Under Denver's break down this line-

Denver Broncos: 7-1

 

"Unlike the Panthers, this team has yet to put together a complete game -- even against weak opponents"

 

 

That was kinda just outta the blue

 

 

btw no midseason report on the NFC yet that I can find on nfl.com

that....was...interesting and a bit surprising. i wonder what made them use the panthers as a comparison.

I was wondering that too.  My guess is it's a combination of the rebound from a slow start with absolutely demolishing teams we're supposed to beat.  Our margin of victory vs the 4 teams we've beat has been ridiculous and we haven't had a scare from one of them like we saw happen last night with Seattle / St Louis.

 

Not just beating who you're supposed to beat but making them look silly while doing it will get people using you as an example.

The Broncos are playing poor teams similar to us but are not playing well all around in those game.

gotcha.

 

just surprising to see them as some sort of standard to judge by.

i bet there is a similar mention to the Panthers handling weak opponents whenever they release the AFC version.

they mentioned the panthers because of john fox.

Nah, I see what YOU did there. Clever.

They struggled against the powerhouse that is the Jacksonville Jaguars.  Foxball strikes again!

I think it's a shot at Denver's defense.

dream scenario for me would be to face the broncos in the superbowl...and of course win.

 

just thought i would throw that in there.

The Broncos are high on that list for me, as long as we're talking about dreams.  So are the Patriots.

 

For personal reasons I would also accept the Browns or Dolphins (because I have aggravating damn Browns / Dolphins fans to contend with).

The offense too. Peyton had ints against a crappy redskins defense when he was playing perfect before.
