Denver leads 14 to 9 midway thru the 2nd quarter. Turnover by each cost them a TD. Manning looking pretty decent so far.

Big penalty there, gives Pats a good start to this drive.

Denver is all up in Brady's business. The only way to consistently beat the Patriots.

Watching the last two weeks of the playoffs makes me think even more that McCarron is going to be a very good qb. In his second career start he played these same Broncos and had pressure on him all game and stood in there and played well. As we see even the best qb of all time in Brady is having trouble when pressured but yet McCarron did a very good job considering it was his second start ever. Then even last week we seen Pittsburgh defense play very well against Manning and in pouring rain McCarron put the team in position to win. I know this is not a Bengals thread but these games makes it that much more impressive to me on how good McCarron will be.

 

Now as for this game its been a good game but not to exciting yet.

Dalton is the Bengal QB. His job to lose in the future. Back to Denver, that kick looked like it would have been good from 60. Smart to walk off the field during Patriot timeout.

Denver defense very impressive so far but I have to think NE will get things figured out in the second half.

Guess not.

Great defensive game by both teams thus far.

Sure is.

Interesting personal foul on Denver. By the rule I see it.

 

I also see a lot worse ignored

Big stop by the Broncos on that drive. I would have gone for it to.

Looks like the Broncos defense in offsides about 50% of the time. Ware was definitely early on that 4th down play.

Looked incomplete to me.

They are on the cusp but part of that perception is how badly they've beaten the Patriot O Line.

Time for vintage Brady.
