Game Day Thread 2025 OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD: AFC CHAMPIONSHIP - NE @ DEN

[UGAPatsfan]

They are going to try and draw PI's like crazy. Specifically, targeting Davis early on. The DL needs to stop these long throws from happening.

Which is a tough ask against this Denver O-line. Pats ability to run, and ability to get pressure is the game

 

[Zoomnbyu]

We haven't faced a full compliment of sizable WR like Sutton, Bryant, Mims, Humphrey.
Our CB's are going to have to be disciplined.
If our Rush gives Stiddy 3sec, he's going to find guys open and sustain drives. That could get back.

What are you confident about the Pats?

I'm not saying the particular point is a dead horse just your posting the sky is falling on every post. We need a chicken little/sky is falling emoticon @Ian.

 

[Patjew]

If there is any game for the Pats to pull out a defensive wrinkle they haven’t shown all season, this is the one. Confuse the bright but inexperienced QB.

 

[Give Kraft A Hand]

Denver’s Run Game and Defense is going to be very difficult to control. I think they can win, but they’re going to have to do a lot better on the O-Line and Drake Maye is going to have to play the game of his life

shoveling sucks... been using my leafblower

It's turned crusty here. I need a metal shovel

 

[farn]

Hope he throws a pick six or two

We’re talking about a 29 year old backup who hasn’t thrown a pass in 700+ days and has one career win. A player who couldn’t beat out Cam, M Jones, a struggling R Wilson…

Correct ?

If they can't run...it's going to be a long day. Can't be dropping back 35 or 40 times. McDaniels needs to mix things up and come up with plays Denver probably has not seen.

I love competition where at least some of the outcome is within my control.

Other than what I wear and where I sit and what I eat and what I say, I have very little control over Pats games.

That’s part of the fun.

LFG!! Jump on top early. Assert reality about Stidham

 

[jdlboot14]

Stiddy is playing for a Matt Flynn deal. If he plays well, he could seriously be considered by a few teams to be a "prove-it/bridge" starter next year. I think he's going to be very aggressive and not fold like Herbert or Stroud.
Everyone seems way to confident today.

Prediction

Maye has big 1st half. Something like 15/18/225 and Patriots jump out to something like 21-3 lead.
Final a score 34-10

Weather is changing earlier than expected. I think it will snow before the half

I don't think Payton is going to hold back. They'll come out slinging it.

Ya, I'm nervous!! Everyone seems too confident as if this will be easy. So, I'm playing the other side for balance.

 

[Zoomnbyu]

****, 3-4 announcers all picked Pats. Kiss of death.

Maye does not have to play the game of his life. If he had to, we wouldn’t be favored. If he plays well we will play again in 2 weeks
