Does anybody think that the Patriots will be a harder atmosphere than that? I mean...the ACTUAL ATMOSPHERE at that elevation is harder!
It's Patriot Way Pole Polishing at its finest.

That's why I said Jacksonville's defense didn't worry me.
Set aside personnel - there is not a single team we will play all season that will play a better game defensively than Denver did that night. There may be more talented defenses, but none of them will play to that level.
Jax took their best shot and they weren't anywhere near as dangerous as Denver was, interceptions be damned.
That Denver defense may have looked like shit against the Jets, but you really had to watch that game to see how ungodly well they played. They were EVERYWHERE. They were smart, they were hungry and they were ferocious.
You can't really impart just how unreal that performance from Mahomes was on anybody who didn't sit down and watch it from start to finish. There are no statistics or rankings that can explain how Denver played that night - their defense was as good as you will ever see for one evening.
