“He has obviously been preparing for this opportunity and it has showed”. “I said, ‘You should consider yourself blessed because you have had an opportunity to line up behind the best to ever to do it.’ You couldn’t have asked for a better situation for what we have right now behind Peyton”.

The stats don’t faze the Broncos.
I could not agree more. Given time, Osweiler should be able to get Thomas the ball underneath to give him a chance to turn short throws into serious gains.
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Denver’s last 6 games when playing New England. According to The Denver Post, Osweiler was under center on 88 percent of his snaps versus the Bears.
“The Patriots game will be tough, but not impossible. He needs to play well in the first half, but really keep his focus and energy on point in the second half when the Patriots will go full strength on him to force turnovers”.
At the end of the day, Osweiler will be tested and will need to answer a Patriots touchdown drive with one of his own.
Could not agree anymore.
The injuries to the Patriots’ offensive line must have the Broncos’ ferocious pass rush licking its chops.
They are No. 1 (Patriots) and 2 (Broncos) in scoring defense. We watched as Manning finally exercised his Patriot postseason demons with a 38-34 victory over Brady’s Pats in stunning come-from-behind fashion. I am sure Manning could have played a part in that one. He was out here at practice once again helping me out, asking me questions. But as this is the second opportunity for the Broncos to knock a team from the ranks of the unbeaten – at home, in prime time – there’s a little extra juice going into this one.
To make room on the roster for Ponder, the Broncos placed defensive end Kenny Anunike (knee) on injured reserve for the second consecutive season. He tried to return a punt later, but eventually left the game and will reportedly undergo an MRI exam on Tuesday to determine the severity of the injury.
Both sides have made impressive turnarounds. He’s talking me through all of his past experiences going against the Patriots and whatnot.
Seattle may be coming off a 500-yard performance in a dominating win against the San Francisco 49ers, but we have to look at the opponent the two-time defending NFC champs were going up against there. As for the Denver defense, there are important areas to keep an eye on.
In nine games played this season, Manning has 193 completions for 2,180 yards and only nine touchdowns, also throwing 17 interceptions. After losing Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola and Aaron Dobson, Tom Brady will be struggling to find open receivers on the outside.
“They’ve got very talented players – they’ve got them in the front, they’ve got them in the linebacking corps, they’ve got them in the secondary”, New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said. You hear that Mile High?
Over the first six games of the season, Denver’s tight end corps averaged a mere three catches for 20 yards.

Aaron Rodgers wasn’t the only quarterback casualty of that Sunday night smack-down. We have three active guys each and every week.
