Read any Denver columnist this week or this morning. Civic pride, personal pride, SB 48 banner flying in the rafters, Must play physical, even if Denver loses it needs to be close...these are just a few of the things Denver players and coaches are hearing as ambient noise in the Denver market this week. Seattle may be treating this as another championship week, but Denver is treating this like a playoff game.
In my life, I have never seen a team be purpose built in the off season to try and beat another team...in a different conference. Ward and Talib and Ware were acquired through some kind of cap voodoo so that Denver could "toughen up" the D. "35" was the Bronco mantra for the offseason, fer chrissake. A few Denver players have been cautioning that this is just another game, but how can they really feel that way when they have been using last season's game as the motivation to improve?
How will that affect the game? I expect Percy better keep his head on a swivel. I expect Denver to target the jet sweep like crazy. At least early in the game, I expect Denver to do a good job of swarming to the ball. Hopefully we have a good plan to take advantage of the aggressiveness. I think we will.
43-8. And Seattle left points on the field. Good luck Denver, you're gonna need it.
