Football Broncos @ Patriots - Page 4

Mile High Mania · 01-13-2012, 11:36 AM

I know there's a bit of 'over load' on a certain topic, but it's Friday...

First off, I'm not expecting a Broncos' victory on Saturday night. I do think that Denver can be productive against the Patriots' defense, but they're going to need another solid game across the board.

Run with the consistency and passion that they had in the earlier game this season, mix in passing that we saw last week ... and DO NOT turn the ball over. If they do this, then yes Denver can score 21-30 points on this defense.

The big challenge is Denver's defense. They cannot allow Brady to sit back there and pick them apart. They need to mix up their looks and pressure Brady early and often. Denver has the defense that can do what's necessary to win, but it will be by far their toughest challenge of the year.

At the very least, I'm hoping for a close and competitive game. Denver has to force NE into punting situations early...

The non-homer in me says Patriots 34 / Denver 24
The cautiously optimistic fan in me says Denver 30 / Patriots 27

I do think we'll see a better game that many expect. Everything at this point to me is gravy, I never viewed it as a reality at any point in the season.

After two one and done in the play-offs I'm sold on the Pats taking everything seriously and I would not be surprised to see an ass kicking of epic proportions and not just from Brady and company but the Pats defense as well.Plus I'll back up that statement by saying I'm quite sure Belicheck has watched plenty of film and he didn't have to go too far back (week 16) to see what TT is capable of in a hostile environment and getting his cage rattled.

My prediction is a lot like that week 16 game embedded below,good first half that keeps everyone glued to the game and then after some halftime adjustments by Belicheck and staff the wheels come off.

New England will definitely be bringing their A Game! But so will Denver!

Remember that last time New England got 10 points off of turnovers! Plus one more fumble that they didn't score from. The score might have been a lot different if you could take one TD away from the Patriots and give it to Denver!

If there are no silly foul ups by the Broncos, this could be a close game! But if Denver messes up with fumbles and interceptions, it's all over!

Like everyone has been saying already, if Denver can get some early pressure and Tebow can get enough points on the board to keep things from getting out of hand, who knows? I really think that all of Denver's defense will have to come from their front since their secondary sucks.

I hate to admit it, but Tebow has won me over. It was tough because he's a stinkin' Donkey, but I've always loved a good underdog story. And let's face it, Tebow trying to be an NFL QB is a real underdog story.

He's starting to remind me of a modern day Joe Kapp...

People need to get it though.. Tebow has never been an underdog. He is one of if not the best college QB of all time.

tebow sucks

Hate the Donkeys, Love the Tebow.

We must stand up and protect the Patriot way anyways, were stuck with their rejects so hopefully we can poach someone from the team after the championship season.

Tebow stumbles into the Super Bowl where he goes 1-23 with 6 INTs, five of them returned for touchdowns.

Noticed this thread doesn't have the "****Official**** in it for a game day thread. Was that your way not to jinx the Donks?

If true, brilliant. Yet I would hate to use that word to go with a Donko fan.

It's not impossible for them to create havoc for Brady... but, they'll need nothing short of their A-Game.

The fact that you don't blind yourself with all the t e b o w hype and grind it into everyone and give credit where do makes your analysis worthy.

Personally, I don't think the game will be that close. The Denver D has gotten the donks where they are. If they play just average, the Pats win big. If they overachieve, I still would put my money on BB/Brady.

Good luck to you as a fan.
