The Pats beat two opponents (Atlanta and Baltimore) who are head-and-shoulders better than what you've faced so far.
If you want to say that the Broncos are exceeding expectations, fine. That the D is performing well, fine. That Orton is managing the offense well, that Knowshon has been solid so far, that Brandon Marshall is a top-flight WR... okay. But please don't act like the Broncos are some sort of unstoppable powerhouse simply because they've beaten a few pushovers so far. Your offense is as good as New England's? Ooookay.
It's pretty simple. New England, San Diego, Baltimore, Pittsburgh. All teams expected to make the playoffs. Two doing pretty good, two struggling but still dangerous. Beat TWO of those four in the next month, and I'll be impressed. Hell, beat ONE and I'll concede the Broncos might win the AFC West.

If I'm not mistaken... 1 of ATL's 2 wins is against Carolina (winless) and two of Baltimore's 3 wins are against KC and Cleveland (winless). Again, they were both 'expected' to do well, but they haven't played a bunch of powerhouses either. Just sayin...
