Football 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.

We'll see what happens, but honestly.

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.

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

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

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

Ah, ok.

Big 3rd down here.

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.

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.

I would most definitely take Rob Bironas over him.

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

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

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.

I have no problem with roughing the kicker. That's a legit penalty if there is unnecessary roughness. However, I do think that a waft of air that changes the direction of his tampon string should not be a penalty.

Presumably you're not talking about this particular penalty, because the guy hit his leg spinning him around.

I agree that it does sometimes get called when it's the faintest of brushes. For good or for bad, though, the rule is clear. No touch.

I'm wondering about all these roughing the passer calls. Brady got a pass off earlier today when he was nearly wrapped up by DJ Williams, and I wonder if Williams didn't ease up on how hard he could have hit him because he was worried about the penalty. That isn't how football should be played.
