***Week 6*** Denver at New England -7.5 (44.5) (1 Viewer)

[Ministry of Pain]

Experts are predicting a lower score in this one. 

 

[Ministry of Pain]

6-0 Early 2nd, not a lot of chatter here, slow plodding game so far.

Denver 4...New England 1

 

[Buffaloes]

Drew Lock has zero pocket presence again today

 

[Pip's Invitation]

McManus the only player helping for fantasy in this game.

Drew Lock has zero pocket presence again today

I disagree.  He took one costly sack where the pressure came up the gut with no warning. 

Ive been think in the opposite actually - Lock looking impressive - he's mobile, getting the ball out quickly, and throwing deep.  What we really need is an intermediate passing game -slants, shallow crossers, etc.  I assume that's what Belichick has taken away this week.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Drew Lock has zero pocket presence again today

I didn't like how he started going down to a knee on the sack, he's going to get hurt the way he got bent under the defender, he's opening himself up to injury.

that is how he has been hurt 2x already. not just taking sacks, but having no idea how to go down on a sack or hit.

he is still drifting to the right and bailing the pocket too much in addition to taking that massive sack that McAnus bailed him out on.

A guy with Rypien's poise and mind to go with Lock's skills set. Boom.

BTW, I keep hearing these announces bemoan the pats injuries while ignoring Denver has more payroll on IR than the rest of the league.

 

[IHEARTFF]

NE looks awful

 

[Ministry of Pain]

That looked like it had to hurt like hell, the Sack on Drew Lock

 

[Ministry of Pain]

And then he throws a wobbly but full force pass up the sidelines, that's impressive after a terrible looking sack.

ok, that was a heck of a pass

 

[Anarchy99]

NE looks awful

The Patriots looks like a team that had a ton of opt outs, injuries, guys on the COVID list, and haven’t practiced for 2 weeks. 

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Gene just looked at Gilmore hold on the Replay and said he didn't see him holding as he clearly has his hands on the Receiver...I didn't learn nothing except that these Ref cut ins to the booth are a total waste of time

 

[Buffaloes]

The Patriots looks like a team that had a ton of opt outs, injuries, guys on the COVID list, and haven’t practiced for 2 weeks. 

and are playing against a team that has had opt outs, injuries, a QB coming off injury, and had its entire schedule upset by the patriots. the excuses don't really fit here.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

DENVER 5

NewEng 1

Not really meant to be excuses. Just the way things are in the 2020 season. At least Denver was able to practice for two weeks preparing for NE (and it shows).

fair enough, and you are 100% right on the bolded

Nobody feels the slightest bit bad for New England but by all means keep whining.  You'll eventually persuade everybody that way.

Missing best pass rusher, WR, CB, TE, and (in theory) RB. 

Eta: DL too (in theory)

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Of course, the first three quarters only exist to set the stage for New England's inevitable 16-15 victory.  (They'll go for two on the second TD, which fails just to emphasize how badly Denver has let them hang around).

sounds like the usual Fangio-era script

 

[Buffaloes]

*McAnus*

 

[PennStater77]

Newton looks bad

 

[Buffaloes]

Newton looks bad

this is how he plays vs Denver

but usually it's because Von is blowing his stuff up. Von's not even playing in this one

 

[moleculo]

*McAnus*

It's been a long time since I called him that.  He is McMANus these days.

 

[Buffaloes]

It's been a long time since I called him that.  He is McMANus these days.

if i call him McManus he misses. it's a loving nickname at this point.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Denver 6

NewEng 1

And Denver threatening to score more

 

[moleculo]

if i call him McManus he misses. it's a loving nickname at this point.

What ever you are doing, don't stop now.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

I think that should have been a first down.  Admittedly close.

 

[IHEARTFF]

NE punter looks like he’s been practicing 

 

[brun]

I think that should have been a first down.  Admittedly close.

Thought it was worth a challenge.

 

[Buffaloes]

Denver primed for another 4th Q collapse here

 

[GroveDiesel]

Cam is that entire offense.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Can Denver please not piss this away?

Edit: Apparently not.

 

[Buffaloes]

Can Denver please not piss this away?

this is what they do. like clockwork.

 

[GroveDiesel]

WTF is Denver doing!? Two straight deep passes to the same guy that are picked off? It’s just about the only thing you CAN’T do on offense at that point.

 

[Buffaloes]

these guys were so dumb to beat the jets. Lock with another Drew Lock decision the past 2 drives

 

[billmatic]

Drew Lock clearly a Pats fan

 

[Ministry of Pain]

When did New England kick 3 Field Goals to make it 

Denver 6...New Eng 4

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Cam would make an interesting TE or Big size WR that breaks tackles on poor little DBs. 

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Collapse averted!

 

[Buffaloes]

ok, no INTs here Lock

 

[Buffaloes]

Newton remains winless against Denver btw

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Nice job by Denver to pull New England back to the rest of the pack and that #7 playoff spot continues to look like maybe 8-8/9-7 might get in. 

 

[GroveDiesel]

Collapse averted!

The Patriots are about to be 3rd in the division at the end of the day.
