You actually believe that?

It'll be interesting to see if Cushing has any supplements that help him breathe better at altitude against a no-huddle offense

Everyones using a form of the no huddle this year. The Texans are using the Sugar/Muddle Huddle this year.
And I wouldnt worry about the Texans getting to tired. With our rotation the guys get plenty of rest.
And it didnt seem to bother the Falcons.

Going to be an interesting game. First somewhat decent team we play this year so I guess you could call it a "TEST"game.
Here's to Jughead and more of those interceptions he seemed so fond of on Monday night.

people from Texas are the coolest.

Falcons played against it in Atlanta...not Mile High. If it had an effect on a solid Steelers defense that played there in January...I would hope it could affect a mediocre Texans defense.

Not in July and August we aren't

I think these are the two best teams in the AFC. Honestly, I think Houston is slightly better because I don't see any weakness on our team. I don't think there is even an area of the game that we are just average and I think the Broncos running game is just average. Other than that if you rank these teams by position they are both in the top 5 in just about every unit.

After these two it would be the usual suspects. Balt, Pitt etc.

I like the Texans... its going to be a very tough game for the Broncos. I could see Houston making it to the superbowl this season

I know this is the smack shack and all... but that doesn't mean that you should say isht that doesn't make sense. The Texans defense is anything but mediocre.

I'm just not enamored with it. I think they come back to reality after playing two creampuffs. That's just my opinion

We've got a beast on every unit (Watt, Cushing, Joseph) and no real weakness (even KJ looks pretty good) along with a DC who has experience against Manning in the past. Other than when Phillips was a DC at Atlanta, when they were terrible in 02 and the HC got fired half way through the season, Manning has put up decent numbers but been relatively inefficient against Phillips. We will find out for sure this weekend but I don't think you can call our defense mediocre.

I think Atlanta was a good test for Denver's run defense. But Foster/Tate are a different animal than Rodgers and Turner.

If Cushing takes it, I'd take it.

So far, Houston's defense looks good. If Denver can get their lives together, your defense has the potential to get shredded this week.

I beg to differ, especially three years ago when you guys had a legitimate shot at the division title. Again, it was Manning and the Colts who snatched it away from you.
