Yeah, I wouldn't trust the Broncos with the schedule they've had. AFC looks pretty weak though. No Gronk is a big concern for the Pats, the Colts and Bengals have been very inconsistent lately (or at least the Bengals offense has), and the Chiefs have benefited from an easy schedule as well. Honestly, the Ravens could make a run again at this rate, even though I don't particularly like their team either. I think I like the Bengals the most right now though.

Well, looking at the schedule, Seattle plays @ NYG, then AZ and STL in the Clink. 2 out of those last 3 locks up the 1 seed, owing to the head-to-head win over NO. That will almost certainly happen.

I like the Bengals also. As Dalton goes so does the team. I'm not overly impressed with the afc west like you said and while Brady seems to be in the mix every year that defense is atrocious.

It's been said oftem by many, but I feel compelled to say it again.

What? Did you see how fun that Philly/Detroit game was? If it snows that game is going to be a blast! Isn't that the point? Fun?

~~butthead aka 216~~ · 12-10-2013, 07:28 PM

kaep has been one of the worst passers this yr. that offense has been bad almost all season cause ppl figured out the read option gimmick stuff for the most part in the off season

gonna be a dumb superbowl. did you guys see??? they said NO TAILGATING!!! they said no grilling, no bringin chairs for the parking lot, must be within an arms length of your car at all times, etc... totally ridiculous!!

and yah seattle had a tough time with san fran ON THE ROAD. and even at that it was a super close game with a division rival. seattle basically has home field clinched, theres no way anyone in their right mind likes the chances of anyone playin at seattle. and denver is the clear favorite with gronk goin down. they are head and shoulders above whoever ya wanna consider 2nd in the afc

Kaep has trouble getting to his second read because he's still learning. Pass protection was horrible in the first half of the year so they kept VD in to block a lot so if Anquan wasn't open his second read was...who? Kyle Williams? Marlon Moore? Jon Baldwin? Look a what Tom Brady did with nobody to throw too. Nothing.

He's visibly getting better.

~~butthead aka 216~~ · 12-10-2013, 07:51 PM

maybe hes gettin better but i tired of san fran fans and analysts sayin he has no weapons. he has a top 5 tight end, boldin, great line and run game, theres like a few guys in the league who have much more than that right there

brady won a couple rings with no wrs... im not big on kaep, dont like him for some reason. he looks best when they are mixing in the qb sweep stuff and lettin him run out in space.

I just told you. The line has not been great this year in pass protection and some QBs need time to learn how to use their 2nd and 3rd option. VD doesn't get many targets cause he's asked to block a lot more and until Crabtree and Manningham got back the leading receiver not named Boldin or Davis was fullback Bruce Miller.

You can say all you want that Kaep sucked the first ten games but there was some pretty determining circumstances to cause that. You just flat out said he's a bad passer like we're talking about Geno Smith. Also, how many qb sweeps and designed scrambles have you seen? They're barely running those.
