if denver plays this bad next week they are going to get owned. they had nothing going on defense, or offense, the only thing that stopped the patriots were themselves. denver did not even cause a couple of the fumbes the patriots just dropped them. denver cannot expect those kinds of gifts next week agianst whoever they play.

The patriots just killed themselves in that game. Missed field goals, too many fumbles, muffed punt return, etc etc. But hey, its the playoffs and basically it comes down to the team who doesnt make the mistakes usually wins.
Not only that but the officials calls werent too good. Sorry the pass interference call was just BS. No call on the false start on the field goal when the guard clearly moved. The call with bailey's fumble, the ball was in the end zone. It looked pretty clear to me from the one camera angle.
Personally I think the pat's out played em but lost due to mistakes. They were due to make em though.
I predicted Bronco's would win, and Im glad I did since I won with the bookie. I figured the NFL doesnt want to keep having the same team win (just let em win this long to break the consecutive game record), so gotta try put em down any chance they can get. Bronco's was a good chance.

I dunno, I know that alot of people are calling that pass interference play, but how do you turn the ball over 5 times and expect to win? Denver didn't play like a superbowl contender, but the Pats certantly didn't look like a team in persuit of the 'Dynasty' milestone. Whatever the hell that means.
OH - a serious KUDOS to Tom Brady for going out on the feild and actually talking to the opposing team after the game. Good for him - perhaps he's not a whiny suckbaby afterall.

Looks like the same generation to me... It has to be, because during Elways time the Pats were 0-10 aginst him 😀
If the Broncs can win the AFC championchip this year thats 4 decades in a row and 3 different QB's... that just seems to fit the definition more to me.
Or you can buy into the media BS. <--- Warning, leads to Zealot status 😉

Ok I just got back from the Church of the Denver Broncos at Mile High and I have something to say.
THE PATRIOTS CHOKED UNDER THE PRESSURE!
The Denver Broncos had two weeks to prepare for this game. Defense was ready to play a big game in front of the home crowd and made several big plays. The patriots made some big plays but they also made just as big mistakes. The most glowing of these was the botched punt return that Denver recovered. This was botched because the person that was going to block the kick had to stop from going over the line and causing a first down from an encroachment penalty. If timed correctly I think that they would of blocked the punt.
When ever you turn over the ball five times and give short yardage to the endzone you are going to lost the game.

I don't think it was just pressure.
Maybe you guys need to check back, but the Pats schedule was not exactly hard... and name a single GOOD team they beat up till now... Jacksonville? LOL did you check their schedule also?
Lets look at the Broncos schedule, drew a very hard NFC division and lets also mention 2 games with the Chargers and Chiefs... 2 teams which BTW smacked down some VERY big contenders this year... the Pats being one.. and I seem to recall a 13-0 team getting Swatted too.
Broncos went into that game simply a better team. Beating the Jets and the Bills is not "Bouncing back" it's the media kissing Brady a$$.

Why do homers always throw in the "salary cap era so they're the best dynasty" line?
Granted most pats fans just sprouted out of nowhere in the past 5 years so I wouldn't expect them to know much about the NFL before the year 2000.

The Bronco's offence was very impressive. Just because they had short fields most of the game does not take away from the fact they did their job.
BTW Even though I would have another game at Mile High against pittsburgh, I did pick the indy to win tomorrow so the Broncos will have to win next weeks game away.
