It's easy, and only takes a few moments.It's amazing how people are still disrespecting the Denver D-line and LBers by putting all the blame on the Pats O-line being "hot garbage". Hello, people. Denver had the best Defense in the league. Not to mention All-Pro Von Miller. They will make most O-lines look like "hot garbage" unless the O-line is given help. Cannon is what he is. A reserve OT who can come in for an injury, but should never be the starter without help.
I am disappointed that BB and McDaniels pulled an Andy Reid and didn't give Vollmer and Cannon almost any help from the TEs. I'd have had Mike Williams out there mirroring Von Miller every down just to ensure he was doubled. That would almost ensure Brady would have the time needed to hit Edelman, Gronk, Amendola or Martin. That didn't happen and we saw the results.
I have no issue with the pats not going for the FGs twice. Manning could have easily run the clock out on them either time. As it happened, our D stepped up greatly.
Good...get that L out of the way eaerly...Little far ahead, but my guess is that if Denver wins it all we will face them on opening night next season.
Lack of personnel at certain positions caught up with us. We are deficient at running back. Injuries will happen at RB every year and we do not have quality depth. There is a need to run the ball occasionally or else you turn into the Chargers. It would be nice to have a feature back. Blount was as close to it as we can get. Lewis was fine as 3rd down back but was asked to do everything and injuries happen. White is a step down from Lewis / Woodhead and Vereen, (who was really developing as a good back in our system, too bad the money did not work out).
Would like to explore some of these back - no idea on contract etc. I think any of these would be helpful.
Carey, Ka'Deem
Foster, Arian
Mason, Tre
Mathews, Ryan
Miller, Lamar
Robinson, Denard
Sims, Charles
Powell, Bilal 3rd ++
Vereen, Shane 3rd ++
Woodhead, Danny 3rd +
Barner, Kenjon 3rd down
Need better 2nd round picks – no DB’s on 2nd round TAVON ETC. Would love to see David Johnson in FedEx uni.
No speed at WR -
Defense has talent – Collins pass rushing terror, please let him get after the QB more often. He is a great athlete but I think his coverage is not good enough to leave him one on one.
Offensive line - Can't judge because of injuries. Guards playing Tackle / Centers playing all over.
I can't believe I'm saying this - except for the secondary the defensive personnel looks good.
Hightower and Collins are the real deal.
He wasn't great, but damn he couldn't do anything behind that line. Broncos played great coverage, and Brady was running for his life the entire game.I would just like to add that, Tom Brady really sucked today. Seriously, he stunk!!! (By tb standards of course)

Hate to say it, but that may go down as the last one for Brady/Belichick. So we have to be thankful for 2014. I don't know, kinda crushed right now so maybe not thinking right. I always say I rather lose the AFCCG instead of the SB, but this one really stings. This season kinda reminds me of 2002 (though we didn't make the playoffs), defending SB champs, season started out like gangbusters, crushing everyone, then the injuries hit.
I don't know, the way Carolina is playing, I think they would've crushed the Pats anyway. They will crush the Broncos, regardless of the Broncos defense.
I don't like to use injuries as an excuse, but we only had 2 of our starting Olinemen from last year's SB starting today, plus a lot of walking wounded. I really felt the first half of the season healthy Pats could've beaten anyone, including the Panthers. Most injured team in the league, it's a miracle they were 3 points away from going to back to back SBs. Bad coaching today didn't help either.
Man, I feel it was bad karma watching all of those Videos of Seattle fans being crushed on the Butler INT, maybe the football gods are paying me back.
He had happy feet and felt ghost pressure. All of course making your point. But, I just thought he looked real poor. He held it allot. Gotta see the all 22, to know if it was all covered. But man he just looked crappy all day. JMD didn't do him any favors. But there were a few times where they just needed to manufacture some yards. JMD just kept going back to the well. He never attacked the fuel horizontally. But, not a great performance by Brady.He wasn't great, but damn he couldn't do anything behind that line. Broncos played great coverage, and Brady was running for his life the entire game.

I will co sign on that.... Even Allen kinda stunk....Yeah he definitely sucked. Alot of that had to do with the oline but he surely deserves some blame too. Quite honestly I think just about everyone sucked except the defense and gronk.
Completely agree. Don't understand how this has so many disagree's. Everyone must have short memories from last years Super Bowl where Vereen caught something crazy like eleven balls to keep the chains moving against another defense with a fierce pass rush. Lewis was much more elusive than White was this year.I don't know if this is correct at all, but my gut reaction:
White vs. Dion was the difference between SB champs and not
I haven't seen him hit that much in a playoff game since the infamous 42 game. He got leveled all game long.I would just like to add that, Tom Brady really sucked today. Seriously, he stunk!!! (By tb standards of course)
