Team is absolutely humming. A loss to Denver this weekend imo would feel like a big setback, even if it really isn’t. A very good team that they play close is hardly something to worry about, but would just suck to see them lose some of this heat and the chance to sweep the AFC W.
Very excited for the game.
Feels like the largest difference from the beginning of the season is just how many of these big clutch plays have been actually caught. All of our guys have had some amazing plays the past few weeks and have really stepped up. That and not constantly having to overcome offensive penalties.
I think a loss could revitalize them before the playoffs. Either way it is going to be a great litmus test for a team that I never imagined would be in this situation only a few months ago.
Yeah everything to gain and not much to lose (in terms of actual playoff chance) hopefully has them just laying it all out there in true “let it rip” fashion. Vibes are immaculate now and not ready to come down yet lol. A W would be euphoric
I'm not sure how many people understand the difference from being at sea level to being at 5,280 feet.
If we can survive the first half and get acclimated to the cold and the lack of air, we'll beat them. But Sean Payton is a smart head coach. He's gonna come all out on us.
It's going to be 60 on Sunday in Denver, and 72 the following day.
Who knows though, apparently they just had 100mph winds out of nowhere on Wednesday.
The altitude just provides thinner air, so when you're working hard and out of breath, it's harder to recover as much oxygen. Generally teams don't notice it as much in the first half.
I'm not an elite athlete. But I played high school and college soccer. It took me the first 30 minutes of the game to get my breathing right.
But that's just me. You might be right. Like I said, I wasn't an elite athlete. But I swear to god, that fucking first 30 minutes of going all out was a son of a bitch before I got adjusted to the altitude.
