What has Newton done that is so much more impressive than Peyton? These are 2 great defenses and a coaches chess match as I expected. Put 250 on Denver covering spread
In this game? Nothing. But Peyton has had opportunities. No much pressure, atleast not as much as Cam has faced. IMO, Denver has put together the perfect gameplan to stop Cam. Peyton just doesnt have the ability anymore.
Tells me they had the chance this year. AFC was weak as hell. Not saying that they would be handing the Panthers their ass right now, but just saying.
People complain about rules catering to offenses, and we have a great defensive battle and now they're complaining. This Broncos D is pobably going to go down as the best of this century... so much talent aat every level.
They were 1st against the pass and 3rd against the run for the season, what do you mean they had a good couple of weeks? C mon Whip! I'll tell you one thing, the commercials blow!
That's, because those people weren't paying attention(which is why people foolishly believed NE would blow them out). They were ranked first in DVOA(which is the best measure of defense), and they're ranking has outperformed the 2000 Ravens
So what's your argument? According to you Peyton is all time terrible and the defense isn't tip ranked? How they here? Fwiw both Denver and Carolina are impressing me on defense. Qbs are over credited this is a defensive struggle
They have the personnel for sure. But they were never given the opportunity to show what they can do. Most of their reg season wins came because of the defense , but I dont think that means they should be considered an alltime great. Like I said before a lot of people didnt even consider them the best in the league...and probably still dont. They have just been on fire the last 2 games.
They are an awesome D. But I dont consider they a great defense that could lead a team to a SB win..like the 00 Ravens, 02 Bucs , 12 Hawks etc. Those were great defenses. This Denver team is just a step below IMO. But hey it might win em a Superbowl so cant criticize em that much lol
People talk about taking a QB in every draft until you get one, the argument could be made that teams should take a pass rushing specialist every year until they get at least one good one. I love having a d line that's great against the run, but the Jet's haven't had a player that can consistently get after the QB since Abraham.
