Once again an opposing fan base useing our perceived "weak" schedule to disparage our record. Well we can play that game too.

Lets take a look at Denver's opponents rushing ranks.

Bal 26th

KC 6th x2

Det 32nd

Minn 4th

Oak 28th x2

Clev 22nd

GB 12th

Ind 29th

Chi 11th

N.E. 30th

S.D. 31st x2

Pitt 16th

Cincy 13th.

Only two in the top 10, KC and Minny. KC. rushed for 144yds and 116yds, and the Vikes rushed for 144yds. They got Chi without Forte and the Steelers without Bell.

The majority of the teams they faced are well the bottom half of the League in rushing.

It will be interesting to see how they handle the best and most verstile running game in tge NFL.

Bro, good points and great research. Easy formatting and easy to read. 

I'm glad you put this together, as I was worried about their elite D and run defense. However, knowing what the Chiefs and Vikings did to that run D gives me hope that Shula and co will craft up a mighty fine game plan that will dominate them.

This is a very good point. Not only is our ranking better, but our scheme is more complex. KC and Minny both have QBs who are not immobile. Both Teddy and Alex can take off when needed. However, their run game is pretty much traditional. Our run game is much more complex.

I don't believe they have any idea what's about to hit them.

According to @tarheels since Denver already played the Vikes, and Teddy B is basically Cam... WE ARE DOOOOOOOOOMED!!!

Me either. I'm not gonna be too over confident, but Cam is a monster. Let's not forget that this defense has gotten hot. If our pass rush can generate half the pressure it did against AZ. Whew...

Trying to stop our offense is like trying to plug a leaky dam, sure you might think you've stopped one thing, but that just opens up something else, and eventually they just get overwhelmed 

I think that is truly the thing. It's such a multifaceted offense that if one starts working and you try to stop it, you open up an opportunity for the other facet to shine. Stop Cam's running opens up Stewart or the pass. Stop Stewart, then u could lose contain on Cam or free up Olsen/WRs. Very tough to defend. You have to make the right choice EVERY TIME.

Im trying not to be over confident because the Broncos do have a talented defense,  and anything can happen on the big stage. But I feel more optimistic about how we match up with Denver than I have felt against any other big time game we've ever played.

I don't really understand the point of downplaying your upcoming opponent. The game will be played out on the field not with stats. It's similar to saying the team you just beat sucks and at the same time complaining about people questioning your schedule. I am not saying this was done by the thread starter but just in general.

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
