Patriots Pregame Thread Week 16 pregame thread: Pats @ Broncos

[archstanton543]

It's a warning for all fans.

They don't let us have guns up here...except in NH, maybe.

Denver is in the Playoffs hunt meaningful game for them can't see Payton loing this one what that Roster. 17 Points gets Denver this game.

Kind of off topic to this game but it was awesome Brady came home and told the world he will always be a Patriot. That was the high point of this season LOL.

Compare that to Peyton Manning seems he considers himself a Denver Bronco and not a Colt. Ouch.

Pats house of horrors. They are 5-7 there since 2000. It will be a tough game.

With how things have gone, this new team will be the best Mile High squad we've ever had for absolutely no reason.

Big addition to this Broncos defense.

Kareem Jackson can return to Broncos after four-game suspension

Hunter Henry (knee) & Connor McDermott (concussion protocol) both popped up on the injury list this week...

Who is coming out for the big game?
I'm dragging my wife to this one.
Christmas Eve!

You hate her that much?

If the Panthers miraculously win another game or 2 who wins the tie breaker between Panthers and Pats?

Didn't know Elway has no affiliation with the Broncos anymore. I know he stepped down as their GM but I thought he was still employed by them.

They should have changed his oat bag I guess.

If Ryland can't make kicks in the high altitude he might as well just stay in Denver and not get on the plane back.

Refs in makeup mode overinflate the kicking balls and Ryland sends one out of the stadium too high to estimate if it was good or not. BB goes on a tyrade about extending the posts.

Comes down to strength of schedule, II is currently .517 Carolina and .519 Patriots, the weaker schedule drafts first so now is Carolina.
the division games count as 2 games and Carolina has a weak division and have to win a game which weakens the SOS by itself, so odds favor Carolina but depends on so many other games right now hard to say for sure.

Can't wait. Hoping for some snow. What should I serve pre-game at the house prior to heading down?

I just heard a weather stat that I didn't realize. The city of Boston has more precipitation than Denver.

Boston winters are generally much more harsh than Denver's.

Just for fun they should start Rourke

Poor Zapper losing his Best Target.

 

[Pape]

Poor Zapper losing his Best Target.

I would prefer to have him playing as well... outside of Rham, he is the best offensive player on the field

and while I fully understand the implications of another win this season, I at the very least want to see a competitive game Sunday night... though, I will be at a party, and probably won't get to watch much, if any, of the game...

 

[Hyped]

I am afraid that the Broncos will blow this game and ruin my X-mas eve...

I just want them to score in the low 20's and shut out the Pats offense in the 2nd half en eoute to a quick 20-17 type of win where the 2nd half goes by quickly...

Without Henry zappe has nowhere to throw. Broncos should blow past us.

 

[denverpatsfan]

Snow in the forecast.
Who's coming out?
Drinks and food at my house before we head down on Sunday.

Our D is capable of winning this game all on their own though...love those guys, but hoping for no Bronco turnovers.
