Patriots vs Broncos 12-18-2016 4:25 PM EST

Patriots are undefeated on the road in 2016.

They average 26.2 pts. on the road and give up 15.2.

Brady has a scorched earth attitude........and would like nothing more than
to turn his back on Roger Goodell during the Lombardi Trophy Award,
after winning another Super Bowl.

So right now being a playoff contender means we are not good?

All of which means nothing if they don't protect him. That's the key.

Best of luck this weekend.

Likewise.

Hoping everybody leaves Mile High healthy.

This thread got weird.

Watching all of the Patriots programming this week......Sports Tonight, Early edition, 3 and Out, Patriots Football Weekly and New England Tailgate...............the consensus is that the Broncos will get an extremely heavy dose of LaGarrett Blount early. The Broncos 29th rated run defense will have to deal with a 250 Lb. road grader. The idea is to tire the D line enough to give Brady an extra second to pass in the second half. Exhaust the middle and pick up the edge with an extra blocker. Unless they just can't stop the run, then just continue to run it down their throat.

They made a point of showing the Ravens defense in the 2nd period with all of them with their hands on their hips gasping for air or bent over, hands on knees. Blount had nearly 80 yards when they showed it. Dealing with a 315 lb Offensive lineman and then trying to tackle a Rhinoceros running at full speed. All the practice in the world doesn't prepare anyone for 25 or 30 plays like that.

the exact game plan Bronco fans told you the Pats should do this week if they want to beat the Broncos.

 

[CreepCreep2014]

No shock to me. Lineup, bring in Fleming as an extra TE, Bennett on the other side and run the ball. Also I think the change of pace backs will help. Then you can hit them with some play action.

 

[Vyle203]

Shaky start

 

[BigKen]

Patriots off to a horrible start. Two possessions, 2 3 and outs. Fumble on the first punt by Norwood and they can't move the ball because the coaching staff isn't doing what every other person has said they need to do which is run straight at the Bronco defense. 3-0 and Denver is starting their second drive.

Brady is 0-4 passing and maybe BB needs to sit his ass down for a series and let JG run the offense. Brady looks totally out of sorts.

 

[SDGuy73]

Brady needs to pull his head out of his ass.

 

[SDGuy73]

Yeah. Two great runs

 

[Vyle203]

Nice run by Lewis.

 

[Vyle203]

Geeeez

 

[BigKen]

Eric Rowe is a liability. He can't cover D. Thomas or the TE. He gave up two huge passes in a row. One for 17 on a 3rd and 12 and one for 16 on a 3rd 8.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Brady locked into JE11 again. Spread it around a little.
Lewis looking good running it

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Need to rush more than 3. Siemenan is looking good. Fitting a lot of passes into small windows.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

What half time adjustments does NE make?
I think more pressure on the QB.
More Blount even though Lewis has been a stud.
A couple swing routes to White and or Lewis.

 

[TP76]

WTF Brady... who dressed Chad Pennington as #12 - typical Brady in Denver stinker.

 

[SDGuy73]

17 passes and 17 runs.
