New England Patriots

[thebestauntie]

I love this team. :D :multi

[pathetic]

That'll kill your teboner

[stoneje]

Can we please win 31-6? That'd take care of the religious BS.

[pathetic]

Wooooooo fumble

[thebestauntie]

YES!!!! Nikovich!! Wahoo.

[trippingbillie4]

lets go pats!!!!!

[pathetic]

Brady is showing why he's the best qb in football

[rickyh24]

Gronked. Hopefully it holds up.

[thebestauntie]

Will it stand?

[trippingbillie4]

Gronk!!!!!

[trippingbillie4]

that's a td!!!!!

[thebestauntie]

GRONK'D!!!!!!! Yes!!

[pathetic]

Best TE ever!!!!!!!!1!!

Gronk'D!!1!

[trippingbillie4]

told ya!

[pathetic]

Great kick!!! Hung it up there

[rickyh24]

Option :lol is this high school?

[trippingbillie4]

Bold prediction: This defense will hold the the Broncos to a lower total offense than the Steelers.

[thebestauntie]

That's lame. Should be a fumble.

[pathetic]

Horseshit

[scrock25]

No it shouldn't.

[trippingbillie4]

How can you miss that tackle?

[thebestauntie]

How can you miss that tackle?
Because he's McCourty, it's what he does.

[rickyh24]

They should blow a whistle then.

[trippingbillie4]

Great play! I got really pissed there for a second. I thought it was a catch so I left the room and then I heard the announcers haha

[scrock25]

Ima troll the shit out this thread. Cuz the Coors is flowing.

[thebestauntie]

Ima troll the shit out this thread. Cuz the Coors is flowing.
Ima continue to ignore the shit out of you. :D

Well that sucks. That was a terrible throw Tom. :thumbsdow

[pathetic]

Come on Tom...

[Jake]

is Brady saying "Bucky Dent" instead of Hike? I swear he said that.

[trippingbillie4]

That was terrible

[rickyh24]

Fuck..,...

[scrock25]

Ima continue to ignore the shit out of you. :D

Well that sucks. That was a terrible throw Tom. :thumbsdow

But you just responded to my post :confused

[trippingbillie4]

That was so stupid. I still can't believe that happened.

[thebestauntie]

But you just responded to my post :confused
Hmmm, there seems to be a flaw in my plan. :shrug

[thebestauntie]

Will someone please break McGahee's legs?

[scrock25]

[scrock25]

Hmmm, there seems to be a flaw in my plan. :shrug

[rickyh24]

[trippingbillie4]

[thebestauntie]

I don't think that one will need to be reviewed. :lol

[scrock25]

:lol:lol:lol

[scrock25]

Genny Light now.

[stoneje]

We all saw the Focus on the Family 3:16 commercial, right? WTF.

[trippingbillie4]

How did he not have that?!?!????? ugh!!!!!

[pathetic]

Come on branch... You really gotta Catch that

[scrock25]

Trolololololololololoo!!

[rickyh24]

Defense looks great.

[trippingbillie4]

Ya defense!!!!

[pathetic]

Huge sack by warren

[trippingbillie4]

I think my prediction is going to be right! :D

[thebridge15]

The Krafts are the greatest.

[scrock25]

Yay defense yaaaaaayyyy!!!!!!!!!

[rickyh24]

Bon Von Joni in the Kraft booth.

[thebestauntie]

I think my prediction is going to be right! :D
I would love to see another Patriots TD before the half.

edit: Kinda like that. :lol

[rickyh24]

Woooooot!!!!

[trippingbillie4]

AMAZING!!!!!!



:multi:multi:multi:multi

[scrock25]

The Krafts are the greatest.

Correct, because macaroni and cheese is the greatest invention ever

[pathetic]

Branch don't disappear in big game!!! Brady with a Fantastic throw

[scrock25]

AMAZING!!!!!!



:multi:multi:multi:multi

Unreal is more like it.

[thebestauntie]

Unreal is more like it.
Almost unreal.

[thebridge15]

[scrock25]

No, totally unreal. The Genny is helping my pain though.

[rickyh24]

Take note tebow. That is how you throw a football.

[pathetic]

Take note tebow. That is how you throw a football.

I love how people think he can learn how to. He's had his whole life to learn. He's ain't gonna throw it any better

[thebestauntie]

Oh my God, this is awesome. :lol :multi :multi :multi

[rickyh24]

Brady setting records. :lol

[pathetic]

Brady is The best ever!!! Gronk is too!! Amazing

[trippingbillie4]

New nfl record! Way to go terrific tom!

[scrock25]

Tebows??

[thebestauntie]

I love football. :D

[stoneje]

8 TD passes in one game is looking reachable. :hump

[pathetic]

Brady 5tds tebow 3 Completions lol

[luke7]

Brady is The best ever!! Amazing


You can honestly make a case. Early on in his career he got the rings, later he has the numbers.

