Game Thread: Week 5: Denver Broncos at New England Patriots

[SpringStein]

I’d say more like 15/85. It would be surprising to play him not practicing yesterday or today.

I understand he practiced today? Maybe double the odds - 30/70.

I would say the game is starting to be in jeopardy of being postponed.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Report today said Lock has a very good chance to play this week if no setbacks in practice prior to the game.
Fant is very doubtful. Hamler is out.

 

[fightinredantz]

With Fant seeming likely out, we need someone to be that guy to pickup the slack. Jake Butt or Albert O. seem like the most likely guys to be able to make a game changing play in the receiving game.

 

[Mingo]

If lock plays - I predict a TD pass to Albert O.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Titans another positive case. Patriots no positive cases. Honestly it is stupid but I would make the Titans forfeit their game this week if they can’t play.

Even better, have them forfeit all their games so far.

hey! We’re 2-2!

Early monday night game now ladies and gentleman.

 

[fightinredantz]

I am not surprised. Sounds like Rypein is likely to start. I wonder if an extra day will help Fant be available?

Shelby is not happy to have a short week before playing the Dolphins.

3:05 starting time in Colorado. A very productive Modaay afternoon at work across the state!

Don't know what's true but I heard on a sports broadcast that::::::

1. Head Coach and GM may be suspended for one year
2. Titans will lose their first round draft pick in 2021
3. Owner will be fined $10,000,000

4. Here's the BIGGIE...............Titans will forfeit all remaining games in 2020.

Reason: Held an illegal practice and not one person was wearing a mask. League has multiple videos.

If any player that tested positive was at the practice, the league owners will have to meet and decide whether or not to take the franchise away from owner Amy Adams Strunk.

Hey guys.....................we had a cold snap move in last night. Temps dipped to 30. As I type it's 34 in my back yard here in NH. I'm about 75 miles from Foxboro.


For those of you who don't know........

Game is now scheduled for Monday 10/12 at 5:00 PM Eastern time. It will be the second CBS Monday Night Football in consecutive weeks. It's not prime time but my gut says that Nantz and Romo will be doing the game. Big money for CBS.

Not sure what you are listening too but this seems way way way too steep. Could be a Patriots fan wish list after losing to them in the playoffs last year.

Good thing I am working from home as the first half hour or so will be while I am in a meeting at work.

Great - the Patriots don't practice good hygiene and the Broncos get penalized with a short week. Bad enough in a generic situation, but that week Drew Lock needs the extra day to get ready to play. Also this is about the 13th time out of 15 where the Broncos have to play in Foxborough.

No hill for a stepper. The NFL is going to make the Pats play without any practice - so we will see how that goes - when the Broncos had the long week to prepare.

This will be an interesting game for a lot of odd reasons.

 

[Carnzo]

Practice?
They don't need no stinking practice. Gulp.
Looking like no Cam ether.
Not liking this at all.
I wouldn't bet a dime on this game.

 

[fightinredantz]

Patriots with another positive test. Game is still scheduled for Monday Night pending additional tests.

 

[fightinredantz]

Broncos-Pats game moved to next Sunday.

I think this postponement is the right thing to do but I think it helps the Pats more. Cam and Gilmore likely back. Lock becomes more certain to play. Fant has a chance too. Not sure where that puts some of the guys on IR like Bouye, Jones, Walker, and Barron.

I liked the week 8bye, not near as happy with a week 5 bye, but if it allows some guys to get healthy and they condensing healthy the rest of the season it may be a blessing.

What does the league do at the end of the season when they are out of byes? I think this is overly protective of the Patriots.
