Stidham’s got this.

Expat. Probably, a double naught spy

hmm, why does it look clear in CO, and it's snowing up a storm where I am?

I’m not sure they could have come up with four teams that I care less about. I don’t even have a team to root against because I just don’t care about any of them.

Yeah I'm pretty content with anyone winning but I feel like the NFCCG wins it all. Rooting for the Rams and I guess Denver so bet big of Seattle and NE

Sean Payton is infinitely more knowledgeable than I am about football but how do you not get Stidham an easy throw on first or second down to start the game? Got lucky he was strip sacked there on 3rd down

GO BRONCOS

Is Milton Williams playing? What number? I know he was hurt. Tia

 

[s1uggo72]

Well that looked easy.

I would have kicked that 100 times out of 100

 

[ApexLion]

I would have run up the middle.

 

[ApexLion]

I suspect Vrabel is a bit surprised that Denver is better upfront on both sides.

my dislike for the Pats has me slightly interested

I have a lot of Pat fan buddies on this board. For the first time ever, I think I’ll be a Pats fan.

 

[KingLando]

This turnover is why you kick that FG--you can't leave points on the board

 

[s1uggo72]

Biggest mystery to me is, how is Alex Singletary still playing in the nfl

 

[Ludd]

This is pretty boring, hopefully the second half is a little more exciting.

Imagine if the game was in Foxboro right now!!!

Now it's fun to watch.

Payton mismanaged this game IMO--tough to win with Stidham but lots of questionable decisions today

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Brutal throw/decision by Stidham. 2:11 left in the game, and Denver only has 1 TO left.

 

[rudedude]

NFC team will destroy the Patriots, whether it’s the Rams or the Seahawks.

[Phlebitis]

Should have taken the points
