I thing it's a coin flip as to which team will win. Big plays and momentum will decide the day.

I never said the Broncos aren't that good.

I said, Manning and the Broncos put high numbers because they play in a division and conference that have poor defenses and poor pass defense.



you put Denver in the NFC WEST and Manning doesn't play 16 games healthy and no way he puts those numbers.

Don't get all pricky.


#1 offense > #2 offense.

The Denver offense was much better than the Saints even in the regular season, but you will deny this anyway.

put things under perspective.......Denver plays in a division and conference that are allergic in playing defense especially physical defense like the play in the NFC.

If it's clear and low winds, Denver will win but if it's a sloppy day not good for passing, then Seahawks will be crowned.

Broncos are going to roll by two Tds or more. Not even going to be a good game. Petey is going to get out coached in a big way. Del Rio and Fox are world class. Petey is a pretender.

I only wish the Broncos were healthy. That's the only thing that will keep it from being a complete bloodbath.

Truth be told, the Broncos and Seahawks had a common opponent this year, the Colts. They both lost, in similar fashion iirc.

I don't care what you say about your NFC because you're an NFC honk. The Tennessee Titans and laugh if you will, but the Jaguars, Texans, and the Redskins played well against the Broncos and forced them to win defensive type games.

Lobe, and btw, how well did y'all do against the lowly Houston Texans earlier this season, another common opponent?

Here, I'll start you off, "Shouldacouldawoulda, bad hair day, toe jam..."

Watch sport centers recap of the Bronco Patriot game. See what the Broncos rcvrs are doing to the backs who jam them at the line. If you don't think Eric Decker 88 80 Welker Calwell 27 Tammi etc don't push back, come check out one of our dispensaries up in here, you be smokin sumptin.

I wouldn't say Denver blew them out. It was a hard faught win, but a statistical failure for those stats geeks who hang onto that Sport Center garbage... the filler that keeps the station going from 11pm till 5 am

I knew this tired cliche would rear its ugly head.

Here's another one, who ever scores more, scores more! Don't make me get metaphysical up in here.

It's not over till it's over.

That's the way the old cookie crumbles.

Sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Wherever you go, there you are.

Whatever will be will be.

It is what it is.

The best defense is a strong offense.. no wait!

But the Ners had the top-ranked scoreboard in that game... aka the 9ers beat them... as some of the experts predicted they would.

Had the 9ers made it to the Superbowl, the Broncos would have more to worry about.

Imo, the Seahawks lucked out last night. In 13 days, they turn back into a pumkin.

personally, I don't how Denver can score 28 points on this defense in any weather.......this a very physical defense and one of the best secondary defense in NFL history.

Those Broncos receivers are not use to that type of defense. They will get mugged from the line and hit hard everytime the ball is near.

Offense wins games, defense wins championships...

Except in basketball where offense wins games, defense wins series, and rebounding wins championships...

But, I'm not impartial...still, Seahawks will win.

that's not being truthful.........Seahawks play Houston in week 4 when Houston had a 2-1 record before the meltdown and before all the injuries.

Broncos play Houston in week 15 after they fired their coach, long list of injuries and gave up on the season.



One more time: name me one TOP 5 DEFENSE PLAYOFF team that Broncos play this season, NAME 1?


Seahawks played the Panthers, Saints Twice, 49ERS 3 times.....all TOP 5 Defense playoff team.......Saints are a TOP 5 OFFENSE and TOP 5 DEFENSE playoff team.
