Great Article for anyone who thinks the Broncos caused all five turnovers...

[CheerforTom]

I'm not claiming Denver didn't deserve to win (PLEASE don't start an argument about that again, that horse has been beaten to death six times over). I have always maintained though that the Patriots played a better game overall and were the better team. They just shot themselves in the foot with all the giveaways, and Denver capitalized.

Anyway, please don't flame me, just read the article.

Enjoy :rocker:


Also interesting:

The Broncos recovered, setting the stage for the worst pass interference call in the history of the NFL playoffs by an out-of-position back judge who threw his flag about three seconds after the play was over, even though the official right on top of the play had correctly kept his flag in his pocket. It was the equivalent of a third base umpire running across the diamond to overrule a first base ump on an obvious call. The call pretty much awarded the Broncos the first touchdown of the game. (As bad as New England's five turnovers were, they weren't as bad as this call.)

UNbelievable.

Even now, 3 days after the debacle, I still find the events UNbelievable.

It's all a matter of taking advantage of turnovers. Whether they were forced or otherwise. The Broncos did just that. They also committed alot fewer errors. It's pretty much that simple. Unless you want to dig the refs up but like I've said, I feel we've had our fair share of ref support in the past so it would be hypocritical for me to stand here and complain about them.

I believe that is Bill Simmons' friend to whom he frequently refers as "my buddy Hench." A homer no doubt, but still he is right, not that it changes anything.
