I personally get the feeling that the Broncos want play the style of football more conducive to playoffs, I got that feeling back when the problem was definitely/positively Manning and not the lack of aggressiveness.

I got that impression because that's pretty much what the Broncos have been telling us they wanted to do.

The 'Les Miles' style of football eventually doesn't work. I see the same with the BRONCOS right now running the same. No one expects a major blowout every game, but make the opposing defense stop the BRONCOS from scoring. I get the clock management and relying on the defense, but it takes one score by the opposing team to get back into it. We've seen it numerous times, and Ive seen people here complain why the BRONCOS just sat on the score. It worked out this time, and as Rav said, the BRONCOS aren't that good to where they can turn on & off a switch.

I think the difference is the big play ability which we have not really seen. Saw it on a couple plays with Manning but not as much with Oz. Kubiak's system is take what they give us, and wait for the deep shot down the field. It's not like steelers who are always looking to go deep.

Tebow is a better passer than the LSU QB.

My point exactly. If Oz is that good, there is no need to run a 'Miles' offense. Miles does know how to recruit RBs though.

The Florida starter got suspended so that guy is the back-up.

Kinda looks like it's working.

Yeah, only this time I'd put a QB in the formation.

Why do you do this to yourself? You're like a boxer that leans into the punch.
