On to Denver 1/24/2016

Having a rookie ball carrier is always a gamble and having to use one in a critical playoff game is even more so. Pittsburgh had no other options than Toussaint and he fumbled at the worst possible time and Denver took advantage. Final Broncos 23 Steelers 13 when it should have been Steelers 16 Broncos 15.

The Broncos better get their offense together because 5 FG is not going to beat the Patriots, in Denver, Foxboro or Caribou, Maine. That and Tom Brady will have his full compliment of wide receivers and his shoulder isn't separated.

Another barn burner in the Mile High City next Sunday.

Have we got any early injury reports on Jones, Collins and Mayo?

With the fact that all three players walked off the field on their own, I'd say the chances are good they will be available for Denver. There are a maximum of two games left to this season. Plenty of time in the off season to take care of the wounds from a long football season. My only nagging thought is that Goodell may decide to suspend Chandler Jones for this game. Remember, the NFL is "looking into" his recent incident with synthetic grass. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I can see Goodell doing this to help ensure that Peyton Manning has an easier chance of advancing to the Super Bowl and also getting back at the Patriots.

I can see it, and my tinfoil hat is on the rack.

Gonna be a fun one for sure. No reason to break this game down, we all know what is in store. They are also talking about releasing the PSI before the SB. Pats go to the SB, they release the numbers, Den goes, the NFL sits on them...Just want Sunday to get here, I really don't want to talk or read about this game for the next week.

IF the Patriots make it to the Super Bow, Jones will be suspended... You can pretty much guarantee that. Sadly

Still wondering about the state of the Pats' running game for Denver. We need at least enough for Phillips' defense to play it honest and not cheat toward the passing game.

Suspended for what? Spice is legal. In order to be suspended, one must have failed two tests. Jones did not break any rules regarding illegal or banned substances.

Now Peyton Manning and HGH.....that's a different story.

Oh come on you know it's not something the league wouldn't think about doing. I know he didn't use an illegal substance but I wouldn't put it past Goodell and company
