I predict the Bears win 24-13
Don't get me wrong the Broncos played better and deserved to win. But there two really bad calls go against the patriots. The pass interference call was beyond pathetic. If anything the Bronco player pushed the defender. And on the interception return the Bronco player lost the ball and it should have been Patriot's ball at the 20. Two really bad calls gave the broncos the ball on the one yard line and gave Denver 2 easy TD's. But the Broncos deserved to win I just hope the referrees involved in those 2 plays have done their last game for the season.
Pats got pounded???? That's a joke. What they did was give the game away and someone should be looking to see if Brady or Faulk had money on the Broncos. The refs made a bad call on the pass interferenc play but if Faulk doesn't lay it on the ground like a rookie then there's no way that other call is ever made. Brady made a stupid decision on the Bailey call.
Pounded is giving up 150 plus yards on the ground with a 4.0 average carry. Denver had under 100 yards with a 3.0 average. 25 of those yards came when they were running out the clock at the end. The Broncos passed for only 190 yards but gave up 330 along with 3 plays of 50 or better.
5 turnovers (3 fumbles) and 8 penalties is all you need to know.
So far, the "environmentalist wacko method" is working.
Any other QB for NE would have thrown 5 picks and been sacked at least 5 times with the pressure Denver put on Brady. The guy just amazes me with how he can hang in the pocket and still make the throws with pressure in his face.
Yes, NE turned the ball over but give Denver some credit for causing some of those turnovers. NE fans please take the loss with a bit of grace and humility. If Denver had lost I would have pulled for Brady, not necessarily NE, to continue. I just want to see Indy bite the big one since they have killed my team the last 2 years. Oh, I am the biggest one day Pittsburgh fan tomorrow. Roll BUS!
TOM BRADY HAHAHAHAHHA!!! I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT! HAHAHA!
Brady is not a post-season quarterback. His 10-1 record proves my point.
