I just realized that the Pats have not lose this year when I had at least one beer before or during the game. So I just opened up a nice 11% alc Trappist ale I've been saving.

You're welcome!

Does anyone know how to stream the Patriots home radio broadcast online so those of us in California don't have to listen to the tortured musings of Simms and Peyton ball-washing by Nantz?

Zolak said he watched manning throw about 21 warmup passes and he looked bad

Zolak's words should be taken with a grain of salt. He is homer of course.

All week Ive been trying to temper my excitement but I really think if he is crapping the bed Kubiak will pull him.

His legs are done. His feet are done. His arm is done.

...and today is urge to play football again will be sucked from his soul.

How is this different from the hundreds of other passes he has thrown this year?

I am amped up -- wish I was in Denver. I have this odd compulsion of standing in my living room in front of the TV during playoff games. I don't think I sat at all the fourth quarter of last year's Super Bowl. Anybody else do this? Just like playoff games in Gillette, everyone stands, no one sits.

I don't sit down during SB's. I sit during commercials in playoff games, except for the Ravens and Colts back in the day.

I was hoping Grissom would be active.

i mentioned this in another post, but Osweiller has a torn MCL. The broncos will likely go to trevor semian if manning is hurt. i don't see them pulling him.

Todd Bradley said:

Wow, Kevin Snyder is active over Bostic.

Talk about a trade that just didn't pan out....for the moment at least.

Still basically free anyways, looking like he probably won't be here for training camp. Oh well was worth a shot.

1 more hour !!

Snyder over Bostic huh. Interesting. Wonder what Snyder will do today, if anything.

Depends what kind of passing game they will call vs what is in the warmup throws. He can still make the short/intermediate throws and throw before the WR's break. Unless they in 3rd and longs a lot, they will probably only rely on that.Manning's adv is that he isnt calling the plays contrary to what people thing.He is just running kubiak's offense with ability to change at the LOS. This might benefit him. His own brain has been a detriment to him sometimes in the past.

Whelp, both teams play on the same grass. Didn't BB freeze over the grass once before a playoff game vs the Colts? If they wanted good conditions they shouldn't have given away the #1 seed with a bow on top. Still real confident they win this game.

I'm hoping Ryan rediscovers his inner ball hawk and picks Manning off once or twice. We know there will be at least a few ducks just waiting to be taken away.
