Official Broncos @ Pats POST-game thread

Can someone find the stat on how many teams have won games where their defense surrendered 200+ yards rushing? It can't be a winning record.

If you want to factor that in addition to being down 24-0 after the first half, I can easily tell you that the number is zero (up until tonight).

Michael IRvin of people is saying manning played bad in the cold and he cant throw in the cold and he chickened out and handed the ball.

I don't know if he chickened out. As Troy and Ty were pointing out, when Peyton sees that coverage, he runs the ball. It's who he is, so I can't say that he went chicken. I do think I can say that I saw a guy who can't rely on his arm the way he used to. I hope that day doesn't come for Brady anytime soon.

I love the idea that we just witnessed , as current fans, one of the greatest games in the history of the NFL. By the 2 of the greatest. And we came out on top. Dam, I cant even get to sleep. The heck with work, I'm basking in this. Am I going overboard?

Jets lose
Dolphins lose
Colts lose
Giants lose
Broncos lose
Pats win


Could Sunday have gotten any better?

I really don't think so. Maybe shutting Welker out, but I'll take the four insignificant catches and a possible error in the punt game any day.

Yeah but faulk doesnt seem to want to admit it. Irvin even said , that if you want to be known as the the greatest ever you cant do this.

Unsportsmanlike Conduct On Brady?

Game was fixed. Broncos robbed.

Of course it was. Marvin the Martian could see it was a penalty against Jammer. Hell, Helen Keller would have seen it was a penalty against Jammer. The only people who didn't see the penalty were Broncos fans and the officials.

KC lost. Which is pretty bad.

We want them to win, so we would get Home Field vs. Broncos if we play them in the playoffs.

I am still waiting to see how ESPN tries to spin it that tonight was proof that Manning hasn't lost anything on his fast ball and how his throws are just as crisp as they were when he was 30.

 

[Ozymandias]

Michael Irvin on Rob Gronkowski: "Imposing his will on these CHUMPS!"

And that right there, folks, sums up the second half succinctly. The Patriots imposed their will on those chumps in second half and OT. Score 34-7 in 2H/OT.

 

[Froob]

Is Gruden going to mention the niners or the redskins even once tomorrow night? He'll probably do an entire recap of every play from last night.

 

[Ring 6]

Was Dobson injured?

KC lost. Which is pretty bad.

Better for the Pats' chances of getting the #1 seed, if anybody cares about that. Would need Chiefs to win next week and Broncos to lose one other, plus the Pats winning out.

From the game thread:

 

[manxman2601]

Does anyone know why Sopoaga got so few snaps? The Broncos were running the ball down our throat and it wasn't like Jones and Vellano we're doing much when they were passing.

 

[Rob0729]

KC lost. Which is pretty bad.

No. KC losing today was good for the Pats. It puts them within a game of them for homefield. We probably want them to win next week though because they are more likely to lose one or two more games down the stretch than Denver.

 

[SVN]

Question to manning - "Were you surprised they elected to kickoff in OT?"
Manning -"No"
Why ?
Manning
"Thats what they do sometimes"

 

[RIpats88]

The broncos could easily lose two in a row...a tough game next week in Kansas City..I expect KC to play better at home after losing twice

 

[Deus Irae]

It's too bad that the Chiefs could be without both Hali and Houston next week. I'd have loved to see them get a full-strength chance at home against the Broncos after this game.
