New England (+4.5) @ Denver (1-19-14)

[Rob Lowe]

Go Broncos! Today I'm a huge Bronco fan. Got a Denver hat on, even... All in support of the General, and my all time favorite player Peyton Manning.

[amazingcolts]

Get a stop here!!!

[runthepost]

3 and out

[amazingcolts]

HAHAHAHAHAH

[runthepost]

Bobble the ball

[Rob Lowe]

Manning let us all down

[Fx Stryker]

Can't have Moreno having negative plays. Beadles completely missed his block.

[amazingcolts]

Good stop. Now we need points.

[buffalo34]

Is a 5-second rule good enough after a Brady incompletion after 3rd down? That's how long I hold my breath in anticipation of a flag....

[jvan1973]

no PI call there on JT?

[GoColts8818]

A call going New England's way, I am shocked!!!

[Fx Stryker]

Peyton missed that throw. I think it slipped.

[GoColts8818]

Well this is the first time Manning's team has scored first against Brady in the playoffs.

[GoColts8818]

Someone tell Phil Simms to take his Pats hat off.  Jim Nantz pretty much pointed out exactly what everyone else who isn't a Pats fan is thinking. 

[Dustin]

Brady's deep accuracy is terrible.

[jvan1973]

Brady missed the wide open edelman...lol

[House]

That no call didn't bother me really.

[GoColts8818]

So 63 degrees in Denver, so so defenses beaten up by injury and two of the best QBs in the game.  A 3-0 game with less than a minute to go in the first quarter is what everyone saw coming right?

[colts_mp]

Neither team getting a pass rush.

[Dustin]

Nice OPI.

[jvan1973]

That no call didn't bother me really.

It was the absolute definition of pass interference

[Dustin]

ha called it.

[GoColts8818]

It was the absolute definition of pass interference

or at least defensive holding. 

[Fx Stryker]

DRC down. Not good, at all.

[House]

It's the playoffs. They let a lot more go.

Both teams are being allowed to be physical.

We just heard the dumbest comment by a commentator in NFL history when talking about a Tom Brady pass... "Sometimes he throws the ball so well it goes further than he intended." They guys don't even try to be good anymore when calling games.

It makes me sad that I don't have a job just saying whatever comes instantly to my brain.

the rules shouldn't change in the playoffs. He never turned to look for the ball and had ahold of both arms.

They shouldn't but they do.

There is being physical and then there is ignoring clear cut penalties.  That was the later.  I am with Jvan1973 rules shouldn't change just because it's the playoffs.  Also, the league came out and said in the last round they were telling their refs to call it like they did during the season.  That should have been flagged.  Will it end up being a big deal?  Time will tell.

Sims is clearly on team Brady today.

I understand little things... maybe a little pushing, but not holding both arms. Refs have been bad all season so there is that.

We can debate how it should be all day. And we will likely agree. But the refs always call things differently in the playoffs. It's not new. Or even exclusive to the NFL.

It doesn't make it right, that was a clear missed call. 

[buffalo34]

Comeon Thomas, literally right in the chest, gotta catch that...

[House]

I mean they let clear holding in the end zone happen in the SB last year, and it was justified repeatedly by saying "They won't call that in the playoffs."

It's not right, or smart, but I'm sure the Broncos will take advantage of the lax officiating just as the Pats have.

[jvan1973]

Talib down. that would be a huge loss for the pats

[House]

It doesn't make it right, that was a clear missed call.

I never said it makes it right, but it is what it is. They either blew the call, or are allowing the defenders to be ultra physical.

Neither would suprise me in the slightest.

[GoColts8818]

Wow, he got away with that one but it looked special lol

[House]

Ugly ugly pass.
