Should the Broncos make the playoffs, I hope to not see the Ravens at all.
The Broncos D definitely held their own. If a playoff game happened in Denver, I wouldn't be surprised if things went a lot different. But the key to beating the Ravens D is throwing it deep and they really only took one shot all game. I hope all the blitzes will mean that won't be as big of a problem going forward, but I also don't think it was in the DEN gameplan. As horrible as that PI call was, with Marshall and our corners, some legit PI calls would've been likely.

Orton looked fine. They lost a tackle during the game which always is tough on a QB. He shouldn't have to carry a team, but it's not like he was all over the place or had a bunch of turnovers.

Can't argue with that, he was hung out to dry. I think Moreno has fumbled every game but one? I need to look it up, maybe its 2 if we're counting the train runover he experienced today.

Can't blame Orton for the craptastic line that showed up to the game and the loss of Ryan Harris didn't help any. Ravens were punching through the line at will. Orton couldn't do anything about it, he's not mobile. He didn't kill the team either, he wasn't turning the ball over.

Re: Week 8: Broncos @ Ravens

I see I didn't watch the game I just looked at his stats. That is good. Maybe he is better than I thought. I like Denver's Defense a lot.

Re: Week 8: Broncos @ Ravens

Yeah, the only important stat for Orton in this game is zero turnovers. It's actually kind of impressive that he didn't throw a pick with that pressure (though Suggs dropped one). Same for Flacco. Check out his stats. Both defenses were on their game today.

Re: Week 8: Broncos @ Ravens

Good thing you Ravens won today. Chargers definitely needed that. Both scedules are still pretty tough for the exception that denver is probably going to kill the redskins (unless the defense gets some pick 6's cause thats about the only way there going to score). C'mon Steelers.

Flacco is a ****ing stud! Plain and simple. I love that guy!

Having Gaither against the Bengals this time is going to be helpful I think.
The Bengal game will be tough. A bye week to refresh after shellacking the Bears 45-10, with Benson approaching 200 yards rushing. Good news-it looks like Ngata will be OK-X-Rays were negative and he said he could have stayed in the game.

Webb 95 Yard TD
