I can't stomach NE, but certain players I really do admire their greatness/heart/skill/whatever. Guys like (formerly) Welker and currently Edelmann and Gronk. Plus a few defensive guys like Ninkovich who is criminally underrated.

Gronk is a meathead.

He intentionally tried to injure Sergio Brown.

I dislike him. And this play was freaking celebrated.

I didn't put any of it on Wade. That always happens at the ends of these games. Look at the CJ Anderson TDs. He was untouched on the first 2, barely touched on the 3rd which was the same play as 1 of the previous TDs. So why didn't he get any touches the 40 times they were in the redzone in between? And that FG...it yielded a 4 pt difference. You still needed a touchdown to win the game. All the FG did was subtract 1 more chance at a TD. The Broncos deserved that less than the Packer the night of the Freeman catch lol! But not because of the players...mad respect for them pulling that out.

Finally the Patriots have problems for a change, possibly losing Gronk for the season (which I don't wish on anyone's fanbase as I stated but most Pats didn't cry when we lost Andrew) and they lost a game. Let their fanbase squirm a little like we have with losing Andrew for a while and losing some games we should've won. Doesn't taste so good does it LOL

8:30 EST....Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth on NBC

Mid-20s with light winds...over-under 43.5

Pivotal game of the AFC season....matching AFC East and West leaders

Seems certain to be a low-scoring game because both teams have so many injured offensive players.

The under is a good call and Denver, which is going to be very conservative and field goal friendly, is a better bet if you can get 3 points

Half right....the 'under' was a loser...but Denver (+3) is a winner

Two things:

1 - I hope Gronk is fine.

2 - Brady is a crying little girl and needs to be penalized for yelling at the refs like that.

He really does whine to the refs A LOT.   I hate bad calls... but today I was amused that Patriots got a couple of questionable calls.

Gronkowski was walking around in the hallway...cant be that bad

 

Has he had an MRI yet? I hope he is fine but still......I mean a few years ago they were saying Reggie Wayne was walking around all fine and the next night we got doom. So I can never tell anymore with this stuff really.

 

If Gronk escaped a huge injury here of some sort he is truly lucky. He looked in a lot of pain to me.

 

But, yeah this is a huge wait and see situation for the AFC as a whole with Gronk. I can't really see the Pats going to the SB without Gronk let alone winning it.

 

Odd tonight too since normally in snow games NE catches fire. I was impressed by Denver.

As long as they have Edelman for the playoffs, they have a shot at winning it all even without Gronk. Getting Amendola back is big, too but not as much as Edelmann.

The loss of Gronk is substantial.

Indeed, did read this morning that they don't think his injury is that serious. It looked pretty bad, guess we will find out.

    • So play great coverage, let the rush get there... but what about when you play Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar, etc.?    And your next line seems contradictory. QBs are less accurate under pressure, but you prioritize playing coverage...? Your final line is true, they're dependent on each other, but if I had to choose between great pass rush and average coverage, or great coverage and average pass rush, I think I'm choosing great pass rush. I want to affect the QB, because all of my coverage will get a boost. Of course, it would be nice to be great at both.   Regarding pressures vs sacks, yes, context is needed. But it's pointless to try to reduce the topic down to the bolded. Sacks are obviously more important than pressures because they end the play, whereas the outcome from a pressure can range from really good (sack/turnover) to really bad (big play/TD). But pressures are still important, and pressure is cumulative. And on a fundamental level, you cannot get a sack if you don't get pressure. Being dismissive about pressures is somewhat myopic.
    • Really good info.   Thanks for sharing 
    • I hate it. People are still suffering money wise from inflation, and streaming used to be an alternative, but now it’s just as expensive to have all of these services to the point we’ll have to switch back to cable just to save money.    The consumer just never wins…
    • Of course.   I don’t think I disagree.   But I think Ballard knows his players and if/when to gamble on bringing them back.     Not sure I follow your comment about the draft behind him with Pierce be the same as pass rusher?   Can you elaborate?  
    • Last year was brutal for you?   Seriously?   Last year was one of the most enjoyable seasons of my 12+ years of Colts fandom!   A season where the Colts exceeded expectations while playing their backup quarterback.  Watching Steichen coach the heck out of this team!   A real pleasure.  Honestly.    And given the nature of how negative things are around here I’ll share a thought that I fully expect to get laughed at over… Ballard didn’t take the job over Luck.  Ballard took the job over Irsay.   I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Irsay, who had been a GM, then hired Bill Polian,  then Ryan Grigson who got exec of the year one year, then Ballard who also got executive of the year one year.   I don’t believe in coincidences like that.   Irsay knows the complexities of the job.   When Ballard took the job it wasn’t clear what was happening with Luck?   The one constant was Irsay.    Plenty of decisions were made with the trio…. Irsay, Ballard and Reich.     After the Luck retirement the Colts were in win-now mode.  They had a young team built to win and weren’t going to tell them the team was going to be in re-build mode for 2-4 years while a young quarterback learned on the job.     Things look obvious in hind sight.  The Colts plans were known in real time and they made what they felt were the only decisions that they could.   Try to win every year.  And part of the reason Ballard hasn’t been fired is that Irsay approved of those plans, he signed off on them.     Im sorry you may not watch this year.  Steichen is a really sharp guy.  Fun to watch.   I hope you’ll reconsider.
