The main cam in Denver appears to have a glitch which is not providing the full hi-def resolution one might expect-from the cold or such?
As an EAGLE fan, I gotta root for the backup QB. So, Go, Broncos!
Next game, I really think the Rams can beat Seahawks. As much as their last. two games are criticized, they somehow won both. I think both games are gonna be close.
For as long as I’ve been watching football with my son, any time Sean Payton pops up on the screen I do a “lip reading” of him as though he talked like a southern Porky Pig. I don’t know why I do it, other than I have disliked him since the bounty days, but even now as I chat with my son on Discord during the game, I am doing it. For your amusement.
Stidham really composed so far.
I’m glad to see that Denver isn’t going to try win 3-0. So what if you have a backup quarterback! It’s the AFC Championship! Go big or go home!
I mean, they’re at home.
Touché.
But they are trying to not stay at home. The Super Bowl is in Santa Clara.
Go big or stay home!
That works!
Well, hindsight is great, but I certainly would have kicked the FG there.
Although Denver’s D has been playing great, so maybe it wasn’t a huge gamble.
Me too. And I definitely was thinking that even before the play.
OK. Please explain why that wasn’t a touchdown? Was a whistle blown?
Somebody pleaase explain to me what just happened, and why the ball couldn’t be advanced. I had the sound off for a minute.
ETA me screaming at the TV “Drake Maye can fucking RUN”, thank you Josh McDaniels.
I assume the last couple of posts were about the Stidham fumble. It was blown dead on the field because they initially ruled it a forward pass, then changed their minds, so it was Patriots ball but they couldn’t advance it.
That could have sucked for the Pats, but they punched it in pretty quickly, so no harm done.
Anemic first half offense by the Patriots, I’m glad to go into halftime with a tie and the ball in the 2nd.
I expect to see more rollouts and runs by Maye in the 2nd.
ETA oh jesus who added kirk cousins to this unholy mix.
I don’t think that’s the case, though. I didn’t hear a whistle, and the official who was right there wasn’t calling the play dead.
It looked to me like they decided after the fact that it was a forward pass, and then threw a flag for grounding. And then they reconsidered and decided it was a lateral, but, for whatever reason, the defense couldn’t advance it.
Oh, well, as you say, the Pats scored.
It’s quite refreshing to watch a game with so few penalties.
Denver’s gonna need a couple of PI calls to go in their favor to have a chance.
Drake Maye needs to practice sliding on his left leg, or he’s really going to get clocked sometime.
The Patriots are going to win for sure, but I’m just curious how close the Broncos can keep the game before the Pats pad their lead to pull away.
Pretty bold statement with a quarter to play. With these conditions, a defensive score could turn the game around.
That transition graphic of the snow was something.
Eventually the Broncos might just heave the ball downfield. (or miss a field goal)
Yep..
