The NFL has become a pseudo-NBA.

1. Offense is at advantage over defense.

2. The game, more than ever, is a star's game. It all circulates on having a star quarterback. The star quarterbacks get the calls too.

3. Tempo is being advanced.

That's not a knock against Brady (I just think he's a jerk), or Ben (who allegedly raped someone)

It's becoming more of an individual game

Even Peyton's short throws wobble

And people think they can beat NE.  lol.  Not a prayer.  Vintage Peyton isn't coming back, and even if he did, Peyton has a sub-.500 playoff record.

I wonder if we see Osweiler come into this game. Would hopefully at least make it a little more interesting.

Well if there's one thing you an say about Ben, he's a man who doesn't easily take "no" for an answer.

Watching these games makes you realize how much we overrate our talent on defense.

For sure, but our defense had been bad for a while before this year.  We weren't suddenly elite because we spent a ton of coin on the secondary.  We still have slow LB's and a DL built for run-stopping instead of pass-rushing.  The Broncos and Steelers have that track record of strong D.  Our scheme had to hide our flaws.  PIT and Denver's schemes accentuate their strengths.  Big difference there.

agreed completely. But all of these first round picks have netted us what outside of Wilkerson? In context with the rest of the other really good teams in the league Pryor and Sheldon are average players. Milliner is a bust and Leonard looks like another ok player . Teams like Pittsburgh hit on their picks. Did anyone even realize they have Sammie Coates?

Sheldon is a bit more than an average player. 

I would say Milliner and Coples are the busts

Leonard looks like more than just another ok player. That's a really poor assessment of a top defensive rookie in the league.

Welcome to what everyone realized a long time ago.
