Well, if that's how you're gonna play it... most of the Patriots' D is new, so McDaniels will have little to go on. And on O, McDaniels has no immediate familiarity with Fred Taylor, Julian Edelman, Joey Galloway (if he can get off the bench)... And, yeah, McDaniels might know Brady, Moss, and Welker... but knowing them doesn't equal stopping them. That's one of the best QBs in NFL history, one of the best WRs in NFL history, and a little white guy who's quickly turning into one of the best clutch WRs around in terms of moving the chains and making things happen.

Like I said, I concede that the Broncos are better than expected. I had them pegged for 2nd or 3rd in the AFC West, at around 5 to 7 wins, maybe 8. It looks like they have a good shot at finishing over .500, maybe even winning the division. But 4-0 can turn sour quickly as well, so let's not print those playoff tickets until we see them finish this upcoming stretch against very tough teams.
