2013 NFL Season Week 12

[Wes Woodhead]

Looks to me like Welker WAS the Pats offense all these years. They are horrible without him. I love Brady, Amendola, Edelman, and Gronk, but without Welker they arent nearly as good.

 

[Wes Woodhead]

Manning ignores a wide open Welker. Would have been a first down. The Broncos would score a TD every single possession IF Wes was ALWAYS the first read. Hes simply never covered.

 

[jaxvid]

The Patriots always looked good against Peyton Manning in Foxboro because the Colts were a dome team and soft in the cold weather. That advantage has disappeared against the Broncos another cold weather team. In fact the Pats look bad in the cold, they can't hold on or catch anything. So far this is an ugly game for New England.

 

[Wes Woodhead]

Demarius Thomas has let two go right through his greasy paws so far.

 

[davidholly]

Tamme with a TD catch.

 

[foobar75]

No - the Pats start up to 13 whites. The Broncos are always at 5 whites (the NFL average). The Pats start 3 whites on defense at times as well.

On the NE side, both Joe Vellano and Chris Jones look, how can I best put this, somewhat racially suspicious. Or maybe they're whites who have that typical dark Southern European look, not sure.

 

[Don Wassall]

Mother Nature and the Patriots' sloppiness are ruining this game. To satisfy the fantasy football industry, the NFL should issue a decree that within five years all teams must build a domed stadium for their home games.

 

[Quiet Speed]

When you have a defense as crummy as New England’s, you cannot turn the ball over three times in a game much less the first quarter.

I'll stop watching NFL at that point, I'm really looking forward to a cold Super Bowl.

Rodgers-Cromartie drops an easy interception and ends up writhing on the turf in apparent pain. Classic black thang.

Shouldn't have even tried to go for the interception.

 

[Westside]

Someone tell me WHY the Pats did not go for the 3 points just prior to the end of the 1st half. I was a 20 or 30 yard kick. The score would be 24 to 17. Most likely will come back to haunt them in this game.

 

[Pie]

The Pats losing Welker hurt a lot for sure, but I don't think many people outside of these forums know how much letting Woodhead go has hurt them. They didn't use him nearly as much as they should have, but just having him in there for the no huddle and for 3rd downs was huge. He was always saving a drive in some way. Their current backs are entirely less capable receivers and pass protectors.

 

[Westside]

there is a change in momentuem now. Hopefully the PATS can overcome the fumbles with multiple scores.

 

[Westside]

Edelman with a long pass play. Pats in red zone. Knocking on the door.

 

[Westside]

GronK TD! Big boy football as uncle cris would say.

 

[jaxvid]

3 point game. Pats did a good job of coming back. Fantasy football players are kept happy!

 

[Westside]

F Yeah! Edelman with a all pro TD!!!! Where is everyone! LOL

 

[Don Wassall]

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.

 

[jaxvid]

I guess the Broncos DB's don't have enough hip swivel to keep up with a little jewish guy.

 

[Gibbon]

They looked abysmal in the first half. Hopefully they keep it going. Edelman. Gronk. Starting to come alive.

 

[Kaptain]

Still watching. The all time best punt returner in NFL history and now leading receiver for the Patriots is showing what he could have been doing for years. Watch for the Broncos to now finally go to Welker.

 

[Westside]

The NE affeletic DB who intercepted the Broncs did earn his pay. Nice play

 

[Awake in America]

Edelman would be downright scary if he had burst, hip swivel, or upside!

 

[Gibbon]

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.

Don't know how it will go tonight but Brady typically has Manning's number. Brady has choked some big playoff games in the last eight years or so but usually it is Manning doing the choking when they play against one another.
