[The General]

Brady's face on the sack

Battle of crappy O lines

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Tremendous answer by the Patriots defense to get the sack on 1st down. Completely changes this end game. Now Denver will try and run clock. Brady likely to get the ball back.

 

[ffldrew]

Good D

 

[The General]

Butler. Hate that guy.

 

[dschuler]

D Thomas drops so many passes it seems like. Not worth the money

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

My son: I think Brady is actually older than Manning."

Me: uh, I don't think so.

My son: Well one of them is like a year older than the other.

Me: Way to hedge your bets there, sport.

 

[Pipes]

What happened to Demarius Thomas?

 

[Andrew74]

Killed that drive.

I think AZ would have a field day against either.

Josh McDaniel doing his Stuart Smiley work on the sideline

 

[bostonfred]

Ugh

 

[Short Corner]

That makes no sense. Recoveries count after the whistle?

ARTICLE 1. DEAD BALL DECLARED. An official shall declare the ball dead and the down ended:(m) when an official sounds his whistle erroneously while the ball is still in play, the ball becomes dead immediately

(1) If the ball is in player possession, the team in possession may elect to put the ball in play where it has been declared

dead or to replay the down.

(2) If the ball is a loose ball resulting from a fumble, backward pass, or illegal forward pass, the team last in possession

may elect to put the ball in play at the spot where possession was lost or to replay the down.

How does someone not know this? You guys know the NFL plays every Sunday in the fall right? Might try and catch a game sometime and learn something.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Dude looks like he's about to throw up...

 

[dschuler]

As bad as NE has looked, they have a chance to go up before the half

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Pats look eager to get to the locker

 

[Pipes]

Give up play handing it to old man Jackson.

You should try to use the whole rule book and not one page. I'm not going to do your homework for you

Agree and I don't see either team really being a major threat. Carolina or Arizona, whoever emerges from that Star Wars affair is going to be the favorite, no? I guess Pats could be if they win today but NFC looks better at the moment.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Seth Rogan and Amy Shummer have the same bra size.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Butler made a good play on that last one, but Thomas should have secured it immediately. Way too many drops this season.

 

[bostonfred]

This Surface commercial IS the in game adjustment of the week.

 

[The General]

Well timed Microsoft commercial.

 

[RBM]

What happened to Demarius Thomas?

Really not that great. Great athlete, not a great receiver.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

In game adjustment of the week = getting our tablets to work.

 

[ffldrew]

Lets go South Stands!!!!

I did the homework. There's nothing in the 2015 rulebook that allows a defense to recover a fumble after a play has been blown dead.

 

[ROCKET]

Pats offense playing scared, not good.

 

[bostonfred]

OK, halftime adjustment. I'm eating some buffalo wings.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Yeah, he was throwing that away.

 

[Pipes]

Patriots may want to burn some clock here.

 

[Slider]

Go Broncos!!!

 

[Franknbeans]

turf ball Tommy

 

[jonessed]

Brady looks like dog####.

 

[bostonfred]

Two important minutes coming up here

 

[lod01]

No idea why they keep dicking around with Hillman. He's useless.

 

[dickey moe]

Seth Rogan and Amy Shummer have the same bra size.

Their morning deuces are also roughly comparable after a case of Bud Lite.

 

[ShamrockPride]

DT caught a ball?? Is this real life?

 

[Donnybrook]

Using Anderson rather than Hilman. What a novel idea.

 

[Thunderlips]

DEN needs to get points here. Between this and getting the ball in the third....if they could get up 24 - 9 before NE even sees the ball in the third.......they could really lay a hurt on Brady.

Tom Brady's current passer rating of 18.1 would be the worst of his career in a full game http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BradTo00/gamelog/#stats::16 …

This is the worst we've seen Tom Brady since a courtroom sketch artist was his biggest foe:

 

[dickey moe]

Thomas has been dog-doo.

 

[ffldrew]

Good play by Ryan - not sure if he knew the ball was there.

 

[ROCKET]

Only so long that the defense can keep this game close. So far the worst playoff game I have seen Brady play. They look terrible and the play calling is so conservative.

Brady has no passion or fire.

 

[Donnybrook]

4 yards. Go for it.

 

[Thunderlips]

That being said, if DEN only gets 6 or 7 between the two possessions.....I'm still taking NE. They're too good to not make adjustments at the half.

 

[ffldrew]

McManus MVP

 

[fred_1_15301]

Both teams have elite kickers and very good defenses. This will be another classic ending.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Denver needs a score opening drive next half. The sooner you can get Brady to throw deep, the better. That's where most of his mistakes come from.
