| Gotta go with Denver simply because they have Von Doom. Those two, especially Miller, make a bigger difference than any Falcons players can dream of. |

200% sure you are wrong. The Broncos damn near won the game while being -4 in turnover ratio. It was an anomaly of a game in which the Bronco's first 5 drives came with 4 turnovers. That will never happen again.
But, on topic, the Broncos defense is much much better than the Falcons. Currently it is 3rd in the league in yards per game, allowing ~50 less than ATL per game, and is top 10 in every single statistic, including 2nd against the run(YPC). Also, Denver hasn't allowed a single 300 yard passer this year, and they have played a decent group of QBs in Brees, Brady, Ryan, Schuab, Rothlisburger, Rivers, and Palmer. The Broncos are also the #2 point producing defense from INTs, Fumbles, and safeties. Keep in mind the Broncos are also the #1 sacking defense, compared to ATL's 16th. In fact, the Broncos do everything better than the Falcons on defense, save for points per game. The Broncos allow an average of 1.1 points more than the Falcons per game.
Tl:dr Broncos easily have the better defense. |

Welp that answers that... Atlanta man handled us to a 6 point win in Peyton Manning's 2nd game back. So that must mean the Falcons have the superior defense. 
Denver ranks 3rd in total defense. Atlanta is ranked 19th. The Broncos are superior to the Falcons is pretty much every statistical category. So please dont make ridiculous posts which you have no idea about. At least do some research.

Yep that 6 point manhandling. You got it man. Nevermind we gifted them 13 automatic points on turnovers, and let up 14 the rest of the time on the road...Denver's defense is playing unreal right now

Voted for Broncos, just thought this logic was kinda silly, just brushing off the most significant statistic...... |

Broncos. Their pass rush is dominant.

Just looking at one stat, that is an outlier fyi, is just silly. All the rankings together give you a better picture -even though it's no substitute for the old eye test- and favor the Broncos.
One game earlier in the year where Peyton threw 3 INT's in the first quarter, gift wrapping the Falcons 13 points, has no bearing on how good the defenses of either team are.

I agree. This Atlanta Falcons team looks just like the 2010 team that was basically average on both offense and defense but somehow was Top 5 in both PPG and PPG allowed. They've won a bunch of close game just like they did in 2010. They don't really look like an elite team to me. I have a feeling that they are going to get their doors blown off in the playoffs by a team like the Giants, Packers, or 49ers.
This is a laughable question. The Falcons defense just isnt' a very scary or disruptive unit. There's nothing special about it. |
