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.

      Tom Pelissero: Ejiro Evero name to watch when coaching cycle commences

      By SteveSmithTD89 · Posted

      Respectfully, I completely disagree. Last year we were:  32nd in Sacks. 32nd in Turnovers.  32nd in Rushing TDs allowed  29th in Scoring.  We were absolutely atrocious on defense last year and that was with a full stable of weapons in Derek Brown, Frankie Luvu and Brian Burns that played all 17 games.  Using yards per game as a metric to guage our success lacks the context that because our offense was so inept teams were not driving the length of the field, they were starting at their 40-50 yard line.  This year, our Defense ranks:  31st in Sacks. Tied for 19th in Turnovers  31st in Rushing TDs allowed 32nd in Scoring  His defense fails to get pressure, fails to turn the ball over and fails to stop the run. Three things you absolutely have to do to be successful in the NFL.  Denver meanwhile has not missed a beat without him.  If another team wants to hire him as a HC and the Panthers get two 3rds for it I'll wish him the best and pack his bags myself.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Ah, the ol Cam Newton hating.  I will give you credit, the week of pretending to be a Daniel Jones super fan is a very clever way to disguise your hatred of Cam.
