Does anyone here give either team much of a chance against NE? Barring some miracle I think PIT gets slaughtered and Den can keep them to 24 or so, but DEN's "offense" will be the death of them.

Not if the game is in NE. If the Pats have to go to Denver I think the Broncos can beat them.

[Moose Of Woe]

Of course it bounces PIT's way.

[SkyBane]

that was moronic to try and field

[oldunclemark]

That's a horrible platy by Whaton..so lucky

[coltsfansince65]

They have to win this one first however.

[oldunclemark]

  No turnovers.....Bronco D needs to put some extra heat on Ben here to try for one

With Gronk and Edelman both out there? Den has a a good D but I don't see them shutting down that offense with those two out there. DEN will need to score at least 24. For a team that is allergic to FINISHING DRIVES I don't know....

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

You have to sit peyton if he doesn't push te ball downfield on the next drive. He can't make throws anymore.

[Moose Of Woe]

I swear if DEN goes in to zone here....

 

"With zone you don't give up the big play."

"Den gives up 4 big plays in zone."

I was just thinking the same thing.  I don's see either of these teams holding their own against the Patriots.

[Moose Of Woe]

Wow they're sticking with what works. Thank god.

Doesn't matter who is playing qb if the WRs don't hold onto the ball

[oldunclemark]

3 and out.....just what Denver needed

[Gramz]

Good Defense there...  Now if the Offense can learn to catch a ball

[Moose Of Woe]

Offense. Wake the hell up and pull your damned weight. Zero excuses for this level of ineptitude at the professional level with GREAT FIELD POSITION for the FOURTH time tonight.

 

This defense has dragged you kicking and screaming all season. You'd be a 3-13 team if this D were even mediocre. DO YOUR DAMN JOBS. BLOCK and CATCH. Get separation!

[oldunclemark]

Got to take a long shot here.....its set up get a big grab or pass interference..

.....Pitt defense has stayed strong.....but only one deep test

[oldunclemark]

   wouldnt mind seeing Sanders run a reverse either

    

[Moose Of Woe]

Good start!

[Moose Of Woe]

Someone got the stickum.

[Gramz]

3 first downs in a row... hopefully the tide is turning...

[Moose Of Woe]

Awesome.
 Now FINISH.THE.DRIVE.

 

No stupid tipped/dropped passes for an INT, no FUMBLES, JUST DO IT.

 

Or just blow your block and get 18 killed. Nice work.

[oldunclemark]

Anderson had no chance blocking James Harrison...sack

[Moose Of Woe]

I swear if this is another field goal....

Awful matchup.

[Susie Q]

Their line isn't much better than the Colts. line.  

[Moose Of Woe]

If Denver wants any chance of winning they need to get a TD on this drive. Gift after gift of starting field position..... You can only have too many missed oppurtunities until you blow the game.

Mod Note

If you wonder where some of your posts have gone I've had to do a tidy of this topic, some have been removed because they were quoting posts that were against the rules so apologies if yours are included.

 

I know it's game time and people are excited and emotional but can we tone down the language (asterisked out or not) and be aware that this is a forum that is probably going to have a lot of people rooting for Manning tonight. Let's all try and place nice.

Besides it's midnight here nearly and I want to go to bed

Nothing wrong with a fg.  They are only down 4

Of Course but you can't expect to beat new england without the ability to throw the ball down the field 10 yards, accurately. 

[oldunclemark]

WR screen to Demariyus Thomas..a safe play.....you need the FG on 4th if you don't make it

He hit sanders for 19 on the last drive.

The team needs to finish drives. If they win tonight, these field goal fests won't cut it against the best overall teams. (NE/CAR/ARZ)

The only thing they need to worry about is tonight.    Next week is next week

[oldunclemark]

Threw it away  wasn't open...The kicker McManus is saving them..13-12.

 

Just need one good drive

[Susie Q]

Why not just concentrate on one game at a time please.

He can throw it within 20 yards just fine. Anything past that is a crapshoot.

 

The problem is a plague of the dropsies.

Yup. One Play. Don't Play stubborn please, we're both watching the same game here. 

[JCPatriot]

Do you consider bringing Osweiler in?  I know it hasn't been all Manning as the receivers have dropped a lot of passes, but Manning has also missed some receivers and thrown some wobbly ducks.  Maybe a stronger arm would be more effective in this wind.

[oldunclemark]

Nic e1st down call...no blitz

The strongest arm in the world means squat when the receiver is going to drop it anyway.

 

Manning had some misses, but still a better option than Brock tonight.
