Beli-cheat doesn't even look homeless today.
It's the AFC championship between two colossal cheating organizations - hooray!
Bring on the NFC game already
Decker looked open there for the TD. Well, 3 better than nil.
It's the right strategy. But it's bizzare watching Denver stack the box and daring Brady to beat them.Pats are going to have open guys for plays downfield.
Nice drive there.

To New York New Jersey apparently.
How does Paris Lenon keep finding jobs in the NFL?

Hell of season by Manning! (so far)
I thought the Bronco's had pulled away enough with the FG to make it 26-10.
Now it's 26-16 with a little over 3 minutes to go....Cheatriots with 3 Time Outs left, however.
I've seen stupider stuff happen.

My favorite day of the year will always be the day New England is eliminated from the playoffs. What an awful group of players and fans.
and yah, did anyone else throw up when horseface held the AFC trophy?? Ugh..... I just can not deal with Elway..... ugh.
Did I miss the part where Brady went around congratulating Manning, etc. on a good game? I saw him hurrying to the tunnel - I thought maybe he had to go potty really bad.

Stupidest tradition in sports, do MLB's shake, conerbacks, left tackles?
Good sportsmanship ranks just below the wave in my book of stupid sports traditions.
Brady went directly to Manning and shook his hand.
Ok, then I did miss it. Still doesn't change my general opinion of him.

Disagree. Ever watch NHL playoff hockey?
From TMQ:
Stats of the Championships No. 1: Before Spygate, Bill Belichick's Patriots were 12-2 in the playoffs and 3-0 in the Super Bowl. Since the taping scheme was discovered, they are 6-6 in the postseason and 0-2 in the Super Bowl.
Stats of the Championships No. 9: In the 2010 regular season, the Patriots averaged 32.4 points; they scored 21 points in their playoff loss. In the 2011 regular season, the Patriots averaged 32.1 points; they scored 17 points in their playoff loss. In the 2012 regular season, the Patriots averaged 34.8 points; they scored 13 points in their playoff loss. In the 2013 regular season, the Patriots averaged 27.8 points; they scored 16 points in their playoff loss.
Teams score less when they lose than when they win? No ****.q, Sherlock!
Curious if scoring in general goes down in the playoff.
hypothesis- less flags thrown on the defenses in playoffs makes for lower scoring in general.
Someone get on this for me.
Scoring goes down in the playoffs because you are playing against the better teams and presumably the better defenses in the NFL.
The Packers scored well below their season average in their playoff loss as well.
So let's say team A & team B played in the regular season, team A scored 35 on team B. Now the same two teams meet in the playoffs but team A wont score 35 because team B has a better D now because they're in the post season.
Gotcha.
well, wouldn't the same hold true (and even things out) that the better team offenses are in the play offs?
Unless the assumption is that defense trumps offense in terms of making to the play-offs, but I don't think that is true (again, speculating).
The "refs let more things go on D" theory is interesting.
