I dont think Denver can beat the Pats or Ravens. In Denver, maybe they can beat Pittsburg. Anyone else I think they can beat home or road.

If they do happen to beat New England next week it will be only because "the Pats D is injured" or "they are the worst Pats team for years" all while the Pats keep winning and winning...

exactly. its annoying and stupid. "Timmy's only 6-1 because he's played 6 crappy teams" nonsense.

Though I wouldn't put $ on Denver beating the Pats.. Tom Brady is still the man.

It's not nonsense. They've beaten four lousy teams and two decent teams playing with handicaps. He deserves credit for playing well at the end of games, but do you honestly think they have a prayer of winning a playoff game with him at quarterback?

It all depends on who the team is, and if they make the playoffs they will likely be at home. If its the Jets, and your a Jets fan how much confidence would you have going into Denver? I would like Denver alot vs the Jets or Titans. It all depends on who makes it in.

I have no doubt whatsoever that the Jets would beat them in the playoffs. By double digits. Please don't forget that Tebow did absolutely nothing against my defense before finally putting together one very good drive.

yes, because of their defense and because they don't turn it over and can control the clock with rushing (as long as they get 1st downs).

and it is nonsense. there is a lot of warranted criticism (throwing motion, completion percentage), but that is not one of them. He's won 4 games on the road. That's difficult no matter who you play (again, except the Colts). This is the NFL, it's not like they are the LSU Tigers scheduling some D-1AA school. 6-1 is a great record for a starter, no matter what division, what league and what your schedule looks like.

Every single week, the critics say "Denver can't beat so and so".. and then they go win. GBBOB should be eating some crow, even if Denver loses out.

John Fox makes great game plans to focus on the teams strengths (andy reid.. take some fucl<ing notes). The teammates believe in one another and believe they will win. Coaching and leadership helps overcome some inabilities. Tebow is improving as a passer every week. against the Vikings, he was accurate and led his receivers to the right spots with his passes. he was 10-15, with two bad drops (one would have been a TD) and one pass was thrown out of bounds to avoid a sack. So out of 15 throws, only 2 were off target.

Great game plans? WOW. If anything he has butchered Tebow? Why are they trash for 3 quarters then unstopable late? If it has to be uptempo all game it should be. The coaching is bad in Denver right now.

Im a die hard Pats fan and I will tell you we are not winning a Super Bowl this year. No vertical thread, no pound the ball running game and the D has been ****. This is finally Baltimores year to come out. With that being said, we can handle Denver home or away.
