What's new

Are the Broncos pretty much the only team who can stop the Patriots?

Just watching Brady and company destroying the Texans last night, are Peyton Manning and the Broncos pretty much the only thing standing in the way of the defending AFC champs from getting back to the Super Bowl?

Did you watch the game?
an 11-1 team that really doesn't need to show a team anything because they'll more than likely play at some point int he playoffs.

Houston was super vanilla in that game.... and anything that could of gone right (fumble TD... stallworth TD) went right for NE.

If the Patriots play the Broncos, 49ers, Ravens, possibly Steelers if the whole team is healthy, Giants, Packers or possibly the bears, come will lose.

You sig...Emma Stone just tells me we're gonna bang over and over again...I love it.

On a side note, Pats likely will lose to the Ravens or Broncos in playoffs, whichever one comes first.

Ravens? Seriously? Their defense is decimated by injury and Flacco is so up and down that their offense will not be able to keep up with the Pats. If it's 28-10 at any point then Ray Rice gets less touches and that's their best offensive weapon.

The niners have weapon ins Tory Smith and Anquan (idk how the hell you spell his first name) Boldin, if he gets enough pass protection the Pats will be in trouble. Additionally, like the Broncos, the Ravens have a great defensive line and line backing core. Negates the run game and thus gets rid of the play action mix-up. Idk, I don't see the Patriots making past these two.

I don't think the Pats can keep up with the Niners, Falcons or Packers period though.

You mean the Ravens and it doesn't matter if Flacco can't consistently feed them the ball.

Falcons looking suspect but this could just be a slump, Bears offense is just terrible though. If it weren't for that defense they wouldn't even be sniffing the playoffs.

I wouldn't sleep on them thouhg, you gotta remember that they were like 7-1 before Cutler's concussion or whatever.

Sure, and alot was the defense either scoring TDs (I think the Bears have the most TDs by a defense in a season ever) or holding their opponents back. Cutler is a turnover machine, Forte has been hurt for quite a bit this season and they have no number 2 receiver.

Why did some people name NFC teams?

As for the game last night, I don't care if the Texans wen tin there and played vanilla football. What does that tell you about them then?

For the Superbowl, which many people (not me) think the Patriots to get to.

Okay lets be serious here. Denver has lost to every good team they've played this year. They're playing in the softest division in the NFL, 5-8 is the second best record in that division. Of their wins only Pittsburgh and Cincinatti have winning records (Both are 7-6). Houston, New England, and Atlanta are the only top NFL teams they've played and they lost all 3 of those games. Denver is a good team but they are not a superbowl team in my opinion. New England is coming on strong and they might be. This week vs SF will tell a lot about how good New England really is but this last week vs Houston they looked like a team that's thinking about a championship.

Broncos can keep them from reaching, and Packers, Giants, 49ers can keep them from winning the Super Bowl. Everyone else is filler.

Broncos were a brand new team at the beginning of the year jelling together. Of course they were going to lose against top teams. against the falcons they were one 3rd down stop away from winning same with the houston game. Their defense, offense, and special teams have gotten MUCH better since then. They go into baltimore this week where baltimore usually plays great. We'll see what happens.

Pats were great on Monday but a playoff match against Houston will not go so smoothly. I believe Pitt and Baltimore can hang with them as well. Super Bowl victory... no chance. Let's go Big Blue
