Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

How come no one talks about Denver's defense?

Seattle has to score points, too. I think the Broncos have a really underrated defense that has gotten better over the season.

    Same as the seahawk offense. Everyone is focused on the 2 perhaps all time great units that they forget about the other 2. The seahawk offense is better than people think, they almost never turn it over and they have a rb in lynch who's game is peaking during the playoffs. Plus a passing game that's makes plays when it has to.

    A lot of people are disregarding both units and they shouldn't be

    I have been more impressed with the Broncos defense than their offense in the playoffs.

    Broncos have scored 1 and 3 more points in their 2 playoff games than the Seahawks "struggling" offense against way shittier defenses.

    It's a pretty mediocre defense, but they have played well so far in the playoffs. They play the run well, and have been the best in the playoffs so far at stopping the run. San Diego isn't a great running team though and Seattle is better than New England at running the ball. They are pretty bad against the pass, and their best pass rusher (Miller) is out for the year, but they do have pretty good depth on the DL. DL is easily the strongest unit on their defense.

    They aren't terrible, but they do have a lot of journeymen on their defense. Their secondary is pretty bad too. Champ is old, so is Jammer. Rogers-Cromartie had a good year, but he's been injured and has had an inconsistent career. Safeties are journeymen, although Ihenacho seems to make plays whenever I watch. There are big plays to be made on this secondary.

    Did you watch the NE game though? They could have scored more and basically did what they wanted. They just settled for 3 a few times. Their passing game was fucking up NE.

    Plus the AFC sucks. They held the Pats to 16, but think of the skill players they have, especially tight ends and receivers ( they're down to their 3rd and 4th string tight ends, and their receivers are nobodies). They also played the horrible NFC East, and the Cowboys put up a ton of points on them.

    The Seahawks offensive problems not coincidentally came when they played NFC West teams and Carolina, and all those teams have great front sevens. They ought to do pretty well vs. the Broncos if they protect the ball.
