Seems most everyone has Denver in SB already.

[seer-12thman]

Not so fast my friend. They are undefeated yes but look at who they have played. Two of the worst teams in the NFL. Four teams with their total combined wins at four. They haven't shown me any quality wins, just that they can run the score up on bad teams. Maybe before people start putting them in the SB they should wait until they win against a quality team especally on the road.

Putting them in this early I can kinda see it, or see why people are doing it. Looking at their competition in the AFC, the only teams I see even having a shot at running with them are KC, the Ravens, Indy, or New England. The Patriots don't have the offensive firepower they've had in the past but they have Brady.
I agree all they've shown so far is the ability to blow out bad teams. Well, except for the Ravens game. Turns out the Ravens' D is pretty good after all and it might have been more about Denver making a good defense look bad.

When analyzing Denver though, I don't look so much at who they've played as much as what they have. A HOF QB, one of the best to ever to play the game and someone who's still got something left in the tank, and four pro bowl caliber WRs to throw to. His supporting cast this year is the best he's ever had and that's just on the offensive side.
On defense, they are also in the top five and THAT's what makes them so dangerous. It's a defense that gave up fewer yards and had a far better 3rd down conversion percentage than the Hawks' D last year. They are getting stops again this year too and that's without their two best defenders in Von Miller and Champ Bailey even playing a down.
The only thing even coming close to resembling a weakness so far is their running game. But that's also got some upside and they've gotten good production when they've needed it.

It seems to me like the Seahawks have some issues to iron out before being a team that would have an edge on Denver. I think it can be done but they have some work to do, mainly with the O-line. And no more of that bend-but-don't-break defensive play. It's time for the defense to turn it up a notch like they are capable. Like the way they finished against Houston. That kind of play can beat Denver but they need it over the entire game, not just over the last 1.5 quarters or whatever.
Right now, I gotta give Denver an edge with the Hawks having the upside. Denver can get even better too with Miller and CB coming back but their offense is just about maxed out. The Hawks have the room to improve on the offensive side, but they just aren't there yet.

I will be impressed when they play a REAL team and play in shitty Colorado weather. Until then I'm not saying anything.

As far as the talking heads are concerned, he's the second coming.

That's a team I'd like these guys to face...and remove all doubt from the pundits when we stomp that ass up and down the field.

Yeah, I miss all the scheming and plotting against Raider Jon and Stevie's constant bitching. Those were great times.

Since those days my life has turned around 180 degrees. Been divorced almost 3 years (The Superbowl loss was the turning point...lol) and raising my 2 kids. But I'll tell you, never been happier!

Where are all the old guys?

You're still the Boss of Idaho and Eastern Washington right?
