I'm told Broncos don't plan on shadowing any Patriots WRs today. As a unit decided it doesn't play to their strengths as a secondary.

I guess that means they'll all stay on their side and cover who is there; although it's worded like they won't bother covering at all

The way that's worded, it sounds like the secondary itself decided how it will play. Maybe I am misinformed, but shouldn't the coaching staff be the ones deciding how the secondary will line up?

Give me 10 positive plays from Lafell, Martin, and White (Chandler???) and the Pats are going to be VERY tough to beat today. Go Pats!!!

Broncos CB Chris Harris won't need surgery on his shoulder, but he struggles to brush his teeth & play with his 2-yr old. Weakness & pain.

He should wash his mouth with soap while he's at it too

The Wire marathon.

greetings from the future

pats won

The wait is killing me

For some reason, I'm not as nervous today as I was last week against KC...that may change once game time gets closer though lol

somebody should test Harris's shoulder..early and often.

I think I am more nervous just because I cannot tolerate the thought of losing to Mr. HGH. I wouldn't even watch the SB.

Bubble screen. Good way to see if he can block? If he can't block, he probably can't tackle well?

No reason to believe anything which is being put out there.

I doubt broncos or pats are telexing their game plan ideas. These tv media guys have so much free airtime to fill. Even if they play as said here, no reason to think they wont change if it doesn't work.

Gotta get over this Denver hump. Break the drought!

Oh, and like I said last week, DEFEND THE CHAMPIONSHIP!

Finally, didn't think sunday would ever come! Glad our game is first.

BTW chatham thinks this is a good idea

How many trick plays from Pats today? I think two.

Best way to attack that is to go deep
Have White in the flat
Move Edelman around have him in the backfield at times.
RUN THE BALL

What time is starting to drink beer acceptable today?

I'd say definitely one, and hope it goes for a TD

1 trick play - a fake punt or Flea Flicker.
