The official Patriots vs Broncos game thread

[PATSNUTme]

Please post your pre and during game insightful comments, keen observations, knee jerk reactions, rants and raves all on this thread.

Weather does not seem to be a factor today with clear skies and temps around 50. Tomorrow they are talking about a blizzard in the Denver area.

With a win today, the Patriots will clinch the AFCE, which is always the first goal of a team. Let's hope for a good game and no injuries.

Last week after all the Sunday games, I said that this week was a perfect media storm. And so it came to pass.

If the Patriots should not win this one, there will be the mother of all media BS storms both locally and nationally. This cannot be allowed to happen- GO PATRIOTS.

Item 8 is an ancient curse against Tebow and the Donks appropriate for today...

We will know by the first TB12 POSSESSION if this is going to be a blow out or a tight game to the end.

If the broncos get good pressure the first drive and force a 3 and out, then the game could gO bad for the pats.

No dawkins means that secondary will get GRONKED!!!!

Yeah, this is almost every Patriot game in recent memory it seems. I agree.

The Broncos (or donkeys as I call them) are my state's (Wyoming, yeah we just achieved statehood) adopted pro team.... so ALL week has been a tebow frenzy here...My niece, who lives in Denver will be at the game and will text me throughout....

I will say that tebow has been good for NFL business in the area...

GO PATS!!!!!!! and may god be with the secondary....

 

[Patspsycho]

This game has a playoff feel to it.

There is a running joke going around that the last time a White Bronco (Tebow) got this much attention, OJ was in it.

Time for Ocho to have a big game!

I wouldn't hold your breath. Hopefully he'll have a few catches.

 

[coolguy]

Who needs ocho when we have GRONK!

Gronk is like 7 ocho's put together.

Mallett and OL Nick McDonald are final two inactive players.

If McDonald is inactive that means Connolly is back, healthy enough to play center and Wendell is healthy enough to be the backup.

Excellent for both protection and...dare I say it... running game?

Brian Dawkins is out for Denver. That's very good news for Pats passing game.

Without a doubt. Connolly is no all-pro, but the run blocking takes a step back with McDonald filling in for him.
