Everyone who is talking up Denver I just want to know, have you actually watched these games play for play on your own, or have you just watched the same clips on ESPN over and over again? 

Yes, the Broncos D did play well against the Patriots last week down the stretch, however I'm not sure if we that means as much this year as it did before.  The Pats were shut down by the Bills for most of their game, shut down by the Jets, played okay against the artists formerly known at the Ravens D, and were not explosive against the Falcons.

Most of the numbers that people are drooling over were the ones generated against the Browns, Raiders, and Cowboys.  Those 3 games have accounted for 8 turnovers, and those QB's aren't known for being very cautious with the ball. 

At the same time their offense is still just an average offense in my eyes.  Watching their games it seems they scored a lot on short fields caused by turnovers.  Well most of these turnovers came against the aforementioned. 

I respect the fact they did drive down the field twice against the Pats with the game on the line.  But this is also the same Pats D that made Trent Edwards look like he belongs starting in the NFL  in week 1. 

I might be wrong, but I have not seen the visual evidence of this team that suggests they are really that great.
