Patriots @ Broncos - Game Thread

[Big-T]

You do know Pittsburgh drafted all those guys btw? That is sort of what i was hinting at.

Take all 3 out of the Steelers team with injuries then, that's the position the Patriots are in. I assume you saw the best offense in the league when they had all the receivers healthy and the #1 RB on the field? Or are you conveniently ignoring that?

Hightower officially questionable to return

That really says nothing though

How did that work out for them earlier?

Big Ben is not Tom Brady, that's why it doesn't work out for them.

That felt highly unusual of the Patriots to pass up a chance for pts before the half. Had plenty of time.

I have seen it this year before. Very conservative stuff. Left points in that first
half. Our run defense has to get better

Comes back to BB and company not doing enough in draft or FA in the WR dept. now some of these drafted WR were never thought to be ELITE or that explosive at time of draft and they come outta nowhere but otherwise BB has all the stats and film on these top recruit WR....but u will never see him take one....

McD crapped himself with that playcalling

Circa Super Bowl 2007 when he looked like Coach Kline of the Mudcats in Waterboy before he got his Mojo back!!!!!

Could you imagine this offense with just one of Brown/Bryant/Wheaton? Hell, give #12 even Sammie Coates and he'd turn him into the next Moss. Pittsburgh has a luxury they don't deserve.

Pats have to make some changes on D now that Hightower is out.

I can see edelperson and Dola back home, watching the game together, shaking their heads....

Denver guy went low to take out HT on that play

 

[Joey007]

In this weather, we will be in big trouble if they can run and we can't in the second half.

 

[PatsBoy12]

Seriously, when was there ever a time when injuries were this bad?

 

[alvinnf]

I am still very confused by that last series. Don't tell me weather and injuries, there is a whole 1/2 left. What are we going to do run it every down from now on? That made NO sense regardless of injuries and weather... IMHO.

I think it's hard to see the condition of the field on the tube. I bet it got pretty slick out there. Not too mention, no shame in giving your OL a little confidence going into the second half. Big fellas gotta set their pads a little.

Bob Costas is a miniature pain in the ass.

 

[Bobsyouruncle]

Costas is freaking annoying.

How is anyone content with a 7 point lead on the road, in Denver? I don't know, I would have at least liked to try to get into field goal range.

Winning games is hard, Ill always take a halftime lead, especially on the road against a good football team

Not to be disrespectful to our receivers or backs (excluding Gronk or Edelman) but they are not on the level of Bell or Brown or even Bryant. It's a talent thing that i'm talking about, look at what Tom does with cast offs and UFA's. Just imagine what he does with legit talent straight out of college. Not scrubs like Dobson.

99% of the time, this leads to an 'out' designation.

 

[Gronkowski123]

way to go costas....suck off manning.

fingers crossed for hightower but that was bad.

 

[VrabelJr]

Lots of alcohol consumed in this thread

 

[moejr]

Need points to start 2nd half

 

[saspack]

HT went down certainly doesn't help. Offense has to step up. Need a couple of long drives.
