Football Amnorix - it's time for the Hoodie Bowl

Mile High Mania · 10-05-2009, 09:23 AM

Yeah, yeah... this is a Chiefs' board, but I wanted to stir something up with the resident NE fan. I definitely like the location of this game and it has to be nothing but a solid advantage for Denver. If Dallas was favored by a FG, I'm guessing NE will be favored by at least 6-7 points.

It is what it is, but if Denver's defense plays like they have in the first 4 games... then it's going to be a close game and one that Denver could actually win. Can they go 5-0? That's a tall freaking order, but they're slowly getting more aggressive on offense and defensively, they're going to be tested for 4 straight quarters with NE.

The realists in me says Denver will not go 5-0... something has to give and Denver will lose a number of games this year, but I'm very optimistic about their chances of winning if they can put the pressure on Brady like they did with Romo.

Amnorix - what do you think of this matchup? Oh, and the rest of you can chime in as well... this will be an interesting chess match between teacher and pupil.

From what I remember, the Broncos always seem to give New England fits.

5-0 isn't out of the question for Denver, IMRO.

No that it means anything in the game coming up, but we flat out own the Patriots, period.

You seem to have forgotten the most recent game between our teams. Surprising, since it was on a Monday night and all.

Let me help you refresh your memory:

I remember it. I also know we have your coach that made it happen for you offensively. It should be a good game and your team could definately win the game, but lets not act like your team is some kind of juggernaut that's unstoppable.

Right. Belichick just sat there and watched while Weis and McDaniels did their thing. Without them, he's helpless. If only he understood how to play offensive football.

I humbly suggest that the Patriots have far more unstoppable juggernaut potential than the Broncos. Whether potential becomes reality has yet to be determined.

I remember there used to be a three-way ownagefest several years back.

The Patriots owned the Colts.
The Broncos owned the Patriots.
The Colts owned the Broncos.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

The Donkeys are an aberration. They will come down to earth. I'd make the Pats about a 8-9 point favorite.

Mile High Mania · 10-05-2009, 09:45 AM

Denver has a solid W/L record overall vs NE... 24 wins and 16 losses overall.

NE thumped Denver in 2008 in NE. DEN defeated NE in 2006 in NE and twice in 2005, once in the regular season and once in the playoffs - both in Denver.

Denver could have an advantage over the Patriots in the coaching department this week. McDaniels knows everything about Tom Brady and the strengths and weakness of that offense.

Belichick knows McDaniels well, but he doesn't know our players and their strengths and weakness.

This will be an interesting sideline chess match.

After almost 8 years of game film, I'd imagine the entire league knows everything they need to know about Tom Brady.

That doesn't mean you stop him.

And laugh out freaking loud at the comment that McDaniels might have the coaching edge over Belichick.

There is no way you believe the things you type on here.

Who would know more about a team....

Someone who coached that team for 8 years?

Or someone who played them once every 4 years?

McDaniels would know more than anyone what Tom Brady struggles against. He was his QB Coach after-all.

McDaniels is one of the smartest coaches in the NFL. Mike Shanahan was great at coming up with a gameplan to start out hot early in the game, but he rarely made adjustments at halftime and we almost always started out slowly in the 3rd Quarter.

McDaniels has been EXCELLENT at adjusting on the fly especially after halftime.

You're kidding, right? Belichick has been an NFL coach since 1976, the year that McDaniels was BORN. I'm thinking that Belichick MIGHT come up with a way to try to deal all the wrinkles McDaniels comes up with.

I also note that I'm sure his Ratness had no words of advice regarding his former players when he visited the Hooded One back during the Pats' training camp. I mean, it's not like they're friends and BB knew the Broncos were on the schedule or anything...

Is it wrong to wish for a meteor shower to hit the field during the game?

I'm cool with just a single large meteor.
