Freaking Broncos
 

This game is going to make me puke. So far Denver had 3rd and 14 at the 47 and threw a pass tipped by about 3 Patriots before it was caught by Denver for a first down. That drive led to a Denver FG.

Ghost missed a 40 yarder. I wouldn't normally point this out, but he's just the best kicker in the NFL, kicking in freaking Denver, and he already hit one from 53.

And Brady has two overthrows of Moss, one of which would have been a TD (tough pass though) and the other was an easy first down on a third down play (Randy was wide open) that would have put us in FG position.

:Lin: We'll see what happens, but honestly. :Lin:

I figured it would be close... I hate our kicker... the home kicker shouldn't miss a 48 yarder in Denver.

The defense is playing well for Denver and I like the production of the 'wild horses' formation. We'll see what happens.

The Broncos are way better than I thought, but I still think they are playing way over their heads. We'll see...

That would be frustrating, but Gostkowski is not the best kicker in the NFL.

Does every team have to play like ass against Denver? **** football these days. At least Im not a k-state fan....but I am a UT hater:(

Running into the kicker cost the Donx field position and possession.

It's the dumbest ****ing penalty in the NFL.

Pats get lucky. Denver forces a 3 and out deep in Pats territory, looking to get the ball back at the 50 or better. Running into the kicker! Pats first down.

We started stuffing the Wild Horses, so they stopped using it.

You've been spoiled by Elam. 48 is tough even in Denver.

Sometimes its chintzy, but the kicker really is completely helpless and exposed. If they allowed him to get hit, it might become a strategy to nail an opposing punter, especially if he was a good punter within your division.

All in all, it's been a rule since the dawn of time, and I really can't see getting rid of it.

They don't use it when Moreno is out... he was dinged up and is back, it's more him than what NE did.

:shrug: Sez you. He was 2008 All Pro player, Pro Bowler, and he has a tremendously strong leg, rarely misses, and has kicked very well in multiple playoff games. I certainly wouldn't take anyone over him.

Ah, ok.

Big 3rd down here.

Big stop by Denver. Nicely defenesd, I hate to admit. I hate that play call when it doesn't work, of course, but I've seen it work often enough to know I shouldn't complain.

Wait -- oh lordy. Denver penalty. Wow. Ok, maybe I should withdraw my luck complaints. Denver is imploding on this drive.

Matt Light being hurt won't help any.

Pats are trying to run on them -- so far with limited success. Guess we'll see.
