Denver Broncos

What happened here? Suddenly this former joke (defense really) of a team is undefeated after 5 weeks of NFL play. Granted, a pre-injury Tom Brady would have won yesterday’s game for the Pats, and (I’m sure you’ve read/heard it 1 million times already) the tipped ball for a td reception in week one was a fluke play. On a side note, Brady looks like a shell of himself, missing on throws he used to make with seeming ease.

Maybe Josh McDaniels is the real deal, or maybe he just stole the other teams’ signals. I don’t really think that’s the case, but he obviously has this team believing in his system. A lot of credit has also been given to Mike Nolan, who stopped the flip flop approach of going from 3-4 to 4-3, and settled the team in a 3-4. They also appear to be injury free at their key positions…

I honestly can’t say that the Chargers will be a real test of the Broncos, seeing as how our team is wallowing in mediocrity. Our offense will most likely shift out of park into drive some time in the third quarter once we are down two or more scores, resulting in 250-350 yards and 2-3 td passes for Philip Rivers. On the other side, I shudder to think what our defense will allow them to do. Unless AJ Smith finds some gullible team to ship us a starting caliber nose tackle, this season might find the Chargers in 2nd or worse…
