The AFC championship is going to be more entertaining than the Super Bowl.
False, the Broncos are a fraud. They barely beat a Patriots team earlier in the year that was decimated by key injuries, and even then it took overtime.
AFCCG will be a blowout. Cap it.
False, it will be the least interesting game of every game this entire season
>>65071764
>False, the Broncos are a fraud
They beat 2 Playoff NFC teams, the and the 2 and 3 seed in their conference. What more do you want?
>>65071764
But you fail to remember! A whole ton of the Broncos defense was missing and Emmanual Sanders didn't play and they were using a backup qb and still shut down Gronk after the first quarter and pressured Brady the whole game.
>>65071860
Didn't the Broncos have the hardest schedule out of any of the teams in the playoffs? Ohh yea they did didn't they and basically went 11-4 with no qb
>>65071819
>2 Playoff NFC teams
>Puckers
>Viqueens
>and the 2 and 3 seed
>bungholes
>injured pats with the help of refball in ot
Yep, they're a fraud
>>65071910
Those are good teams and you forgot the Chiefs and also the fact that they beat all those teams while spotting them the ball multiple times and with no qb.
>>65071910
Just wondering? Do you think your team could go 11-4 and make it to the AFC championship with basically no qb and Denvers schedule this season?
I can't believe you guys still do this shit with Denver.
This has been going on since Packers were supposed to rape them way back when and they blew them out. And how the Pats were going to win, and how the Bengals were going to win, etc.
They don't meme it up on offense so you stat babbies don't see them as a threat.
If this were in Foxboro it'd be one thing, but I don't know how Patsfags still weren't the least bit worried they fucked up with the 1 seed.
>>65071979
>Those are good teams
>good

Enjoy the blowout this Sunday
>>65072135
I really do love it when Pats fans underestimate Denver. This is indeed going to be a fun game to watch.
>>65071764
Last digit of your post matches your IQ I see
I say this as someone who really, really hates the Patriots and wants them to lose...but I suspect it won't be very interesting and we're going to watch the Broncos struggle to score 12 points.
Honestly all 3 remaining games should be fantastic
>>65072245
If Denver scores more than 23 points they are going to win this game Possibly fewer if they can shut Gronk down as well as they did last game.
>>65071878
They dove into Gronks knee and injured him. Thats how they "shut him down"
>>65071698
False
>>65071698
False, Pats blowout games are never entertaining
>>65072360
No that pretty much shut him down after the first quarter that was towards the end of the game.
>>65072096
>If this were in Foxboro it'd be one thing, but I don't know how Patsfags still weren't the least bit worried they fucked up with the 1 seed.
THIS desu senpai habibi insha'allah
It'll be a good game, but superb owl should be pretty good too. The only way I see the superb owl being boring is if Pey Pey memes his way into it then gets btfo by 40 points again.
>It's another Bet Against The Broncos At Home episode
>>65072488
I don't know if Denvers defense will allow them to get blown out. Their defense it legit terrifying it's the offense and dropped passes that hold the team back.
>>65071698
True. The Brady-Manning shitposting will be the highlight of the playoffs unless the Panthers go 18-1 against the Patriots

