I'm not religious and I think it's actually a very classy thing to do... Hard fought game. You put it aside and share your belief with your fellows.

I am super unreligious (that might surprise some of you) and even I see no problem with it. That poster has never been more than awful IMO.

So the Pats faced a defense that was being compared to the '85 Bears and '00 Ravens defenses all week and the offense still put up 21 points on them despite turning the ball over 3 times. Don't think we are giving them enough credit for that.

Denver's defense is also good, but not as good, and they played pretty poorly last week. If NE can score 24+ I don't think Stidham will be able to keep pace against the Pats defense, especially with his limited offensive weaponry.

Defense carrying offense for the second time in two weeks.

Offense better wake up.

I thought the Oline was actually good. Maye decision making was suspect in first 2 quarters.

We had two unbelievable catches by Boutte and diggs to get those TDs .

Rham is unstoppable. Henderson has become an afterthought in playoffs. No wonder Vrabel stated the team needs rham. No one can do what he does. He is a stud and probably the MVP of offense in playoffs.

I hope we get a clean weather next week in Denver .

And Drake better buy a beer for Campbell. 2 of his fumbles were recovered by Campbell.

Offense had 3 TD drives in 3 Quarters. Then played clock management
A TD per quarter wins football games.

have you ever been to Buffalo? Let me explain something to you. Buffalo isn't a city, it's the manhole cover for hell. Their teams will never win. Sure they get close, but each time the devil reaches up from that manhole and snatches it away from them.

wide right
music city miracle
13 second meltdown
Cooks can't hang onto the ball
Brett Hull skate in the crease.....

Gary thats ****in awesome lol

That **** was titillating. I want more.

The key word in ‘ugly win’ is - and will always be - win. That 2019 SB wasn’t beautiful to watch. But NE is and will always be 2018 season champs.

Maybe you could get @GreenCow to service you.. He's got his pie hole open... LOL

So glad we can get Hollins back for next game. He seemed to really help Maye and this offense stay on schedule when he was out there, not to mention the infectious energy he would bring

Shultz out and then the Texans RT out.

For me the one time I dipped my toe into that arena it was like an endurance contest. Dude I was topping @ Steve's in Reno while standing (he was on his back lying on the bed, legs up) would punch me and it was kind of fun to see how much punishment I could take. Spent like 2 weeks with a black and blue torso.

Oh what - you wanted a joke answer? TOO ****ING BAD THIS IS WHAT HAPPEN WHEN IAN RUINS MY DUMB JOKE THREAD BY BEING POLITE AND HELPFUL. YOU GUYS CREATED THIS WORLD NOW LIVE IN IT.

Thanks, that's helpful

4 Fumbles, 2 lost, and an Interception. He damn well shouldn't be happy.

An interception? that doesn’t count.
One of the fumbles was on Campbell
Others on Drake,
I think he needs to spend the entire off season learning how hold the ball tighter to him when pressured but he will work on it
Despite all that over 100 passer rating and without Hail Mary it is over 120. He has time to throw no defense can stop him for long.
Also tough elements today,

DaBruinz · Jan 18, 2026

I hope that Vrabel has them on a Flight to Denver tomorrow so they can start acclimating to the higher elevation..

I didn't think my day could get any better. I forgot and now I'm basking in another bourbon and this thought.

I agree, I think it’s gonna be a high scoring game, but it’s gonna be hard for Denver to keep up.

Need Drake to protect the ball better if it’s going to be high scoring. Stidham didn’t react well to pressure, defense needs to bring it.
