Tom Brady looks furious. I suspect the AFC is in for a serious ass-kicking next year. Anyway, congratulations again Broncos. I'll be pulling for you, or anybody but the Colts, the rest of the way.

Does the boast "More people watch the NFL on CBS than on any other network" really have anything to do with CBS? Isn't it the fact that the AFC is better than the NFC this year, had Indy going for an undefeated season, the Pats, etc.? I mean, for people without DirecTV, you're basically watching one or the other, so it just comes down to a choice between either watching the home team, or the best matchup. What does that have to do with what network it's on?
I hate marketing.

Flutie was putting in a plug with Plummer - "I'd love to be your backup next year!"

I'm dissapointed too, but I can't see that call as an excuse. It certainly changed the complexion of the game, but Denver deserved to win it because they took advantage of their opportunities. Last edited by Desnudo : 01-14-2006 at 10:36 PM. |

True. I'm still not sure who's choosing what game to watch based on the network. And I'd have a hard time believing that CBS' pre-game show is #1. I've always viewed them like Dan Rather - a distant third.

Brady choked and the Pats choked. Every one of them. The refs are a non-issue.

The pass interference call
a) wasn't *that* bad a call and b) isn't the reason the Pats lost. |

Pretty sure Costas and Collinsworth both picked Denver. The 'experts' on ESPN have been split pretty much all week. I don't watch the pregame shows that closely, but I am pretty sure you are wrong there too. |

the interference call was that he quit looking back at the ball then ran into the receiver and ran across him ...if he keeps looking at the ball its a no-call

No they choked. I don't know of a better word. Brady missed two open guys for a TD on top of the INT to Bailey. The fumbles, Browns punt screw up.
The defense came to play and the offense stunk it up. Last edited by jeff061 : 01-14-2006 at 10:43 PM. |

The Pats made some real bad turnovers, and Denver made plays to turn them into points. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who should have won.

Honestly, yeah, Brady had his worst important Patriot game I've seen. I guess he is human after all. What's crazy is who made the mistakes. The odds on Troy Brown fumbling a punt return would have been astonomical. |

tough to blame the defense in this one. excepting the turnovers and horrible field position, they held Denver well. It was the offense that couldn't do anything, and more than that, couldn't take care of the goddamm football.
i predict Brady comes out and takes the whole loss on himself like a man |

I understand that, but it did change the game at the time and I hate bad calls, just hate them. I don't care who I'm cheering for, who I'm cheering against, a bad call is a bad call. I'm not saying Denver didn't deserve the win. When you keep NE out of the end zone for 3 1/2 quarters, confuse/confound Brady, and consistently drill him in the chest all game long, you did something right and deserve the football game. I will go back to what I wrote before this game: The Denver pass defense isn't nearly as bad as the numbers indicate. They give up yardage and a big play or two. But they force mistakes, they hit the QB, and they are tough to beat consistently. Coyer put together one hell of a game plan tonight. |

So even at the end of the game, which Denver WON......All Simms can say is the Patriots showed the heart and character of a champion? What about the team that won the game? Did they only show the heart of a Wild-Card team? The media should all just line up to fellate Tom Brady and be done with it.

You have to at least admit that Denver took the opportunities and turned them into points. Turnovers are always the story and unfortunately the Pats are on the losing side this time. Last edited by Desnudo : 01-14-2006 at 10:51 PM. |

No, but give them credit for picking the Pats in the end zone and bringing it back 100 yards.

Have you seen the amount of away games the Pats have played against Denver during the regular season? It's ridiculous. This has nothing to do with this game, but overall, it's crazy.

Well, don't worry about that. Denver has to come to New England next year. (NFL's already released the home-away splits for next year with dates TBA later)

well, they got us used to comebacks and big wins but they can't win every year. Thanks Pats, I'm disappointed, but nobody can take away the three other SB wins...
Now, who to cheer for? Hrm, hate Pittsburgh, but seeing them knock Peyton off his socks would be fun FM

I'm not gonna talk about the two questionable calls anymore. We sucked otherwise, so didn't deserve to win.. nothing you can do to change it, but maybe come back next year with a vengeance

Right there guys, exactly why I've hated the Patriots fans. that attitude. Manning is a great QB. a sensational QB. Who just happened to run into the Patriots defense and struggled to get by it. As if Brady would have been able to figure out Beli and Manning wouldn't have torched those Colts defenses. If Plummer or Manning had made that Brady throw on the five tonight, Pats fans would be screaming about how much better their guy was. It wasn't Plummer or Manning this time. It was Brady on the road against a great defense struggling to put his team in the end zone and making the critical mistake. Manning being Manning will probably beat Denver next week. And he probably would have beat NE as well. Because this year the TEAM happens to be better around him. It doesn't mean Manning is better and it doesn't mean Brady sucks. It just means the Colts are the best team in football this year. Nothing more, nothing less. The Manning hatred by NE fans is just idiotic and i've never figured out what causes it. (other than them trying to show how great Tom Brady is, which is something they don't need to do anyway) |

To think so is simply ignorant. In fact I like Manning. Keep him on the Colts please, since Beli has his #. |
