NFL Conference Championship Rewind

Just one more of these. I’m officially in that mid winter depression mode.

Patriots 18, Broncos 20

Game time, but not before Deion barks at some cheerleaders. Chill out dude.

Alright now let’s go.  Honestly this game has been dissected a million different ways, Gostowski’s missed XP, going for it on 4th down, the Broncos Defense, but the one key point to me was Peyton playing well in the first quarter and letting the Broncos play on their terms the entire afternoon. 2 Owen Daniels Touchdowns coming in the first 16 minutes of the game and Peyton didn’t have to make any plays after that (he basically didn’t).

The second Owen Daniels touchdown coming after a very uncharacteristic Tom Brady throw, right into the hands of Von Miller who was the game’s clear MVP.

2.5 sacks. An interception and pressure on pressure on pressure. The Broncos hit Brady a million times yesterday and dictated the game up front.

Won’t do the  “I told you so’s” here, I’ll save it for the rundown, but I basically said on Thursday I thought the Broncos could get at Tom Brady and win the game with Defense and then was laughed at by Dave, because of course.

What’s worse, the tweet or the fact that 15,000 people retweeted it and said the Denver PD murdered the Patriots? I hate the internet sometimes.

It wouldn’t be a game without a controversy. And this time we had TABLETGATE!

Oh whoops, nevermind, Controversy avoided.

WHEELS

Like when black people see a Magic trick, which it basically was.

Tony Romo loves that shit.

Always be ready.

Second half basically went like this. Peyton comes in the game, runs backwards and falls down.

Von Miller does something good.

The Patriots go for it on 4th down and don’t get it. Sidenote – I thought this play call SUCKED. If you’re going to pass on 4th spread it out and give Gronk and Edelman a chance. This was way too cute.

Also I’m pretty sure DeMarcus Ware figured out the snap count in the first quarter and the Patriots never adjusted. Look at this, he’s already moving and the ball is just barely being snapped.

Back to Peyton sitting on the sidelines doing nothing (The Broncos had the ball for 10 seconds in the 4th quarter, don’t quote me on that but it’s basically true).

Back to another 4th down that the Patriots didn’t convert

Back to more Peyton sitting and doing nothing (he handed it off twice and laid down once in between the 4th downs)

Quick cut to Gronk getting oxygen.

Back to another Patriots 4th down, they actually got this one with an unbelievable throw and catch from Brady to Gronk.

And ANOTHER 4th down. Brady to Gronk again.

Back to Peyton, still sitting, doing nothing.

And the 2 point conversion.

Live reaction from the Portnoy household.

Belichick vs the media of any kind is my favorite Belichick

Von Miller deserves to dance like a clown.

“Can you believe they think my wife did HGH?”

I just wish someone could have warned Dave…..

Best part is I didn’t even have to dig for that video, he posted it Sunday morning because he was so cocky.

A+ Podium jacket.

Pat Bowlen’s wife, au natural.

And one final image. If Peyton didn’t let out a little fart in his son’s face then he’s a bad father, straight up.

Cardinals 15, Panthers 49

Cam Newton with Future (don’t know which one is Future). A Casual racist’s Nightmare.

Folks, we’ve got ourselves a good old fashioned BOAT RACE.

Good news is Bruce Arians said it wasn’t Carson Palmer’s fault. Ooof

I will say that the Cardinals O-Line was atrocious and the snowball that is Cam Newton got rolling and couldn’t be stopped. But still, some of these throws. Yikes.

GOAT having a blast.

Seriously, SLAUGHTER

Being at a home playoff game that turns into a rout must be the greatest experience of all time. So great you just say fuck it and jump on to the field.

You know what. I love how much fun the Panthers have. They’re like the Warriors. They are awesome and they laugh about how awesome they are. If you can back this shit up you deserve to have a blast.

Meanwhile the party in Arizona is winding down.

Very happy for Peanut.

Carolina Owner Jerry Richardson went absolutely NUTS in the post game. Chill out man, you haven’t won anything yet.

And finally we leave you with the man. Rawrrr Rawrrr Rawrrr indeed.
