i hate to be captain obvious, but the pats shutting down the run game is the number one key in this game.

i see denver being to new england what pittsburgh was last year, meaning despite an embarrassing regular season lost the pats go on the road in the playoffs and show that they really are the better team when it matters most.

Looking at it right now, I think New England might have them. The biggest problems with the Patriots when the Bronocos beat them in Week 6 was the run defense, secondary, offensive line and running game (aside from that we were tits though ). Since then the run defense is vastly improved, we have our top 2 RBs back, the offensive line has had time to gel and the rookies on the line have gotten some seasoning, and the secondary is better (though still not good). Throw in a much better pass rush and that should be enough to close the gap and win the game. I think.

Did you forget the fact that the broncos actual beat the patriots during the season?
the bengals also beat the steelers, my friend.

Despite who wins, it should be one hell of a game. I'd like to see the Broncos pull it off, but I respect New England and their organization so if they win, good for them. I don't even hold a grudge that they beat the Eagles in the big game last year.

i'm just glad that pitt won...now they have a chance to take down indy (fat chance to be sure) before the pats get to them.
and i think the patriots will beat the broncos handily, with a lot of help from adam.

the only AFC West opponent the Pats were able to beat this year was Oakland. Denver, KC and San Diego all killed them. Timing is everything, the following players did not participate in the Pats/Broncos regular season game:
Richard Seymour
Tedy Bruschi
Daniel Graham
Troy Brown
Corey Dillon
Kevin Faulk
the following players started
Heath Evans
Amos Zeroue
Duane Starks
The Pats defense has obviously improved quite a bit since then, but Denver is a much tougher team than anybody the Pats
have beaten on this recent hot streak. Should be interesting....
only reason I would give Denver a chance is that they're at home....but I have a feeling Plummer will have a poor game and the Pats will win it.
