we nearly beat you with freakin kannell at qb...with plummer back HEALTHY and prtis running all over you AGAIN...you'll be sitting right next to the steelers!
:rotflmao: :rotflmao: man, patriot fans are the FIRST ones to stroke themselves on this board!
Don't you worry, the broncos won't get screwed again on a couple block in the backs at home like we did on dantes return to beat us.broncos will beat the chiefs at home.
Nearly beat you ranks up there with almost getting laid. Means nothing.Amen!Btw, when the broncos make the playoffs and have to go to NE...what kind of excuse are you going to give us then :cough: matrix :cough:

Oh.....my.....God.The Broncos championship hopes rest squarely upon the mighty shoulders of Jake freakin' Plummer.I never thought I'd see the day.
Refresh my memory....weren't the Pats down a few bodies that day as well? Weren't our starting recievers Deion Branch and David Givens? Didn't we win IN Denver? Yet you're confident that they could win In foxboro?Tell you what... You lose Rod smith, ashley lelie, and 9 defensive starters; then win against miami, philly, dallas, new england (since we beat you) and tennesee. Then we'll talk playoffs. 
(IronicallY, that's once since the Pats' "squish the Phish campaign of 1985!....They're still reeling!)i believe seymore and washington were out alsoOh.....my.....God.The Broncos championship hopes rest squarely upon the mighty shoulders of Jake freakin' Plummer.I never thought I'd see the day.
at how well they are doing.
Why the hell do you watch, then? Winning the Lombardi trophy is a great achievement and any team that does it deserves great respect and recognition. It is perhaps one of the most difficult team achievements in all of sports and takes a great deal of both skill, luck, and just plain grit.I don't care who wins, I'll remember.1. Green Bay2.

Finally couple of Patriot fans WITH BRAINS!!!
face the reality...:rotflmao: :rotflmao:
Luck is the residue of design.
Heres another one..."Its better to be lucky than good." Ya...Ive heard them all, but there are only so many cliches one can use before "their luck finally runs out."
This works two ways. NE and Buffalo play early games in Miami, in the heat. I'd much rather have it the other way around, and the games be fair. But if NE plays in the heat, then Miami plays in the cold. NE hadn't one in September in Miami for as long as I can remember, same as with Miami in NE in December.
I don't know if you are aware of this, but there is this thing in football called defense. I know many watch a game and when a team has 1st and goal, the only thing they are worried about is WHO scores the touchdown(because of fantasy football), but some teams actually play defense and stop teams from scoring. You should check it out sometime.
Even though I think the Patriots are the best team in the NFL right now, a matchup against the Chiefs might be tough simply because New England doesn't have the personnel to exploit Kansas City's pathetic run defense. However, I would love to see what Belichick would do to shutdown Priest Holmes and Trent Green.
For the most part I agree:HOU in no way outplayed the Pats (check the stats).(MIA) Blocking a FG is not all luck but the missed FG was precipitated by a MIA rec stepping out of bounds before he caught a pass for a long gain and then landed out of bounds. It was also incredibly lucky for MIA that the refs missed both so the lucky miss by Mare that followed was justice.Indy not getting it into the end zone on their last 2 possesions inside our 12 was somewhat lucky but NE has a LOT of very good defensive players. Being so close takes some of Mannings advantage away and the end of the end zone worked to NE's favor.How lucky was Kevin Faulks fumble on his own 11 with 3 minutes to play?
I can't believe you said that or that you think there are plenty of QB's as good as Brady? I can understand a non Pats fan thinking that since they haven't had the luxury of watching every game but I thought you had seen most of his games and I can not believe you think there are plenty of him out there?I agree there a plenty of good QB's and there are SOME who may be as good or better than Brady but not many. Tom Brady is all that and if you don't think so then you haven't been paying attention
Actually, NO that wasn't me...I live in Ohio unfortunately, I have never been to Invesco for a Game, my first one will be in two weeks, I am pumped...against the browns!
