the team that scares me the most in the AFC is the broncos, and its not even close
Keys to victory..
1. Get Flacco on the road
2. Hope Jonathan Joseph is injured
3. Rape the Colts again, it isn't that hard
4. Let Pittsburgh try and fail on offense
5. Force Denver to run on you
The Patriots defense on paper isn't that terrible.
The defense has actually been good this year. The intensity and talent is there. They had trouble playing with a huge lead earlier in the season, but they've adjusted better lately.

The front 7 is talented. And it seems like the secondary is starting to put it together.
Bellichick needs to tone it down with the complex zone coverages and just let them play. I think a lot of the mediocrity we've seen in the secondary over the past 4 years is bc of how complicated your zone defense is.

Carmelo Anthony is a better and more productive player than Kevin Durant

Talib seems to make a differance and Denard has come along. I also think they do better when they bring pressure.

The secondary seems to be gelling a bit with McCourty on the back end. They still have huge structural problems with their LB's being awful in coverage, and despite tonight their interior pass rush is not good. Still with them getting much better contributions from Ninkovich and McCourty in the 2nd half they're becoming an average defense.
Wade Phillips made some horrible defensive adjustments all game. LBers covering Hernandez and Woodhead in space the whole game was baffling. How much easier does it need to get. McDaniels had guys lining up all over the place and Houston wasn't even close to having an answer.
Maybe Cushings was really that important, but this defense looks God awful way too much now.

To Wade's credit, he didn't have a LB covering Hernandez on his second touchdown...
