How about them Broncos...........

[Big E3]

What do you mean? The O-line gave Peyton enough time to lay down, get back up without being touched and throw the ball 34 yards. And it was one of the few passes that wasn't dropped by the receiver.

I also like when the rest of the team decided early on that they didn't need Peyton always walking up to the line and yelling at them. So they decided to just snap the ball right to the running back when Peyton wasn't looking. To bad it didn't work out better.

I believe that was a internal play... Considering they were running it in practice..

That O-line is a sieve right now & the receivers can't catch a damn ball. If those two groups can't figure it out then it doesn't matter if it's Peyton, Brock or Elway in his prime... they need to protect longer, open up some rushing holes and catch a damn ball! NE will eat them up with their schemes if they show up looking like they did tonight.

Especially with Hightower back in the mix. The Pats aren't a defensive powerhouse, but they play smart. And that's dangerous when an offense is struggling to make their designed plays work, because unless you've got Rodgers or Roethlisberger, extending the play and improvising rarely works well for 4 quarters.

One play doesn't equate to good play. The youngsters have been inconsistent, and Mathis isn't exactly living up to the hype he had in Philly.

Denver's offensive line is... offensive. A lot of focus falls on Tom Brady & his coach but that defensive front 7 is stout! If Denver loses that will be the reason even though the marketing is cleverly billing it as Peyton/Brady bowl 17.

Definitely. Keeping the Pats on their heels and opening up with the run and underneath stuff will be essential. If the Broncos let the Pats just press them, the offense is doomed.
