A belated CONGRATS!!!

The Broncos came to play and they were the better (and hungrier) team. They pushed the Patriots around at the LOS throughout the game.

I sure hope that, by Saturday, they give a definitive answer on whether or not Warner will start!!

I was pretty happy. I only wish I hadn't given up on Jake and benched him for Warner.

I've got the Broncos winning tonight, but not by enough to cover the four points.

McNair is another overrated QB. The Ravens have been winning on the strength of their defense. Statisically their offense is no better than when Boller was the QB.

Another great win by Denver. Their "D" is the NFL's best, imo.

With Kyle Boller, we'd be no better than 2-3 right now. No way we'd have made those comebacks against Cleveland and San Diego. Steve McNair may not be the MVP he once was, but he lends an air of confidence to the offense that can't be measured. Not to mention that he's only been in the organization for a little more than 2 months now. By the end of the season, if he stays healthy, you'll see a much more confident and efficient Steve McNair.

By the end of the season you'll see the Ravens out of the playoffs.

They were lucky to beat San Diego. Marty sat on a lead and Kaeding missed a makeable FG. Classic Martyball. As for the other Baltimore wins, their opponents combined record is 1-12. Six of their next 7 games will be against teams with winning records. McNair was terrible in the SD game (65.7 passer rating) and was abysmal against Denver (34.6 PR). In his last 2 games, both against quality opponents, McNair has thrown 5 INTs. That's Bollerish.

Agreed, check this out from CHFF...

The Bears are getting the pub, but Denver’s D has allowed one TD and 8.5 PPG against four teams with a total record of 14-5. Their four opponents averaged 23.7 PPG in their non-Broncos games.

I picked Denver to go all the way in the SB thread.

They will have to figure out how to score points on a more consistant basis before I will buy into that possibility.

Shanny had a conservative game plan that featured a vanilla offense. He knew his defense wouldn't allow Oakland more than 10 points. So, he kept the ball on the ground.

The Broncos defense is amazing. Moreover, Tatum Bell is looking a lot like Portis. He's been holding up well while getting the lion's share of the carries. Plummer is a questionmark and the Steelers rangy and quick defense could give Denver problems again if/when they meet in the playoffs. But I can't wait to see your team face the Colts. I'm looking fowrard to that game.

Broncos will win it all this year.

[RIyankee]

I will say this. As much as I repect Shanny and his team, Denver has the most obnoxious fans in the NFL. Everytime a pass falls incomplete, they shout, IN-COM-PLETE!!!. It like basball fans shouting "FOUL BALL"!!! Makes me want to root against them for the sole purpose of shutting them up.

The fans chanting J-E-T-S Jets! Jets! Jets! and bowwowchabowwowwow Go Pack Go! every 5 minutes say hi.

At least they are cheering for their teams. Broncos fans think their defense invented the incomplete pass.

Seriously, do the Broncos fans yell IN-COM-PLETE when one of their DB's drops an easy interception? Because that would seem counter-intuitive.

Perhaps the only thing more annoying is painting your face silver, throwing on a bunch of spikey shoulder pads, and feeling as though you're intimidating the opposing team.

Well, I've never been to a game in Denver, but I'd find it pretty silly to yell "Incomplete!" at every incomplete pass. Maybe it's just me.

And you have to admit that picture I posted above is kick-ass (not that that has anything to do with anything ).
