Peyton also lost his Starting C for the year after the man tore his ACL.

going to be a rough year for the broncos with all the injuries and turnover. sucks after coming so close last year. especially sucks with how high expectations are likely to be. The Welker hate is overblown and I expect good things from him lined up between DT88 and Decker. If he and PM can get on the same page, I think the Broncos offense will be exciting to watch.

Ravens are stacked with their offseason pickups. I was expecting a one-and-done, but I think they'll go far this year. Doom is going to fill the gaps left nicely. I'm predicting a painful home loss to start off the broncos season...one that likely would not have happened had the fax machine been working.

the jury is still out on the Ravens WR group, outside of Torrey... and possibly jacoby.... we're still trying to find that guy or guys that can separate themselves. so far no player on the team other than Torrey has separated themselves consistently... and that's what has me worried.

I think part of the reason the Ravens have been effective is distributed WR talent (and also a really good running game). It's non-traditional and most teams don't have the CB/S depth to handle the style of passing game the Ravens run. We shall see how it plays out in the regular season though.

Welker should be good to to for the the regular season. I think Peyton Manning is good enough to overcome a bad defense. I think the Broncos will go as far as they did last year, but probably without the #1 seed. I still think it will be Patriots vs Ravens again for the AFC championship.

You think Ravens can repeat with the amount of turnover they've had?

Their offense might take a step back, but their defense should be better. I think that losing Boldin will hurt them.

It's not the "when" that determines whether he catches it or not, it's the amount of pressure. He's the Romo of the wide receivers.

for sure. Flacco definitely lost his go to man with that one. according to Ozzie Newsome though he said that trading Boldin was the necessary sacrifice to retool the defense. he said that if they hadn't of traded Boldin.... the team would not have signed Elvis Dumervil,Chris Canty, Marcus Spears, and Michael Huff.

True, but they will still need other receivers to step up in his place.

Broncos shoild still be able to win their division at least.

The only dolphins fan admitting to liking the team speaks but is not heard over the tumultuous roar made by 49ers fans.
