Maybe its just me, but that fat guy who ate Von Miller was not terribly impressive t. We have survived without Von and Champ. Some would say that we looked better when they were out. We expect PFM to rise to the demand of his legacy. Now the only real question about the Bronco's is this defense. If you are the incoming offense against Peyton, you are praying the night before for all of your cocky defenders, realizing that if your prayers don't work, you may have to match 50 in order to win.
Peyton has not only turned this team into a championship contender. He has made the Denver Broncos into the most hunted team in the league and every team prepares like they are going in against Goliath.
Who is this attack being waged against?
I contend that the rock that David keeps throwing at this Goliath is being aimed at our defense. Has our defense prepared themselves for this reality. I think so, because they adjust and they get key stops and turnovers. We keep wanting to see their best over the course of a game just to help us know that they have it in them, but the truth is that we only need this defense to rise to the challenge of one big game.
When Peyton is great, as he often is, the defense only has to be good, maybe even okay. On that rare occasion that Peyton is not great, the defense will need to be good, maybe great for the Broncos to win it all. We've seen signs of really really good from this defense, but only time will tell if they can be great when it matters, or if they will even need to be.
