BA Baracus Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 That really takes a lot of pressure off of our secondary. Brown was the only guy who could really blow up our press man coverage scheme. I feel pretty good about Talib taking Bryant out of most plays and Wheaton is, well, Wheaton. I really like our defense to slow down that PIT offense a good deal now. Unfortunately, I don't have much confidence that our offense can get much going against their D. Ultimately, I think that the Steeler D is going to still keep this game close and that it will be a late 4th quarter drive or turnover that seals the victory for one of these teams. With the line moving to -7 for the Broncos, I would be getting behind the Steelers to cover, but the Broncos to win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA Baracus Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I really hope Peyton doesnt blow it for you guys. I have a feeling in my gut that he is going to play well. If he does, look out. This is the best defense he's ever had backing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their remaining WRs obviously demand attention, even if they're not AB they're still pros. However I have to wonder if the abscence of the best WR in football may inspire Wade Phillips to get cute with some of his blitz packages. You know TJ Ward loves to get after the QB. If Landry Jones starts, 2015 may see 2 playoff shutouts. Potentially no Ben, no AB, no DeAngelo against Denver's well rested and mostly healthy orange crush 2.0? Man if that doesn't scream shutout I don't know what does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montana is da Man Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Although I'd like to think so, nothing is certain. This is very true, but with no Antonio and Ben probably not 100% I think the Broncos D will limit the Steelers offense all afternoon. 20 - 10 Broncos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA Baracus Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I think Ben plays. His arm would have to be detached from his body to sit out a playoff game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaft Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) I think Ben plays. His arm would have to be detached from his body to sit out a playoff game. His presence alone makes a big difference. I remember when defenses were trying to control Brown and Bryant, and Wheaton had his best games. Ben makes any defense a little worried.

True, but not defense only have to worry about Bryant and Wheaton, and it's allot easier to shut those two down when there is no Brown on the field.

When Bryant was out, it was Heyward-Bey putting up good numbers in the beginning of the season. They have weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but Brown is the ultimate weapon. Bryant, Wheaton and Heyward-Bey don't scare me anywhere near as much as Brown, Bryant and Wheaton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gourdeau Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 any given sunday. Time for Bryant to step up. I see a lot of Heath Miller and Screens coming. Not feeling great but anything can happen.

When did the PIT D start getting props for being so good that people fear they cannot score on them. They're 12 in total yards allowed, 11 in points allowed. Wow, they'er tied for 3rd in turnovers, and 3rd in sacks too. Guess they're better than I realized. Still I think the Broncos can score on them, especially with the sheriff back in the saddle.