>>65072655
>a game
>a
>>65072655
Idk man it just seems like the Pats this time around are outmatched with Denvers team being healthy and I think all the Defensive starters are playing this time around and Sanders will be on the field as well and healthy. I mean yea the Pats have their WRs back but it won't really make a difference because Demvers corners are elite as fuck.i honesty tho even the backup corners Webster and Roby can handle those guys.
>>65071878
It's easy to shut down Gronk when he's the only uninjured player Brady can count on.
Everyone wearing a Broncos jersey on Sunday is getting personally gangraped by Brady Edelman and Gronk
>>65072356
>Implying this won't be the reason the Broncos win
>>65072730
pls don't bully Brady has an 11-5 record against Manning overall and 2-2 in the playoffs
>ITT: Guys who talk like Sanders is Edelman or Gronk
>ITT: guys who are forgetting noodle arm Manning is throwing the ball
Biggest question in this game is when does Manning get pulled.
You fags forget its Brock Lobster who was slinging the ball. That'll be the biggest factor. BB won't let them run and will challenge Manning into throwing it. BB will pull the same defensive scheme Chiefs did the 2nd time in Mile High. Its gonna be a joke. I hope Manning ordered express shipping on that HGH order.
>>65072759
Because he's probably the best QB at home the NFL has ever seen. Only 3-3 in the playoffs on the road though, and in that 2-2 the home team won all 4.
>>65072741
I just said I think your starting wide receivers aren't going to be any harder to shut down than the backups for Talib and Harris. Those two corners can probably handle anyone in the NFL short of Dez Bryant and Antonino Brown. He won't be able to throw to them reliably no matter which WRs start for the pats.
>>65072857
Also Von Miller was putting a ton of pressure on Brady last game and so was the line and this time around ware is going to be playing.
>>65072881
Big Ben is pretty hard to take down and has a pretty stout Oline and they were still breaking through and getting to him and forcing passes. Things Brady don't have.
>>65072356
you can only shut down gronk if edleman is out
nah, i have the feeling this game will be determined by refball, i just don't know by which side
>>65072834
Sanders is a better version of Edleman and Bellbell was trying to stop the run and obviously failed last time around.
>>65072957
Sanders drops as many passes as davante Adams
This is going to be one of those games where the Pats are up by 4 with 2:30 left on the clock and the Broncos have the ball. Cap it.
>>65072972
Sanders is one of most consistent guys on the Demver squad and is one of the main reasons the pats lost to the Broncos. He had one bad game against the steelers and now you assume he can't catch the ball anymore. He dropped like one catchable pass?
>>65073011
He dropped pass though out the season, what are you talking about?
>>65073036
Emmanuel Sanders is clutch as fuck? Do you even watch Broncos games?
>>65073050
I had sanders on my fantasy team this season. Guy puts up three points or thirty three. He knows no middle ground.
more entertaining than the NFC championship? I doubt that bud
>>65072733
The Patriots scored 24 points with the practice squad.
The team went from losing to the Jets and Lelphins to cruising through the Chiefs.
It's night and day what Amendola, Edelman, and a mediocre (as opposed to terrible) offensive line does for the Patriots.
>>65073076
That's because he doesn't get a million targets like Edleman. I promise you most of any coach in the NFL could have either of the two for free besids bill they'd all choose Sanders and hell maybe even bill.
>>65073076
That's because Sanders doesn't get a million targets like Edleman if you offered to give one of the two to any coach for free I guarantee they would all take Sanders besides Bill and hell maybe even him.
>>65073107
>>65073191
My bad. Phone is being autistic just hide one of those.
>>65072914
wat, Pitts game plan is for long developing plays. The Patsies just get the ball out insanely fast, that's how they play. It neuters the pass rush unlike Shittsburgh's O.
>>65073191
They have different roles. Edelman is better at his niche.
>>65071698
i'd rather watch the TSUUUper bowl
this is a new meme
>>65073223
Didn't work to well last game and that was without ware and other defensive starters. I just think this game isn't going to be a cake walk like some people want to believe.
>>65072978
yeah and manning will get fucking sacked and turn it over on downs, or alternatively intercepted
manning isn't shit this year. You're hitching your wagon to a fucking loser.
>>65073100
Nothing entertaining about two meme teams going at it.
>>65073277
But you will with the game right?
>>65073321
Watch" I really do hate auto correct with all of my heart.
>>65073277
Denver and New England are just sucessfull franchise teams. The cowboys are more what you are talking about or maybe the Bronocos when Tebow was the qb.
>>65073321
>>65073368
No, I won't. I only watch Pats games.
>>65073408
Yea right, and Grizzly Adams had a beard.
>>65073428
Grizzly Adams DOES have a beard!
I'm not Buncos fan, but I watched a few games and noticed that none of y'all recievers can catch.
What's up with that
>Broncos
>Entertaining
Pick one.
>>65074152
Emmanuel Sanders was incredibly clutch last season and has been pretty good this year too but with Peyton's reduced accuracy and arm strength he's thrown a lot of floaters that have left all his receivers vulnerable. Sanders got concussed last year, probably twice, and once more this year on top of a number of other big hits. He still goes all out for the majority of plays but I think it's taken away his fearlessness just a tiny bit.
Demaryius is a bit of a head case since his new contract and bad playoff game last year, we'll see if he gets back to dominating defenders like he can do.
>>65073908
>had
Grizzly Adams is dead brah
>>65071698
From an interest point about the QB's in maybe their final battle for legacy, yes. In terms of quality football, no.
This does really feel like the final meeting at the end of an action movie between the two main characters of the last 15 years though.
>>65077240
Why would you pick the Broncos.
Also your little thing there makes no sense.

