It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Can somebody talk me down a little and give me a few reasons why I shouldn't be so confident about NE winning Sunday? I really have never felt better about this team in the AFCCG before, again aside from last year. It makes me uncomfortable feeling so confident
This.Brady needs to exercise his demons in denver ths sunday. Needs to play well.
Anybody else getting crickets from friends/co-workers who are Broncos fans?
I've been subtly trying to provoke them into a cordial discussion but they are not biting.
In 2013 they were relentless
The pats should win easily. They should. But at Denver is a weird spot. The pats were in control 21-7 through the first three quarters with no lewis, they weren't using j. white, no amendola, no edleman, and lost gronk for ot. The o-line is healthy and played well vs the chiefs d-lime (albeit j. houston was banged up). Edleman and amendola are back and hopefully gronk stays healthy for the full game. Talib or harris might shut down amendola but theyll struggle to stop edleman since he's at a whole other level. Bill is smart so he'll have the defense crowd the middle of the field to force peyton to consistently throw outside the numbers even though Peyton struggles to throw with velocity on those type of throws. The broncos don't have a tight end like as good as julius thomas (vernon davis sucks now) that can present mismatch problems for the pats linebackers and safeties. They won't have the corners like butler and ryan off from the receivers the way pittsburgh did so as a result, peyton won't be able to consistently get away will wobbly slow passes as completions to the outside like he did against the squeelers.
3. NFL really wants Manning to go to another Super Bowl and win, because Father Time is now his roommate.
The o line was good. If they can do that along with brady getting the ball out of his hands quickly then I dont how Denver will stand a chance.I am still amazed that Dontari Poe wound up with zero tackles.
I've got a bunch of buddies at Time Warner Cable and Level3 out there and they are being waaaay to nice.I've only got one around here, thank god. He predicted we'd play each other again after the L we took in the regular season. No crickets with him. Can't get em to shut up.
Anyone else see the evidence of the "BSPN Excuse-making Machine" fully operational?

Statistics don't lie and that is why Denver wins this game, sorry NEDenver will win bc they stopped Brady in 2013. Sure, Brady didnt have Gronk or DA... But he had 3 better RB and a better OL.
Oh, and we stopped Brady that day with our JV defense... Sly and Malik were young backups then....
We didnt have Talib, Harris, Ward, or Stewart in the secondary... We didnt have Von Miller or D-Ware... Or Marshall... Or Smith... Or Walker... Or Roby... or Ray... Or Barrett.
Instead, we had Ayers and Phillips... Pot Roast... Mike Adams and Duke I. We had Tony Carter.
Look what we did to NE with that defense. All this talk anout NE getting Gronk for this game... Lol... Great... We got a brand new defense... Basically... Trevathon is the only player we had that day
Ridiculous.
The Pats actually finished the league with the most drops, if I'm not mistaken. Lol @ them cherry picking the "from weeks 9-17" stat. Did he even play during that time? Like 2 games at most?
Also, the Pats definitely had 6 drops against the Jets at Gillette this year (Edelman dropped a TD, most articles out there have LaFell dropping 5-6)
Osweiller buckles under pressure.
