NFL Playoffs - Conference Championship: (2) Patriots at (1) Broncos

[Dback Jon]

Do you try to kick or do you go for it?

FG for Denver is no good

It was tipped

 

[Dback Jon]

This is where they should’ve gone for it instead of in the first half

 

[Russ Smith]

tipped

 

[Dback Jon]

So New England hasn’t done anything offensively.

They were gifted six points due to Stidham panicking

patriots: we don't even want the ball here take it please

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

patriots: that's why we didn't want the ball

 

[GatorAZ]

I’m glad a long suffering franchise like the Patriots are back in the SB.

 

[Dback Jon]

As much as I’m sick of the Patriots in the Super Bowl, it gives me a lot of joy to see Peyton go home because of his arrogance in the first half

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Patriots going to the Super bowl, again

I’m glad a long suffering franchise like the Patriots are back in the SB.

Good sarcasm doesn’t need an emoji.

Didn't want a backup QB in the SB

 

[Metcalf Rules]

Well, Vance Joseph is available.

Another lesson on why you take the points early in the game

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Congrats Pats.

 

[HerefortheCards]

I said in the 1st quarter that Denver passing on the field goal would be huge. I had no idea I’d be so correct.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Well, Vance Joseph is available.

He can be in AZ in time for a dinner meeting.

It's a new thing. Years ago I can't remember any of the coaches not taking the points.

 

[Zalixar]

This game could have been an email

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Game was lost when SP decided not to take the points. I can't understand why all of these coaches have to be cute now and go for it so often on 4th down. In a close game especially at home, take points whenever you can get them. That and some really inopportune drops by Denver's WR's and it was over. SMH. Such a winnable game, too.

Payton is a dip****. I say that as a long time Broncos fan.

Yeah, my brother & I were both yelling “Take the points!” when they went for it. Seriously, with a backup QB, you have to be smarter there.

Alex Kemp explains officiating error on Jarrett Stidham fumble

The first half of Sunday's AFC Championship included an officiating error that robbed the Patriots of a defensive touchdown.

The first half of Sunday’s AFC Championship included an officiating error that robbed the Patriots of a defensive touchdown. And while they still ended up with possession (and scoring on a 12-yard drive), the officials mistakenly ruled a backward pass to be an incomplete forward pass.