>>65072419
Yea, they triple teamed him because the Pats had zero starting receivers
>>65077447
And Brady STILL brought them back by converting two fourth downs on the #1 defense
If that's not GOAT I don't know what is.
>>65071698
False. Super Bowl will be changing of the guard.
Brady/Peyton will lose to Cam.
And to cap it off Cam is black. And /sp/ will burn and fume for days...
>>65072096
It's literally a fucking stadium you stupid shit. There are no magical voodoo properties that make it impossible to win in.
People keep posting dumb irrelevant garbage like Manning's record vs. Brady, Brady's record in Mile High, Peyton's record in the playoffs etc... Nothing else matters on Sunday except the Broncos vs. the Patriots and a MARGINAL home field advantage. You guys are taking the same bullshit that marketers and sportscasters peddle to fill airtime and using it to try and make a legitimate argument about which team is stronger.
>>65077455
Yea because Edleman and AD are going to make a difference and save the day right? Those guys are going to shut some of the best corners in the nfl down and denver wont be able to "double" team Gronk. Im sure Brady is going ti be fine even though last time he was pressured into throwing bad passes and that was without ware and a bunch of other defensive starters playing.
>>65077495
>Yea because Edleman and AD are going to make a difference
...yea, they are. Did you watch the Chiefs game?
>>65077495
Edelman is 50% of the offense. Regardless, most of Denver's yardage was through the run game, which won't be nearly as effective against NE's healthy linebackers. I don't want NE to win but if you don't think they're favored this game you're fucking delusional
>>65077516
implying the chiefs corners could cover as well as denvers which in turn makes Brady hold the ball longer which makes him more vulnerable to the pass rush. Hes not going to be able to get the ball out as quick with Talib and Harris covering those guys and now he has the added threat of Ware to worry about on top of Miller.
Denvers recevers should be able to easily get open against the pats. If they decide to show up and catch the ball Tom Brady could end up like Aaron Rodgers.
>>65077549
tbf harris is badly injured
>>65077570
Thats when you just use Roby or Webster. Denvers Backup corners are better than most starters in the nfl. They arent the number one defense for no reason.
>>65077390
The Broncos aren't entertaining you daft Mafck
>>65077564
>easily get open
Are you retarded? NE has one of the highest rated secondaries in the league
>>65077611
Devers recievers and the patriots cornerbacks are a huge mismatch. The snow saved you from getting blown out in the last meeting. Slippery balls and tons of wide open dropped passes.
>>65077632
But when Denvers corners managed to hang on to the ball the pretty much covered the field in two passes.
>>65077611
Malcolm butler is for real, logan ryan I am not convinced about, and i think the fact that we have a very underrated players at safety (Jamie harmon, and Devin Mcourty) help him a lot.
>>65077642
My bad WRs
>>65077632
>Devers recievers and the patriots cornerbacks are a huge mismatch
According to what, your ass? NE has two top ranked corners and one of the best safeties in the league.
>>65077645
How the fuck is McCourty underrated?
>>65077656
Naa not really. Its just the ass teams you play.
>>65077632
>delusional buncos fans
Did you forget who your quarterback is? Or are your receivers catching perfectly thrown balls every time?
>>65077656
People seem to forget about him, I threw him in there with harmon, who is truly underrated.
>>65077680
Implying Peyton wasnt accurate and looking good in his last game. Its the receiving core which is why I said if they start making these wide open catches and extending drives Tom can end up getting Rodgered.
>>65077676
>the ass teams you play
You mean seven of the top-15 passing offenses in the NFL? Why are you even posting?
>>65077706
Why cant you pats fans just accept you had a baby scedual? Everyone else seems to agree?
>>65077705
>67.9 QBR this season
>looking good
you're setting yourself up for heartbreak kiddo
>>65077725

>>65077718

Boy you are retarded arent you? I just addressed that.
>>65077705
>yfw Brady has thrown more touchdown passes in Dever than Manning this season
>>65077742
Probably because its common sense. Do you honestly believe in your heart that the Pats had a tough scedual this season?
>>65077705
He didn't look good last game. He was throwing ducks all day vs a bottom 3 secondary in the league and everyone is conveniently forgetting that Peyton threw the ball right to Gay on that final TD drive and that would've been a game losing pick had Sanders not turned into an elite CB for 1 play
>>65077762
>>65077718
>scedual
denver "fans"
>>65071860
...and lost to the Clots
>>65077775
Dolphins?
>>65077767
>almost picks count
so brody thew 2 picks last game and single handedly lost the pats the game
>>65077767
>implying Sanders doesn't have more talent than Edleman and Amendola combined.
>>65077762
Statistically, the AFCE was one of the hardest divisions in football this year - tied with the NFCS for most wins. In addition to those six games, they also played four eventual playoff teams.
>>65077495
A similar Patriots team put up 28 points against the best defense (including pass rush and secondary) in the NFL last year to win the Superbowl. I know you probably weren't watching football back then, but try to keep up. Your secondary isn't going to shut down shit
>>65077804
If we want to evaluate individual play, it should be counted as a pick. It's not like the DB almost had it, he caught it and Sanders knocked it out. It not being a pick had nothing to do with Peyton
>>65077804
It literally was an interception, it was just well defended against afterwards by Sanders. I'm not saying it counts statistically, but don't pretend chicken parm didn't throw it
>>65077846
I think if the Dolphans can them to ten points (which btw was in more recent memory) there is no reason the best defense in the nfl wouldn't be able to.
>>65077882
Hold"
>>65077865
>>65077877
so brody had 2 of them against the "chiefs".
>>65077897
none of them were caught by the DB. They weren't good throws but they were much further from an actual pick than Peyton's thrown
>>65077904
so your banking on defenders dropping balls thrown into their hands, and broncos receivers dropping easy catches
>>65077897
how are those even remotely comparable?
>>65077918
Not every ball that touches a receivers/DBs hand is a drop.
And yes, I'm actually counting on Thomas dropping a few. He has some of the worst hands in the league
This game is going to go one of two ways
1. Close game but broncos defense pulls through and gets the win.
2.Brady and company gets complety shut down the the Denver D.
3. Broncos receivers drop 9+ passes and lose a close game.
>>65077950
So the only way the Broncos can lose if WRs drop 9+ passes?
I should be saving those shitposts
>>65077950
The third option isnt very likely but I added it just to humor you guys even though I only said two ways. Np senpai
>>65077950
>Close game but broncos defense pulls through and gets the win

