Sure, it has to come from somewhere... and all he can do now is live up to and expand on it. I believe that when he talks and interacts with his teammates, they see him as genuine and they believe in him.
If you believe in your leader (whether its sports or anything in life) you're going to do what you need to do to raise the bar and it brings a team together. Now, he can't run on this fuel for a career, so yes - he has to improve the areas that everyone picks apart.
I'm interested to see what happens on Sunday - they need to instill the threat of a passing game, but they do have two critical things that you need to win in the playoffs - sound defense and a nice running game.
They need to get back to some of the things they were doing prior to the Chicago game and leave it all on the field ... time to go for broke.
Conservative is fine... pound the ball down their throats, eat up the clock... wear down their defense. But, they have to produce points. If the defense plays like they have played for the most part... 17-20 points can win this game and Denver can do that if they play 'not to lose' like they did on Sunday.
