New England at Denver AFCCG pre game thread.

[RobertWeathers]

Yup. It will be a night and day difference.

The offense is based on timing. 99% of the time Brady likes to get the ball out under 2.3 seconds. When the timing is off, everything goes to ****. The line, the routes...

Step 1.

Can somebody talk me down a little and give me a few reasons why I shouldn't be so confident about NE winning Sunday? I really have never felt better about this team in the AFCCG before, again aside from last year. It makes me uncomfortable feeling so confident

I'm sure that there are a number of scenarios in which the Pats could go down.

Meanwhile, let the hate flow....

I think it is more likely than not that the Patriots win on Sunday. However, I am nervous because I do not want to deal with all the Manning idolizers if the Broncos somehow pull it off.

No. I'm only slightly less confident about this game than before the Indy game. Pats won't blow em out as bad due to broncos defense, and they've got a few offensive playmakers. But it won't be close. Patriots will control this game and if the Pats get a few to's and avoid key injuries- it WILL be a blowout. That bring said, I think Pats win by 10-13.

Sure, why not?

1. High altitude sucks, and we're not used to it.
2. Brady is 2-6 in Denver.
3. NFL really wants Manning to go to another Super Bowl and win, because Father Time is now his roommate.
4. We got flagged like hell last time we were there, and it killed our drives several times.
5. Defenders are going to be aiming for Gronk's knees every chance they get.
6. We've rarely escaped a game without injuries this year.

Injuries on the Patriots defense could end up being a huge problem. The Broncos can cover and the Patriots OL still cannot block that well...run or pass block.

The Patriots had no weapons in the last game after Gronk went out...They had no Hightower or Collins.....The Patriots should win this game, but each game is its own beast and there is no guarantee that the Patriots will match the Broncos intensity or match their game plan...sure, that is unlikely, but you really can't know for sure. Turn overs happen too.....and they seem to happen much more often in Denver than anywhere else.

 

[rochrist]

thats why you sell out on those routes and force manning to beat you deep. Crowd guys close to the line of scrimmage. He cant hit those deep passes....the only deep passes he has thrown in the last 2 weeks sailed over the receivers head.

Because anything over ten yards he's having to put his entire body into the throw. He has no touch at all anymore. Look at how exaggerated his throwing motion has become.

7. Denver is 6-0 in games reffed by Ed Hoculli.

If the Broncos win, he WILL get thrashed in the SB.

 

[Tuck]

Are the Pats really going to go 2-13 on 3rd down again? No

Is Manning going to have a better game than Osweiler did vs NE? No

Its all about health. JE, DA, Collins, High, Gronk.

Always gets down to health at this time of year. How many blue chips you have and how well they can perform will determine the outcome.

Ed Hochuli is reffing the game and it's on the road. There you go.

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

I can just imagine shannon sharpe if the donkeys win. Difficult to win playoff games on the road. Team needs to bring it on sunday afternoon

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

If the Broncos win, he WILL get thrashed in the SB.

No doubt.

Brady needs to exercise his demons in denver ths sunday. Needs to play well.

Are his demons fat and out of shape or something?

I can guarantee that I'll be exercising my demons during the game
