnoxious than last year because i know there are jack ***** Bronco fans like yourself.

I've been a Broncos fan since I can remember watching football (early '90s) but nice try.

Yup. The Broncos used the Pats' pick to draft Thomas as the Pats traded down twice before picking Devin McCourty.

Many people were surprised that the Broncos picked Demaryous Thomas over Dez Bryant but it was the right choice.

Of course the pick that the Pats got from Denver to move up was used on Aaron Hernandez so the Pats aren't complaining.

One of the few things Broncos fans can thank McDaniels for lol.

Hit the ground.
















Just kidding. Luckily for us Number 21 is no longer on our team haha.

EDIT 2: Actually not kidding, that really did hit the ground. Oh well, not like it woulda changed anything anyway.

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 remember the Pats thrashed the brokebacks earlier this year. It wasn't even really close at all either. The Pats are now playing much better than that too. And the defense is playing much better now.

I loved the Thomas pick. If he hadn't hurt his foot and basically lost most of two seasons, things could be a lot different in Denver today.