[rickyh24]

Josh mcdaniels has helped so much.

[rickyh24]

Brady 5tds tebow 3 Completions lol

Lol is this real?

[scrock25]

Nah, it's unreal.

[trippingbillie4]

So is anyone ready to say how good my prediction was yet?

[pathetic]

I'm here... having many Genny Lights and a ton of fun with you assholes. Does that count for nothing?

Closet pats fan

[rickyh24]

Not letting up. Love it.

[pathetic]

Not letting up. Love it.

Tebow has too many fourth quarter comebacks. Can't let up

[scrock25]

At this point, I'm actually hoping Brady throws 8 TD's so at least I can root for history.

[scrock25]

2 to go. Brady!!!!!

[pathetic]

At this point, I'm actually hoping Brady throws 8 TD's so at least I can root for history.

Best!!! 6!!1!!!

[trippingbillie4]

Awe Brady.....just shattering records

[bonzo48280]

one thing I love about the Patriots is they are basically giving a big fuck you to ESPN, Denver, and any fan who loved Tebow. Not on purpose, but that is exactly what this is. Tebow got hyped up so much, and the Pats are killing them, it's perfect.

[stoneje]

Will this be the first divisional playoff game in NFL history where the starters get pulled for most of the second half?

[rickyh24]

Tebow may get 10 completions if he doesn't slow down.

[thebestauntie]

Oh I think it's on purpose. :lol

[rickyh24]

If you multiply tebows completions by 2 you get Brady's td total. Good god.

[thebridge15]

Definitely one of my favorite games I've ever seen. All the hype this week was on our opponent and they went out there and besides the one overthrow for the pick, just PERFECTLY executed.

[pathetic]

This team is aweome!!* the defense is better than theyve been all year

*team acquired josh mcdaniels

[trippingbillie4]

Ok I have to say it. I told you all our defense would be better than the Steelers!!!

[rickyh24]

So impressed with the d right now.

[pathetic]

Well, looks like Ridley won't be seen in the playoffs anymore

[rickyh24]

Yup he's done.

[pathetic]

Dumb hit Chung

[scrock25]

Shut ur hole Wang chung!!!

[pathetic]

What a hit by Ellis!!!

[rickyh24]

:lol Teouch.

[scrock25]

Huh?????

[pathetic]

13 negative plays on the night for denver :lol

[scrock25]

:lol:lol:lol

[pathetic]

:lol FG..

[rickyh24]

Huge fg.

[thebestauntie]

:lol :lol :lol

[dontburnthe_pig]

Brady has six touchdown passes

tebow has five completions.

[pathetic]

Awesome!!

[pathetic]

People in nfl thread saying he should be out of the game. He's taking sneaks :lol

[pathetic]

Omg brady to Gronk!!! No deep threat!!1!

[thebestauntie]

Love the over the shoulder flip of the ball that Gronk just did. :lol

[trippingbillie4]

Man I hope Hernandez doesn't get hurt.

[rickyh24]

Fuck this team.

[thebestauntie]

What? Kicking a FG? How lame. :thumbsdow

[pathetic]

Huge FG??!!

[trippingbillie4]

I think it's time to rest all major starters

[pathetic]

I think it's time to rest all major starters

Tebow is still in there.. Have you seen his 4th quarter comeback stats?

[trippingbillie4]

Dude I'm seriously going to be pissed if we lose Hernandez because they had him run the ball in attempt to push the lead to 40+

[rickyh24]

Hernandez is fine.

[trippingbillie4]

Hernandez is fine.

I wish you were 100% on that. Where's the sideline reporter that gives us these kinds of assurances?!?!??????

[thebestauntie]

See, this is why we can't sit our starters. Tebow is making a comeback!

[scrock25]

Fuck. I got nothin'. Go Pats :(

[thebestauntie]

Fuck. I got nothin'. Go Pats :(
:lol :lol :lol

[rickyh24]

Defense!!@!

[stoneje]

Awww cute, the Broncos got really close that time.

[rickyh24]

Wtf is this shit???

[thebridge15]

Did we just punt on third down?

[rickyh24]

:lol yes

[thebestauntie]

I've completely lost track of what's going on in this game. :lol

[thebridge15]

When you get the ball a down early you have to commit personal fouls, right?

[rickyh24]

2 more...,

[rconverse]

If NE does not make it to the SB I will be royally pissed.

[rickyh24]

"got the gator juice up here....nice" Bill's first words at the podium. :lol

[rconverse]

What an asshole. Awesome.

[joshizzle3]

Nice win :thumbsup. Good luck next week

[Coker]

I really wanted to see Brady go off for two or three more TDs :lol

Rooting for you guys next week!

