Yesterday was NOT the Superbowl... NOW ONTO DENVER!

This will be an interesting game for us. Many Bronco fans have been calling for the youth to finally take over on the defense. Due to injuries on the D, we are finally getting our wish. Wesley Woodyard, Spencer Larsen and Josh Barrett are all rookies who have stepped in due to injuries and have excelled to this point. We don't have much of a pass rush, but our run D has improved. Your run game will be a litmus test to see where we are truly at. Add to that the fact that Champ Bailey and DJ Williams could both return this week and it should be a fun one.

As far as our O is concerned, I think we can pass on your secondary. It'll be interesting to see what our run game does. Selvin Young may be back and we're giving Corey Boyd his shot. Our very young Oline has been great in pass protection, but less than brilliant in run blocking...although there has been weekly improvement. Hopefully they can get it done. Your front 7 is stout...prolly top 5-8 in the league.

I won't go so far as to make a prediction. On paper, you should be able to run on us all day, but the one thing about Denver this year is their unpredictability.

Well...Good Luck this week and may both teams stay healthy and have a rematch in the Super Bowl!

-They have a top flight QB

-A dangerous WR

-A very smart coach

even though they are on their 99th RB this season, their scheme is sound and they can run the ball.... I don't think anyone should pin this as a easy win, it won't be easy.....

Carolina 24

Den 14

I'd say the score will be more in the 30's/40's.

I think this game will come down to if our defense comes to play or not.

If they do we win.

Vice versa.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
