Denver's focus now is to stay healthy and continue to improve on defense. Not sure what is going to come from Elvis' injury, but it doesn't look good. We got a big scare with Thomas yesterday and Decker is dinged up too.
Thankfully, the rest of the schedule is fairly easy and they have a nice divisional lead. Broncos are 6-3 with 7 games remaining and really, it's only Baltimore that looks scary.
vs Chargers
@ Chiefs
vs Bucs
@ Raiders
@ Ravens
vs Browns
vs Chiefs
In theory, just based on play - Denver is staring at a potential 6-1 finish with Baltimore being the lone threat of a loss. However, @ BAL is a game they need to win to show they're ready and built for post season success. The Bucs are a bit tricky as well as they have some firepower too, but looking at the defenses, I'll give the nod to Denver more often than not.
The remaining AFCW games could present trap games... and again, the injury concerns do concern me with a few key players.
Maybe Denver is starting to find their groove, it's definitely a mix of poor opponents lately and improved performances by Denver. Chargers, Saints, Bengals and Panthers are their last 4 wins.. not a lot of greatness there, so I'm definitely tempering my enthusiasm a bit. They need to go toe to toe with Ravens and Bucs and do no worse than .500. I think if they lose either, it's going to be concerning to me.
That's asking a lot though... considering the 4-0 run, to go 6 of 7 or 7 of 7 is an incredibly tall order for any team. We shall see.
