Patriots vs Denver

Manning is Manning. Need to disguise defenses as he changes so much at the line. Their O line looks good today. A lot of inside double teaming to spring Moreno. Looks exactly like the Patriots line did last night.
Secondary is suspect and is getting exposed here late in the 4th by San Diego. They take chances. D line pressures well, especially on a delayed rush or stunt, and we know how nimble Brady is....
Be nice to not play in a rain storm.....

I also read today that Spikes was put on IR because he was late to a meeting. not because of aggravating his injury. They were going to cut him, but went the IR route so he will still get playoff share. But he will be gone....

Should be an exciting game. Pats have been changed single handedly by Blount.With Blount now moving front and center , the Pats are like a new team. The opposition now has to play the run on D and that really changes them simply blitzing and falling back for coverage on Tom. Stuff happens like turnovers or luck either way but in a straight forward game I think we will trounce Denver if Blount has a big running game again. Sure wish we had the Gronk but I think we have what's needed to go to the SB again.

They should fly to Denver tomorrow and start acclimating to the altitude.

I am looking forward to a great game, should a heck of a battle. Hopefully our defense can hold them to well under 30 points and Blount has another monster game. I think the thin air will have some effect but the Pats should be prepared.

the Chargers left alot of plays on the field...they could have won it.. their play calling was suspect as well... that said... My biggest fear of Denver are the phantom PI calls that have made a good deal of Mannings stats better than they are.. He and his brother have made a living off of that "play"...I just want it called even and fair... I doubt we get that in Denver...I would love to see the game played on a nuetral outdoor field...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Same can be said about the Broncos.
Plenty of drops, Welker had his share.
Should be a good game.
I think either team that wins is going to have their hands full with the Seahawks in the super bowl.

Certainly Seattle is favored but SF looked pretty tough against the Panthers. I think both games this coming weekend should be pretty good.

I think the Patriots are gonna win handily, scoring over 40 once again against a bad Denver defense and holding them to under 30.

Denver will win after a mighty comeback at the end of the game.

I'll be rooting for the Pats...but I sure as hell wouldn't put any money on it. Winning in Denver has always been a tall task with the Pats

Line is at 4.5. If you believe the home team gets 3 points off the bat, then you're looking at a 1.5 point spread. Should be a tight game, and hopefully fun to watch if you're a Pats fan.

Be careful what you wish for. A couple of Pats wins this year have come after questionable calls.

I still like the Pats in this one, especially with the new look they showcased last week!

So which Patriots team does Denver prepare for...the running or passing?

The Pats should be able to mix things up pretty well and Denver's passing D isn't the best. If we can manage an interception or two I think we have a good chance.

Get there early to see start at 3. With any luck you'll see the whole game if the plane from China is a little late late!

or if you are very brave ...tell her to take a taxi.

What Barkley says is true. We want all or nothing from the Pats. I went to lots of pats games in the 70's and I can remember when winning half the games was considered a great season. Winning only 4 all season was about what was expected. now its Super Bowl Champs or chumps. We have been spoiled by the Bill/Brady era.

It's going to be a tough game. The D needs to get into Peyton's head quick, get him frustrated, force some plays. We came back after spotting them 3 scores, Blount only had 2 carries that game. I believe Denver has the edge, but this is going to be a grudge match, and we will come out on top...

after all is said and done... looking back at the pro bowlers that are on IR... the "rag tag" group of recievers.. make shift offense and defensive lines.. a running back discarded and given up on by other teams now running over people like he's Corey Dillon... all the adversity this team has over come.. how many times as fans did we think each injury to a key player was the tipping point.. they met every challenge... this team is special.. win or loose .. it's been a thrill.. even in defeat they were never out of it until the clock struck 0000...they only need 2 more games to do something REALLY special...deep down I feel their best is yet to come.. I'm thinking we are due for a Tom Brady air show... Pats by 10 in a thriller...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
