Haven't played Madden since about 2003 and even then it was getting too complicated for me. I can't even begin to fathom what it must be like now. Thus, i will be going ice fishing instead.

Run defense. Can they slow it down? Need to quiet that crowd early as well.

Day's already here, huh? I hope I'm celebrating another trip to the SB for the Pats later today.

Go Pats!

Gonna see what type of defensive scheme they will run early. Press those wrs. 3rd down defense has to be better

Last year was my first year playing Madden since 2007 (Vince Youg was on the cover for some perspective) and you don't need to go in depth on the controls to have a good time.

I don't know why but this is the first playoff game in a long time that I had a hard time getting to sleep for last night. I even found myself awake at 6:30 this morning, luckily I was able to get back to sleep for an hour.

Biggest concern which is very realistic is that the donkos get alot of pressure and hits on Brady early and often. Because our OL is dealing with alot of injuries (Tre Jackson being the latest) and has been playing shaky most of the year......if the donks use the recipe used by the Gints and jests and give him no time and knock him around evenafter play is over.....going to be a tough outing for pats. Hightower being limited is a major concern as well...as obviously the only way donks move the ball effectively will be the running game .....with some short manning ducks here and there. If we can shut down their running game and have OL give Brady time....and open up enough holes for Jackson to pound out some yards......pats win. Going to be very tough game I believe......GO PATS!!!!!

Talk about the same things and put up over 300+ posts in here before the game starts?

Just listening to the NFL network a bit (passively/in the background) and it seems to be a bit skewed in its reporting. Picks are going the Patriots way but it seems most reports on how the Broncos will be successful or excuse making that Peyton did his job, but his receivers let him down with drops.

didn't the Patriots WRs have just 1 less drop than PM last week?

CI CREDO...I BELIEVE...
GO PATS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NFL network.." Peyton has his footwork back. It's not about his arm strength, it's about his accuracy". As a U of Tennessee fan here, I can tell you he's always had footwork. It's called " happy feet"
