I didn't know there was a specific term for it, but OK, that makes sense.

Still doesn't explain the many blown deep coverages though, nor all the dirty hits from Pro Bowlers responsible for coverage (particularly the SS trying to break the record for most suspensions in a season.) I can understand getting burned occasionally; no one's perfect. But when a team has only ONE first rate receiving threat (i.e. Hilton in Indy, Bennett in Chicago) but the secondary gives up MULTIPLE deep balls with no one even CLOSE ENOUGH to be considered "beaten"....

They keep showing up after the catch and often after the WHISTLE to throw shoulders into helmets or helmets into backs though. "I think we got a bunch of thugs here, Dan."

This wipe out is going to be hard to watch. The Patriot D is going to make Osweiller look like a basketball player. New England 52 Broncos 0. Let the Ponder era begin

In this day and age of the NFL I consider this nitpicking.

Pats 100 Broncos -7 Von Miller will sack Tanya Brady but in doing so fart in his face
thus causing the Refs to take away seven points from the Broncos and give them the Pats.

In the eyes of todays NFL, it probably is. After all, weren't we recently treated to an article basically outright saying Brady's a moral paragon BECAUSE he cheats in an era when we all long for the days of Maddens Raiders winning championships with Holy Rollers and post-whistle sucker punches? Once shameful things are popular they're no longer shameful, but admirable, right? But it makes me shudder to think how the next generation of adults will define "be like Mike."

"I'm'a shoot up a bunch of 'roids and adderall, then punch people in the back of the head when no one's looking, so I can be as successful as Dick Sherman!" At least the Cheatriots only rip people off, not cripple them. As long as it works, it's fine. By the way, John Fox and Cutler almost forced OT against a week after we couldn't even get a final possession vs. Luck and NOTHING but Hilton.

The Broncos are going to get killed this time around...

Prolly lose 100 zilch. Way TOO much going against us.


Peytons too old. Kubes is too dumb. DT is too scared. Ware is too hurt. Miller too soft. Hillman too small. Colquitt too rich. Wolfe too happy. Talib too careless. Ward too brittle. Schoefield too used. Daniels too slow. TDs too hard to find.

Roby too............Roby is boss.

The Broncos dont have a snowballs chance in hell in this one...Might as well pack their golf clubs and bermuda shorts

I'm not even going to watch.

Why? No probowl for Manning. He might as well just stay home on Sunday.

I agree with everyone else: NE*s determination must inevitably terminate Denver. Or its cheating must; "if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying," so same thing, right?

we lose five-hundred to nothing, thunder dies on the field, and the stadium burns down. . . broncos move to LA. . .

Gotta be realistic: The "Patriots will kills" EVERYONE. Except the Dolphins, Jets, Eagles and us—but everyone not on that list is TOAST. See ya'll next year....

Hmmm...

Flashbacks of SB nightmares plague the Broncos. Losing the coin toss and muffing the opening KO Peyton helplessly watches the first snap sail over his head; turning to watch it sail through the uprights. The ensuing free kick is returned for a TD and the Splats* offense hasn't even taken the field yet. The rest of the half is so demoralizing the stands empty during half time; save a handful of Splats* fans. Not even stadium staffing make it through the first 4 minutes of the third quarter. In the aftermath of the game; for the first time in league history owners consider a mercy rule to end a game early - introduced by Pat Bowlen himself.

Not looking forward to this one. Chico Marx, "Atsa no good." will forevermore be remembered as a Broncos fan.
