"Brady was mad and yelling at the refs. This tells us that the game was unfair. Cause Brady is a whiner...oops winner"
"We won't stand for this injustice."
Neither will Gronk
he has extra motivation to run over people now... Which I like... Just hope it doesn't lead him to do something stupid like fight for an extra 1/2 when he doesn't need to while 50 people are around his legs and knees
Yeah, not sure I want to play a Gronk with a purpose. It might help out come playoff time, couple weeks to get energized heading into the playoffs.
In all seriousness, this games means 50,000 times more to the broncos and Oz than the pats. I think there were some fans upset that undefeated season is out. This game means nothing if the pats keep HFA and less than nothing if they win a SB.
This game certainly has implications for the Patriots as well. I mean home field advantage and the Broncos now hold the tie breaker... Just looking on paper the Patriots shouldn't have to worry but the teams they are facing always rise up to the challenge and I do see 1 or even 2 losses for the Patriots if the game plan for the Pats is anything like the last 2 minutes of the first half in the Broncos game.
The pats may drop 1 or 2 more but the bengals and broncos are likely to drop another 1 or 2 as well. I see the broncos losing 1 to the steelers or bengals and maybe 1 to the raiders. Not sure what the bengals have left but they have been looking less than stellar lately. I would not be surprised if they stumbled a bit more going into the postseason.
Pats are in charge of their playoff seeding unlike the other teams. They handle business and it won't matter.
Sure, Denver dominated time of possession, yards, points, first downs, third down conversions, and beat NE in just about every statistical category... But the pats lost because of a bad call on gronk and they will win if they are in the playoffs against each other.
Makes sense.

Wrong. The Pats lost because of a flubbed punt. They were up 21-7 in the 4th and then they turned it over. The game was over at that point without a turnover. Pats would have run some clock and pinned DEN deep, or they would have scored. But keep telling yourself DEN dominated.
Can't this be said of a few things though for both teams? I mean Pats aren't up 21-7 in the 4th without a tipped pass at the LOS that was intercepted giving the Pats perfect field position. Or how about the Broncos punter deciding to only punt it like 25 yards giving the Patriots great field position on their first drive. Or Osweiler taking a 14 yard sack that took the team out of field position. Or a bogus holding call against the Broncos that took them back 10 yards turning a chip shot 37 yard field goal into a 47 yard field goal that they missed. Or the defensive holding call on the Pats last drive in regulation that when looked at was a very ticky tack call that makes that last field goal try much tougher being 52 yards instead of 47.
I mean you have to look at the entirety of the game where both teams had things go against them that could have easily cost them the game.
That Pats lost because they got outplayed by Denver. Period end of story.Wrong. The Pats lost because of a flubbed punt. They were up 21-7 in the 4th and then they turned it over.

Lies! If I am a delusional fan I get to cherry pick which event is adjusted in revisionist history.
