Whoops. Couldn't do poop against Denver. Ouch.


Well, now..... in the finest of traditions, let me say that your statement
is a bit overblown. " Couldn't do poop" is a bit much. Without taking
anything away from the Broncos, I would point out that absent 5 turnovers
and a *very* questionable call, the postgame numbers, objectively analysed,
would have one thinking that NE ought to have won the game. I emphasize
that I give all due credit to Denver, because turnovers of that nature are
part of the game - difficult to force by the defense, and relatively easy to
prevent by the offense - in short, NE has no excuse. Even without the
erroneous interference call, they still likely would have lost the game.
They gave the game away through their own errors.

Next year they'll be back, and 4 SBs in 6 years still qualifies as a dynasty
:-)
