Glad for the win, but much respect for New England

So I just wanted to thank you guys for the back-and-forth this week.  It has been a real joy to cross-blog with your fans.  I was planning on making a post whether we won or lost, so this definitely isn't a trash-talk cause we won type thing.  Good luck to your team the rest of the season.

I feel like the Broncos were very fortunate to pull this win out.  They've been playing this kind of ball all year and if they don't straighten it out, we are going to lose because of their poor play at the beginning of the games.  It is like we are still playing pre-season ball in the first quarter, then they start putting stuff together.  I am thankful for the adjustments and how the defense plays super tough in the 2nd half of games, but man!

NE defense:  I really thought you guys did a good job stopping the run in the 2nd half.  We were able to get some timely gains here and there, but it looked to me like NE forced us to go to the passing game.  Orton really had to work in the passing game too...for all the trash people sling at him for being a mediocre quarterback, he sure was placing the ball well today and in some very tight spots.  Your pass defense I felt was superb on several plays where Orton just threw a pass to the perfect spot where only his WR could realisticly get it.

NE Offense:  This is where I think Denver got really REALLY lucky.  Brady missed bad on two throws that would have been easy EASY touchdowns.  If he makes either of those passes (one to Moss on a deep post and one to Welker on a deep crossing route), we lose.  No way was Denver going to be able to make up that many points against your defense.  Also, I thought our defense did an outstanding job keeping NE from making 1st downs after our Special Teams got the two penalties towards the end (showing just how "special" they could be).  I really thought Brady was going to go right down the field and at least get a FG putting the game out of reach.

Well played and again, thanks and good luck!
