Is there another team.....

this. Rams tried to play that tough man game with us when we played them last and they lost... Badly.

That's because Bradford was/is terrible and they didn't have a legit running game.

[PanthersATL]

Is there another team that can match the Panthers intensely physical style of play. I think Seattle define can/did.

 

Didn't somebody say earlier this season that teams that play against us are really banged up for the next week after?

if you watched the game you would remember how physical the game was. We were hitting big, getting after it, the Rams tried to answer back hitting hard and ended up getting penalized for it. Then their QB tore his acl. 

The question wasn't whether they were a good team but a physical one. Jeff fisher teams always try to be physical but when they played us they lost that war with us. Plain and simple

it is popular this week to think that Denver has dropped to the bottom of the undefeated teams but that defense is for real.  The have the four F's...... Fast, Furious, Fysical and Friggin Smart

I don't care how Manning looks now, he will be better in December and January, he has weapons and the Defense will have them in position to play well into the playoffs

Interesting that this 6-0 team hasn't been named in this thread yet.

Might be other teams as tough but only one team has Cam Newton

manning will progressively get worse as the season goes on. Even before surgery Peyton has been notoriously bad in cold weather. After surgery hasn't helped. He still has alot

of cold weather Denver games plus plays the Vikings and bears.

Denver's defense is amazing, but again..not smash mouth like us.  They're more finesse.  Us and the Jets are the only current great, smash mouth style defenses imo.

Manning and Denver won 6, lost 3 in Nov/Dec games in 2014.   In 2013 they won 6, lost 2

Yes, Manning has a history of failing in cold playoff games but don't discount what he has done in the regular season the last 2 years.

The Bills' DL fits the description, but not the whole defense.  Their LBs and DBs are soft.  We got bone rattlers at every level.

I spoke nothing about the Denver Broncos winning or losing in December. Specifically mannings play. Which has been getting worse dating back to the end of last season. He could play terrible and the Broncos still find ways to win cause of their defense. But if you think manning will magically return to his form from years ago you are sadly mistaken.

I say Rams, Cardinals and of course Seahawks are the "toughest teams". I would probably include Broncos in that this year as well.

Sorry but I am confused.  Are you saying that the Bronco's have a great regular season record the past two seasons in cold weather in spite of  Manning?  

It is easy to play connect the dots and discount what Manning can do.  But if Trent Friggin Dilfer can win a ring with a great defense I'm sure as hell not discounting Manning.

They didn't lose because they weren't as physical. They handled our physicality but we were just the better/smarter team.

What part of Denver is finesse? They are very physical up front and that's what their LBs excel in. There DBs are skilled but are physical as well.

 

And the Steelers are pretty physical as well. Both on offense(esp with Ben out) and on particularly on D. That physicality helps their short comings (talent wise) on D.
