They have 2 of the 1 thing we can't stop: tight ends. Gronk and Hernandez are mismatch problems for the defense. I followed the Denver defense during fantasy football and tight ends had their best games against us.
Gronk and Hernandez didn't really do much in the first Denver/NE game though. I think the problem against most teams is that Denver focuses on shutting down the WRs and lets the TEs go purposely, like against the Ravens. They clamped down on Smith and Boldin, The Baltimore offense did absolutely nothing until the game was a blowout, then Pitta comes up with a ton of garbage time yards and TDs. Looks bad on paper, but in reality it was meaningless. It'll probably be different against the Pats, as the Broncos will likely gameplan around taking away the TEs.

If Denver could shutdown those tight-ends, aside from Wes Welker, nothing really scares me about the New England pass attack. One, huge, killer from the first game from the Broncos inability to stop the run. We finished the season 3rd in rushing yards allowed per game, but for some reason we just could not stop their runing attack the first time around.

True but the Patriots match up better defensively against the Broncos O than the Broncos defense does against the Patriots O which is hella more important
Patriots have no problem scoring against your Denver Broncos Defense

Obviously a huge contributing fact was that Aaron Hernandez didn't even play in that Oct. 7th game, and it's the combination of the two being on the field together that maximizes their effectiveness.
