That's the beauty of Denver, they take unheralded backs (or ones not that great) and make them so.
Great O-Line and great blocking system they have.
Not to mention Brandon Marshall, Orton has played amazingly and the Defense has stepped up. Denver is legit IMO

I think last year Denver ended up losing something like 6 different running backs to injuries and they still had a somewhat competent ground game with running back number 7.

But you must admit....the G-Men have a bad habit of making games very difficult...often against teams it shouldn't be. I almost had a heart attack by the end of '07
A cushy schedule is all good by me. Not to mention the Redskins are looking awful and who knows what the hell the Cowboys are doing
Also, it appears the Titans are still winless.....sad.
What happened? Everything is still there, did losing Haynesworth cause the whole team to fall apart or something?

not having a real starting QB hurts

That's actually not far from the truth. I do not know much about Zone Blocking, but I know Denver uses it and their system is particularly good. I don't know what they do exactly...but it works. Also didn't know Braylon Edwards went to the Jets. That's really gunna help dirty sanchez (or dirty as we call him) Henne isn't doing to bad himself thus far..

What a game. I am really not surprised at the result either. The Phins D is a bit leaky...but that run game and O-Line are GODLY. All they needed was a good QB...... Their O-Line is just amazing, the Wildcat isn't a trick anymore...but damn they block well, pure domination. I also love how the commentators said, "This is so atypical for an NFL offense. No QB, no receivers" just 4 Running Backs  I am becoming a dolphins fan.

So it appears that the NFL's owners are going to vote down any ownership group that has Rush Limbaugh in it. Too bad for the Rams.

Seriously! Oh thank God. The Rams are my #2 team (and I really do follow and root for them) and I almost died when I heard Rush wanted to buy them. NO politics wanted in here...but if he did buy them I might have cried

I don't know what it is about Missouri. I like the Rams, as well as the Cardinals and the Tigers. I have no connection with the state what so ever. Strange. Too bad the Rams are in the land of epic suck right now.  Talent wise, I think they may the worst team right now

Yea, no doubt..I just hope we win a game. We are just pitiful is every facet of the game...aside from Jackson's rushing.

This is true. Granted my favorite teams are my local ones At least the only good news for the Rams, Limbaugh will be involved in no way. Considering they have a realistic chance of going 0 - 16...I'll take that. On a quasi related note: Giants finally play a good team. Can't wait to see if our D will stand up against that crazy Saints offense. Last time I heard G-men had the #1 pass defense, not to mention that relentless pass rush and blitzing. Not and easy game at all, but I feel confident.

We shall see. The Giants have no problem going against prolific pass offenses...
Will be one hell of a game though, looking forward to it

The Steelers run defense might suffer now that extremely dangerous DE Aaron Smith is out for the year.

Another injury on defense they did not need.
