Official Doncos v Steelers game thread

It isn't like the Pats have never won in Denver with Brady and Belichick.

It took a freakish punt through the end zone and a last second drive after trailing the whole game.
My confidence is a little low at the moment...maybe the week of build up will help.

Peyton and the Broncos were flat for 3 quarters and the Steelers let them off the mat - literally fumbling the game away.

Great game. We're on to Denver.

Beat them there in '11.

Or in 2005 when they lost to Denver twice.

And the Colts in 2006

Why is the Afc game first next week? Ugh....

 

[PatsFanSince74]

2007 AFC Championship

Super Bowl 46

2012 AFC Championship

OK. I'll put you in the category of folks who've conceded the game and edit my post to add "typically."

Oh, I didn't realize we were counting Tim Tebow games.
In that case, have we ever travelled to Denver in the preseason?

why does that matter?

So wait. You want to talk about how Brady never wins there and then want to rule out one of his wins there? Solid logic.

Brady vs. Manning...2-2 in the playoffs against each other. Tie breaker in 7 days.

It's switches every year. Next year the afc has the late game.

Brady vs. Manning...2-2 in the playoffs against each other. Tie breaker in 7 days.

And the person playing at home has always won....

No. I did not say "Brady does not win there."
I think anyone who disagrees with the statement that Brady and the Patriots have their worst results in terms of performance or game outcome @Denver is delusional.
We have a lot of historical data to support that statement, don't we?

 

[PatsFanSince74]

Except to the Jets in 2010

OK. I edited it to say "typically," but I've never seen so many doomsayers.

Manning is a shadow of himself. He was saved by a fumble today.

I stand by my comment. I like the Pats chances against Denver in Denver better than I like their chances against Big Ben and Brown in Foxboro.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

 

[PittPatriot]

All that is about to change. Can't wait (just to get it over with).

That isn't the only time the Pats have won in Denver. In 2011, Pats won 41-23. But Brady and Belichick really hasn't played in Denver as many times as people seem to believe. It has been only been like 7 times and they are 2-5. Not a good record at all, but everyone has said why they lost this past time with half the starters out. Another one is in 2001 early in his starting career (October 28th). Also, the Pats played in Denver for the first time in four years this season.

But people are saying they don't want to go to Denver because of fluke things that have happened in games, but want to write off the win in 2003 because the fact that Belichick purposely gave up a safety rather than give the Broncos field position in a game the Pats were winning?

 

[PatsFanSince74]

OMG. Why are they even bothering to play the game? Let's just forfeit and let everybody hit their favorite golf courses.

I'm going to double down and say that I'd be more worried if Osweiler were starting.

Why would a Tim Tebow played in not count? He was a (foolish) first round draft pick.
