Do we have enuff for Brady & Belli ?

[Jetmeck]

To me it depends on which Denver team shows up ?

Don't give up the big plays early and its possible ?

keeping those big E's in check will be the key.. as for our pass rush if we can't bring it with 4, brady will eat us alive like Manning used to do.. Blitz him and he will throw to the empty area..

Keeping him off the field will be tough and their DL will not be as soft as OAKs was..

Unless we play a perfect game we have little chance..

IMO..

Something that I think Denver should do next week against Brady is blitz Von right up the middle a little bit more. IMO he has always done very well blitzing right up the middle he is just too quick for the guard or center to get a hand on him. This will help throw off some of their offense's timing.

we might be in line for a gronking, to be honest

I think it will be a close game. That ameba D worked out pretty well..we'll see if works against Brady. As long as we don't turn the ball over I like our chances.

[maven]

No.

I expect a Denver loss.

[Br0nc0Buster]

I doubt we have enough
I would love to be proven wrong though, but I am not confident about next weeks game

Not sure who will cover Gronk, he should prolly be bracketed by a LB and a S to be honest

[sirhcyennek81]

NE's secondary is awful. Should be some opportunities there. I dont expect NE to drop 40 on Denver again. Whoever has the ball last, wins.

[SoCalBronco]

This will be Brady's message to his offensive line after enduring a physical beat down at the hands of Jean Claude VonDoom:

[maven]

Stop their running game and denver has a chance

[Agamemnon]

If you look at how these two teams have played so far I'd say they are probably fairly evenly matched. New England is at home so they have the advantage, but there's no reason to think we can't beat them if we play well.

[spdirty]

Absolutely. We can keep up with them and hopefully the mane's appeal to suspend Joe Mays for another week goes through.

We can beat those candy asses. I'm benching Lloyd on my FF team.

[Schism]

I expect lots of double teams on Gronkowski, the absence of Hernandez is great for us. Champ will go one on one with Lloyd quite a bit presumably, that'll be a fun matchup.

We're not going to be able to stop the Patriots from moving the ball pretty consistently down the field. Very few teams do, and our D isn't at that level. The key will be to make them kick a lot of Field Goals and to force a turnover or two from somewhere.

If our defense can do that, we have a shot.

On offense, getting Kuper back would be huge. We can't afford a slow start like we've had against Atlanta and Houston, Manning and the rest of the offence needs to be on from the first whistle. Don't give away anything cheap.

It'll be a tough game, but on a good day I think we can give anyone a real scrap. Pats have to be considered favourites obviously, but it's not an impossible task. I'm looking forward to it, it'll be interesting to see where we are in relation to another elite NFL team.

Week 6 on the other hand I'm completely dreading. That game is going to be absolutely huge. A win in San Diego and we'll be looking really good in the division going into the bye with the hardest part of our schedule finished.

I don't follow. Why are you dreading playing the Chargers. They are probably the worst 3-1 team in the league right now. They've beaten three bad teams and were slaughtered by the one good team they played. The Chargers are only slightly better than the Raiders and Chiefs, mainly in that they are less self-destructive.

Just because it's going to be such a huge game for our season.

I think we're a better team than they are, but a road game on MNF is tough no matter who you're playing and anything can happen in a one off game. It's not going to be an easy game.

A loss could potentially send us to the bye at 2-4 while the Chargers would be either 5-1 or 4-2 with a 3-0 record in the division, that's not a good spot for us.

It's going to be a huge game, and I'm always really nervous before huge games.

[broncocalijohn]

NE will be tough but I feel much better than last season. That team isn't as tough and we are better on both sides of the ball. We can hang some points on them. Nice long drives to keep Brady pissed he is sitting on the sidelines. Such a big win if we can pull this one out. One of the losses I had us taking. I would love to be wrong.

[24champ]

Manning has won 4 of his past 6 meetings against the Patriots.

It will be a good shootout game, and you know McD is going to be fired up for this one in the same manner that Shanny was against the Raiders.

[Durango]

Brady gets hot, it's a scorefest. Peyton AND Brady get hot and it could be the best regular season game this year, not to mention both QB's can completely demoralize defenses. Great entertainment potential, and Denver could win, unlike that 'thing' last January.

I'll be starting Gronkowski in fantasy. That's all I'm saying.

How do you sleep at night, oh the hypocrisy ?

[WolfpackGuy]

Get out to a lead again and set the dogs loose on Brady.

[Jetmeck]

Hernandez out for sure ?
