Game Thread: Denver Broncos @ New England Patriots

[GNG]

I think Luck could be very special.

Luck will be among the elite. That kid has the moxie of a seasoned QB.

Colts need to be smart with team building around him, keep a good balance with offense and defense.

Good point and that was the prob with Polian. When he was GM, all he did was build around Peyton . He made the same mistake when he was with Buffalo. Sure he took them to 4 SB's but we all know how that turned out. BB kinda does the opposite where he builds more around D

Today's flavor, tomorrow might be Rodgers or Luck. We and the knowledgeable fans know how lucky we are with Brady,

Having an elite QB is a definite advantage.

He does look older and plays seasoned, did someone check to make sure he didn't play 10 years in CFL or somewhere. I know Weeden is just an old rookie

Def it helps when all the players want to go to war with that guy, besides the tangibles

We have Romo who is very good but not elite. In his defense he has not had the fortune to play on any stellar teams.

Surprise for me is the lack of running game for Denver???????????????

These two teams will be at it again this year, for sure

Patriots defense is obviously better than most folks thought. I mean if they can shut down the greatest fukin QB who ever walked the earth, they can't be half bad???

Denver has now played two real live SB contending teams and...................well, you know the rest. It's time for Princess Peyton to retire before he soils his legacy as the greatest regular season stat whore in the history of the game.

I don't agree on Buffalo. That team was loaded on both sides of the ball. They just existed in an Era where the NFC was vastly superior...and missed their one golden chance vs NYG.

But the Colts most certainly put all their eggs on offense. Which resulted in big statistical seasons but an inferior playoff team. Especially with Manning making mistakes he rarely made in the regular season.

I'm still iffy about the front 7. Where they can match up with anyone is in the secondary. Their weakness the last 5 years is now the strength.

Those Colts teams were only average on defense but had an outstanding offense.

GG Romo is very good for an unknown and esp for being a walk-on. Brady as we all know , went in 6th round. So I think both franchises are very lucky. We have seen how many first round busts and headcases there have been. Romo is tough and has heart. Brady plays with the fire like he can lose his job anytime. Who knows it could be from the guy who went to the same college as your guy lol

They had a top 5 and 7 D a few years but on general just AVG

peyton finally had a ''bad'' day like every other team,...and it wasn't just peyton's fault today,.....I just pray we win-out the rest of the year, because I think the broncos will .

yeah and I was at that game. Norwood goes wide on the FG to win it. I look on NYG sidelines and see Parcells and BB jumping up and down and hugging. Man LT,Pepper Johnson and Carl Banks. The latter 2 we were lucky to get as line coaches

 

[NEhomer]

Nice game Patriots!

The Pats should win their division. You shouldn't worry about that.

 

[GNG]

I'm just concerned that Romo's injury might be worse than reported. If we have to rely on Weeden we're toast.

Would be a shame , nobody gave them a chance and before you knew it they were 6-1, beat Seattle at their house and ranked #1. Who would have thought that, beginning of season

Yeah, they gave up almost 50 yds rushing to the bestest offense in the whole NFL and I share you're concerns.

Seriously, did the Patriots blitz at all today? Belichick took John Fox to school today and the Denver coach flunked.

Manning is good and the Broncos schedule is easy as shit from here on out, but he'll gack on one or two away from home. Besides they have John Fox as HC.

I ain't ascared of John Fox.
