We're onto Denver

[Guts]

Good thing the Broncos offense is not as explosive as 2 years ago heck even a year ago. This game cab be another Buffalo type of game except I see the Patriots winning with ease I think Denver doesn't score more than 14.

I am actually concern about our ability to move the ball against them on the road. I really didn't like what i saw against the bills at home.

But the Chiefs found a way in mile high....

It's called "Peyton Manning."

Who is the one player on DEN that scares you...Miller?

How could you not be concerned? At the same time, how often has the team had an issue persist for the entire season, particularly on the OL? How likely is it that this will be the time it does?

Ward....only because he is a dirty player and will take anyone's knees out...I expect him to go after Gronk.

Tonight on CSN...shaughnessy - "This (patriots) is the worst 10-0 team in history"

And DeOssie's not buying that the pats have a championship caliber

defense...

Shaughnessy and DeOssie equals...



...dumb and dumber.

He's my #2....well VERY close to #1

I know this won't be popular and will probably get screamed at by the military wing of Patsfans, but it they were offered the option of just not showing up and taking an L, effectively trading a bye for a loss, I'd take it. I don't like Amendola, Collins, and the O Linemen traveling on a short week into the thin atmosphere and playing a very tough game. All I care about is a first round bye and health.

Its not like they are in the exosphere and need space suits. They need to hydrate a ton a few days in advance and they'll be fine.

Yeah, and why should we be worried about the OL travelling? I'm a bit lost on that one...

Hydration is absolutely key, we drink a lot of water everyday here, well at last my family and friends do, if you don't you'll know it fast. Some folks are affected by the altitude and others are not, those that are can have debilitating issues. Sometimes it's all strategy, arrive as late as possible or spend a couple days here but it is all subjective.

One thing I don't bye is the sideline O2, not sure there is any proof that helps at all. I've read it is a placebo and read that it helps. Who knows.

I wonder if you could go a 3 te sets and keep gronk just as a blocker and away from Ward?

I've done a few ski trips out west and while I'm not a football player, hydration is KEY

What does this mean, that supposedly the oxygen in the water supplements the diminished oxygen in the air? That sounds like complete ******** to me.

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

Brady has had a tough time in denver. Would love to see him have a good game and that depends on the o line and what he has available.

This is a huge game. They win this game and it allows for some breathing room down the stretch. If they lose then the donkeys have a shot at that top seed. Still alive for it.

It is ********

 

[oldrover]

Maybe not.

High Altitude and Dehydration

No, not what meant at all. It's about the use of O2 (masks) on the sideline, nothing about water. Does it help or not. There are folks on both sides of the argument, studies etc. that say it might help or might not. At least at sea level or even at 5k feet. I personally have used it during heavy exercise as an experiment with a group of folks and can say for me there was no benefit. Granted if your subject to low O2 levels, below 90 for example it would certainly help. But a healthy athlete? like I said there are folks that know this much better than me that have very different opinions on it.


Oh and separate from what's above, water intake here in Denver is a key to dehydration prevention, that's fact.
