AFC Championship Game Thread

The way Brady is struggling makes you appreciate Ben's performance against that defense last week a lot more, with the shoulder, no Brown, the dropped passes and the fumble.

In Denver

Denver needs to quit wasting this good field position

 

[scraps]

Good stop D. Denver's about to get the ball with good field position.

 

[Lunar]

They should have had a TD.

 

[TDX27]

Sanders screwed up that 2nd down. Manning was right on but Sanders took another stutter step. Great kick, though!

 

[scraps]

Nice - Denver extends the lead.

 

[TDX27]

Denver gets the ball to start the 2nd. They need more points. They should be up by a lot more than 8 right now. Keep hitting Brady and they should be OK, though.

 

[RollRed]

I'm rooting for Denver like its the Steelers. I don't think our defense would have played this well against New England.

 

[Frosty]

Yes we know Jim, your Patriots have been thoroughly dominated but are only down one score.

 

[TazManianDevil]

After watching a half one thing is clear.....if we stay healthy no team can stop the Steelers from winning a super bowl. We have the best qb in AFC.

Ben with a bum shoulder and without brown dropped 300+ yds on that defense.....our OL played much better too.


I think Steelers players watching this game realizes this as well.

 

[Coryea]

Reminds me to much of our game vs Denver, we had opportunities to put points on the board, but instead we just let them hang around, Denver is letting NE hang around right now.

 

[Frosty]

nmnmnm

 

[TazManianDevil]

If Denver's defense plays that way another half....pats have no chance.

From ESPN SportsCenter on Twitter:


BREAKING: Cardinals' WR Larry Fitzgerald tears ACL in right knee practicing prior to championship game vs Panthers.

Is this a joke ?

 

[Frosty]

Yes.....just saw that it was.

 

[Coryea]

I think NE goes more max protect and looks for Gronk deep

 

[TDX27]

Terrible 3 and out but got a great punt. Hope their D comes out fast too.

 

[Lunar]

The Broncos might not score again.

 

[Coryea]

Playing not to lose, running every first down.

 

[Lunar]

Playing not to lose, running every first down.

It will come back to haunt them.

 

[Lunar]

Call the holding

 

[Steeltime]

If Tom Brady's semen caused throat cancer, Jim Nantz would currently be visiting an oncologist.

 

[TDX27]

Let's hope Gronk is out or banged up the rest of the game. Denver's O needs to do something here.

 

[TazManianDevil]

Nantz really wants to hand the trophy to Brady

 

[Lunar]

Going turtle won't win it for the broncos
