They are winning games but what will happen when they meet a defense as stout as theirs

Everyone has it right. I live in Denver and everyone hates Jake. All they talk about it is they want Jay Cutler to play NOW!!! I don't care though I'm a KC fan.

Last year the Broncos started a power running game offense with very limited and safe west coast passes. Everyone says Plummer was great last year but he wasn't; they had an offense that was easy to run and he made a lot of play action passes or safe passes.
In the playoffs when he was needed to make some plays, he couldn't do it and they lost.
Most teams are now putting 8 men on the line on defense because they know the Broncos are going to run much of the time. This obviously limits the running game.
Expect more of the same. Shanahan is old school and does not want Cutler to start. Being so conservative usually ends up biting you in the playoffs and I dont' see the Broncos going far.

You can point the finger at Jake the Snake, his stats are horrible. His rating is 60.4, he has 7 ints and 4 tds, but at the same time he only has had 169 attempts. The main focus to the offensive futility needs to be turned towards the Shanahan and the Off. Coordinator. They are running the offense like the Ravens and the Bears of last season. A lot of running, working the clock and letting their great defense win the game.

the reason why they are struggling is because of jake the fake plummer when they meet somebody with a defense as good as theirs they are in trouble especially if that team hgas an offense to go with a defense which is why i say that denver will not win a championship this year

Simply: they aren't TRYING to score a lot of points. Once they get a small lead, they are playing Martyball.
We don't know what Plummer would do because, frankly, he isn't being given a chance to screw things up -- or make big plays to run up the score.
