AFCC Game Thread: Patriots/Broncos - The Final Showdown (1 Viewer)

[Hov34]

Something tells me a flag is going to decide this.

 

[geoff8695]

Now imagine - WHAT IF the patriots had settled for 2 FGs on 4th down in the red zone instead of going for the TD...

 

[sho nuff]

Crying about a penalty on a ball thrown into triple coverage in desperation...

 

[Statorama]

Oh the sweet, sweet irony of a New England receiver crying because he was held....which was essentially the cornerstone of all of the New England Superbowl defenses ("they can't call a foul on every pass...so foul on every pass")

 

[Popinski]

Broncos D line has to be getting tired

 

[dparker713]

Manning is legit the absolute weakest link of this team. Wonder if they could conceivably bench him for the Super Bowl

I think he's played pretty well today

 

[IHEARTFF]

NE should have only used 1 TO there.

 

[The General]

So pumped for the Pro Bowl.

 

[GoBirds]

Bronco's players 24" verticle leaps on that Gronk play

Gronk 4" verticle

yeah .... no holding there huh ?

pathetic

Well you convinced me with your science, Mr. Nye

Verticle

Awesome breakdown there.

 

[Higgs]

Pats will probably score but will miss the 2 point conversion. Missed extra points always come back to haunt you. It's a fundamental law of the universe.

 

[Sabertooth]

NE should have probably won that week 17 game at Miami to get home field

Their own arrogance is the only thing that does them in time and time again.

That an losing games.

 

[Valjean]

Here comes the Pats favorite play in this situation. Ticky Tack pass interference on the Broncos. I have seen it too many times in the past.

 

[ShamrockPride]

What's with all these teams leaving NE free timeouts? Terrible coaching always bailing NE out.

 

[Hov34]

Pro Bowl, yuk. Why don't they just get them to all play Madden against each other.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

A few of you need to hit fast-forward on your remote

 

[dschuler]

Now imagine - WHAT IF the patriots had settled for 2 FGs on 4th down in the red zone instead of going for the TD...

Denvers offense has been anemic since halftime. Get the points that you can and chip away

 

[JuniorNB]

Manning is legit the absolute weakest link of this team. Wonder if they could conceivably bench him for the Super Bowl

lol. Yeah they're going to bench him after a victory against the defending champs with 2 touchdown passes.

 

[Dez]

Smart use of TO's before the 2 min warning. So sick of coaches waiting for the warning then taking them on the other side.

Disagree. It gives Denver a free pass play. It almost cost them the game to save 4 seconds.

Correct I hate when teams call a timeout right before the 2 min warning it allows the other team to throw a pass because they know the clock will stop anyway.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Still have a LB on White. Ridiculous.

 

[bostonfred]

More long passes to white

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Why do they keep throwing the ball to this running back who can't catch ? He looks exhausted too

 

[dgreen]

Relying on White so much seems odd.

 

[Insein]

White <> Lewis

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Great game, but Denver's inability to finish it off has been maddening.

 

[HellToupee]

Has anyone heard Brandon LaFell's name? Is he playing

 

[Statorama]

wow...that was a surprising non-call on the NE 1st and 10 play...defender didn't turn around and definitely made contact with the receiver.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Relying on White so much seems odd.

He's toasting Marshall every time Brady just hasn't laid one in there yet.

 

[Ladsud]

Ware the beast!

 

[GoBirds]

Love this pressure.

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Grounding.

 

[jonessed]

Why do they keep throwing the ball to this running back who can't catch ? He looks exhausted too

Gronkowski was fast-walking his route.

 

[SacramentoBob]

how are these not intentional grounding?

 

[Donnybrook]

No intentional grounding there.

 

[dgreen]

Broncos D line has to be getting tired

Good call.

 

[Jobber]

Wow the denver defense is dynamite.

 

[ffldrew]

Honestly thats grounding

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Pressure coach or not but depends of bands are just speed rushing the tackles and blowing pass them on every single play

 

[sporthenry]

At some point, McDaniels has to get some heat. Stop running 5 receiver routes.

 

[Stealthycat]

Gronk has excellent verticle unless someone is holding him

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

OH MUH GAWD

 

[Wingnut]

R u kidding me

 

[Insein]

wow...that was a surprising non-call on the NE 1st and 10 play...defender didn't turn around and definitely made contact with the receiver.

Thought that but replay showed the receiver just fell and the defender tripped over him.

 

[GoBirds]

Haha unbelievable

 

[The General]

GRONKING

 

[dickey moe]

BALLS

 

[Billy Bats]

WOWZERS.

 

[Statorama]

GRONK!!!!!

 

[HellToupee]

Gronkowski , what a player

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Oh ####. GRONK

 

[FUBAR]

Grounding.

Thought the same but there was a patriot in that area. On the ground.

freaking Gronk
