The Official Patriots vs Broncos AFC Championship game thread

[Skree]

Let's get Dobson or Edelman deep -- that'll open the run up

 

[A man named Brady]

Just the usual big game OL failure. Seen it pretty much every year since 2007.

 

[PATRlOT]

They should take out Blount and put in Ridley and Vereen. Ridley had success against the Broncos last year and Blount is just too slow.

I'd settle for being down 1 TD at halftime, given the missed big plays, the unequal refereeing, and the Broncos getting the ball first.

All 3 of those things could flip in the second half.

I would agree, but the Pats got the ball first.

I'll agree about trading FGs for TDs if D can't hold DEN without a score here... for now, it's still a "simple" 1 score game.

for all folks with their 1 or 2 beers... i thought *i* was a lightweight... ready to switch to the harder stuff.... drambuie or straight up laphroaig? votes?

 

[Rob0729]

Brady has had pretty good protection all game thus far and just like that a big whiff on an important game. Still only seven points.

Hopefully, Talib will be back in. The defense is very different without him.

 

[festy1986]

3 and out is a must.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

wonder if they will call any penalties on the broncos today

 

[Brady6]

Based on our offensive trends this season (1 good half/1 bad half) we’re primed for a great second half

 

[DefenseRules]

No Talib = Touchdown for Manning unless the defense makes a play

 

[cavtroop]

Jones got raped!

Flag! yes

edit: carter

 

[SVN]

we can use some luck from the football gods.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

omg they called denver on a penalty?

 

[PatsSweFan]

About fecking time

 

[Big-T]

About time that got called.

 

[buile]

yeah, baby,,, if you didn't call that hold i woulda been ballistic.

 

[PatriotSeven]

Good call refs.

 

[Gronk]

Oh, sure...Wes catches that

 

[Fencer]

Andre Carter draws the hold!

 

[randomk1]

Oh look how tough butterfingers is now...catching balls and flexing his muscles and all.
