Denver looks incredible right now on both sides of the ball. Luckily it's still October. They have a much easier schedule than the Pats and will probably finish as the #1, which'd require a Pats win in Denver to get that elusive 4th Lombardi. All we can go by is what we've seen. Last night I saw a Denver team pretty much move the ball at will on SD and put up 35 and go 4-4 tds inside the 20. And SD was supposed to be a really good team, and after the NYJ game we kept hearing "division games are always tough." What was tough for Denver last night? 100% in the red zone, 62% third downs, no sacks given up, 136 rushing yards on 4.6 a carry, receivers running wide open all night...
Contrast that with the last Pats game vs the NYJ where Geno ****ing Smith moved the ball at will on the Pats defense and the the ****king NYJ only punted THREE times. I'm hoping these tough, gritty wins (albeit over ****e teams) somehow transform the Pats into a team that doesn't roll over in the AFC Chmpionship game as they have the last two years...
