The D wasn't that good even before all this.

But to think Drew Brees - with all those weapons - is just going to fall apart because Sean Payton isn't on the sideline?

Wishful thinking.

Yes bronco fans, you should win the AFC West. That's a given. Anything less can only be considered a failure.

If that happens don't fight the feelings to jump off of bridges and other tall stuff. John Elway expects it from you.

Ya, look for the Saints and Drew Brees to light it up this year. I don't know how good the team will be, but that offense under Brees' command will be it's usual terror to defend.

You are assuming he signs and doesn't come to KC :)

Hahahaha now that was funny

I said nothing about Sean. But him not being around could be a problem.

This thread consists of too many homers.

Cassel played 9 games, Orton played 3.

There's something wrong with your statement.

There is nothing wrong with my statement.

Cassel was able to move the ball in one game and Orton did so in two.

The rest of the games, our offense was the 3nout champ and that gave extra possessions that our defense had to defend and that impacted our yardage difference and even moreso our points allowed.

I wonder if anyone has a breakdown of "total drives defended" or "average yards gained per possession"

Our offense was fine against:

Minnesota
Indianapolis
Oakland
San Diego
Green Bay
Oakland

Anyway, I dunno what difference it makes.

We got 5 bogus wins because we faced UFL QB talent.

Wut?

It was fine in both Oakland games. 300+ yards.

Am I in the minority who thinks matt cassel and this very good to great roster will win this division? Plus our easier SOS. I think we win 11 games which will win this division. Now winning in the postseason with matt is another story!

What it comes down too is...

Broncos season success hinges on Peyton Manning from breaking his nick.



Chiefs season success hinges on Matt Cassel breaking his nick.
