The Official Patriots vs Broncos AFC Championship game thread

Let's get Dobson or Edelman deep -- that'll open the run up

Just the usual big game OL failure. Seen it pretty much every year since 2007.

They should take out Blount and put in Ridley and Vereen. Ridley had success against the Broncos last year and Blount is just too slow.

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.

I would agree, but the Pats got the ball first.

I'll agree about trading FGs for TDs if D can't hold DEN without a score here... for now, it's still a "simple" 1 score game.

for all folks with their 1 or 2 beers... i thought *i* was a lightweight... ready to switch to the harder stuff.... drambuie or straight up laphroaig? votes?

Brady has had pretty good protection all game thus far and just like that a big whiff on an important game. Still only seven points.

Hopefully, Talib will be back in. The defense is very different without him.

3 and out is a must.

wonder if they will call any penalties on the broncos today

Based on our offensive trends this season (1 good half/1 bad half) we’re primed for a great second half

No Talib = Touchdown for Manning unless the defense makes a play

Jones got raped!

Flag! yes

edit: carter

we can use some luck from the football gods.

omg they called denver on a penalty?

About fecking time

About time that got called.

yeah, baby,,, if you didn't call that hold i woulda been ballistic.

Good call refs.

Oh, sure...Wes catches that

Andre Carter draws the hold!

Oh look how tough butterfingers is now...catching balls and flexing his muscles and all.
