Well, it was an interesting week with the AFC West beating the NFC East in 3 of the 4 games... congrats to the Raiders for screwing that up and giving WAS the win.

Broncos 4-0
Chiefs 4-0
Chargers 2-2
Raiders 1-3

This week, the Chargers travel to Oakland... and if they lose that game, cover 'em with dirt as there really is no reason why SD should lose. Yeah, yeah - "any given Sunday", but it's the Raiders. Rivers is getting a lot of hype right now and he deserves it, but will he lead or will he falter?

My guess is that SD should defeat Oakland 27 - 17.

The Chiefs travel to the Titans -- two teams with solid records right now, but TN is without Locker and while that may not be a big deal, losing a starting QB is always tough. Ryan Fitzpatrick has had some success in the NFL and doesn't totally suck, and he'll have his hands full.

This should be a close one... TN has defeated PIT/Chargers/Jets, while losing to HOU in OT. They've played well and while I think KC wins, it will be close throughout most of the game.

My guess is that KC wins 17-14.

And, then the Broncos travel to Dallas... my beloved team vs the team I hate most, the Cowboys. Dallas is an ok team, but they have Romo and he's a prettier version of Plummer to be quite honest. Dallas has weapons and they'll present some issues for Denver, but Denver will win their 2nd road game of the year and move to 3-0 vs the NFC East. I think the Cowboys will score a number of points, but look at what Rivers did in week 4 ... Manning will make the beating more painful.

My guess is that Denver wins 37 - 27.

And, there you go... what says you?

I'm honestly surprised at the bolts this year, besides the poor coverage you mention they also have very little in the run department, if it werent for ancient Ronnie Brown they wouldnt have squat there.

Yet Rivers just keeps chuckin it and chuckin it well, if not for him that team is circling the drain already.

The thing is Denver keeps winning there will be an unspoken message sent out to all the refs and commentators to lean towards Denver. When that happens is when I really start disliking teams I have had any interest at all in .

You know what finesse teams hate?

PHYSICAL DEFENSES. You know what the Broncos have yet to face?

A PHYSICAL DEFENSE.

No, Baltimore is not physical anymore. That is not a Ray Lewis, and Ed Reed Bernard Pollard defense.

Until the Broncos face a team that is willing to rough up their receivers, knock down manning repeatedly, their air show, is all just that. Essentially playing 7 on 7.

The Chiefs aren't going to be those guys. The Chiefs will beat the hell out of the Broncos. Then, and then if they get up, and can take that punch, ill be ready to crown em.

They are WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE.

Regular season super heroes, with the leagues easiest schedule.

They will still choke when it matters. And I hope its the Chiefs with their hands around their donkey throats watching the light fade from their eyes......

We beat GB a couple years ago when they were fucking rolling. We were probably as good as the Jags then. Unfortunately we got fucking stuck with Play Good Football.

It won't happen, but it can.

Rivers is playing the best football he's played in years but can still be rattled. Their defense can't cover anyone.

I watched Rivers pretty close in the Houston game and after the pick 6, he was bad. He threw a 5 yard passed and missed by 3. He came back and made a decent through which Royal (IIRC) fucking BIFFED.

Get at Rivers and it is ballgame. Don't get after him, we lose by 3 touchdowns.

How is Denver a finesse team? KC is more of a finesse offense than Denver is. Just because we put up a lot of passing yards doesn't mean we're a finesse team. We can run the ball too, hell this is the best our running game has looked since Shanny was in Denver.

And our defensive line is physical as hell, we have the #1 run defense in the league.

I can't wait.. the Broncos apparently haven't played a defense worth a crap and KC appears to have one. The Chiefs haven't played an offense worth a crap and I know that Denver has one.

Bring it on...

Denver and the Chiefs have 2 common opponents, PHI and NY and they're 4-0 against them and they got there in different fashion. KC is winning more because of the defense with the offense not doing anything to lose the game, and it's quite the opposite for Denver. Both teams have had solid production from ST and DEF points production...

Neither team is one dimensional, but I'm honestly more content in where my team is playing... and I think they'll have two good games between them and I expect Denver to win in Denver and while it will be tough, I expect them to win @ KC. Overall, Denver is the more complete team in my opinion...

It should be a good race though for the rest of the year.

I think the main difference between KC and Denver is that they're a finished product while we're a work in progress. Barring major injuries, we know exactly what they'll be in week 11. I don't think you can say that about the Chiefs at this point. There's no telling what this team's final trajectory will be.

To me they're clearly the better team, but even after 4 weeks I really can't get a read on us on the offensive side of the ball, and as I've said before, if there's a defense built to face them, I think it's ours, with the physical attacking philosophy we have. Knocking receivers off routes and hitting Manning as much as possible is the only way to slow them down. All the zone and soft coverage I've seen against them so far is just asking Manning to cut you to ribbons. (Which is not saying we'll be successful, just that I think it's the right approach...)