[trippingbillie4]

"Hernandez left with a head injury..." the Boston Herald reports. Man I hope he didn't get a concussion.

[dduncan6er]

That punt on 3rd was such a slap to the face. :lol

[rickyh24]

That punt on 3rd was such a slap to the face. :lol

:lol it really was. It's almost like they were trying to find out a way to be huge dicks about what was going on without throwing for another TD.

[rickyh24]

Hernandez is on CSN right now. Says he is fine. Ready to go. He feels great.

That. Was. Awesome. Massive Patriots girl boner. Wow.

[thebridge15]

I hate how they never show Gronk's spikes. It's like they don't want people at home to get offended by the power.

Awesome! Thanks!!!

[MGH4007]

What were people expecting to happen? The Pats to play worse than the first match-up? Yea, the day Belickick and Brady let Tebow beat them will be a sad day, and probably the end of the current Pats regime.

At least they shut up Denver fans / Teboners for the rest of the season

[hbktonyb]

I may bet the house on the Pats -13.5.

40-13, Brady's team.

Genius, and thank you to the real God, Brady.

[pathetic]

Oh hai Shawn ellis

[rickyh24]

I like what I'm seeing from this game.

[dduncan6er]

Ravens will be tough. Flacco is better than tebow and their defense is a lot better than Denver's too.

[rickyh24]

Ravens don't look that great really.

[dduncan6er]

It all depends on how the line plays. If they keep the pressure off brady the pats win. If they don't it'll be a long game.

[pathetic]

It all depends on how the line plays. If they keep the pressure off brady the pats win. If they don't it'll be a long game.

Ya that's the game plan to stop Brady, but honestly, what qb would be successful if their line didn't play well?

[dduncan6er]

I think its even more important for the pats though because the defense can't bail the offense out.

[rickyh24]

I think the defense looked ok yesterday.

[dduncan6er]

Against tebow. He made the bills defense look good.

[rickyh24]

Still looked good.

[DMBstandUP1984]

Ya that's the game plan to stop Brady, but honestly, what qb would be successful if their line didn't play well?

Def not the Broncos

brady looked good

[thebridge15]

Bring it on.

[rickyh24]

Wouldn't want it any other way.

[thebridge15]

Essentially knew this was going to happen. Still I really like our chances.

[dmbbearcat]

Could be a heck of a game.

[thebridge15]

Definitely will be. I'm almost surely going to be so nervous by Sunday.

[dmbbearcat]

If New England plays like they did last night, they'll win by two scores. It'll be interesting to see what happens with Ed Reed. I'm sure he'll play, but if he doesn't then everything changes big time.

[trippingbillie4]

I honestly think the duo of Hernandez and Gronk may be too hard to stop. Especially if the O-Line can protect Brady. Next week is going to be HUGE. The best offense left in the postseason vs. the best defense. It will be a great game.

[rickyh24]

:lol :lol

[trippingbillie4]

They're not advancing. Are you watching the game?

And if you look at the stats the Pats are second in total offense. Nice try though

[NextMovement41]

theres a half a game left :lol

Dmbstandup is rapidly losing pats bashing material.

[rickyh24]

theres a half a game left :lol

The best offense in the playoffs should put up more than 10 a half.

[trippingbillie4]

theres a half a game left :lol

I know. That first part was more of an emotional response where as my second part was fact based. I actually hope the Packers win because I think the Pats match up way better against them than the Giants.

[NextMovement41]

The best offense in the playoffs should put up more than 10 a half.

lets see how they respond, being the best offense in the league

[rickyh24]

I want the giants.

[rickyh24]

One of the best.

[trippingbillie4]

The best offense in the playoffs should put up more than 10 a half.

Ya 35 would be nice. Not counting the line the Giant's defense as a whole isn't that amazing. They're horrible against the pass which should fall right into Rodgers' strength. They just played really sloppy. Not really Rodger's fault though. 4 dropped passes will screw you.

[trippingbillie4]

I want the giants.

In a way I would love that too. Sweet revenge would be great. But I'd take the 49ers over the other two for sure.

[trippingbillie4]

Shit I might be right.

[trippingbillie4]

Against tebow. He made the bills defense look good.

Tebow made the best defense (Steelers) look bad. It goes both ways.

[trippingbillie4]

Oh wow I am going to be right

[rickyh24]

It's all falling into place.

[trippingbillie4]

It's all falling into place.

Would you really rather see the Pats play the Giants in the super bowl over the 49ers?

[rickyh24]

Yes........

[pathetic]

Pats giants would be amazing.

[thebridge15]

I'd be much more worried about the Ravens if they didn't suck today.

[crashintonickdm]

ravens :lol

His cameos have decreased in recent weeks.

