Peyton manning has not faced a top 5 defense all year

Peyton manning has not played against a top 5 defense this entire year



Baltimore - 12th ranked defense
New York Giants - 8th ranked defense
Oakland - 22nd ranked defense
Philadelphia - 29th ranked defense
Dallas - 32nd ranked defense
Jacksonville - 27th ranked defense (tied for 27th)
Indy - 20th ranked defense (loss)
Washington - 18th ranked defense
San Diego - 23rd ranked defense
Kansas City - 24th ranked defense
New England - 26th ranked defense (loss)
Kansas City - 24th ranked defense
Tennessee - 14th ranked defense
San Diego - 23rd ranked defense
Houston - 7th ranked defense (these guys were on full tilt mode by this time of the year)
Oakland - 22nd ranked defense


and now he is facing the number 1 defense and is supposed to roll? hahaha LOB

How has he done in his career when he has faced one?

He's going to be smoked. Absolutely smoked. The Seahawks can get extreme pressure with 4, AND stop the run.... I'm just mind-blown by how dominant this game is going to be for the Seahawks.

The most important thing this game is that they will not be able to rely on their running game and dominating the opposition defensive line and that will hurt them in the weather.

agreed seahawks/niners was the championship game, if the niners had won they would have walked through the superbowl (niners 40 - broncos 10) this is the strongest conference.

yup, i felt the same way about the niners. I just couldnt imagine overrated finesse teams beating SF/SEA

The one matchup that scares me is Welker VS Thurmond. In the preseason peyton abused thurmond in the slot.

Yeah, I have been pointing that out to Broncos fans all over the place since yesterday. Also, that the Seahawks will finally get to play a defense that isn't a great one for the first time in like five games when we meet Denver.

Add in that the Broncos had the easiest schedule in the league this year, (AND last year) and we'll see what happens come February 2nd.

Where were NE ranked? At any rate, I don't think we're going to have much luck pressuring Peyton with 4. He gets the ball out of his hands way too quick for that, and can abuse the blitz.

I am developing a man crush on you. Please stick around these next two weeks and beyond.

This place is laugh a minute. Seems similar to 49erswebzone without the 1355 page QB thread.

49ers and Seahawks were the best 2 teams.

The only way Seattle doesn't win is if they play stupid and beat themselves.

They are the best team in the NFL this year and strength on strength, no team can beat them.

I was at this game. crowd was loud like they knew it would come down to this.
manning had the ball on like the one about to score,
and browner ran it back 99 yards. we will crush the broncos and make that horse faced space dog Elway eat it.

Yep, you have to play press man physical on his wr's and take away his ability for quick decisions. If only there were a defense out there that excelled at such coverages.

Hmmmm, can ya think of any?

Would also really help if they had a guy w/ speed and instincts to play single high safety in these packages.

Just playing devil's advocate, if you wanna play the "so and so hasn't played against a top 10 so and so".....

The Seahawks defense only faced one top 10 offense this season, the saints. and Drew Brees sucked on the road this season. In two weeks, Seattle's defense will be playing against LITERALLY the best offense in the history of the NFL. Also, no more homefield advantage for that defense. Seattle D will not have the CLink behind them.

#1 defense vs #1 offense...should be a fun game

Meh, we faced the Packers and Patriots offenses last year, and won both games. Our defense can take on anybody. The Broncos having the easiest schedule two years in a row is a point ignored by most Broncos fans I've noticed, however.

they gave up 48 points in jerrys world

Easiest schedule two years in a row? AFC West was the best division in the NFL...3 of the 4 teams made it. They also played a 1st place schedule for winning the AFC West last year.

I agree that your defense can take on anybody.

Bottom line, Broncos score more points than any team in the league. Seahawks give up fewer points than any team in the league. As i said, should be a good game. :0190l:

I, like most, would seriously question that the AFC West is the best division in football. The NFC West only lost 10 games out side of their own division while winning 30.

AFC West was close, but they were 25-15.
