Interesting thought. It's crossed my mind. I really don't think that the motives of either team change much based on what happened last week. The interesting question, in my mind, is whether Denver learned anything from how SD beat Seattle. I didn't see that game, but two points from the box score are very interesting to me:
1. SD controlled the ball for about two-thirds of the games.
2. Antonio Gates caught three TDs.
Speaking first to (1), I was reminded very much of the SD game at Denver when they beat the Broncos last December by how much SD also controlled TOP in that game. That point was also a kick in the gut when I thought about having just watched a KC team without Jammal Charles and Derrick Johnson just keep the ball away from us. Scary stuff. : shudders :
(2), however, gives me some hope. Antonio Gates is a beast, but he is also the mother of an even greater new generation beast: Number 80 Julius Thomas (so long as PMFM doesn't murder him before kickoff).
I know that it will be difficult -- perhaps even impossible -- for my Broncos to win in Seattle. Tell you this though ... our defense has to be better than it was yesterday in order for that to happen (e.g., we can't keep giving up third and long plays!).
However things turn out, I hope no player gets hurt, while also hoping that all Seattle fans are able to resist poking out their own eyes at the end of the game!
