2	Broncos 7-1	1 Last Week: 3	Peyton Manning was 1-of-8 for 16 yards with two interceptions on passes thrown at least 15 yards downfield Sunday. Four of Manning's six interceptions this year were on deep throws.
3	Colts 5-2	1 Last Week: 2	On paper, the hard part is over. Indy has wins against San Francisco, Seattle and Denver in the books. A win in Houston could effectively end the 2-5 Texans' season.
4	Seahawks 7-1	-- Last Week: 4	Only the Chiefs have a better turnover margin than the Seahawks (plus-9), whose reward for surviving the feisty Rams is hosting the winless Buccaneers.
5	Saints 6-1	-- Last Week: 5	Drew Brees threw four touchdowns deeper than 10 yards downfield Sunday, his most in a game in the past eight seasons.

Jamaal is playing great, but we desparately need some of big plays he used to make. His longest run is like 24yds this season. Let's mix in some 40-50 yarders, not to mention the 80+ yd home run TDs.

That's definitely been noticable this year. The absence of JC home runs. I feel like it's a consequence of the scheme and O-line though.

Green Bay- great offense, defense is surprisingly average.
San Francisco- I guess they deserve to be here, but I don't like them for some reason.

I think having Jamaal Charles makes the offense better than wretched. The guy is one of the best offensive players in the league, you gotta admit. Plus Alex does alright occasionally. He adds an element with his running ability.

You're correct. I'm not a fan of this running scheme so far.

I think it's an absence of opportunity...

Charles is saving up all his home runs for Denver.

Yeah.

What I'm getting at is that it's not that JC is "dropping off" as such.

I don't get how the Chiefs get knocked down a notch after a very sound beating of the Browns, when the Broncos were nearly embarrassed at home by the ****ing Redskins. All this proves is these hacks just look at the scores and don't actually watch the game.

If you click the link he explained his reasoning...

Can't leave the Chiefs at No. 1 after they struggled all afternoon -- at home, mind you -- to beat a Cleveland team starting Jason Campbell at quarterback and Willis McGahee at tailback. Yes, Kansas City is ahead of Denver in the AFC West standings. But when the Broncos "struggle" at home, they win by three touchdowns.

Nightfyre · 10-29-2013, 09:54 PM

Yea, the Redskins melted down. I give Denver zero credit for that win. Pathetic showing of football, which you would know if you didn't turn the game off at half-time you fairweather welcher.

CaliforniaChief · 10-29-2013, 10:17 PM

I think you have to be reasonable. Denver absolutely was impressive in the 4th quarter in all phases of the game.

That said, we aren't going to just roll over and die like Washington did.

We're disciplined, well-coached, mentally-tough, and play well together.

Cannibal · 10-29-2013, 10:21 PM

I think we lose at Denver. But, if we can keep it together and learn from it, we can beat them at Arrowhead.

Sound beating? Nearly embarrassed? How do you justify either comment in relation to how the games played out?
