Devin!
Great, fun game. Lots of calls, mostly good, and Pats D makes the play they had to have! 6-3! Bring on the Colts!
First Half:
Back from the bye. We’re down Aaron today, his ankle’s still not ready. Bolden’s gone for four weeks for using some undisclosed PED. Which likely means he had a cough drop in his mouth when he was called for his urine test. But, that means we should see more Vereen. Chung is also still out.
We have Ian Eagle and Dan Fouts in the booth today. Nice observation by Fouts, the Pats went 5-3 over the first half last year and ended up in the Super Bowl. Bill Levy is the ref.

Glad we got points, but we dodged two bullets there.

1st and 20: Fitz throws incomplete, I think it should have been grounding.

1st and 10: Fitz to Jones, 22
End of the first. ICK! Our cheerleaders are wearing like brown WW2 USO outfits. Nice gesture but cheerleaders should not wear ugly clothes. Just saying.

I’ve realized that Dan Fouts would be a better commentator if he didn’t talk. Think he’d try that?
Bills D4: Start at the 20.
1st and 10: Fitz to Spiller on a screen, 2
2nd and 8: Spiller for 12 on a sweet delay draw. Nicely designed play.

Pats D4: Start at the 18. Devin’s returning, but not aggressively enough.
1st and 10: Brady to 47. Overthrow.
2nd and 10: Brady to Ridley, incomplete.
3rd and 10: Brady to Edelman, incomplete. PI on Byrd on Gronk. It should have been a 5 yard illegal contact, not a 17 yard PI. First down in either case. No, Fouts, it was not the first penalty on the Bills D, it was the third. All PIs. Pay attention.
1st and 10: Ridley for 1
2nd and 9: Brady to Vereen for 11 plus a 15 yard facemask on Gilmour
1st and 10: Brady to Lloyd in the endzone. PI on Gilmour for pushing Lloyd down. No, Fouts, it was the third time, not the second, PI in the endzone was called on the Bills.

Pats D5: Start at the 20. :31 in the half. I’d kneel.
1st and 10: Brady to Lloyd, dropped
2nd and 10: Brady to Woodhead, 6.
Halftime.
Ian and Dan think the energy is gone since there was no noise over those last two plays. No, idiots, there were 30 seconds till halftime. People were heading to get food, use the bathroom, etc. Seriously think before you talk.
Stats which may interest only me: Career Playoff Record: P. Manning 9-11, T. Tebow 1-1; Career Overtime Playoff Record: P.Manning 0-3, T. Tebow 1-0; Career Bronco Playoff Record: P. Manning 0-1; T. Tebow 1-1.
