I'm not sure this is something we should make light of as it's something our team has used as motivation all year long and we've seen how it has worked.

I'm not saying I think we're going to lose because of that, but it's not something I would dismiss either, not with how Rivera has used it to motivate his guys all year long and has openly spoke about how it has helped the team stay focused this year.

I said they would beat the Patriots. I also said I would rather see Peyton vs. our defense than Brady. Broncos fans can kick rocks.

And let's not forget that we were treated in much the same fashion. You can't beat so and so. You won't beat them in the playoffs. I don't see them slowing down Fitzgerald/Brown/Floyd. 17-1 now. With much more convincing wins against IMO more talented teams.

I can't remember what Denver board it is was on but someone started a thread about how they could have designed runs for Peyton Manning or something as a wrinkle for us to plan for.

Important to remember folks....marijuana is legal in Denver.  Don't do drugs kids.  You say crazy things.

Could you imagine what would happen if Peyton took off? Their passing offense is built around the quick throw, so our LBs won't be dropping near as deep, and we know how quickly Luke, TD and Shaq can close ground. Holy moly...I don't know if PM would walk away from that one.

Yep this team is at its best when they're the underdog. I feel like so many here and just talking to others have already chalked up the W.

I really hope all the negative comments made about this team throughout the year is enough to carry them through these last 2 weeks.

Denver didn't get to the SuperBowl by accident. They have a HOF QB playing in his last ever game which will have those guys amped up to make sure he goes out on top. Plus that embarrassing SB loss from 2 seasons ago is still fresh in their minds.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years.

      Todd Bowles is losing his locker room… Canales meanwhile

      By amcoolio · Posted

      All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
