Football Patriots @ Broncos - who wins? - Page 2

Tex, Pasta, others... don't worry, this isn't a divisional preview.

Since the outcome of this game weighs heavy on some of your plans for KC running the table and supplanting Denver as the divisional winner, I figured I would start this thread to be the place for all the game chatter this week.

In another thread, Amnorix and I both have stated that neither of us expects our team to win this one... he gives NE a 50/50 chance thanks in large part to the OL and injuries. And, I get it. I had this pegged as a "very winnable" game with a healthy Peyton Manning, but that was well before 9 TD / 17 INT Manning reared his ugly head.

Brock gets the start and that's never a good thing for a young guy against this coach and that QB. Location and the Denver defense gives me reason for hope, but the Patriots have a sweet defense as well and as long as they have Tom Brady and the Gronk - they can win.

The Broncos should have Sanders back and offensively, they have a lot of options with DT, Sanders, Daniels, Davis, Hillman, Anderson (among others) - they're deep. Question is, how will the Patriots game plan to stop Kubiak's offense. It won't be a mystery really, but they don't have much to go on with Brock... however, they'll be ready and they'll give him fits.

And, they're still undefeated... they're a pretty good team.

Overall, Brady is 5-5 vs Denver and has a losing record in Denver (I believe)... again, nothing more than just historical reference there.

I've gone back and forth on scores and while you can call it reverse mojo, it's not ... but I think the Patriots win this one 23-17.

I do think that Brock enters this game with less pressure than last week @ Chicago, only because it's my belief that the team 'hoped' they could win this game with a healthy Manning and that's not possible... so Brock, has lower expectations (hopefully).

So, since this is critical to KC's drive to reach 10/11 wins and knock Denver from the lead... what are the thoughts from the KC faithful?

Enjoy...

Is this a trick question?

But I do think it will be close, I think both offenses will look pretty ugly, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Patriots lost. If they win, though, they get a bye locked up, with a probable #1 seed, so it's critical that we win.

Win or loss the #1 seed is theirs.

Agreed. And, Stevieray --- never asked who you were rooting for in this one.

Problem is that the Denver D is very undisciplined and make many mental mistakes leading to big plays every game. Denver D is extremely overrated and haven't been that great since the headlines had them labeled as an all time great. Happens every year some D is compared to 85 bears/00 Ravens and recently it was the Chiefs a couple years ago and the 2006/09 Broncos. Patriots D does not give up the stupid blown coverage's like Denver does and Wade doesn't have the ability or the nuts to play like Rex did last night.. Patriots coaching and scheming is such a huge advantage for them over Denver.

Heh, no shit.

I'd cheer for ISIS over Denver.

Denver. 20-3

The refs can't keep it close.

Wretched Scum Pats - 29
Cheating Donx - 13

Wait/What?

This seems like the nicest, most well rounded answer of all.

I think that is likely, based on the remaining schedule. But the win seals the deal. A loss leaves room for doubt.

Before I can answer, I need to know which players from each team are currently suspended for cheating or cheap shots.

Not really. Denver/Cincy have a loss because they play and I can see both of them losing 1 or two more. Pats fans have zero to worry about.
