***Official AFCCG Gameday Thread: Patriots v. Broncos

Mike Reiss ‏@MikeReiss 1m1 minute ago
After 2 offensive drives stall, let's see if the Patriots alter their approach and go to more 3-WR groupings to work against Denver nickel.

huge play

screw Hochuli and crew..................that one play tells me everything I need to now about how this will end

Could have been a PI against the Pats there...just saying, he was turned back to QB and got his hand on receivers body before the ball got there.

have to find a way to get pressure on manning..he can't get comfortable and confident

Three and out on Denver.
Nice return by Amendola.
Good starting field position.
Now, score a TD and take back the game.
This team is mentally tough, they got this.

Our front seven is really good.

Should've been another 15 w/cheap shot to Slater's face at the end there.

If the Pats stop the run like that all game and we make manning get 90% of the yards needed to beat us that is probably what BB wants. Hopefully Manning's first drive is the best he plays all game.

Gronk will get mugged all day

Indeed.

That was a good run, surprised hochuli didn't give him a flag. Can't let the Patriots get momentum.

Nice return by Amendola. The offense has to capitalize on the field position.

I get it now. Goodell's marching orders to Hochuli and crew: let the Broncos mug Patriot receivers.

Look, everyone knows it's not a written memo, it's not on tape it's not a policy. But it's a wink, a nod, an understanding of what needs to get done. The referees know who to please and more importantly who is their boss.

They have to start running the ball more IMO

Dola giving the O a jump start

ok...it worked when i just posted it for the defense.....so offense needs to make up for those 1st 2 drives on this drive...or I might cry! LOL

Cry? So your avatar is actually a selfie and not a pic of your WAG?

I see that the refs are already ignoring Ward holding Gronkowski, yet they called PI on Ryan for the same thing..

Simms: "you're allowed to do that within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage… "

Says this about a play 10 yards downfield

Patriots set to open their next drive in 3-WR package with Brandon LaFell, Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola.

Williams our 300 pound tight end lining up wide? No LaFell or Martin? Brady looking at only Gronk and Edelman? For this team to win someone else has to step up big. Brady needs to spread it our now. He's playing into their defense
