What Broncos Fans Are Saying

It's funny when I see Broncos fans actually compare their defense to the '13 Seahawks defense.

 

That Seahawks defense wasn't special because they were #1 in yards,  they were special because they were #1 in takeaways,  #1 in ppg AND #1 in yards. 

Denver is about to get steamrolled again in the Super Bowl....their fans are just too stupid to realize it is coming.

Here is what most Bronco fans seem to think/say

Bronco Fan:  Uh, we have the greatest defense.  Unless you played Denver your offense hasn't  been tested b/c no one in the NFL plays great defense.  That is all we need.  Oh, and the AFC was so much tougher than the NFC.  NFC was so weak.   See ya, I have to go watch Von Miller sack Cam in 2012.

Denver hasn't done well against teams who run well. I think that is really something to look at. They won't be able to use the same scheme for Cam that they did for Brady. They are going to have to play defense against us that they have had pretty much ZERO experience doing in a real game. I don't see that affecting how we play offense though because people have played us this way recently....and it worked once. I also can't see Star/Short/Keek/Davis/Norman/Coleman not playing lights out. If they get a run game going it may close the gap, I just don't see that happening.

I feel our opponents better prepared us to face the AFC team in the SB than their opponents better prepared them to face the NFC team in the SB. I believe we are the better team, but whoever plays the best on Sunday wins. Same game-plan for all playoff opponents, run the ball and play defense. We can make Denver stack the box which will open up our passing game. Also its a must this offense go no huddle and pick up the pace. With our run attack against their smaller 3-4 defense with an up-tempo offense, it'll create massive problems in my opinion.

"Not battle tested" but beat four teams who were in the playoffs this year, and beat the Seahawks twice.

Not to be a stickler, but we've beaten 5 teams this year that have gone on to the playoffs:

Texans

Washington

Seahawks (twice)

Cardinals

Packers

And the sixth would be the Broncos.

"We ain't got no receivers, though..."

Funny how people still keep saying "yeah but the Panthers play in a weak division" and "yeah but the Panthers had a soft schedule" as if that negates the fact that we beat both playoff opponents -- and in a dominating fashion no less.  When you crush the #2 seed, you crush the #2 seed.  There's no weighted formula at work there.  If you beat them you beat them, and it doesn't matter in the least that the other three teams in your division happen to suck.

It reminds me of a joke my chemistry professor always told about scientists -- "well sure it works in practice, but does it work in theory?" -- to illustrate the fallacious thinking that settles in whenever you have an echo chamber repeating a mindless narrative.

Carolina could of lost more games....and as a product of that faced more teams with winning records

Denver's D is good no doubt.  But they haven't faced an offense as powerful and mult-dimensional as the Panthers.

At the same time Carolina's D is not being given the respect it deserves, even though they are likely as good or better than Denver's.  

Our coaches going more passive on D in the second half of so many games this year due to big leads certainly makes the Panthers D appear more porous than it actually is.

Can someone do some homework for me and actually break out the stats of their #1 defense v our #6 (or whatever the rankings may be) and actually compare the NUMBERS. Because if nothing more than like 2.5 yards separates us from each other, then that's too minuscule of a factor to weigh in an analysis (think weighted average for all you math nerds). Any statistics/probabilities majors want to speak here?

    • What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.
    • With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking. 
    • We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
