Good stuff from Alen Dumonjic, looking back at BB’s game plan against the K-gun in 1991. Very curious to see if there are any defensive twists this weekend against Manning. Most wouldn’t be surprised if BB did the same thing he did the first time around, especially with a better-run stopper in the middle.

Oh boy, this one gives the chills….
Realistically, how do you think this game will play out?
Pats come out a little tight, spot Peyton a lead (not 24-0), somewhere in the 10 or 14 to 0 or 3 area. Pats settle in and come back, playing lights out in the third.
Game comes down to late in the fourth quarter where the Patriots either close it out with their running game leading the way, or Peyton puts up one last drive to either win it or lose it.
Should we really expect Jamie Collins do replicate the game he had against the colts?
I agree this is a concern and as I said on the podcast this morning I really think Collins needs to be a key defender if the Pats are going to win one or two more games.
He doesn’t need to be all-everything unstoppable like he was against the Colts, but he needs to continue to play with confidence and let the game come to him.
He’ll have his hands full this weekend with Julius Thomas (at times, not all the time), but look for him to get sent after Peyton a few times, especially in the second half.
His future is bright, but we can’t expect too much out of Collins, especially not singlehandedly carry them to a Super Bowl title.
Not many people giving us a chance this sunday. Thoughts?
It’s silly. After all this team has been through, the heart they’ve shown and the quarterback/coach they have, I’m not sure how anyone could write the Pats off. But hey, the pundits have to make their predictions that mean absolutely nothing.
The Broncos have better weapons at wide receiver and tight end. After that I’m not sure where else you give them the clear advantage. The Pats are a balanced team that should be able to play any kind of game.
The Patriots defense, especially in the secondary, have very good pieces to challenge Peyton. As I’ve said all week, this is the best anti-Peyton secondary we’ve had since the 2003 AFCCG. A similar result would not surprise me.
With the Pats the games almost always come down to the end, so I don’t see how or why this one will be any different.
