A great game for sure and as I expected it was right down to the wire although I sincerely thought they were going to lose this game. Ofcourse we took a huge hit though by losing Edelman, Id trade that Win for Edelmans injury not happening but hopefully he will be back on the field for the playoffs.
According to the latest, Edelman should be back before the start of the playoffs. I supposed that's good, but I don't know how effectively he'll be as I'm sure he'll be a bit rusty and his foot will still be sore.

he can be rusty for the first game of the playoffs, but not for the second and third.
Tougher game than I thought against the Bills but a good victory none the less. Im starting to stress about these injuries piling up, hopefully Amendola's knee will be ok going forward.
As a die hard eagles fan I am PRAYING the pats put up 100+ on my "culture" team aka the pigeons! I will watch as my man chip looks on in shame and embarr*****ment!

Im just hoping for 2 things, a Victory and NO MORE INJURIES
Honestly the no injury thing is almost more important at this point
Hi AL! Im not that concerned about Denver tonight, I expect a tough game even without Manning in there. Again my main goal with this game is to avoid any injuries and hopefully pull out a W

Originally posted by: MCMLVTopps Looked like a couple of "iffy" calls at key times...like the sack of O, and the Gronk interference call.
But, it is what it is, hopefully we get Gronk and Amendola back this week...then Edeleman for the playoffs.
Gotta hand it to the Denver QB, he made some nice throws against a pretty good defensive team.
Agreed, the Pats got the worst of calls but in reality they lost because Denver was always in it. I was terified about the Gronk injury but definately feeling better about the reports of him not even missing a game, HOPEFULLY these reports are accurate for sure.
From my own point of view, the Denver victory was the best possible outcome.
It was a very competitive game, with the Patriots having the upper hand for most of the game, but Denver was still in the game. The Denver QB showed poise and good decision making, particularly in the 4th quarter and in overtime.
I would not mind seeing Manning sit out for a few more games to see how well his backup does. If he continues to play well maybe Peyton should be placed on injured reserve for the remainder of the season and announce his retirement.
I would like to see Denver and New England play again in the playoffs.
Amazing what a single turnover can do sometimes. The Pats were in complete control until that muffed punt, then it was as if they changed uniforms.
As an aside, the ambiguity of NFL rules sure does spice things up, doesn't it? Determining what constitutes a catch and what doesn't nowadays is akin to asking the SC&M forum how a raw card will grade out; just forget about complete unanimity cuz you're not gonna get it. Always makes for solid television when Jim Nantz tosses it to Mike Carey who adamantly opines, then seconds later the officiating crew opts for a different interpretation.
I recall having a high opinion of Carey as a ref, but he is downright awful on the air compared to Pereira.

I don't like to see the Pats lose to Denver , I think that if Manning was in there they wouldn't have. Ostweiller made some mistakes but he made some great throws that Peyton would not have .
I don't see many Denver games so I'm wondering 2 things ,
, is Emmanuel Sanders always that great ?
and conversely is Thomas always that soft? Logan Ryan is just not that good that was embarr*****ing
I am shocked they lost this game, I thought Chip had "lost" his team and boom they hang 35 on my beloved Pats. Obviously missing some key personell but still should have played far better.
The Panthers/Saints game was broadcast to the Atlanta market...I must admit, an exciting game, but the "score ticker" was surprising me with Pats scores...or lack thereof.
The Pats will do ok...just need to get Gronk and Edelman back on the field.

They SHOULD be fine looking at the schedule but if any game looked like a sure win it was the Eagles so who knows.
I solid victory, now that we are back to reality it was getting annoying listening to all the stupid nonsense about how much of a tough game we were in for last night. Gotta love Denver AND Cincy losing
Well you guys may know that while my Bostonian wife is BoSox first, we do traditionally have ourselves a nice SB party whenever her Patriots make the big game Do we know yet what all special they got planned for the big Super Bowl 50? Perhaps a gold Vince Lombardi trophy for example? And is that coffee table SI just released to commemorate the SB's 50th anniversary any good?

Yea the Pats are taking their lumps this season but in the same breath we got VERY lucky with Gronk, Edelman and Amendola. Blount will be missed but a RB can be found to fill the gap, the Pats are pass first but have always done their best with a back that can play smashmouth.
Im hoping the injuries will at least slow down now!

It has been reported that the NFL tested the PSI of footballs before, during and after the game. Perhaps Goodell was praying for a "gotcha" moment at Gillette stadium yesterday. No results of the air-worthiness of the pigskins were offered.
seems the entire NFL (corporate) is doing its best to work against NE this year.

The unproven new RB did well. Not surprised anymore. Plus now almost any Rb can be plugged in for another. Although I have a feeling these injuries are going to finally catch up to them.
BTW, the surprise air pressure tests were negative. So far.

I think Bill thought that kicking off, getting a stop and kicking a FG on a shorter field was his best bet plain and simple. With the mounting injuries especially at left tackle and the fact that NE didn't move the ball that well all game played into that decision. I think he may have thought that if NE received the kick in OT and went three and out he would be in trouble. I also think he didn't want to get Brady killed with a new LT picked up on waivers last week from the juggernaut LIONS who is actually a RT. Bill played conservative all day. It was to survive. Lose the battle and win the war. JMHO

Geez Paul, kinda sounds like Salisbury in February.
Enjoy the game, I might have to sip some Jack to stay warm for this one.
I wish Amendola and Edleman were in the game...we don't need anymore injuries!!

"If I say something in the woods and my wife isn't there to hear it.....am I still wrong?"
My Washington Quarter Registry set...in progress
I think we took the eagles lightly in the first half and it cost us.
My Eagles couldn`t beat the Dolphins, Bucs, or Lions. They go to NE and win.
Classic NFL ofcourse, what should happen doesnt and what shouldnt happen does.
The Pats will do ok...just need to get Gronk and Edelman back on the field.
maybe we will get to see an earlier playoff game now?
Im really hoping we can get that first round bye!

Because Cincinnati still must play Denver, one of them must lose.
If they run the table they will get a first round bye.