Certainly possible. You just never really know what you're gonna get with Dallas any given week. There's two things that could happen. Scenario A: Denver beats Dallas to a bloody pulp 42-17. Scenario B: Dallas keeps pace with them enough to make it a close game in the 4th quarter where anything can happen but Denver is still likely to win.

I do fully expect us to lose in Denver and beat them in KC. We have the pass rush to rattle Manning and if Cooper pans out, the DBs (if matched up properly) to contain their receivers. Granted Manning and his receiving corps will get theirs, but not run all over us like they are doing to everyone else. With our ball control offense we can minimize their opportunities. Also considering that they traditionally struggle in KC (see last years scores.....38-3 in Denver and 17-9 in KC) and I like our odds in that game.

Granted Manning and his receiving corps will get theirs, but not run all over us like they are doing to everyone else. With our ball control offense we can minimize their opportunities. Also considering that they traditionally struggle in KC (see last years scores.....38-3 in Denver and 17-9 in KC) and I like our odds in that game.

You DON'T beat Manning with any kind of an extra pass rush. He's too smart for that and will KILL you. What you do is put your efforts into coverage and force him to hold on to the ball a tad longer. Cover the underneith stuff to try and reduce the YAC yards - a Denver weapon. The pass rush WILL come as a by-product of coverage if you can do that . You also knock the snot out of the WR's once they catch it and make them think twice before they catch anything again. IF you get the chance to knock that stupid horse off Manning's helmet, you take your shot, but you don't do anything to try and repeatidly force the issue. Manning is going to get his - make sure you attack his weapons.

On Offense you MUST SCORE TD's when you get close (Manning will), don't turn the ball over (He doesn't need extra posessions to kill you) and try to control the ball as mcuh as possible, but again do it with the intent of scoring TD's rather than for simply playing keep-away.

I know - easier said than done but when NE used to beat him, that's how they did it. Oh yeah - pray for BAD WEATHER - it will help...:)

Manning had over 300 yards passing, 3 TD's and 1 pick before the game even went into OT. And who's to say that our offense wouldn't have scored anyways if Holiday didn't return those kicks.

His two INTs and fumble lost make me think he wouldn't have scored. Your boy is a choke artist in the playoffs, always has been, always will be. Great in the regular season, but is inferior to his brother Eli when it matters most, the post season.

That's just it, we don't need to blitz to generate an extra pass rush. We have Hali, Houston, and Poe to take care of that for us. They can be our pass rush while we drop extra men into coverage and abuse his receivers like you mentioned.

Seriously? Take away the two return TDs by Holliday (considering one in a game is rare much less two) and there is no OT much less double OT. Baltimore piss pounded Denver and Manning could do nothing about it. Holliday gave you guys a chance to win it, not Peyton.

You're right... silly of me to count the returns. And, Denver's defense holds no blame in that one either, it's all the QB.

KC's offense is going to have to start producing - early and consistently - if they're going to make any noise down the stretch and be a legit threat for the division.

Honestly though, anything can happen... the Cowboys are certainly not without talent and it's in Dallas. They are such a weird team though, very average on the road and they'll make mistakes.

Peyton is very comfortable with the defense they play and it's not like they'll throw something out there that he hasn't seen before.

They put up big points vs the Giants and Rams at home... and were fairly pedestrian @ KC and @ SD. They had a great 2nd quarter vs SD and then goose eggs in the other 3 quarters.

They gave up nearly 300 yards and 2 TDs to Alex Smith.
They gave up about 400 yards and 3 TDs to Phillip Rivers.

Eli put up 450 yards and 3 TDs on Dallas... Bradford nearly hit 250 and 1 TD, but he's a spare.

So yeah, in three of the 4 games... they haven't proven to be a defense that can shut down a passing attack, unless you're the Rams.

The Broncos haven't given up less than 20 points all year. The only time Dallas scored less than 20 was against the Chiefs.

Dallas has the talent to keep the game relatively close which will allow them to continue running the ball to keep pressure off of Romo and their defense. I also suspect Manning is due for a turnover or two. That is a must for Dallas to win.

Broncos fans expecting a blowout and a cakewalk are delusional. Denver could easily win by two scores by icing the game late in the fourth quarter, but regardless of who wins it will be a close game throughout.

I haven't projected a blowout, nor am I expecting one. Dallas does have a lot of talent, but they're leaders-less. There is not single person on that team that they rally around when things hit the fan and times get tough.

In 3 of their 4 games, they've rushed for fewer than 92 yards as a team. Hell, I 'suspect' Manning is due for a turnover... it's bound to happen at some point, so kudos in advance if you nail that one. :D

Another few interesting tidbits about Dallas through 4 games:
- They have scored 58 first half points
- They have scored 47 second half points
They don't necessarily get better after halftime.

Defensively, they have given up 30 points in the First half while surrendering 55 points in the Second half.

So, offensively they score less in the second half while giving up nearly twice as many points in the second half.

That's a recipe for good things if you're the Broncos.

The Jax game was a beating.
There really wasn't any garbage time vs Dallas.
Up 23-9 vs PHI in the 4th and they give up a TD to McCoy.

