Fell asleep during the broncos pats game. The Broncos were up 14-0 when I fell asleep. What happened?

Pats had a huge comeback in the third quarter and most of the 4th quarter. Went into overtime and looked like it would end in a tie tbh but Pats punted it away, the ball bounced and hit one of the Broncos players so it was a live ball, the Pats got it at like the 10 and kicked a field goal and won.

How much were they down when the comeback started? Was Denver playing conservative and not throwing?

They were down 24-0 at the half. And nah it seemed like Denver was playing pretty normal once they realized the Pats weren't fucking around. They had a big run game but it was freezing and the winds were high so there were a lot of dropped balls.

Seen Decker only had 1 catch. Pats D must have done well because the first 14 points scored against them were all basically gift wrapped.

Yep, Talib was fucking people up. Probably should have been a couple penalties on him but whatever.

They couldn't throw because of the wind. Manning threw some bad INTs because of it.

 

[Danielson]

damn

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

not to mention I wouldn't say they 'got conservative' when running the ball because that was clearly the game plan from teh jump and it was working. Moreno made NE his bitch all night long

 

[Danielson]

I was just wonderin'. Passed out and they don't do the short cuts for prime time games.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Just trying to give you the full scope of what happened. It was a very strange game to say the least.

 

[Danielson]

Did Brady struggle throwing in the wind? Being down 24 makes it seem like he had to do a lot of throwing. Quick passes?

EDIT: 50 pass attempts for Brady, no picks, 344 yards and two tds. Rushing game looked like it wasn't that great.

Didn't seem to bother him as much as it did Peyton. They were using a lot of quick passes though to Vereen and Gronk up the seem.

Manning also had more pressure on him than I'd seen all season. Chandler Jones was a man possessed. And as mentioned before Tali essentially took away DeMaryious. No Julius.

oh and drops. I counted at least 4-5 drops for Denver WRs.

 

[Danielson]

Damn, so mad I passed out.

Crazy the Pats played what everyone was calling 'Game of the year' in Carolina and 6 days later they top it in every way possible