[rickyh24]

Not sure how the ravens are going to cover all these receivers.

pats can't help who they play. lost to buffalo which is always a tough division game regardless of the team's skill...

i'm showing that baltimore lost on the road to 4 non-playoff teams...it makes it a lot tougher to come into NE and beat the #1 team in the AFC

[Ascf33]

Understood... and it's a fair point. However, in my opinion, it doesn't matter at all.

[pathetic]

classic TJ. Ravens were undefeated at home this year. they obviously have a tough time winning on the road...that doesn't matter at all?

[rickyh24]

Tj being dumb??? Typical Monday.

[thebridge15]

Not only can NE not control who they play, they also played a #1 schedule.

I'm a Bears fan and have no connection or preference now as to who wins (now that GB is gone) but I am hoping the Pats win it! I went to UofA and am a huge Gronk fan, and I've grown into a big Brady fan. Will try to watch parts of game online! Never been a Pats fan, but routing for them to win.

[pathetic]

but in all seriousness, baltimore had a tough time winning on the road this season. their defense is older and slower and i dont think they can cover all the options the pats have to throw to. there's no way those LB's can stick with hernandez/gronk and if they sit back in zone Brady will pick them apart. i dont think flacco has the offensive firepower to keep up with this offense either.

If the offensive line keeps the pass rush at bay for the majority of the game (which I think they will) then there' s no way Flacco will be able to keep up with Brady's offense. Flacco relies too much on the defense keeping it close. I could see Brady and co. putting up 30. Also, our defense is playing better. You can say what you want about it being against Tebow but let's remember 2 weeks ago Tebow put up amazing numbers against the best defense in the league.

[dmbredsox36]

I wasn't around on here sat/sun, but would just like to say what a great game all around from the Pats. Really excited for Sunday and I hope Gillette is as rocking/loud as it seemed on Sat. Couple thoughts...

1. Hope the D can keep up the pressure. Sure they could play more towards the run against Tebow, but they really played well all around. Great pass rush, disciplined lanes. And having Spikes/Chung back healthy is helping.
2. O-Line: Great job Saturday, hope they can keep that up Sunday.
3. If given the chance, think BB would accept the opening kickoff after how Saturday started? That really seemed to set the tempo/pace/atmosphere of the game. I loved it.
4. Hope Ridley's fumble doesn't cost him too much going forward. He's the best option at RB if he can hold on to the damn ball.
5. Hope Welker and any of the WR/TE's don't take too many big hits from the tough Ravens D. Injuries can happen at any time, it'd just be a shame for it to be now.

[pathetic]

Matt Light and Nate Solder played their asses off against denver.

[trippingbillie4]

Matt Light and Nate Solder played their asses off against denver.

Yep. It seems like a lot of our key players are 100% now. Everything seems to be falling into place. If we beat the Ravens we will have knocked off the best defense left in the playoffs. I like our chances if we advance.

i think the 9ers have the best D left in the playoffs, but i agree, i like our chances if we can knock off the ravens. they'll be the best team we've faced, thus far

I kind of agree with this. The 9er's have a more complete defense while the ravens have more play makers.

agreed... they didn't play us this year either, which is huge. they haven't seen us first hand, which i think works in the pats favor a little bit more.

two things that stand out for the pats and ravens, and i hope this continues for next week. our defense was explosive... keep the energy high. the ravens scored 17 out of 20 points from turnovers, one of which was a gimme on the 2 yd line, and the other still well into houston territory

with that being said... the pats need to keep the D momentum, and if the ravens plan on winning, they are going to need to do a lot more offensively and get into a groove of scoring without having to depend on turnovers

I haven't heard one commentator say the Pats are going to win yet. One idiot said well the Ravens defense is basically the same one that went to Foxboro in 06 and beat them but he forgot to mention all of our changes, i.e. Hernandez & Gronk. What an idiot

Pats can run the "meat curtain" d-line to try and slow down rice. Deaderick, Love, Wilfork and Ellis. That's a lot of man in a front four hahaa

Our defense needs to stop the run. If they can do that it will force Flacco to match Brady in passing completions.

San Diego threw all over the Ravens before because they threw outside the numbers..thats not exactly the Patriots game if you get beat down field by Branch then so be it but thats not going to happen often.. jam Welker one on one and double Gronk is your best way also if you can get to Brady on a four man rush collapse the pocket make him throw while moving, but if you blitz, brady will beat you. his release is too quick have to get to him with a four man rush. I still can't for the life of me figure out why teams leave Gronk open all the
time in red zone.

I def think the Ravens can do that and will do it can their offense run with the Patriots offense thats another story. I think Pats win but it will be close. Love to see Giants/Pats again I think the Giants are the most well rounded team left in the playoffs followed by the niners.