Obviously they haven't had as much garbage time as Denver, but they also haven't given up any points when the game is no longer in doubt.

We will see how they hold up when they are truly tested for a full game this weekend. If Denver's defense isn't playing with a more than one score lead for most of the game, they will not have the same luxuries they have been enjoying. As we all know defense is much easier with a large lead.

In the three games excluding the beatdown of the hapless Raiders, Denver has only outscored opponents in the first half by a combined 6 points. This tells me that when the other team is actually in the game, they have been played very close. Something I think Dallas can do for the entire game.

Denver is without a doubt a team that comes out of the half with guns blazing after making the adjustments.

Down 14-17 at the half to BAL, outscores them 38-10 in the 2H.
Up 10-9 at the half to NY, outscores them 31-14 in the 2H.
Up 27-7 at the half to OAK, actually only scores 10 to their 14 in the 2H.
Up 21-13 at the half to PHI, outscores them 31-7 in the 2H.

BAL, NY and PHI looked good for the most part until after halftime... it is what it is and suspect the same to happen with Dallas, especially when you consider the fact that Dallas scores fewer points on offense in the 2H while giving up twice as many points on defense in the 2H.

There's a very good reason for the Broncos' score differential between the first and second half. Our greatest weapon is Manning's brain. The time when he is best able to use his brain is changing our game plan during halftime. It was the same way last season. We would enter halftime in a close game, or even losing pretty badly. Then we would decimate the other team in the second half. It's not so much that the other teams are capable of defending all that the Broncos can do as it is that Manning hasn't had a chance to adjust the team to what the opponent is doing.

That being said if Dallas has the horses to stay in the game the whole time, it is the execution that is their problem. They will definitely need a turnover or two in the second half.

I don't think we've had any garbage time aside from the Jacksonville game. Every week has been tight going into the 4th quarter. Side effect of an offense that can't produce consistently.

(I also think that's relatively irrelevant with this defense. They don't strike me as a group that will ever let up. And it also means they don't get the benefit of teams playing from behind and going pass-happy.)

ROFL Sorry "friend" Denver gets a schedule break year end and year out. You made my point with the Saints as they have a stellar record also in part because they too have played 3 out of 4 at home. But Denver's 3 out of 3 yielded them the MOST REST POSSIBLE between games as well. Furthermore, How many get their first 4 out of 6 at home? Not many. I'd be willing to bet that those who do would have a winning record. True KC is home Week 6, 7, 8 but they will have played 3 ROAD games through week 5 and they're on the ROAD the last 3 out of 4 to end the season. Again, the START of a season is very important. The schedule was stacked in Denver's favor to get off to a good one. Argue all you want but it's a fact that the NFL playes favorites and your Cheating Donx have always been one. If you don't think an easy start benifits a team, then you must be Forrest Gump. :D

Oh - go to a fins BB and see if they're comnplaining about opening 3 out of 4 on the road. They are, but it's kind of different there since everyone else in their division has played 2 home and 2 road, including the Patriots and no team in the East gets its first 4 out of 6 at home.

You guys crack me up, but I think it's because you've been treated with kid's gloves for too long. If there's any extra bite in my comments, it's because both our teams are 4-0 and since we're heading into the 2nd month of the season and KC is relevant again (not really a backhand slap, that was direct :D ) ... I'm a bit more blunt.

And, as a fan of this Broncos' team - it's really hard not to be too boastful (chest beating). I haven't had to deal with what you guys have had over the last several years (backhanded slap)... but, dealing with Orton and Tebow was enough. It's great to be mentally in the same mindset as I was in the mid/late 90s.

Those were fun teams... it's really good to believe again, so if my inner sports fan prick shows himself... I guess it's all good.

You guys do tend to whine and look for excuses though.... just saying.

Honestly, I wish the best for you guys (passive aggressive) as long as Denver finishes ahead of you in the standings when it's all said and done.

Miles Austin will likely be out as well. Even IF he plays it won't be much. The hamstring issue that caused him to miss the SD game last week is still giving him problems...

The Dallas officials can cancel out any injuries.


Wait, Peyton is playing in Dallas......The officials' heads might explode while trying to decide who to **** over.

ROFL No need for the TEACHER'S PET to ever "WHINE" about anything, and Denver certainly is that. In fact I heard a rumor that the NFL is changing it's name to the MFL - Manning Football League.

Just ONCE I wish Denver could be on the "have not" side and I guarantee you would have a different perspective on things. Until then better stick to, "Hi, Im Forrest - Forrest Gump. People call me Forrest Gump!" At least you'll have an excuse...

You have had Elway, now Manning.


You guys (as fans) have been spoiled. I admire and envy the way that the Broncos run their franchise. They do everything they need to win.

Right, but the whole teacher's pet and darling of the NFL thing is off... if that were the case, PM would have a few more rings, no?

Compared to Denver - KC is certainly on the other side of the NFL Favorite line. To not see that authenticates your status as a Donx fan. :clap:

What are you talking about?

Were you referring to the TD pass that Foles threw?
