Patriots @ Broncos - Game Thread

[English Patriot]

I hope Thunder prances through the studio and shoves his hoof through Costas' head.

High is back!

Are you sure? I feel deflated.

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

Hightower is on the bench. Good sign.

They really need him.

I get this at least 5 times on gameday. Frustrating as hell.

 

[fightingirish595]

Fully aware of that. Obviously having a lead is preferred. I don't think you start playing conservative though. Why take your foot off the pedal when you are on the road against a tough team?

Eh, bad weather, getting the ball back after the half, god forbid there is a turnover and they score. I wanted 7 just as much as anyone but I do not think there was a right or wrong decison there

The Patriots-Texans game has been flexed. They will now play on Sunday Night Football.

FML, not this Michaels, collinsworth, Tafoya, costas, circus again. I can't take these dumbasses anymore!

I've had about 12-14 hours sleep in the last 3 days and I've been up for about 19 hours...feeling sleepy.

did Bob Costas just admit on TV that Brady is better than Manning or did I hallucinate that?

Hightower back on the field with his teammates, flexing that left knee/leg.

 

[Betterthanmost]

Get Harper on the field please.

Oh thank god.

 

[Joey007]

High is back!

Is he in uniform though?

 

[alvinnf]

If they are out both Ward and a fatty, I would say its a bit of a push with Hightower out. Don't like it, but you still gotta go out there and make some plays.

 

[VrabelJr]

Ugh for gods sake, another night game... My next-day morning productivity at work is just awful this year...

Patriots on Primetime 3-0
Ross on Monday 0-3

My husband cannot throw the ball and play run defense too!

Like I said earlier. He is still the face of the league

To be accurate, the forehead of the League.

 

[patchick]

Comes back to BB and company not doing enough in draft or FA in the WR dept.

If the lack of WR options in this game is the result of offseason failings...does that mean that adding Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola, Brandon Gibson and Aaron Dobson as options in this game wouldn't fix the WR situation? Or that if they were missing four better WRs they would be in better shape?

 

[PScottman]

Just imagine what he does with legit talent straight out of college.

Pure athletic talent like Ochocinco? Brandon Lloyd? Reggie Wayne?

Why does everyone forget the cerebral necessity of this offense with this GOAT QB??? It's a package deal necessity - not "want", to have guys who can both get open but also read defenses and react in synchronicity with said GOAT QB that results in four total Super Bowls.

I said earlier in this thread this is probably a game where the first to 2o wins. If Hghtower is out for the Game now the Pats probably need to score 24-28 points. Tall order against this D in these conditions. Hopefully the D shows it is still worth a damn even without Hightower. If you want to be a great D you don't just fall apart. You don't go from dominant to sucky inside the game cause 1 player leaves your lineup.
