Yesterday's game was just flat out ugly... they had it all on the line, yet no desire. Sloppy and poor execution. It was a decent first half, but too many stalled drives in the red zone and the wheels flew off the whole damn thing in the 2nd half. Meanwhile, the Patriots showed in HOU that they still have the burning desire to win with anyone.
They remain the team to beat.
Denver is void of true leadership quite honestly, esp on defense. That's the big difference - they have a ton of talent, but they fall short when it matters. The Raiders game was a great example.
Sure, they'll likely still win the division... but as I've said a few times all year, I'm not expecting anything from them in the playoffs.
The JETS are surging, which is interesting - they could cause a ruckus and that would be interesting.
