Denver Upsets Pittsburgh in OT; Patriots to Host Broncos in Divisional Playoffs

Terrible play from both sides. As bad as the Patriots’ defense can be, at least the play calling isn’t quite so suspect as that.

I would rather loose to Tebow then Ben.

I really wish I went to church today

Patriots have to run to ball well early to stay on the field. Poor starts can’t happen in January. Run well early and Tom will do the rest. Call me crazy, but I also feel that the Broncos will have a let down after this win.

We get to interact with Mile High Report this week. I don’t know about you guys, but the most fun I had this whole season interacting with another team’s fanbase was with MHR. Very lively bunch.

Pittsburg was playing the run way to much and got burned numerous times.

My dad: “We [Patriots] are going to rape Tebow so hard we are going to take his virginity”

That Tebow deserves to finally get laid?

The broncos believe they can win no matter what, they annihilated the ne defense for a quarter before making some dumb, but unlikely to be repeated mistakes, and they have a legitimately good defense that can pressure Brady without blitzing too much. Plus, while I would hope they learned their lesson, the team was clearly overconfident last year after their beatdown of the jets. Id rather not see a repeat.

Ultimately, if this team was as bloodless and ruthless as the 2004 or 07 ones, I wouldnt be worried, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t pretty concerned about a young team playing without the momentum, possibly starting slow, and being unable to catch up without some Denver turnovers.

That said, I second the mhr compliments, a very good blog.

Josh should be able to help destroy the pick that destroyed his coaching career.

men u will see me tomm ne is the better team and 9 out of 10 times u beat Denver but as u know in the playoffs its about who is hot the key to the whole game is 1 can we cover your TE’S and can we hold u under 30 points and can Denver play near pefcet football for at least a half

808 do u watch listen to fegler and mazz good stuff the only bad thing is i cant watch it for athother week because other than fegler the tebow hate by mazz and other ne football writeer on comast payroll is sad i am talker about gasper parillo Wiggins i mean i get that NE pats pay them but rooting saying that he will fail sit up bad juju over and over anyway gonk is a monster if your D improves to avarge in the D Backfileld CB/S u can win it all

It seems like home field advantage will play a large role in this upcoming game. Much more so than if we had played the Steelers. Tebow was throwing it pretty well today though, so I’m definitely not counting them out yet. We’ve seen the Pats D make plenty of non-elite QBs look like Peyton Manning in his prime after all.

Pats offense, please please don’t turn the ball over. Pats defense, hopefully you manage to start this game decently well and just keep working to do your jobs.

But I have to say I while I was rooting for the Broncos (because I can’t stand the Steelers, don’t care about their “Stairway to Seven” quest, and did NOT want to hear about Big Ben the ‘warrior’ all week long) I realized early on that playing the Steelers wouldn’t be so bad at all.

McDaniels attended John Carroll University, where he played football, primarily as a wide receiver, from 1995 to 1998. Though a quarterback in high school, he was beaten at that position at John Carroll by Nick Caserio, who joined the Patriots staff in 2001 (the same year as McDaniels). His other teammates included London Fletcher, now a linebacker for the Washington Redskins, and Brian Polian, the special teams coach at Stanford.

made great 2nd half adjustments and shut that scheme down. Also for this game, they have Chung and Spikes who should/will assist the run defense. Branch will also be back for this game. Neither of those 3 guys were their in the 1st game this season. Just a thought!

reminder: in the post game handshake in Denver last month Tom Brady told Tim: “we’ll see you again”. The Prophet meets the Messiah Saturday

on here But do not give us a 21-0 lead like u did buff because u might not come back i have watched NE a lot this year and i noticed that as good as they are they are prone to starting slow and other than @ buff Denver seems to play better on the road anyway if u beat us and the ravens most likely can u handed no or gb

and their secondary isnt all that great besides Ed Reed
