[Wrongside]

Could have fooled me.

Didn't need to/ Should not have overturned that call ( The "backwards" pass). Regardless of what you feel, they would have been in their rights not to overturn that and nobody would have blinked an eye. How bout playing to the whistle? The Broncos receiver didn't and got punished for it.

15 yards for not getting back onto field quick enough. Very common. Very questionable.

Broncos outplaying them by a mile high stadium. Only up by 5 as I type this.

* Meant to say "did play to the whistle." As in he did not play after it.

I thought the lateral would stand, too close, but the ball was thrown from the 22.5 and landed on the 22.

The out of bounds 15-yarder was crazy. Guy ran right back in.

nfl does not hate the pats. that team has made the nfl endless amounts of money.

[pavyracer]

Spot on. Where are all of the Patsy fans that saidthat the refs would take the game away from them? Runthose losers out of here.

[pavyracer]

Belichek lost the game. Started going on 4th and goal too early. He needed to kick FGs.

[xdodger19]

The ref blew the whistle so the play should be ruled dead, since the offensive player thinks the play is dead
Of course it was a backward lateral and a bad play call.

Man just goes to show you how good pats line was for a decade. Your gonna get 27-56 from Brady with a shit offensive line period. Sucks for the defense they played very well today.

No taking the 3 pts with 6 plus min to go was game changer.

Absolutely; the 4th and 1 attempt was a very curious call but the second 4th down attempt was foolish. The Pats' defense had shut down the Broncos' O since mid-2nd and you had to figure they would get the ball back, which they did. IMO, the Pats are a better team, despite Brady's poor throws due to his nervousness.

Lol. The Broncos D was pressuring Brady all day. They weren't missing tackles and made the Pats offense look average. If anything, Manning's noodle arm prevented the Broncos from icing the game (ie: overthrew the receiver in the endzone).

If the Pats wanted a better chance to progress in the playoffs, they should have beat Miami in week 17 for the 1st seed.

Guess you were on the "Wrongside"

[samdapatriotsfan]

I don't see any mention of the offensive line. It was like NE had college lineman versus NFL monsters. Watch Klein, Cannon, Jackson, Fleming, all get beat on almost every single play. They even tried to double team Ware and Miller to no avail. It is absolutely embarrassing the offensive line they put out there. It was pathetic and if they did make it to the SB they would have been embarrassed like DEN was when they played SEA.

The swiss cheese offensive line blocking method did not work against the #1 defense.

On to 2016...
