NFL.com news: Expect a tight divisional battle between Broncos, Patriots
When Pat Kirwan posts something Patriots-related, I must link to it. Good stuff…
The one factor in this year’s offense that might trump their recent playoff woes is the play of Patriots tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez, who, along with Wes Welker, have become major weapons. Hernandez was the star in the first game between these teams when he caught 9 passes for 129 yards and a touchdown. Expect Brady to hit his regular-season home average of 318 passing yards.
Last week, the Broncos faced a gimpy quarterback in Ben Roethlisberger, and inside pressure calls were effective. They will not have that luxury this week; it is difficult to blitz Brady on a regular basis, with Welker requiring constant double-teams.

Top Ten Bad Weather Games: #7 The Snow Bowl (by qballcc7)
This isn’t really playoff related but I came across it and had to post it. Haven’t seen so many good shots of the old Foxboro stadium in a long time. It felt like you were in a cement bunker when you tried to down below to the loge seats, and they would flood when it rained. Good memories.

I think, No. 1, he’s just very talented athletically,” said Light. “He gets it and with enormous size. I mean, the guy’s 6-foot-100, I don’t really know. He’s a rather large human being and he can move really well. And he really wants to finish each and every play. He wants to get better. "He’s taken a lot of the coaching from, obviously, [offensive line coach] Dante [Scarnecchia], but also a lot of the guys around him. I think having a guy like Brian playing next to him [when at right tackle], has really done a lot to give him the confidence and the ability to go out there and see things a little bit – maybe easier than it would have been having another guy next to him. Brian’s like an encyclopedia of this league, and what guys do up front. It’s been a great guy to have as a wing man for Nate.

They did some things early on that we weren’t as prepared for as we thought we were,” Patriots offensive lineman Waters said from the podium at Gillette Stadium today. “It took us a minute to just understand exactly what they were trying to do for that day, we caught up to what they were trying to accomplish, and then we went from there. "One of the great things about here are our adjustments to the fact that you never really know what a team is going to do, until you actually get out there. Once we got out there and got a feel for what their gameplan was, I think we caught up to it and eventually end up producing more.
