Go Broncos!

The Broncos pulled out the big win on Saturday against the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. I was lucky enough to go to the game (thanks Joe), and it was a blast. I must add that the crowd did a great job of being loud and helped to cause 4 false starts and a couple of timeouts with the noise.

Most of the sports commentators and writers (the same ones who picked the Pats to win) are saying the Pats lost the game due to their turnovers. From what I saw, the pressure and intensity of the Broncos defense and special teams won the game. The Broncos forced the turnovers - the Pats didn't just give the ball away. As Patriots defensive end Richard Seymour (the best player on their defense) said, "Denver caused a lot of those mistakes. I don't care what anybody says -- you have to give them credit." They also managed to hold the Pats to 13 points due to the heavy pressure they put on Brady.

Now, thanks to the Steelers, the Broncos get another playoff game at home. Let's hope that the offense can do more against the Steelers than they did against the Pats. They capitalized off the New England turnovers, scoring 24 of their 27 points off of turnovers. The offense will need to generate its own points to win the game.

I can't remember the playoffs having this many good coaches in a long time. If you look at the head coaches in the round of eight, there were a total of 13 Super Bowl appearances with 9 wins. All four of the coaches remaining have taken teams to the Super Bowl in the past.

I also want to note that Roosevelt Colvin is a tool. He did this stupid kicking motion when the Pats defense stopped the Broncos on third down that looked like an eighty year old woman imitating the Rockettes. I especially liked it when he did it right before the Broncos kicked a field goal to take a 10-3 lead. Yes, we know the Broncos are going to kick, you don't need to show us, jackass. Also, at the end of the game when the Broncos had sealed the win, he had to be the a-hole who starts something when the other team kneels to run out the clock. Why is there always a player on a losing team that has to start something when the game is almost over and they know the game is lost?
