But I apologize, for future reference I will always insert the following into my analysis just to appease you: Denver is the best non-SeaGod defense there is. Feel better?
The condescension really isn't necessary. And cherry picking variables like 'hey, they don't have Von Miller' just isn't a winning argument. The Broncos don't have Earl Thomas, so what? I'll bow out of this discussion with some simple facts. The Seahawks have been the best scoring D for last four years in a row. Something that is unprecedented in the Super Bowl era and they were a better D than Denver was last year. So when you say that the Broncos are an 'all time' D based on a single, admittedly, great year then, sorry, that's a challengeable point of view and worth having a discussion over. Sorry for being a fan.
