Denver Broncos: The Perfect Opponent

[alancdc]

One of my best friends is the biggest Bronco fan on the planet. So, I end up having to watch their games. He was emphatic before the season, and on Sunday that they had to be 3-0 because that will give them a chance to be 3-5.

Would it be equally fair to suggest that our one loss could be easily questioned as well?

We should of beat the Giants.......we ran the ball down their throat.

Right.
But also need to question Denver's wins. A fluke play against the Bengals [or they would be 3-0], a win over the Chiefs and Raiders. So how good are they really. But they are 3-0.
It will stillb e a tough game on the road.

You are what your record is.
3-0

 

[Boyzmamacita]

You are what your record is.
3-0

Both teams will be 3-1 Sunday night.

Regarding the Bengals game, was the Stokley play a fluke? Yes. Anybody that watched the game knows it shouldn't have even been close as the Broncos failed to capitalize in the red zone the entire game and Orton took a sack on the Denver drive prior to the Bengals scoring drive that would have "sealed" the game pending an onside kick or some sort of "fluke" play by the Bengals.

I guess if "if's and but's were candy and nuts":-D

Kind of like us dominating the Giants but turning it over 4 times, and us not capitalizing in the red zone against the PANTHERS. Denver is better than I thought they would be, but I think they will be 3-5.

And I think they will be 8-0. I guess that is why they play the game on the field and not in our heads.

8-0 ???? How about being a little realistic for a change...... Geez.....

 

[YosemiteSam]

What happens if the Cowboys end up 2-2 and the Broncos end up 4-0?

Me saying we will win 5 in a row is as realistic as you guys saying we are going to lose 5 in a row.

Perhaps those offenses are ranked below 24th because Denver's defense tore them apart.

You can look at it from both sides. The real question is, is their glass half full or half empty. We shall take a step closer in figuring that out come Sunday.

Or you can look at it and say that Cleveland and Oakland avg a combined 21pts per game? Combine that with a TOTAL combined avg of 441yds per game between them, and I think it's pretty safe to say that they are not good!

Or you can look at their passer rating and see the COMBINED 92.9 and assume that is not good either...Or the fact that in 6 games they've managed a combined 4 TD's. Or that they've comnined for 10 int's and 17 sacks through 6 total games?

In some cases I'd agree with your thought process here, but the bottom line on this one is that it was not unusual for these teams to play poorly against Denver... They are just BAD teams, and no arguement can be made to dispute that fact.

Have you seen your next five opponents?? I would think you wouln't automatically put a W next to all five of those...... heck, I'd admit straight up who we will have trouble beating and for good reasons with valid points to back them up.... we however, will not have trouble in Denver.

I take the season week to week. Don't really care who we play after the cowboys.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I'm just hoping for an injury free, solid, fun game and a Cowboys win. Those things would make me happy. I don't care if we win by 1 point or 40 as long as we win. And beyond that I could care less what the Broncos do beyond this Sunday. If they go out and win the next 4 after that then good for them. If they start a 5 game losing streak, beginning this sunday, I don't care either. All that matters is this weekend.

If you expect Denver fans to be realistic then you yourself should also be. Saying you will have no trouble winning this week on the road in Denver isn't helping your credibility much. An interception for a TD with the 2pt conversion with 5 minutes to go sealed the game for Dallas otherwise you were looking at a 6 point lead with it being Carolina's ball. That was in your house against Carolina.....

Don't get me wrong as I am not bashing here but am expecting a great game. Whichever team establishes the running game has this one imo. I'm hoping that is Denver:-D

We would have to shut down the Zone so we don't burn up the server.

The Dallas Cowboys could not be playing a better opponent this week than the Denver Broncos.

The validity of the Cowboys' two wins is being questioned, and as much as we may hate admitting it, some of the questioning is warranted. Both victories were deeply flawed, and came against teams that are a combined 0-6.

However, with a win against the Broncos, the Cowboys will have beaten an undefeated, division-leading opponent on the road. A victory should provide them with some measure of respect and, more importantly, some confidence in the weeks ahead.

I like this match up because the Broncos' record is inflated, in my opinion. Their talent level is probably worse than their record indicates and inferior to the Cowboys' talent. The Broncos have a very good receiving corp, but their running backs are merely average and their quarterback is a journeyman. Given how the Cowboys offensive line has gashed every defense its played thus far, it's a reasonable assumption it will have similar success against the Broncos defense.

Additionally, the Cowboys (especially Romo) should not be as tight in this game as they've been over the past two weeks; this is a road game against a non-conference opponent, and Romo tends to play better on the road.

If the Cowboys are as good as many people seem to think, they should win this game. In fact, if the team plays as well as it did Monday night and can eliminate the drive-killing penalties, the Cowboys should put this game away at some point in the fourth quarter.

If the Broncos record is inflated, how is beating them going to get us respect especially since you say their QB is a journeyman and their RBs average?

I really can't tell how good Dallas is or isn't.

At times, they've looked like one of the best teams in the NFL. Other times, they've looked like a below-average team. We saw each of those in the Carolina game the other night.

I'm not so confused about Denver. They're 3-0 because they've played a very weak schedule, coupled with one of the flukiest plays you'll ever see. Their talent is middling at best. They're a mediocre team.

3-0 > 2-1 last time i checked

And Dallas has 2 wins by a combined 26 points over two teams with a combined record of 0-6 with a strong performance against a good Giants team thrown in for good measure. I guess we will get a good look at how the talent is this weekend and hoping for the best.
