I just realized what we are watching tonight at quarterback, versus what will be on tomorrow night. Wow. "Juxtaposition" defined.

Brady throwing far better than Manning so far in the inclement weather conditions. A bad weather home playoff game might be a problem for the Broncos.

As much as I love Manning I must admit hes no good in the cold.

Damn, Brady just over threw Edelman by inches. Would have been a nail in the coffin. Hopefully the D can stop Manning.

Watch for the Broncos to now finally go to Welker.

Of course any team concerned with winning would be going to him all game. Its the story of Welkers career. Great as he is hes been ignored a big portion of the time hes been on the field.

Okay, I just need Gronk for a quick score, then for Welker to hit paydirt to tie it up for overtime. Fantasy football! :laugh:

Patriots need to stop handing off to Bolden on first down, he sucks.

Bill Belicheck is a crazy madman for not taking the ball first. Maybe hes just a genius, but I would have given Brady the ball.

A few years ago Detroit coach Marty Morningweg did the same thing in a windy day in Chicago, Chicago scored. It was a big reason he got fired.

Seahawks got the ball second on both of their OT games this season and won both. It's very much like the college football tactic of deferring. The way Manning has been playing tonight he probably wouldn't get a TD.

The receiving team has only scored an overtime opening TD in 6 of 34 overtime games under the new rules.

This game has been a real war. It will be a shame for either team to lose. While I want the Pats to win, a loss for Manning will tarnish his legacy about losing these types of games.

Didn't the Lions' 1-15 record also play a big role in Marty's firing? :icon_smile:

He wasn't the head coach for that year, he was much better winning 2 and then 3 games, and going on to be the genius behind Geno Smiff. :tongue:

New England's defense should be embarrassed. No, make that few if any of them should be playing in the NFL. Allowing a running back as putrid as Slowshon Moreno to rush for over 200 yards is inexcusable.

Where has Decker been? Manning has completely ignored him, while forcing the ball to D. Thomas in the second half, as he usually does. He certainly doesn't force the ball to Decker. And I obviously expected a lot more targets for Welker. Will he score another TD this season?

Gronk is unstoppable. And again, the Patriots under utilize him. He had only a few targets in the first half. If they schemed to get the ball to him as often as the Saints scheme to get it to Graham, his numbers would be astonishing. McDaniels again is proving what an idiot he is. But at least we weren't treated to any more Blount "magic" after he fumbled. The way they keep playing every other back instead of just keeping Vereen in there, makes me think perhaps he has a bit too much white in him or something.

It's always a stupid decision to let the other team have the ball first in overtime. Preschoolers could figure that out. But not the rocket scientists who are handed these glorified gym coaching jobs in this totally corrupt league.

I was just gonna post about how long it's been since the NFL has had two ties on the same game day, and then Carter makes his bonehead play, which Crissie promptly blames on Welker.

Do we get combat pay for listening to Crissie and Uncle Al for four hours straight?

According to Chris Collinsworthless the boneheaded play by the Denver guy was Welkers fault. I guess to liberal douche's you always have to find a White guy to blame.

And one of the countless unqualified, affirmative action employees of the NFL makes a typically brainless mistake to give the game to the Patriots, and Crissy is there to somehow blame it on Welker.

THe ball bounces of an idiot mulatto, and Collinsworth blames Welker for it.

You got that right. I usually don't watch with the sound up when these guys are doing the game but I have tortured myself tonight.
