Lets seee....they burned us for 17 points before we woke up and then we outscored them 41 to 6 the rest of the game. I'm sure the players remember getting down so early in the last game. Yes the Broncos will be fired up do to this last win but the Pats will also be fired up since its their first playoff game.

I think I like being a Pats fan this Saturday night.

Jinxed them??? Its playoff time in professional football. Somehow I think the outcome will be determined by how they play , not some "jinx" but of course we can never be sure.

Teams with no defense don't often get to the big game and the Pats defense is probably the worst of any playoff team. This game might depend on turnovers. Supposed to be very cold - running games might come into play. I don't have a good feeling but hope I'm wrong.

lets hope your right.. the last 4 weeks they got into an ugly pattern of falling behind... my encoragement is that unlike the last few years.. they seem to be able to make adjustments to both the D and O.. we haven't seen that in them in some time... The stars are aligning nicely.. Go Huston!

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Would definitely help if Flacco laid an egg this week.....that is assuming the Patriots take care of business. Bad memories of getting beaten by a sub par QB (Flacco) sticks in my craw. Baltimore's defense and RB are to be respected, but their QB I just can't stand him.
