Broncos enjoying the underdog role

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.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
