Wow the Denver O line doesn't suck. The Pats can't get a blitz in there, which is a big reason that Kanell's looking so good.

 

[CaptainHucklebuck]

DE-FENSE! DE-FENSE!

 

[B Maverick]

lets shotgun pass on 3rd and 3?run portis or better yet, PA Pass to someone 3 yards out. Its been working. Esp when your kicker is out!

 

[Weapon of Mass Instruction]

Ok, I have NE +2.5 so I need at least a FG here.Kanell has played much better than I expected. Had NE been able to stop the punt return, I'd be breathing a little easier.

 

[rick6668]

I am down by 1 point and have Elam (done) Sharpe and NE defense in a 1 point per rec league.Come on... 1 pass to sharpe or a turnover/sack for NE.... nothing this whole half. I have a feeling I'm gonna lose.... Damn...a win puts me in first with the #1 team already losing...

 

[Dave Dodson]

When you have a back that will go for 100 yards the first time all season against New England, you run on third and three? He averages 5 YPC for the season and over 4 this game...why would you?

 

[scottybo]

There's Graham again.

 

[Courtjester]

Agreed!! Run it up the middle on 3rd and then pick up the rest on a run on 4th...That missed Elam FG in the first is going to end up biting us....

 

[popeye]

New England's D looks toothless. I've yet to see them look this bad in the games I've seen them play this season.

 

[Drugrunner's Alias]

God, I know I don't talk to you as often as I could, but I need this from you. Please, no more passes to Graham, not another catch, and certainly not a TD.Thanks in advance,Drugrunner

 

[Courtjester]

Ball control. A few first downs. Run that clock.....

 

[BigTuna]

Shanny's an idiot.. Punting from the 33??? What a Chicken ####! They deserve to lose to NE...1) NE has been moving the ball at will,, so a 1 point lead is nothing2) Portis has just had 2 consecutive carries of 10+ yards,, is the NE defense getting soft???n3) If your gonna punt from the 33, why not go for it of 4th and 3.. Better yet,, if you knew in the first place that you were not going to go for the field goal,, then why not run it on 3rd and 3 and on 4th down.. portis should be able to pick up 3 yards in 2 downs...I'm sorry,,but shanny does not look like a genius to me... They're gonna lose this game..

 

[bostonfred2]

Pats got jobbed on that penalty call. Let's see some D here. PS Thanks for the reference in the sig, Drugrunner.

 

[singrat]

I just need 20 more yds from Portis. Pseeeeee

 

[scottybo]

Portis looking good. Give him the ball more!

 

[kolejo]

lets go now, portis long TD and then brady with a TD and 2 point and into OT

Shanny isn't a genius, Elway is a Hall of Famer. The two together were great, Shanny alone is average at best and frequently under criticized.

 

[B Maverick]

100 yards for Portis.Id say #4 or better this week. But he cant be used on 3rd and 3?

 

[The Little Man on the Boat]

New England's D looks toothless. I've yet to see them look this bad in the games I've seen them play this season.

No Richard Seymour will do that.

 

[Courtjester]

Gosh Harrison is a whinny little b0tch.....Every play he cries to the refs about this or that....

 

[scottybo]

100 yards for Portis.Id say #4 or better this week. But he cant be used on 3rd and 3?

100 and a TD against New England definitely deserves a top 5 for this week.

 

[The Little Man on the Boat]

I am surprised the Broncos re passing it so much.

 

[Dave Dodson]

3rd and 4 running out the clock...pass it!

 

[BigTuna]

now here they are 3rd and four,,, use 2 running plays... genius my ###..

 

[bostonfred2]

Huge pass defense by Rodney Harrison

 

[kolejo]

3 of the top 5 RB's in my league for me this week in Ahman, Portis and Hambrick

 

[BigTuna]

madden is agreeing with me now..

 

[Weapon of Mass Instruction]

Ok, I have NE +2.5 so I need at least a FG here.Kanell has played much better than I expected. Had NE been able to stop the punt return, I'd be breathing a little easier.

Oooh, I needed that.

 

[The Little Man on the Boat]

Ignoring Portis at the end of the game.......horrible play-calling.The Broncos don't deserve to win.

 

[Dave Dodson]

3rd and 4 running out the clock...pass it!

Man that was surprising...What an idiot, put it in your 3rd string QB's hands?

 

[scottybo]

Nice punt, downed at the 1

 

[Courtjester]

Ignoring Portis at the end of the game.......horrible play-calling.The Broncos don't deserve to win.

 

[rick6668]

My game is now tied.......this is crazy.. going down to the wireAnd he has Graham... and dropped that pass...

 

[BigTuna]

kind of disheartening to me to see the lack of faith in portis by shanny... I can't beleive they are punting it from NE's side of the field..

 

[The Little Man on the Boat]

Bad drop by Graham!!!

 

[B Maverick]

God, I know I don't talk to you as often as I could, but I need this from you. Please, no more passes to Graham, not another catch, and certainly not a TD.Thanks in advance,Drugrunner

he dropped it!

 

[The Little Man on the Boat]

Fortunatelty, the Patriots still have all of their timeouts because of the Brilliant playcalling by Shanahan.

 

[Dave Dodson]

God, I know I don't talk to you as often as I could, but I need this from you. Please, no more passes to Graham, not another catch, and certainly not a TD.Thanks in advance,Drugrunner

That last one was in fact Divine Intervention.

 

[scottybo]

Good, or a bad call?

 

[rick6668]

Dammit.. I have NE +2.5Freakin safety

 

[bostonfred2]

Safety Denver. I wonder how many fantasy games were won and lost on that play.

 

[The Little Man on the Boat]

Interesting call to take the safety. I like it. The Broncos would only have to go 10 to 20 yards to take a 4 point lead. Now they are only up by 3 and if the Patriots can stop them, they will have much better field position.

 

[Weapon of Mass Instruction]

Dammit.. I have NE +2.5Freakin safety

Me, too.Thanks Bill.

 

[B Maverick]

If ANYONE started denvers def/st they were rewarded. Safety, ints, and a TD on a PR.Message to Shanny.... RUN THE BALL

 

[BigTuna]

That was a great call by NE!!! Also covers the spread..

 

[rick6668]

I don't like it.. normally a good idea, but Elam is out and they can't kick a field goal

 

[bostonfred2]

Huge kick there. Now we need the hold.

 

[scottybo]

I don't like it.. normally a good idea, but Elam is out and you can't kick a field goal

Elam is on the Broncos. Pats have Vinatieri.

 

[The Little Man on the Boat]

I don't like it.. normally a good idea, but Elam is out and they can't kick a field goal

They will end up with much better field position if they stop them.

 

[Brewdude]

Come on Portis....break it and win my game for me! Down by 18, but he gets 2 pts for every 10 now since he's over 100 (odd rules).
