But Robert Ayers had so much hype leading up to the draft. Is he not an all pro yet???

Easily lose the game? Based on what? They've been playing consistently good for the past 10 weeks. And even on the 3 games they lost they were competitive and didn't go down easily.

Also that argument could be applied to all of the playoff games this weekend:

Team A could very easily lose the game. It's not like Team B is terrible... it's the playoffs, there are no terrible teams at this instance.

because the ravens aren't a terrible team and the donkeys still have issues? i'm not sure why you think this is surprising.

well that's a totally relevant objection...

It's just as relevant as yours... everybody knows the Ravens are not terrible and the Broncos have flaws, but again those arguments are applicable to all playoff games, no need for you to bring it up.

I thought it was pretty relevant after seeing everyone pimp the broncos as though it was impossible for them to lose the game.

It is relevant if you bring up facts, "Team A is good, Team B is not perfect, that's why Team A has a chance"

Care to elaborate? It's all I'm asking for.

Broncos are going to win the Superbowl because Knowshon Moreno carried them to it. Then he will be named the starter for the rest of history

Willis McGahee returned to practice today, so I don't know about that. (just please, for the love of god, don't fumble)

Yeah im happy with Knowshon right now because he isnt coughing the ball up like McGahee did..

But McGaghee was the better power runner

almost every single early post was, essentially, 'denver won't lose'. it's simply not true, and y'all are deluded if you think all we have to do is show up. suggesting that saying that is akin to saying "well everyone's good" is ridiculous.

They also have Pollard, Ellerbe and Lewis back in the lineup on the defensive side of the ball, not to count the motivational factor that means having Ray playing his last downs and teammates wanting to win the big one for him.

Another thing to take into account is that it's not Jim Caldwell's first game calling plays as it was the case back on week 15. A lot of things have changed.

I just wanted the thought behind your post, but whatever.

I swear, the Broncos could win the Super Bowl beating the 49ers by 4 touchdowns, 35-7, and njx would post something along the lines:
"Meh, it was a good game I guess, but we didn't pressure Kaepernick enough, and Manning had that interception. I think they only win 11 games next year."

With these final 8 teams, anyone can beat anyone. They're all really good teams.

As much as I don't really believe Houston will do anything with that squad, it'd be stupid to think they'll have anywhere near a repeat performance against the Pats.

Baltimore is immeasurably better with Lewis, Suggs, and Reed in the game. It'd be foolish to rule out a veteran team like that in any situation. They're not going to be in any kind of shock from playing in Denver. The Ravens simply aren't a team that will ever be intimidated.
