I think Denver has shown enough good things to be optimistic and hopefully look for more improvement for the offense. They are a strong team and can compete with the Chiefs but everything has to go right. Chiefs/Broncos traditionally go to the wire and usually decided by a big play or turnover. Smith is foolish to be running the ball the way he is and I wonder why Reid lets him anyway. On the same thought I would take it easy on CJ for awhile and use him mostly in the first and fourth Qtrs. I feel that's when your running game needs to set the pace of the game. I feel he has nothing really to prove except stay healthy. 292 carries would be pushing your luck. Why?  I'd sure like to see a healthy CJ towards the end for a possible late season push. He can start and set the pace in the first Qtr and let Booker and Charles get reps and come back and close out the game hopefully with a win. It really helps to have all the backs to carry the load. A Godsend.
