I agree with you on the run game. I said before the game that NE defense can beat any pass-only offense. If Denver stayed with the run it would have been close at the very least and if the run was working the blow-out might have been the other way.....
Unfortunately the Broncos are known for abandoning the run very quickly if it isn't work right away and if the other team gets a bit of a lead. The Broncos panic way too quickly and Peyton gets in his head that he has to bring the team back and puts too much of the responsibility on his own shoulders. The team and Peyton have to learn to not panic in those kind of games. In our 2 losses this season it was because of 2nd quarter points by the opposition that caused the Broncos to just abandon the game plan. The team just has to learn that not everything is going to go the way they want all the time but they cannot abandon what has brought them success and that is staying balanced.
