Denver vs NE post game thread

[BobDigital]

I think BB is holding back Tim Wright for late in the season. Something tells me we will see forehead and Co. again and we will pull out all the stops with more emphasis on the two TE set. Just my gut....

BB held nothing back this game. Wright may get better and make a bigger impact but it was clear to me the Patriots opened their playbook and went all out in all 3 phases.

A great statement win right as we head into the bye. Also, because it's only their second loss, 22 points is the largest amount of points Denver trailed this season and lost as a result of it.

Don't recall one time during the telecast that Simms/Nantz mentioned anything positive about the Pats, such as the Pats were better, Pat D better than expected, Pats D playing well, Brady is good, Pats favored to win the AFC, etc, etc. They were quite silent about the quality of the Pats team.

Guys is this offense approaching 07 level? Since KC, they are averaging more points per game than the 07 pats did.

Watching Peyton on the post game press conference. He looks beaten and angry. Man, I love it!!!

 

[Triumph]

HUH??? The Pats were putting tons of pressure on Manning.. Just because they weren't getting sacks doesn't mean they weren't putting pressure on him. They were. Seriously, People. You need to wake up about what pass rushing is all about. It's NOT just about sacks. There is more to it.

BTW, since you missed it, the Pats have 13 sacks in the last 4 games. But, yeah, their pass rush is bad.

The Denver OL was holding like MFers.

NE had pressure.

Butler did fine, but he's not Dennard. Sanders was killing this team all night.

Sanders got most of his yards before Butler got matched up with him, unless I'm still in a post orgasmic haze from that game and remembering it all wrong.

Can't wait to hear their rationale for Broncos going 0-4 on 4th down.

in 1 game, Denver went from firstin the league on4th down to last......
from 1-1 to 1-5 (20%)

 

[Anteros]

Right in front of........TJ Ward

I love how we got him the TD on the very next play, too. Well deserved.

That catch was insane, nearly defying the laws of physics. It's almost unfair. Almost.

Guys can we talk about the Patriots cap management?

d%#*!@t man, just when I thought nothing could outdo the Caserio stare of your avatar, this guy comes along.

Great win. Wasn't the gap supposed to be so wide? Was Manning supposed to be unstoppable? Wasn't their defense supposed to be better than our defense? That's why they play the games, I guess.

"Cinci line is scary"
"Buffalo line is very scary"
"Jests line could be the best in the league"
"Chicago's pass rush could cause some problems"
"Denver's line is the very best in the league"

Newsflash: This isn't the O-line that started the first 4 games.

I don't think there's any doubt Brady is in first for MVP voting as of now. What I've always laughed about, even before Manning was on the Broncos, was how personal Pats fans take Peyton's success. Who cares who some people consider better than the other? Everyone has Brady as, at worst, a top 5 QB all time, and every single one of you know you'd prefer those 3 SB rings to any of Peyton's records. At least I know I would.

They're two of the best QBs ever.

 

[Halifax_Pats_Fan]

Anyone got a picture of the "expert" picks which mostly had the Broncos?

suck on that.....time for you 'experts' to WAKEY WAKEY!!!!

 

[Mcp1982]

not to be a "debbie downer" but that felt like beating the broncos on "all rookie" mode in madden...they must have held plays back, right?

 

[farn]

Gronk : what else can you say ? Game changer is almost too soft a term....

 

[PatsBoy12]

For all the talk of the Broncos offense, NE is the highest scoring team in the NFL. LOL After the first three games? After KC? LOL

 

[PP2]

If Gronk stays healthy and Jones gets healthy this is the best team in the NFL. What a remarkable turnaround from the first few weeks of the season. Tons of credit to the OL.

More to the point, major kudos to Stork for neutralizing the Pot Roast. Huge change from last time when Wendell was being beat so bad I was expecting him to file for a restraining order.

 

[Guts]

Don't know why they use the wind as an excuse that they lost both teams and QBs had to play with that it's just like the crowd chanted Brady's Better
