Will our secondary hold up in the playoffs?

Its not the secondary, when you are missing 1/2 your d line and you have to stick 7 to 8in the box and lose all pass coverage from your linebackers because they have to cover the run all the time. Then the safeties and the corners are stuck one on one and forced to play soft coverage, they are gonna get beat. If we get our run stoppers back, Beason and the boys can mix it up a little more and we can play tighter corners with safety back up. That is my professional opinion!!

Agreed. I don't feel our pass rush has been up to norm this year and it has put a lot of pressure on the secondary. Here is to hoping that is fixed come the divisional round in a week or so.

in past seasons it seemed like when Lucas was in man he would be more banged up as the season went on..maybe this was just to keep him fresh for playoff mauling? :boxing_smiley:

I think that is just wishful thinking. As others have said we've had no push in the middle of the D-line. All Brees had to do was wait for the ends to go past and step up to make his throw. We have to have the pressure from the middle to make the ends effective and make the QB throw before he's ready.

Lewis is a hell of a pass rusher. Having him back with Brayton, Johnson, and Peppers on the line will make our secondary look a TON better. To the OP, yes. No one in the NFC save Arizona is going to make our secondary break a sweat.

Do you think we will be getting Lewis back for the next game? I haven't heard anything of late.

      I don't know about you but I have been a life long Chiefs fan for the past 4 years.

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      Sure there's a ton of transplants in Colorado now. But as far as Denver in particular goes the Broncos have also been around for 65 years. Someone moving to Denver is going to be far more likely to become a fan of the Broncos and even attend games versus someone moving to Charlotte and the Panthers. Like I said it's not just one single thing with us it's multiple factors.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      He's definitely getting better. It's fun to watch.  I've been getting killed for this take, but with the current state of college football, it just takes more time to develop a quarterback. I don't think it's a plug and play position anymore. I'm really not sure if it ever was. NFL offenses have always been substantially more complex than the college game, and the college game has simplified even more in recent years. Many college teams do not have a physical playbook anymore. That's just not the national football league.  Are there freaks who have success from day 1? Yes, without question. But so many of those guys are runners, and so many of those guys tail off. Is Bryce ever going to be Josh Allen? Probably not.  What I am seeing is a guy with complete command of the offense. He's checking into things at the line, making adjustments, and making timely throws.  He goes to David Moore a ton, because Moore is a consistent route runner. Bryce knows where he is and when he should be open. I think the guy with the "super processor" needs to be comfortable in the offense in order to do the "super processing." He doesn't have elite arm talent, and he is small of stature, but if he makes the smart play consistently, and he's willing to throw the ball downfield and not make mistakes, like he's starting to show, he's going to be a starter for a long time in this league, and it's not a position I'd spend draft capital right now.
