"But I can't imagine a worse showing by a team in week 1."

one by a team that ended up winning the Super Bowl.

Peyton's game is notable for a few reasons.

1) They had no running scores (or really running game) so all his damage had to come through the air.

2) They were close enough that the Broncos felt they had to keep passing up till 4:45 left in the game in large part becuase #1 was the case. They couldn't run out the clock becuase they couldn't really run the ball.

Now, is the secondary good, based on the last few games in general, no, it's not. But you know how many qb's are as good as Peyton --- maybe 2. Sure, teh Ravens face them later (Tom and Aaron), but the other 13 games...we won't be facing God.

Until guys like Brandon Weedon start lighting up the secondary, it's one game vs a supremely talented offense.

The team has never given up 49 points before. It should have been 56 if it wasn't for a Leon Lett moment. - Inigo Sep 6, 06:47 1
- That second half was better than many legendary QBs best *games*. -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 07:33