I think Brady has the POTENTIAL to BECOME a Montana type figure, but he still throws the occasional ill-advised pass and goes through periods of being ineffective. Don't get me wrong, I think he's EASILY in the top 10 and arguably top 5, but I maintain he's got room to grow as a player.
i just call it like i see it.
That's ridiculous. The Pats Defense got the job done along with their special teams. Anyone who saw that game knows Brady threw 2 terrible INT's that led to the Colts comeback and Brady had numerous passes hit Colt defenders in the gut. He did not play well at all in that game.
guess he had nothing to do with that touchdown pass to regain the momentum in the 4th quarter right? and he did play well because they won. it was a team effort all the way but to make it seem like brady had nothing to do with it is well foolish.
if you disagree how about you show some guts and come up with your own reasons on who is better and not twist my words around.see?
The Patriots dropped about three potential interceptions from Manning too. Brady is very good. He threw some bad passes, no doubts, but so did Manning. The Colts defense just caught one more. One of the picks was behind the WR, one was a horrid decision. I think Brady will continue to get better as the Pats young receivers get better. T Brown and Patton were the two starting WRs to start the year, and both gone. Brady hasn't had a consistent set of WRs all year, and throwing to two that just signed a week and a half ago. Give any QB such turnover at the WR slot, and see how they do. Add in no real running threat, and Brady is playing great. I think you could argue he's a top 5 guy, certainly a top 10 QB.
Uh, I believe you had Plummer and Portis, and the whole team when you lost to the BEARS at Invesco. The freakin' Bears. Yes, you lost to the Freakin' Bears, and should have lost to the powerhouse Lions. The only playoff game the Broncos will sniff this season is with a ticket. ****************************In todays NFL, the teams are even by all accounts. What seperates the winner from the loser is making the plays in the 4th quarter, with the game on the line. Against TN, we scored and stopped the Titans. In Denver, we drove down the field and scored on the Broncos D, in their house, against their D, of which Kannell nor Portis never contribute. In HOuston, we took their best, and won the game in the 4th. What is the theme? With the game on the line, the Patriots (namely Tom Brady) step their game up and make plays to win. I love that Bronco fans complain about not having Plummer (futer HOF'er? NOT). We had 5 freakin' rookies start that game, with 2 of them in the secondary. Kannell is a former starter in the NFL. NOt only did we have 5 start, but we had 8 contribute in the game, and numerous second year players. Sorry, injuries are not an excuse. The Broncos D was intact, and they couldn't stop the Pats. Your Broncos are 7-5 and they've yet to beat a team with a winning record. Of their 7 wins, 4 are in the division over the Bolts and Raiders. Then they beat Detroit, the Bengals on opening day, and Pittsburgh. Plummer or no plummer, the Broncos cannot beat good teams, and only have 7 wins thanks to the scheduling gods. Just like the last 5 years Bronco fans, maybe next year.Amen!Btw, when the broncos make the playoffs and have to go to NE...what kind of excuse are you going to give us then :cough: matrix :cough:
Luck? A goal line stand is now luck?
They made a great Defensive stand. Championship teams make championship plays. And yes goal line stands to end the game qualify as championship type plays. Especially when you're the visiting team.Edited:Was it also luck to have to start 20 subs this year because of injuries? Was it luck that took Rosie Colvin after one game, the TEDS (washington and Johnson) for the bulk of the first 10 games? Face it, the Pats win, because they make the plays to win, while other falter, like the Broncos (see the Chiefs game, as well as the Pats, and the Colts last year), or the Colts, who failed to punch it in from the 1. Luck is the residue of design and preperation.
You'd best hope the donkeys don't meet us in the playoffs, lessin you wants Portis's neck to be snapped like a chicken. Ted Washington's got somethin for his boney ###.yea good bump, just LIKE I SAID, we would put a hurtin' on the chiefs and continue to roll all the way to the super bowl....an no im not jokin'yea the patriots won, but you played to dolphins who are 0-7 on the road the past 2 years in the month of december.
