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

[GoColts8818]

Nice tackle.

 

Peyton's not playing his best but still up 10-0 over Brady midway through the second quarter is the best spot Manning has ever been in the first half vs. a Brady lead team in the playoffs.

Sack attack.

[jvan1973]

terrible time for a sack...lol

[House]

So then why do you keep arguing what no one is arguing there? No one but you is arguing that that is the way they are calling it. Everyone else is saying the way they are calling it is wrong. That is a text book hold at least if not DPI even for the playoffs. It should have been flagged and my guess is win or lose there is going to be a NFL letter saying "yeah sorry we missed that one" to the Broncos.

I'm arguing what I'm arguing. I said I wasn't bothered by the no call. And people engaged me on that explaining how they thought it was too obvious not to call it. And then I said that it's the playoffs and penalties like that slide all the time. That's all that went down before you jumped in.

I'm not disputing it was a penalty. Only that they don't call penalties like that in the playoffs pretty regularly.

Crazy thought. If you disagree. Just don't engage me, or learn how to respectfully let a discussion reach an impasse. I'm entitled to my opinion as you are yours. It's okay to not agree

[GoColts8818]

Would be great for Manning to come down and get 6 and go to the lockerroom up 17-3 and get the ball to start the second half.

[jvan1973]

three minutes and three timeouts. Could be 17-3 at half

[coltsfansince65]

Give up FGs, Get TDs. That's how you win.

Watch number 50 he likes to trip people.

[House]

Pats look anemic out there. Denver needs to keep the pressure on, and keep scoring.

Don't give them a chance to wake up.

[House]

Allegedly...

Patriots look lost.

Well QBs at least, I don't think there is much danger in Manning scrambling lol.

[GoColts8818]

About time Manning got the better of BB for once!

[jvan1973]

You never know. He has legs like a giraffe, and can make long strides.

Go for it. Quarterback sneak.

[Fx Stryker]

This drive..it was a thing of beauty.

[coltsfansince65]

Dont like coming away with only 3.

[House]

Shoulda gone for it IMO.

[GoColts8818]

Nah get a 13-3 lead vs. Brady, don't want to do something silly that could take points off the board and maybe swing momentum in New England's way.  Keep in mind Denver will get the ball to start the second half too could make 16-3 or 20-3 then. 

[buffalo34]

Alright, let's see how the Denver D chokes to get the Pats into FG range.

[jvan1973]

Take the points, they get the ball back first in the second half. If they score a td on that drive, its a three score game

I get you hate the Patriots. But you need some new material.

True for some reason I couldn't remember who got the ball first.

I get that. Really. But two TDs and the Pats have the lead. Peyton was flawless that whole drive. I would have put it in his hands.

Pats are dangerous. Best to knock them out early in my opinion.

Commentators. "Good throw away by Brady..." Ummm, it looked like a bad pass to me guys.

[Dustin]

again i say it:

 

Brady's deep accuracy is awful.

[coltsfansince65]

Is it me or does Brady's deep passes not look very accurate?

[Poster X]

Halftime.

[jvan1973]

Peyton has to be confused being ahead against belichick at halftime in the playoffs

[coltsfansince65]

Posted the same thing at the same time.

[FanFromtheWasteland]

Is anybody else getting sick if the Brady love fest by the announcers?

Brady's missile has been a dud so far.

Someone has to massage the ego of the NFL's Manchurian candidate.

[jvan1973]

I'm guessing this thread would be full of pats fans if they were ahead

I've been sick of the Brady as deity worship for a long time......

[GoColts8818]

again Simms is on Team Brady today.

[Moose Of Woe]

Denver needs a TD to kick off the second half - can't give NE any life. If Denver lets NE hang around, it will come back to bite them.They don't make boneheaded mistakes and are great at capitalizing on others unlike SD. Can't have a second half defensive meltdown, either.

 

I was hoping Fox would have gone for it on 4th and 1, but not shocked that he didn't given who he is. Can't stand the conservative play. Gotta go for the jugular.

 

On the plus side, at least the zebras are keeping it more or less fair. So far.

[GoColts8818]

Sad thing if things were reversed they would be talking about how Manning is choking again.

[House]

Naw. They're much too mature for gloating.

Oh wait...
