It looks like the Broncos success against the Pats is  driving some Denver players thoughts on our match-up. 

Hell they beat a injured and fading N.E. team twice. They should be favored over the 17-1 Panthers.

I don't discount them, they are a very good team and that defense is nothing to ignore.  Their defense is so good that they've drug the 16 rated offense (as well as the team with the 3rd most turnovers in the NFL) to the superbowl.  That said, they won't be able to turn the ball over more than once or MAYBE twice and have a chance in this game, we are the games most opportunistic defense and most effective short field offense.

I love how we get no respect all year long, it motivates the players and the fans embrace that mentality too.

Then for the first time all year we finally are being talked about as the favorites and when the other team tries to play the no respect card our fans dismiss it as overconfidence and start talking about a shut out.

Stop acting like bandwagon Seahawks fans, all he said is he felt they deserved more respect for beating the Patriots twice this year, the exact same thing our players were saying about beating Seattle twice and still not getting the proper respect.

They beat a NE team that lost 4 of its last 7 games this season.  They were beat up....had no OL....had no run game.

Denver is about to get rolled and their players know it deep down.

And their damn center was choreographing the snap for them.  You know Kalil isn't going to do that. They're walking into a buzzsaw

They have just as much of a right to play the respect card for motivation as the Panthers. It seems the whole world of football has come to a giant debate about respect. It's a good thing they settle this silly respect thing with a playoff system.

It's great for them to think they can handle us.  They are confident because they did carry their offense here.  Our defense is no joke either.  I'm sorry to the Broncos, but they will have to win with D. Will their offense score?  Maybe, especially if they dink and dunk the ball and we play terribly.  On the flip side, if they turn the ball over and we score off those, and get some drives going, it's going to be that much tougher for them.

Both of our teams deserve to be here.  It's no accident.  We also have been playing extremely well down the stretch (the ATL loss aside).  I think we will keep pounding, and I think that will bring us a victory.  Though if we get off our game, get caught up in the Super Bowl drama and lose focus on the game, we'll get slaughtered.  I think that's the biggest area of concern for our team.  Keep being ourselves and play our best game.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
