Not too cold today. It is up to 35F here at 8500 ft elevation west of Denver. There may be some rain/snow toward the end of the game. I wonder if Patriots have been practicing at elevation to acclimate---probably. If the Broncos keep dropping the ball they don't have a chance. If they play well it could go either way. Got beer in the fridge.

That works.

As a Colts fan my allegiance couldn’t be clearer. Go Peyton, Go Broncos!

As a Rams fan my allegiance couldn’t be clearer. Go Peyton, Go Broncos!

Bronco season ticker holder sitting out this one at home ... sold my tickets. Live 240 miles west of Denver and crossing the Rockies can be dicey this time of year. Although the weather doesn't look like much of a factor getting over to Denver this weekend, it might present a problem Sunday evening or Monday getting back. In any event the decision was made a few days ago to sell the tickets and they sold.
That aside ... if the Broncos are going to win this one they have to stop dropping passes and score TD's instead of kicking field goals. Field goals are helpful and are better than coming away with no points but TD's are what the Broncos need against the Pat's in order to come away with the 'WIN'.

Hey Doc, if you’re looking for a place to land now that you’re sans team, you guys are always welcome to cut across I-64 and join us...

I love bock beer...and at 8.2 you will only need a few! Enjoy and go Broncs...

[ThunderSleeps]

I'm going to predict a Broncos win. Close game, but I just have a feeling.

Of course I also have a feeling it doesn't really matter who wins in Denver. I think both Carolina and Arizona are better teams than either the Broncos or Patriots. I think the superbowl will be decided today, in Carolina. Who ever wins there will go on to beat whichever team comes out of Denver on top.

Note, I've got no dog in this fight, my team was eliminated last week...

I can’t imagine the league office that tried to screw the Patriots at the beginning of the season would be happy to see the Patriots back in the Super Bowl. The gloating would be insufferable.

Denver is 7-2 all-time in conference championship games, 5-1 at home. They are 3-0 at home in the postseason against New England all-time. The Broncos are 6-0 in the last six games Ed Hochuli was the referee in their game.

I see what you did there...*snicker*

I’m not sans team, I have been a Los Angeles Rams fan since 1977. It never occurred to me to pick a local team. I picked my team based on animosity to the Cowboys. I did root for KC last week though.

Manning doesn’t throw the ball with much zip any longer. Look for a bunch of short passes and a lot of runs. Maybe that will be enough to win. I doubt it though.

Brady.....well Brady is a machine. The Broncos have to break his rhythm or it’s going to be long day for them.

[PreciousLiberty]

Patsies are going down. I’m planning a special celebration every time Brady gets sacked.

Broncos 31, Patriots 16

[HoosierDammit]

Well, fair enough. I grew up a Colts fan in Bears country, then lived in and around Indy for more than a decade. Moved to Illinois but brought the Horseshoe with me.

I still love Peyrton for everything he was to us, and I’d love to see him get that last ring and retire on top. Gotta be honest, though - I’d root for the Warden’s team of prison guards from The Longest Yard before I would root for those cheating New England bastards.

[djf]

Yup!

TD Broncos!

[hattend]

Grrr

TD Pats

[hattend]

Missed the PAT? Woot!

I am at work and watching on the NFL.com Game Center... slow as molassas to update.

[hattend]

So, are the Bronco receivers dropping the ball a lot, again. Or are the passes uncatchable?

Again, I have no TV

I’m going to predict a Broncos win.

It sure looks like you are going to be right.

[hattend]

Score is still too close for comfort

[laplata]

That’s right. The last 3 points helps.
