Pats / Donkeys 4th Q: Oh my god
Dude. I can't believe what I am watching in this game.
The Pats are just falling apart here. What is it about Denver? It's like they have kryptonite in their uniforms or something. I don't get it. The Pats don't play like this against anybody else in the league.
I would like to twist my own head off right now because this game is making lose my mind.
My wife asked me why I am torturing myself. Why don't I just go to bed?
Because I can't.
It's not like I'm going to sleep anyway. I'm just going to lie there in bed and wonder what's going on in the game, so I may as well watch it.
By the way, my hatred of the Broncos continues to grow as they jaunt around Gillette stadium, obviously making remarks at the fans around the field and trash talking with The Pats players.
I fucking hate them.
Maybe we won't win this game. I hope we see them again in the playoffs. One of these days we'll turn things around against this Denver team. Miami used to own us at one time too... Not anymore.
Can we at least score a TD here?
The Pats go to the 2 min drill and, thank-you Football Gods, my request is granted.
Ok. Now, I don't want to sound greedy but how about a little Broncos turnover. Maybe with a recovery by The Pats D? Please?
Well, there's 2 min left and the score is 17-7, Broncos. Somehow I kind of doubt The Pats are going to come back in this game. Of course, miracles can happen, but... it doesn't look good. Fuck.
This has been a rough game. Offensively, the running game was looking ok early, but then Dillon got hurt. I'm not sure what happened to him but he did not return after leaving the game. He suffered some kind of arm injury... Rookie Laurence Maroney has not done much since and the passing game is not clicking. I hate all the harping that goes on about the Deion Branch situation, but it's starting to become painful what the lack of quality receivers is doing to The Pats offense. As much as I love him, you can't rely on Troy Brown as your number one receiver. There were a lot of disappointing drops in this game as well. In some cases, receivers were getting hit on the numbers and could not hang on to the ball.
Defensively, I thought The Pats did a good job. The D is the only reason the Pats were able to stay in this game at all. The D kept things close, but after a continual stream of 3 and outs on offense, sooner or later, the other team is going to score, and they did. It sucks but that is the way it is.
Even though they are a 2-1 team, The Patriots are dealing with a little bit of adversity right now.
How will this season's team handle it? We'll find out. Next up, The Bengals.
GO PATS
You needed to bring out the Patriots beer mug earlier!
Anyway Dillon is hurt so lets see what Maroney will deliver.
2 weeks in a row and 2 big plays and a block punt kills us.

That blocked FG turned out to be pretty important. Who knows what happens if the Pats tie the score there? We'll never know. Ug.
