Official Broncos @ Pats POST-game thread

Hyperbole? Perhaps.

Where's the hyperbole? The guy is one of the best slot corners in the league, but has been ineffective on the outside over that same time span. I don't know the recent #s, but over the last few years his qb rating against inside vs outside was staggering. When Talib's injury forced him outside in the AFCCG last year, our season ended.

The health of our secondary - outside of the health of #13 & #87 - will be the biggest deciding factor in the fate of our SB chances.

I don't think Mark Harrison is going to play this year.

Other that Ginn's TD, Arrington gave up 1 catch for -1 yard against the Panthers. Not remotely awful.

True, that was a bad example. It's amazing how he can get torched by scrub WRs on the outside yet cover the best slot WRs in the league to near perfection.

Arrington's not "awful" on the outside, but he goes from top notch to mediocre if he leaves the slot.

Can I start a thread yet?

Sure, as long it's not one of those silly "Brady's back" threads.

Frankly can't argue though I'd like to see something to back that up. Can you quantify that? Eye test? Def much better in the nickel(?) cb role but beast and Arrington is what jumped out to me.

 

[mosey threetupu]

No but I'll start one for you. What's it about?

The Scrizz presents Mosey Threetupu and his in depth insight on...?

**** I already started it. Wouldve been a good name.

He is and can throw it over those mountains.

Watching the game here.

some of the Del Rio faces are priceless.

Why are people still listening to that high-pitched milk dud?

 

[nekromantique]

I've heard a lot of talks about Denver's injuries being big in this game. .. with no mention of how decimated our defense has become, and losing our backup RT, who had been filling in for our RT who is in IR.

Dennard did not play the whole game.

Talib did not play the entire game

Cannon missed much of the game.

not to mention the injuries prior, and the unknown surrounding Hightower.

Don?t write off Peyton Manning or the Broncos after New England loss | The MMQB with Peter King

 

[DaBruinz]

The punt issue is on Carter, not Welker. Carter was out of position because he was late to the block.

Wrong. Welker is the one who hung his guys out to dry by waiting so long to wave off the catch. If Welker had waved it off even a second earlier, it doesn't hit Carter.

Sorry Deus, but ask anyone who has returned punts and they'll tell you that it is the returner who is responsible for making that call early enough so his teammates (who aren't looking for the ball) can make sure they are out of the way.

THIS. This is the FIRE that has been missing from Brady. It's been far too long since we've seen THIS..

Brady has got this offense rolling. A Super Bowl win would be awesome to end this season. Words can't describe how good Tom is. We are so lucky he landed here.

Belichick has forgotten more about football than Welker or Faulk has ever learned. #nodisrespecttoweswelker #alldisrespecttomarshallfaulk

 

[DaBruinz]

No. The PR always has the authority to call dead ball. It's up to all of his other teammates to get the **** out of the way once he does that.

Troy Brown says you're wrong.

 

[DaBruinz]

No idea what this means, but, sounds funny:

Nick Underhill ‏@Nick_Underhill 5m
Talib: "someone missed that button at Wild Wings"

He's referring to a series of commercials for "Buffalo Wild Wings" (a restaurant) where fans want the game extended and someone behind the bar pushes a button and something "mysterious" happens that extends the game (like the sprinklers on the field turning on).

 

[DaBruinz]

Everyone on ST has to follow the PR's lead because he is the one looking up in the air at the ball, not them. If he calls dead ball, they must adjust accordingly. All Carter had to do was cut outside. Why did he cut back inside?

Did you actually watch the play? He was "cutting inside" because he was a half step late on the gunner who had already cut inside. If he "cut outside" he would have plowed through Welker.

Fact is that Welker is supposed to make that call PRIOR to his teammates getting that close.
