The Official Patriots vs Broncos AFC Championship game thread

Wow. I will just say it. The Pats have a bad habit of breaking down on key downs especially the offensive line.

Great kick by Ghost.

Needed that. Back to a 1 score game.

Well that kick said it all, he could have kicked the one from 57 in to the net

10-10 at half, believe!

Defense has to get a stop before half.

I'd settle for being down 1 TD at halftime, given the missed big plays, the unequal refereeing, and the Broncos getting the ball first.

All 3 of those things could flip in the second half.

Ayers beat Solder with one quick move. A day of clean protection and their best drive ends just like that.

Oh shut up. Comments like this baffle me. If Brady hits Edelman on that pass it's an entirely different game. All it takes is a few plays. Some thoughtless comments like this don't add anything.

Every ****ing little thing that's screwed us over the year is happening already

injuries
refs
o-line allowing a sack on big 3rd downs
bad play calling


Just unbelievable.

Brady had Edelman on the fly, but no time to make the throw. Ayers beat Solder inside, no help.

Hey Solder, they usually blitz on 3rd in the red zone. Again and again. Geez. These guys are right back to the BS playing again. Lets get it together

Why can't our defense get to Manning like that. They need to find a way to disrupt his timing out there.

The OL isn't playing particularly well. They've not re-established the LOS at any point today. That needs to change for the Pats to win given the one way officiating.

Why don't other defenses play like the Patriot's defense when it's 3rd and long?

And, in these big playoff games of late, why don't other offense lines play like the Patriot's offensive line in crucial spots?

Mankins, WTF was that? You escorted the guy into the backfield.

Huh? That wasn't on Mankins at all

Start going low, I see another db running upward and missing an arm tackle I will lose it. You want to take cheap shots on it dbs your head better be on a swivel. Get after these bumbs. We have two bs calls in the bag so far. Ten point swing.

this drive could be the game with the broncos getting the ball to start the half.

D needs a 3 and out here. Badly.

Piss off Howe. It happens.

Pick 6 coming.
