I LOVE waking up to this!!! Denver hate already, complete with pre-scuse!
Dude how can you write off Stidham like that and make him take the hit for your team before he even sets foot on the field?!?! We didn't give up on Tommy in 2001, we reveled in doing it w/TFB!
NEXT MAN UP, or doesn't your team play in the NFL? Are you in a flag football league or something, or some magical football land where your favorite player is injury proof?
In 2008 Brady went down and we went 11-5. You think losing what's his name? Bo Nix? You think that's some season-ending defining moment? Then your team's not a team, not by Patriots standards.
Stidham knows all about that lore - don't you think this is, in his mind, the moment his whole life has been leading to?
I HOPE that Vrabel can get across the power of that narrative to the Pats, how motivating it can be. I am glad Denver fans can't see past their overhyped wunderkind to root for their actual QB. Look, half the guys on here can throw a 50-yard spiral in Mile High. Okay, slight exaggeration. But point is, he's been playing there all year (granted, on the sidelines, but still.)
Your guys know altitude. Buck up, lil Broncoroo! There are so many narratives to raise your hopes around!!!
But don't try to peddle a pre-scuse and troll us at the same time, ya swastika-airport-havin', oxygen-deprived, altitude-delulu, bucktooth john-elway lookin', cocaine-horse logo wearin', Rocky Mountain Oyster slurpin BeDonkeBronc.
Pick a lane, "Wah!!! We couldn't win, one guy was hurt!!!" or "You can't beat us you're crappy," not both.
We're the best, you're the rest; admit it to yourself. You'll have an easier time sleeping for the next 20 years or so.
This feels so good. We needed that 5-year rest!
