If Hightower goes down again, Pats D could be in big trouble with Mayo being put on IR and Collins being dinged up.  Broncos could definitely gash the Pats with the run.
I can't even name a linebacker on the depth chart after Freeney.

Bostic but you don't want him playing anything but special teams at this point.  Then you have Darius Fleming who, apparently, was playing injured last week after saving some woman in a fire the week before.

From a lifelong KC Chiefs fan (since 1969):  please, please, please Patriots beat the Broncos!

Nice to have you aboard. We hope to oblige!

Thank you.  I'll even promise to stop hating Robert Kraft if the Pats win on Sunday!!  ;)

I was very bitter when they earned themselves this trip to Mile High. This being said, if you want to be  the best you have to beat everyone, everywhere. And if you can't... it doesn't matter much when you lose, does it?

By the way, the Broncos are already running their mouths. I love it, keep it coming.

After seeing how your Pats completely neutralized my Chiefs' pass rush (albeit we were badly banged up), I have great confidence that they will keep Miller & Co. away from Brady.  Late in the season, the Chiefs rolled into Denver and embarrassed the Broncs, so I see no reason for the Pats to fear the thin air and home atmosphere there. 

The Broncs barely beat the Steelers who had a QB with a damaged throwing shoulder and no Antonio Brown, in Denver. 

Be careful, though, as the Broncs have both Miller and T.J. Ward, so you can expect plenty of cheap shots on your key players. 

Go PATS!

Honestly, I'd have no problem with Danny Amendola taking out Ward on some sort of a rub-route, sort of how Welker did to Talib.

He did a great job of taking out a defenseless Jamell Fleming of the Chiefs.  Yeah, unleash him on those Broncs.

Overwhelming media consensus seems to be that this should be a clear cut win for the Pats.  Not sure how to feel about that.

I get nervous when I hear stuff like that. I think the Patriots should win, and they may even be capable of a clear-cut victory, but this seems like a bit of a trap if they're not careful.

The Pats are in trouble.
The start to the game was doubly bad not only did they give up a touchdown but they went against their normal strategy of kicking off to start. Not only are they down but they will have one less possession than normal going forward.

As bad a start as I could have envisioned (short there being a turnover).  Now 4th down.

The decision to turtle the last two games of the season and concede the #1 seed to Denver is beginning to look like an unmitigated disaster.


All part of what my dad just loves to rant and rant about -- the arrogance of Belichick.

If they insist on making this into a track meet in the thin air I completely agree

The Pats will get no help whatsoever from the refs today. The refs are only calling it one way. This has been set up as a hose job for Peyton and so far he's taking full advantage
