Patriots @ Broncos - Game Thread

I now officially loathe Chris Harper.

Without the muffed punt, we have first down with a 21-7 lead with 12 min to go.

The game would have been over

Never want to hear patriots fans mention Chris Harper again. Had to deal with the overhype of that guy all week

**** guys, I hope we don't have to face this team again in the playoffs... they could end our season. What's their record again? Any chance they could knock us out for the #1 seed? Or are they NFC... maybe a Super Bowl 50 matchup?

Talking about the Officials, btw.

Why are you sure about that? From what I saw any first downs would've been called back and the Patriots would've punted.

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.

Well the bengals and broncos play each other so one of them is going to get a 3rd a loss. Pats can at most drop 1 more game and still have a bye. Thats all i care for -the bye. HFA will be awesome but bye is good enough if edelman/gronk/amendola and collins/high are back at full strength.

Broncos aren't even good. Patriots were missing so many players. No way we lose if we have edelman, dola, collins, and high. All those players should be back. Just stay healthy, get these key guys back, plus Gronk and we will be fine. Can't suffer anymore major injuries though.

Can't believe I bought a ****ing Chris Harper jersey.

Broncos? What team is that? Do we face them this year? Tonight on NBC I watched New England Patriots vs. Denver Referees... look forward to seeing this Patriots-Broncos match you speak of.

I always buy Pats jerseys of players with numbers in the teens. It usually works out great.

You can't be serious. Do they even sell those? Unless you got it off a Chinese bootleg website

Same here. Like #15 - Reggie Wayne

I think I have all the teens except 12. Still waiting to see how that one pans out.

Well, #12 technically isn't a "teen," so he doesn't count. I'm all about the teens

I still rock my #17 Chad Jackson, although I switched out the nameplate to Aaron Dobson a year or two ago.

Just think of the poor soul or two who actually did run out and purchase a Reggie Wayne jersey. You know they're out there somewhere.

This is very true... See? This game has me so upset I can't even think straight.

I hope the Patriots sign a running back to back the offense less predictable. It is dispointing to see Blount taking too long to hit the hole, white getting taken by the first tackler and bolden getting tackled behind the line of schrimage. Patriots basically can't pick up a first down be running the ball when the oppent knows that they are going to run.

Think you might be changing that nameplate again soon.

I just thought it'd be creepy as hell if I made the comment that "I'm all about the teens," and I was right. It looks just as ridiculous as I imagined when typed.

Uggghhh. The running game needs to pick up. It's looked bad.

I know that we've had good fortune lately when running the ball very few times, but the law of averages suggests that will not stay the same. I don't want to get into all of that because some won't agree, but they do need to establish the running game for sure.

Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that anyone can do that at the moment. Blount has had his share of problems against those tough defensive front kind of teams a little too often, and Bolden just isn't productive enough with as few carries as he gets. I'd be curious to see him just one game with 20 carries--good or bad.

White doesn't even appear to be a viable receiving option out of the backfield, let alone a capable running back, but that's just my opinion thus far. I haven't seen a damn thing to suggest otherwise, even though some were high on him with his game last week.

Remember the good days when we had Dion Lewis? I miss those days.
