Open Game Thread: Patriots @ Broncos
New England Patriots at Denver Broncos, Oct 11, 2009 4:15 PM EDT

Student vs. Teacher. The chess match begins. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the AFL, both teams will be sporting their throwback uniforms. I love "Pat Patriot" and the jerseys are cool. Let's see how the backfield-by-committee steps up with yardage leader Fred Taylor sidelined with a bad ankle. Law Firm anyone?

That was horrible
After the kind of year Paps had, though, I shouldn’t be surprised he wouldn’t be able to close out a game in the postseason. He was starting to look like he’d worked all that out, and then this.

But who knows, with last minute regional coverage shifts. Right now I’m just getting studio highlights. Nice to see Matt Cassel hitting Vrabel for a TD the way Brady used to him with the Pats.

What Tuesday's practice should look like:
Brady and Moss need to practice the deep ball until they can connect 20 times in a row.
Mankins, Meriwether, and Warren need to run laps until they vomit. Then they need to run some more.
Maroney needs to come down with a phantom injury so he can be put out his misery on IR.
The entire defense needs to run tackling drills. All damn day.
