Hes wrong about the Texans, not really sure what hes being thanked for. Not that it would matter for a first round game anyway because if they are both in the playoffs they are likely division winners. The Texans have a rookie QB. A great RB and great D. Denver plays D and would make the Texans 1 dimensional. Denver would have a huge chance to beat them in Denver.

Maybe, but they would need a miracle to end up playing anything more than one playoff game at home.

I know, the point is really moot. For anyone to say the Texans would destroy them is just silly. I think Denver would get beat by New England, Baltimore and I guess Pittsburg, even though I dont like Pittsburg this year. Anyone else Denver can beat. Not really because of Tebow, but that defense has been awesome.

The defense that just made Christian Ponder look like Dan Marino? They gave up nearly 500 yards to Minnesota. What good offenses did they shut down in the prior games during their winning streak?

Since Week 2 the Texans have allowed one 100 yd rusher, Ray Rice, who got 101 in a Week 6 win. During that span the Texans have shut down Maurice Jones-Drew twice, Chris Johnson, LaGarrette Blount, and Michael Turner. Stack that on top of allowing Darren McFadden 51 yds rushing in Week 5 and Rashard Mendenhall 25 yds in Week 4.

So, Denver would beat Houston throwing the ball? Teams facing the Texans have completed 49.8% of their passes, the next lowest percentage is Oakland allowing 52.3%. They've allowed the fewest passing yards, are tied for the 2nd highest amount of interceptions and opposing QBs have a passer rating of 60.7 against them.

So St. Timmy is going to torch them through the air? The Minnesota defense he played last week is awful and that made him look good. They also focused all of their attention on Eric Decker and allowed Demaryius Thomas, who had been non-existent in the Broncos offense to get free for a few big gains.

The Texans would beat Denver by at least 10 no matter where the game is played with TJ Yates, Jake Delhomme, Jeff Garcia, or the three of them platooning.

Everything you say is correct, but playoff football is mostly won by D and the QB. I would give the slight advantage to Denver. The Texans are 1 and done anyway, Pittsburg or Baltimore will beat them in the first round. Maybe they get lucky and draw the Jets. They will win that, then go lose at New England or Pitt or Baltimore. Whoever has the other bye.

Who are you giving them the advantage over at the QB position?

TJ Yates, no?

Winning more than 6 games this year was going to be considered a 'miracle'. Playing a playoff game, 3 or 4 miracles minimum. Playing a HOME playoff game, out of the question.
All of these are now possible at least partially because of the QB switch.
It is fun, enjoy it, you would if you lived here. This has been one sad football town for many years.

I kind of figured that if they made the playoffs, it would have to be as a divison winner ensuring a home game.

Like I said in the other post, Broncos fans are probably just ecstatic to still be in the race this late in the season.
