I never thought that extra point miss by Gostkowski was a big deal, but know I see the importance of it.

Remind me, who was the NFL head coach who said that the PAT lacks competition and something needs to be done about it?

Bill Belichick:

Go go go, Panthers!!!

Quit that.

The Denver defense is a force to be reckoned with but I think Carolina matches up against them better.  Of course, the Panthers have no chance of beating the Cardinals, so it doesn't really matter.  Regardless of who wins between Az and Car, though, Manning had better bring out his Extra Thick pads.  Yes, I realize there is a joke there but we're in NSFW mode now.

Anyway, there goes my daring pre-season prediction of Seattle vs. New England in the Superbowl.  Got closer than my friend's picks of Dallas and Indy winning, however, so I'm fine with that.

Anyone else think Az is going to win this game by 14 points or more?  I'm going with 38-24.

Welp, thoughts on the most embarrassing loss in Patriots history

-Congrats to Denver, played a really good game, especially the defense.
-FFS Stephen Gostowski, why did you have to pick the AFCG to miss an extra point?
-Offensive Line played like absolute utter shit. I realize the O Line's been injured and hasn't had a ton of time to gel, but this was straight up embarrassing. Broncos were rushing just three and still getting pressure on Brady. Linemen (particularly Cameron Flemming) were frequently just standing there as Miller or Wolfe just blew straight by them. Absolutely awful play, and if I'm New England, I'd be spending my first round draft pick on this...if I had one, that is.
-Bad game by Brady too. Some of this is excused by the pressure, but he was missing throws all over the field. Those two interceptions were terrible decisions.
-Possibly worst of all, though, was the play calling. I'm not an expert on offensive coordinator duties, but I'd think that on third and 10 or so, it might be worth calling a play that takes the receiver, y'know, beyond the first down line. I don't mind the decision(s) to go for it on fourth down, but the first call was absolutely abysmal, again, largely because it's fourth down. You kind of need a route that goes beyond the first down marker.

Yeah it was a bad game across the board for the Pats (Gronk was really good, tho), and a great game for the Broncos, without a doubt.  Injuries on the O-line just couldn't be covered up any longer, and I think everyone got the impression they'd turned it around after the Chiefs game.  I think the Chiefs injuries actually impacted that game more than the o-line gelled.  Though, part of me also doesn't want to minimize how well the Bronco's D played either.  It may have been a bit better w/ the o-line healthy, but who knows, the Broncos were really effective.  Miller had the snap count timed like clockwork.  Pats run D was much improved over the last Denver game, btw.

I'm looking forward to next year, really excited to have Lewis back, that guy lit it up this year when he was healthy (and of course, the other IR players)

Hopefullly the second game will be better. At least one of the QBs is younger than 35.

I, for one, enjoy the elder abuse!

Who wants to bet the Panther will blow this lead in the second half and this game will be decided by 3 points.

My youngest daughter actually started crying after the broncos recovered the onside kick she was so happy. Of course she well understands that if she doesn't embrace broncos fandom I'd disown her and put her into the foster care system.

Harsh, but fair.

Fuck, I just realized that AFC gets home uniform in the Super Bowl this year. That means I'm going to have to watch another three hours of those stupid orange Broncos jerseys.

Picks I received:

Rol = NE by 10, CAR by 3.
Wiistation = NE by 13, CAR by 4
