I was referring more to the efficiency of the Offense, which has them listed at 12th. That's better than average.
That being said, Denver's PPG went up last night by a couple points. Same can be said about their defense, but think about this keen stat:
Denver has only allowed 10 points in the second half for the entire season.

That's rather decent of you to point out, Aaron.
Khazim, regarding Denver's offense, 19.8 ppg/22nd in the league is quite pedestrian, is it not? Or were you trying to refute something else?

i didn't realize that two special teams td's would increase the offence's ppg average. learn something new every day, i guess.

They're 18th in the league in points per game according to NFL.com. That's not great, certainly, but it's a lot better than people would have expected based on the personnel on the field. The fact that McDaniels deserves (some) of the blame for that doesn't take away from the fact that this team is outperforming expectations on both sides of the ball. The title of this thread looks pretty stupid right now, and there's obviously no chance in hell that I'm going to win our bet.

Aikman has the Broncos defense rated most efficient in the NFL.
Average offense plus dominating defense = winner.

I've always adored Kyle Orton. He's perfect for a not-so-great team. Honestly, Denver got the better end of that deal, or so it'd appear now.

I'd be willing to take that bet on the Skins.
For Tyles...

Plus they started last season in a similar fashion. They had a convincing win vs. the Raiders in week one, followed by a flukish win on a egregious non-fumble call against San Diego in week two. And we saw how that season turned out...

Well, the Broncos have yet to play the Chiefs or Raiders. That could get them to six wins right there. :lol:
(And they play the Redskins. 7-9 is quite possible.)

Not that...Tyles brought up the whole Broncos prediction thing. You sent me a U2U days ago, but I wasn't going to mention it on the boards, until Tyles misremembered.

The point is the Broncos fell flat on their faces, just like last year.

No, that's not the point at all. The Broncos were 8-5 with home games against Oakland and Kansas City ahead on the schedule, and somehow managed to miss the playoffs. That is a massive fail, regardless of preseason expectation. In that light, it's motherfucking good to be a Seahawks (or a Redskins) fan.

Personally, I've been skeptical of the Broncos all season, so their not making the playoffs is not a disappointment. None of this mitigates the fact that the Seahawks are turds.

Originally posted by TylesThe Raiders beat several decent teams this season, including two playoff teams. The KC loss was embarassingly bad, but, as it turns out, even a win would not have gotten them in the playoffs.

"The coach of the team that I root for just got fired, and the coach of one of the many teams that you root for is still employed and also a megadouche."

Seeing as how our team rooting interests have been established, its really not hard.
