Patriots Pregame Thread Pre-Game thread - 2025 AFC Championship at Denver Broncos

Wow. I just checked and we're supposed to get really minimal snow, but lots of wintry mix and freeze/melt/refreeze potential. But it'll be an ice event and I'm still not messing with it while I still have chips and avocado in the house.

Same. It’s supposed to turn to icy rain later, which should make the roads terrible. Good day to stay inside.

It’s kind of Portnoy’s job to be over the top and then hope everyone forgets his bold predictions that don’t come true.

Yes, he has had some Michigan doozies.

I'm sure that he is on the ground in Denver grading pizza. He sure has buddied up to Ann Maye.

Yeah I don't think Campbell will have too hard of a time. IMO, Campbell is basically a B+ or A- left tackle. He will have a difficult time against elite edge rushers, but how many of those are there in the game? Not that many. For 95% of his matchups in his career he will be fine. And for those times he has a harder matchup they can give him some help if needed. He will learn to be better at working with a chip as he gets more experience.

Campbell is ticked off.

He has received a lot of criticism for his play in the post season.

I still think his knee is hurt. It’s too bad he’s hurt. Pats will get through today, IMO. He will be fine going forward

 

[RobertWeathers]

We are winning this game.

I’ve been wondering the same thing! Not sure how it is in Mass but here in Pa they’re basically saying do not leave your house today

I was going to drive 9 hours to the game and be there when ticket cost come down.

Naturally, my main thing is get the W, in quadruple overtime by a safety if that's how we have to do it...

But it really would be nice to totally destroy Denver in their own house

If Maye can have a clean game, I can’t see how we lose this.

That's really the only way we lose.

Stiddy will make some throws but do we really see DEN scoring more than 20 points? God no. I don't see them running the ball down our throats either so it'll be up to him to win it.

I think asking a QB to start for the first time in a couple of years let alone win it in the biggest game of the year vs a very good defense is a lot to ask of someone.

Trust in Moses.

Stiddy is probably going to play a lot better than people anticipate.

I think he'll play ok. He'll make some throws, but will make some mistakes....

Denvers plan is to obviously wear the Pats out, keep it close and win the game in the 4th quarter.

I notice that Payton brought up more WRs.

Imagine a world where you need to ask AI to provide you with a cognitive response to another human. While lacking any deductive reasoning. Scary.

Another Novel.
Thanks for giving me another Block

Guess it won't matter because you blocked me but...

Win, by one point or a dozen, and get out healthy for the two week bye.

I hope Csmpbell is wearing the BB leg braces now. Don’t know if they help him hold an anchor point for bull rushers, but at least will protect him from those small incidental hit twists/tweaks, which was what got him this time/year.
