Denver at New England (1 Viewer)

[The Ref]

Ridley returning punts now.

 

[Tango]

Ok, who had Edleman in the pool?

 

[Otis]

Wow that was close.

 

[msudaisy26]

Who is going to be left to play offense?

 

[drummer]

That ball must be an ice block

 

[towney]

With all these fumbles NE not going to have anyone playing

Bolden could be the hot WW pickup this week...

 

[ffldrew]

Almost. Almost.

 

[Ridgelake]

Wow, Edelman puts the ball on the turf twice in 1 play. That makes at least 4 Pats who've fumbled so far

The new rule this year prohibits both runners and defenders from leading with the helmet

With the top of the helmet.

Which is what happened

Weird how it happens all the time and doesn't get flagged.

 

[Workhorse]

4th fumble by the Pats. Lucky to recover one. Belichick's halftime speech should be, uh...interesting.

 

[PennStater77]

NE needs a score and it will put pressure on Denver.

Manning doesn't look good and he sucks playing NE in the cold.

 

[bostonfred]

Operation false sense of confidence is bold. Only belichick could come up with something like this. Manning is stuck on the starting blocks, the broncos d is exhausted, and the patriots are coming out with fresh legs while the broncos have to deal with wind on the backs of their necks.

 

[SameSongNDance]

Sick play by Brady right there.

 

[The Ref]

Brady playing basketball now.

 

[SengerCJ]

Wow, what a recovery by Brady.

 

[The General]

The Patriots have small hands.

 

[msudaisy26]

I have never seen anything like this.

 

[charlatan]

Hard hitting game. Wind is definitely floating passes, runners rule the roost... And here's Boldin

 

[bostonfred]

Looked like bird with that one dribble, no look pass. Greatest athlete in sports history?

 

[msudaisy26]

This game is over lol

 

[SameSongNDance]

Wow Vereen drops a perfect pass on a wheel route again..

 

[Workhorse]

Got to catch that ball Vereen.

 

[mad sweeney]

OMG HELMET TO HELMET!!!! WHERE'S THE FLAG?!?!?!?!?!

 

[raidergil]

Manning not looking good throwing with the glove (not that Brady is much better). I watched Kelly beat Marino 44-34 in Buffalo in the snow - neither wearing gloves. I know the gloves are like stickum now (and still don't understand how anyone drops a pass with them) but there's no precipitation so what's the deal?

 

[Ignoramus]

HELMET TO HELMET!

 

[bostonfred]

another broncos defender has to bow out. The broncos are screwed.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Does Dukie and Nacho ever play an entire game?

 

[ffldrew]

And no flag to bail them out. Amazing.

 

[Alkahsu]

I need 29 yards from D. Thomas that's not too much to ask

Weird how it happens all the time and doesn't get flagged.

Inside the tackle box or behind 3 yards beyond the line of scrimmage it isn't a penalty. That didn't apply here. I think it should have been called.

 

[need2know]

this game is incredible

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

this game is incredible

just what the NBC execs were hoping for

I wasn't talking about being in the tackle box, I'm talking about the dozen or more times every game that it happens and isn't flagged.

 

[Phlash]

And no flag to bail them out. Amazing.

Goodell has decided to punish the Patriots this season because Tags went so easy on them

They like them.

 

[Workhorse]

Ok, how is that not intentional grounding???

 

[Workhorse]

Thank you.

 

[Run It Up]

OMG a grounding call on someone not named Brady -- never thought Id see the day.

 

[Doubtingthomas]

bull#### grounding call.

 

[Insein]

Ha! Ref trolling the pats fans.

"Roughin the pass... j/k"

 

[Ignoramus]

Grounding? He was throwing to Thomas and got hit.

 

[Otis]

DT with two bad drops so far. Brutal.

Read it again

 

[Doubtingthomas]

Get out of the way decker

 

[Ignoramus]

OMG a grounding call on someone not named Brady -- never thought Id see the day.

Yeah, all the calls go against Brady. Poor guy can't catch a break.

 

[LuckyOne]

Intentional grounding happens all the time & isn't called. Add that to the weirdness if this game.

 

[bostonfred]

Lol. Poor broncos have a running back controversy on their hands. Ripping that locker room apart from the inside. Remind me to never tick off belichick.

 

[ffldrew]

Why pass?

 

[Kilgore]

Broncos making the Patriots look like the Browns… Unreal…

 

[Run It Up]

Yeah, all the calls go against Brady. Poor guy can't catch a break.

The frequency at which he gets flagged for grounding, compared to the rest of the league does raise questions.
