Patriots @ Broncos - Game Thread

Seriously wtf is error 522? Site has crashed about 55 times during/game

I'm tired more than angry. I've just about had my fill of this corrupt league and the go along to get along owner who won't stand up for us.

BB and TFB are the "owners" in my book, I support them.

How did the Bears hold this team to 17 points and we gave up 30?

Everygame is different A=B doesnt mean B=C. **** happens sometimes.

We had bad weather and even worse officiating.

That should have been plenty but I know we can't beat the refs and Denver. I just hope now that Carolina loses one

I couldn't care less about Carolina. If we get the 1 seed and Gronk is going to be OK for the playoffs, I'll get over this. Right now, Goodell and this bullsh*t league can go eat a d*ck.

Now that Chris Price has exposed the cretinous local media for what they are, I hope someone in the local media goes after them.

Tom Curran perhaps?

The Broncos will rot from the inside when manning gets healthy

We had 2-3 losses at this point last year..... When the midgets get back we will be ok

I realized earlier today that this is Kubiak's blocking scheme that gave the Pats fits last year against the Ravens and the year before against the 2-14 Texans. That's amplified when you have backup linebackers trying to change direction in snow. Something to keep in mind for what could be a rematch in similar conditions (but hopefully better health).


My random early game observation (back when things were mostly going well) was that the announcers probably shouldn't talk about how Derek Wolfe emerged as an impact player this year, considering he was busted for PEDs this offseason.

Plus the silver lining (if there is one) is that they wont have to feel the undefeated pressure PLUS not be in a situation in week 17 or even 16 where they would be trying to win games at the expense of team health. - if they were going for 16-0

The good news is I don't have to read sports this week

Neutrally or competently officiated game and the Patriots dominate.
Pats should be fine for the playoffs.
Hopefully gronkowski Edelman and amendola back and the least incompetent officials.

Our offensive play calling in the 4th quarter didn't help. Nor did butterfingers muffing that punt.

Harper was the #1 reason we lost, followed by the refs and injuries. Disgusted. Wanted 16-0 so bad but so long as were healthy for the playoffs, that's all that matters.

This post in no way is intended to be a knock on Ryan so much as it just illustrates a weird sports phenomenon. I said early in the fourth quarter after Ryan made yet another good play that he would finally give up a catch to D. Thomas in crunch time. That's exactly what happened. LOL Again, I don't blame Ryan so much as I've accepted that things like that just happen in sports, even to players better than Ryan.

I agree with the first part of the sentence but I didn't care about 16-0.

Better to have losses and win SB than lose it at 18-1. I only cared about undefeated for BB and Brady. Other than that, i don't care how they make the playoffs, just make it and get healthy for a 3 or 4 game run.

No he was not. Please stop with this nonsense

He wasn't? His play was the turning point of the entire game and the exact reason Belichick said don't even put a single ****ing guy back there later in the game.

The press box cheering when the Pats lost epitomizes so much of what's wrong with the press, and society in general envying success.

People suck.

I hope the broncos and bengals lose a game or two so pats have the luxury of resting players in last 2 weeks but dont think we will have much option but to play through all 16 weeks. And we have only 2 home games and 2 last are on the road thanks to kraft letting the stadium out for some other crap.

The Broncos will lose one or two. That offense will not go 5-0 in some pretty tough games.

The Bengals will be tougher, we need to hope for some help.
