Post-Game Thread: Patriots 45 Broncos 10
The Patriots are moving on to the AFC Championship.
This evening against the Denver Broncos, the Patriots had their most dominating performance of the season, putting a full 60 minutes of football together for the first time all season in a dominating 45-10 win. The victory advances the Patriots to the AFC Championship. The Patriots will host the winner of the Houston Texans at Baltimore Ravens game next Sunday.
We'll post a full recap later, but what a dominating performance. The Patriots destroyed the Broncos in all three phases. Tom Brady had the greatest playoff game of his legendary playoff career: throwing for 363 yards and six touchdowns. Rob Gronkowski was on the receiving end of three of those touchdowns, with one apiece going to Deion Branch, Wes Welker, and Aaron Hernandez.
Defensively, the Patriots played in the 3-4 throughout, and shut down Tim Tebow and the Broncos offense completely. It seemed that the Patriots were shutting the Broncos down in the backfield every play. They gang tackled, went for the ball, applied pressure, and covered receivers. What a turnaround for that unit.
Feel free to use this thread to discuss your thoughts on the game!

That was an amazing game- defense, special teams, offense all came out on top of their game

Yep, cheap shot
he’s young, hopefully he learns from that mistake
Winners of a post-season game for the first time in too long.
Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez, and oh man that defense!
What a fantastic night!!!

The defense was intense and disciplined, and Brady was on target all night. I would watch this game again if I could. It was such a beautiful win.

Having Spikes back is huge.
McCourty looks better, Chung helps, and Moore is surprising. The biggest thing, though, is that the D-Line is dominant. Get Carter back, and it’s even better.
Really, it’s been all uphill since we lost Haynesworth.

I don't want Carter as a DE. Rather have him as an OLB.
He is not a 3-4 End. lol And I want to stick with the 3-4.

But it’s so hard to tell what a good performance against the Donks means in the bigger picture. That’s a really horrible offense, after all.

I feel happy for the defense
I pretty much expected Brady to put up some big numbers (though maybe not THAT big), but this was probably the best defensive game of the year. They’ve been showing some signs in the past few weeks, and this week they finally put it all together. Hopefully they can bottle the confidence from this game and have another couple strong performances.

Among the people who watched the first game, there could have been very little doubt.
We knew the Pats could shut down the Broncos offense. I was just surprised at how uneven the scales were in this game, and how much of it had to do with an outstanding defensive effort. Setting like five offensive records at a team or NFL level was just icing.
That is the kind of game that makes watching football fun
Very relaxing and enjoyable with the good guys winning.
Yeah, we had two tonight
I was whooping it up when Brady punted!
the defense had only 1 bad game

The pass rush today is what struck me...
I had not seen the Patriots so effortlessly find penetration since 2006. It seemed like the DEs could have pitched a tent in the backfield all night. If the Pats can do the same against Baltimore or Houston’s O-line, that will be good news considering their shaky quarterbacks (admittedly, I think Yates > Flacco at this point although Flacco has a fair bit of experience against Belichick).

If he passes it’s classless, if we run for a first down it’s classless, if he punts it’s classless. Ridiculous. I guess we should have given the Broncos the ball at the one, that’s the only classy thing to do.
You must personally run to your own end zone, place the ball on the goal line, and then wait.
That is the only classy move up 45-10

I’ll take 11 players with heart on the field over 11 guys with just talent. Talent is fleeting, it goes away over time. Heart is what drives you to be better. To push yourself beyond what you think your capabilities are. To show us that when you strive, all things are possible.- SMP
Moore was an UDFA for the Raiders first. XD

Members from MHR have been classy this week
If you go over there, I ask you to treat their members with the same respect you would treat Patriots fans here at Pats Pulpit. The mods over there are already going to have plenty of trouble on their hands with the Tebow trolls.
So, be respectful when you go there. If you’re not, you’ll be held accountable for your actions at Pats Pulpit at well.
Conversing with class commencing Captain Greg!
Almost a tongue twister… lol
