Broncos vs chargers

Well for my first ever blog I though I would keep it simple and just explain what I see are the key factors for the Broncos to win on Sunday. First of  all our defense needs a big day. Secondly, our running game needs to get going and finally we have to slow down Bush.

I know the first two games have been fun for Broncos fans to watch and I'll be the first to admit that Cutler looks awesome, but if there is anything that concerns me it's that our defense gave up 21 points in the second half to the Chargers last week and if it wasn't for our offense and a little luck we would have lost the game. So this week I am look for our defense to have a big day, let's see if they will be up to the task. The first thing they will have to do is stop the run, but they haven't been able to do it yet this year so we will see. They are also going to have to get some pressure on Brees as well he is also pretty good. I would also like to see a few turnovers this week. Nothing builds confidence to a shaky defense like turnovers. (or sacks)

The second factor is our running game, now I know it is a lot more exciting to see Cutler throw the ball 50 times a game and the Broncos average 40 ppg, but we have to be able to run the ball, and I know deep down everyone knows this too. If you run the ball you control the clock, and you demoralize the other team. I know our running game hasn't been bad so far but if Selvin Young wants to reach his goal of rushing for over 2000 yards this year, they are going to need to get things going.

Finally, they need to find a way to stop Reggie Bush. He has the ability to line up all over the place and can beat you many different ways, so we have to find a way to contain him, or at least slow him down.

Prediction: I think the Broncos are having to much fun in the passing game right now and I don't think the Saints have enough on defense to stop them so expect to see Cutler lighting up the scoreboard again this week.

Final Score: Broncos 38- Saints 28
