I would argue that the offenses Peyton has run have always been pass dependent and therefore not as effective in cold weather and against elite defenses. Folks around here forget, but Elway was known as more of a big game flopper before Shanny came along with a balanced offense and commitment to the run.
Elway didn't struggle in the winter. I said that he was known as more of a big game flopper than Peyton before his super bowl wins. It doesn't mean that he was one. He lost 3 super bowls because he carried 3 bad teams on his back to them. None of the first 3 super bowl teams he played on had any business being there. For those of us who watched the Broncos back then, it was painfully obvious.
I also said that Peyton's offenses struggle in weather and against elite defenses. The second element doesn't change in a dome.
I thought the last 3 seasons worked like a mother****er.

I don't know why it bother some people that Denver is going to make use of a fullback. Even though Denver will use one I doubt this offense will use one as much as it did in the mid '90s.
