11 - 5. I believe it is 2-2 in the post-season, and Peyton has edge in Conf Championship games, 2 to 1. Someone please correct me if any of this is mistaken.Thanks Prick. PS - In case you don't remember, Eli is 2-0 against Brady in the postseason.
Pretty sure its mixed crews during the playoffs so trying to figure out who is going to call what becomes even harder because its not the same umpire, back judge, etc. as during the season.That non-call was the result of the offiating team, not on any change from Gronk. The officiating crew against KC was noted for calling few, if any OPIs during the season.
One of the OPIs against Gronk against Denver was exactly the type of situation you describe above -- a subtle move with his left shoulder that created separation on the break. It all comes down to what official is watching Gronk
This is true. I guess my point was that Gronk has even been called on a subtle move, so it all depends on the officialPretty sure its mixed crews during the playoffs so trying to figure out who is going to call what becomes even harder because its not the same umpire, back judge, etc. as during the season.

Not sure, but San Diego did this the year the Pats beat them with Troy Brown at corner.Is that even legal?
Yes. This isn't the first time.Is that even legal?

Remember when Wille Mays brought the Mets all the way to the seventh game of the World Series? Now that was special.Hasselbeck was on ESPN Radio a little while ago and said that the fact that Manning is so below average now makes what he's doing even more special.

I'm quite confident about this game and early reports are that both Collins and Hightower will play. Their health -- and that of Jones -- is the only thing that to me opens up a window for the Broncos. If they play but are limited, it will let the Broncos both run and execute the short passing game. If they are healthy enough to be effective, though, then I just love this match-up: the Pats can bunch the line both to stop runs and short passes...having no fear of Manning going deep despite his excellent WRs.I'll feel better about the game once we see Collins and Hightower practicing.
Without them healthy Denver can run it down NE throat, limit possessions and gas the d by the end of the game.
Pitt has a strong run d, particularly at LB, which played a huge role in them stopping Denver all day.

Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall and Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski will be on the field at the same time. And Marshall addressed on Monday’s PFT Live the question of why it’s so hard to cover Gronkowski.
“I say ’cause he pushes off,” Marshall said. “I mean, he pushes off and he gets away with it about 98 percent of the time.”
Dude needs to get thrown outta the clubFull quote from Brandon Marshall:
This has definitely come up before...Yes. This isn't the first time.
It's not like any fan with an IQ over 90 couldn't figure out how to get a ticket.
Hogwash. Pure hogwash. Nobody listen to this guy.I'm a non-skier and I've very much enjoyed my summer visits to Colorado and western South Dakota. My son is moving to Utah in March and I'm looking forward to more visits to the Mountain West.
Who gives a rat's pattotiePFT Commenter's takes this week are so hot, Jerry Jones tried to grope them. Brady-Manning figures prominently.
Brady himself has been cheating for years by ommission. He's known for a long long time that eating tomatoes is a Performance Dehancing Drug and has kept silent. By allowing Manning to open up Papa Johns franchises left and right, Brady has been willfuly contributing to Mannings downfall.

Denver did this a few years ago against the pats. I helped someone on sosh get a ticket.Not sure, but San Diego did this the year the Pats beat them with Troy Brown at corner.
There's no doubt that Harris hurt. He only played 75% of the snaps against Pittsburgh and he clearly wasn't himself when he was on the field. But I do wonder whether there is some gamesmanship involved in him immediately declaring himself limited for next week and Kubiak saying that he is playing with one arm. Maybe he is just trying to make excuses for his own subpar play but I wouldn't necessarily take it at face value and I hope (and expect) the Patriots are preparing a game plan that makes no strong assumptions about his availability.We were talking in the injury thread about the limited availability of Chris Harris, Jr. Here is my take on it that I moved over to this thread as I thought it'd be more appropriate here.
If true about his limited availability, it's huge IMO. Harris is a versatile CB who can play the slot position better than Talib and Roby can. That would put Kayvon Webster in for more snaps which is a good thing. It would also theoretically limit Denver's ability to put Talib on Gronkowski. I've been of the opinion that Chris Harris is their best corner so if he's not on the field for the majority of snaps it severely hampers Denver's secondary. You already have an advantage when either Ward or Darian Stewart is in coverage and now Harris is limited. I'd say the odds of the Patriots going 4 and 5 wide for the whole game are at about 99.9%. In man you'd have something like this if Harris is limited :
Talib--LaFell
Roby--Edelman
Webster--Amendola
Lorenzo Doss--Martin
Marshall--White
Trevathian or Ward--Gronkowski
Do they bring in Harris to cover Edelman on 3rd downs? Are they dumb enough to put Talib on Edelman?
Let's also not forget that Omar Bolden is down for this game as well. That moves Shiloh Keo into being active as their 3rd or 4th safety.
Was about to post that but wasn't 100% certain. Glad someone else recalls it that way, too.Pretty sure the Rockies did it in 07 too.
I would run bubble screens and a sweep right at Harris if he is on the field on first down. Force him to take on blockers and make a tackle.There's no doubt that Harris hurt.

But I agree with your general point. If Harris is out or ineffective, that's huge. Denver really doesn't have a lot of secondary depth and has been fortunate to keep their top three CBs healthy pretty much all year. Webster has played 69 defensive snaps this year, Doss has played 3. I like any man-to-man matchup on those guys and especially situations like bunched receivers or other combination routes that require them to communicate well and make complex decisions on the fly.
Run some crossers to see if he can fight thru traffic as well.I would run bubble screens and a sweep right at Harris if he is on the field on first down. Force him to take on blockers and make a tackle.

Absolutely.Run some crossers to see if he can fight thru traffic as well.
Btw, you've got one too many skill position players to match up with here, at least on any given play.Talib--LaFell
Roby--Edelman
Webster--Amendola
Lorenzo Doss--Martin
Marshall--White
Trevathian or Ward--Gronkowski
