Patsfans-Broncosfans Peaceful Discussion Thread

[zippo59]

I noticed that there a quite a few Denver fan lurkers on this board, so I thought I'd set up a thread were the fans of the two teams can reasonably, intelligently, and somewhat peacefully discuss the upcoming game. Please no trollery. Denver fans feel free to post any of your thoughts.

I heard the same thing about Trevor Pryce, I'd love some clarification.

I truly believe our Pats will play great on Sunday, whether it's good enough to win, I don't know. There is a lot to fear as far as the Broncos, like our Tom Brady, I don't expect Plummer to have a 3rd bad game in a row. Like our 2 headed monster, the Bell's give the Broncos a great running game (so far the Pats are the #3 rushing team and the Broncos are #4 in the NFL). This is the first good running team the Pats defense will play this year.

Coaching wise, Shanahan is Bellichick's kryponite. Not many coaches get the best of ol' Belichick. Home field advantage may be the difference in the game. It should be a great game, I think the Pats will eek one out (again), but would not be shocked by a Broncos victory. In fact, I wouldn't be totally crushed if we lose a good hard fought game. At least the loss would come against a good team. I don't expect us to go 16-0, but I would love for the Pats to win a good hard fought game against the Broncos.

The Bills are a pretty good running team.

This is a game that has been marked on everyones calender from Kraft all the way down to the Practice Squad players.

This is the game that ruined the Patriots 3rd straight Super Bowl run.

This is a revenge game in every sense of the word.

Patriots pull out a victory in this one.

If it were in Denver i think Denver would take it.

I don't think that BB will want the team to think about this game as a revenge game.......but I don't think that'll stop some Pats from thinking revenge. I think Brady either has a great game, or a terrible game, nothing in between.

Every extra week Brady has with his new receivers is a better week for the team.

Every extra week Brady has with his new receivers is a better week for the team.

And every week we can manage to pull off a win, ugly or not, is a bonus - once we get to mid-season the hope is that the WRs will have "caught up." Winning a tough game (like any of the next 3) will be gravy.

Typical intelligent Broncos fan response from a typically intelligent Broncos fan. (SNORT!)

I've seen a lot of them up close...unfortunately!

Let's see here....ummm....St. Louis Rams....didn't give up a single TD...and they still lost! Well, St. Louis is the "greatest show on turf"! No, wait - that was 5 years ago! Oh, well...

Let's see here....ummm....Kansas City Chiefs....mmmm...they won this one! Did a great job of containing Trent Green....oh, wait - he didn't play....oh, well....Great job on Larry Johnson! What? 127 yards? Oh, well...a win's a win...Actually, they put the kibosh on KC with that devastating display of superior offensive power....what? No TDs again? What gives?

Well, I'm not really worried about that offense in Denver. They still teach their offensive linemen the lost art of chop blocking! Remember how, back in the Pats' second Super Bowl run, everyone complained that the Pats cheated! ('Course, it was never really shown how they did that without getting called for it, but I digress...) These Bronco teams have been doing this since Cave Days, but the level of criticism when compared to the Pats' critics' rings of j'accuse! is positively mute.

But - but - but - we own you! Yes! 4-1 against you guys in the last 5! What? 4 of the last 5 have been in Denver? Well, can't win 'em all, huh? Besides, we beat you twice last year! What? Both in Denver? So...what? The Pats used street guys against us in their first loss? Who cares! What? Zebras handed game to the Broncos repeatedly? So!?! That's one of our secret weapons!




You guys are coming into the lion's den in loin cloth and little else. You may want this game, but we want it a lot, lot more. Everyone's read about Williamson's pre-season analysis labeling the Pats a team that is "no longer dangerous" while generously, and foolishly, labeling that team in the obscure outpost in the mountains out west as a team with "Super Bowl asperations".

Let me tell you there, sonny - it's awfully hard to win in that league without scoring at least an occasional touchdown. We'll see if your football team can go 3 weeks in a row doing that.

I grant you your team's defense has risen to the call against the true iron of the league (in game 1, you played a St. Louis team that wouldn't know an offensive touchdown if it bit them in the a s s; in the 2nd game, you faced a team quarterbacked by a guy who's seen action in 6 games in his career, and for you guys it was still life and death!), but now the venue will be a little different, populated by mean, big violent guys who have had you in their sights for the better part of 8 months. Cripes, even the owner was talking about this game back in May!

My brother-in-law lives out there, and he's already talking smack via email. My wife wants me to tone it down....this week. Next week, she says, she's turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to my behavior over this, and I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to that.

Sunday...NBC....8:15 ET....6:15 MT....that's when it'll be marked that your season of "Super Bowl Asperations" is over!

Not such a lost art (chop blocking). Like a virulent plague - it has now spread to other teams. Atlanta (from former DEN coach Alex Gibbs) uses it and now has one of the top rushing teams in the league. Also Kubiak (HOU) has brough it there this season. And also Green Bay has also started it.

It is so dangerous to chop block - that the Bronchs O line will not even practive it on their own defensive players! They have to practice it on dummies. Trevor Pryce talked about how dangerous it is after he switched teams (Ravens) - there was a recent article about it on one of the major NFL websites but I can't find it.

To quote one of my favorite movies: "Stop helping!!"

Big lose?

 

[Brownfan80]

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! stick with the cardinals ole boy!!!!!! baaaaaaaaaa!

It must have felt awesome going on to win the Superbowl after that big win. Oh, wait.. That's right. You guys won exactly the same number of Superbowls as we did last season: ZERO.