>mfw this is literally what 12s said last year before the owl

>>65077950
>denver's legendary 14th ranked passing offense
>>65078002
It was enough to go 11-4 and beat the pats with a lobster.
>>65077945
>Not every ball that touches a receivers/DBs hand is a drop.
those were right on the money tho. good luck with those broncos cb making those kinds of mistakes
>>65077944
how aren't they?
>>65077974
to be fair, brady wasn't looking like brady until the 4th quarter.
>>65078011
Peters is a better ball hawk than any of Denver's corners so I'll take my chances
Is it fair to blame alot of the drops on mannings ducks last game? They were not all because of this, but it definitely had something to do with it
>>65078028
they aren't very high.
Besides if Peyton starts to struggle they can out Brock Lobster in. He's never lost a single game to Tomtom.
I'm amazed Denverfags can be this delusional. Two years ago should've made it clear that Manning is never going to win shit for you and he's now half of what he was then.
>>65071860
>stealers

>>65078178
Literally who?
how many will he throw this weekend?
>>65078220
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HP9l__A8QI
>>65078220
Hopefully as many as he did last week. Im worried about Bradys safety more than anything at this point with the return of Ware. You did see what happened in the last meeting even without him.
>>65078260
That was without Edelman. Brady's average release time with Edelman in game is 2.13s, without him it jumps to 2.65s.
>>65071878
your backup is better than your starter
>>65078450
Average at best at this point in his career. Dont you mean the Broncos as a collective team are better?

broncuck here, same nigpai. good luck to brady, but honestly hoping for a fun super bowl to watch.
>>65077460
But will it be better than 2012 when flacco won?
>>65078587
Broncos came up with 14 INTs during the regular season, the Chiefs came up with 22.
Chiefs are objectively a better team at intercepting the QB than Broncos.
>>65071819
It can't be worse than the shitfest that Chefs-Texans was, or Tits-Jags on T, or Rams-Buccaneers.
all afc games are shit so no
>>65078809
on TNF*
>>65078817
Steelers-Bingles was pretty sweet.
>>65078028
Peters is also not a good cover guy. He intercepts very few passes considering how often he is targeted
The Pats let Denver win that regular season game in order to dissect their game when they play at their best. The Buncos still haven't seen New England with the dialed up intensity they bring in the playoffs. The Pats will control the game from start to finish. Even at points that the score might be close, things won't be. There is no way Denver wins. You can cap this.
Rhode Island's banter game is strong
>>65078501
Most patriots fans probably. Especially the younger ones who have never seen the pats when they were bad and are some of the most whiney and entitled fans in the NFL
>>65078501
Aiming directly and purpousefully for Gronk's knees, especially after all the injuries he's sustained to them, IS rather dirty. It would be like trying to intentionally take Manning's head off specifically to re-aggravate his neck injury
>>65078907
You have to tackle gronk low to get him down, sometimes shit happens
>>65078882
>probably
and even if so, wow, he found a small inconsistency between what a team's fan on 4chan said and what Tom Brady said. He sure showed us all
>>65078927
I do wish he'd just hop up off his feet and absorb the tackle when people do that to him more often

>>65077516
I did and KC forgot that to get tom to hold the ball they need to play man not zone. Seriously man and double gronk and they are good. Drop in zone or get blitz happy and they are fucked.
>>65077846
>Sherman, Chancellor, Thomas injured, the guy that had his endzone pick broke his arm on the play.

LOL WAT
There isn't a single corner in the game of football who can shut down Edelman, and together with Gronk they're unstoppable
You niggas fail to realize we DIDN"T HAVE OUR OFFENSE in the matchup earlier in the year and we STILL dominated your asses until our defense started getting injured by your cheap shots too
This game will be straight domination, a straight ass kicking., Broncos will be ded. Believe it.
