2016 AFC Championship Game: #2 New England Patriots at #1 Denver Broncos

[tdawg3782]

So glad the Broncos won. My mom is from Denver so even though I'm a born and raised San Diego Chargers fan I've always had a soft spot for the Broncos. As long as it never affected the Chargers chances. Which is usually never lol. Especially those early Elway and late Elway teams. Go Broncos. I honestly couldn't care less who wins the NFC game. It's new blood over there so I'd be happy with either one. I'd like to see Carson and Fitz make it though. That would be cool.

Though I'm a certified Patriot ***** I had little doubt Brady would have been able to put them in scoring position again.

Have a blast:

I'm going to make a bold prediction...Peyton Manning ISN'T going to retire after this year no matter what happens in the SB.

Well yeah, but I think those old enough/know their history would at least remember that Elway led those teams there.


The Peyton love fest for the next 2 weeks is going to be intolerable though.

Miracle for Elway to get those early teams into the SB to begin with

Don't remind Browns fans, especially about THE DRIVE.


Oops sorry Browns fans

They stop paying attention to football around the first week of December anyway, so they won't see this.
