It was a great defensive game.
As a Pats fan, though, I have to point to the early missed extra point, which had a big effect on the game—it meant that the Pats had to decide whether to take an easy field goal in the fourth, or go for the TD and low-probability 2 point conversion.
Even as a Pats fan, I have to be happy for Peyton Manning. I hope he wins the Super Bowl, as this may be his last rodeo.
Great game by two admirable quarterbacks. Curious play: Patriots had the ball 4th and 2 yards with 8 minutes left in the game. The Patriots lined up, did not do a quarterback sneak, did not kick a field goal, and lost a play with an incomplete pass.
Denver was the better team today but the Patriots seemed to give up a good opportunity.
The Carolina and Phoenix game was tough to watch. 34-15 in the 3rd. Brutal loss for Palmer’s team.
The Pats should have taken the chance at fg points rather than gamble on 4th down. A fg and an onside kick would have been a better choice in my non coach opinion
I was a Cowboys fan from the Meredith days until Jerry Jones cured me, but am glad to see DeMarcus Ware get a chance to play in a Super Bowl. Wish Witten could have escaped Dallas, also.
