AFC Chanpionship Game

[Romer]

Last time we were in the Championship Game it was also against New England. It was Manning vs Brady and it was an awesome game. We won.

Watching the Texans vs Patriots today, it seemed both quarterbacks made lots of mistakes. It was the better Defense that won.

It would have been great to see Nix vs Maye, unfortunately he got hurt. They don't know anything about Stidham. Not much for the defense to plan for. My recollection is he is more conservative than Bo which might be enough to win

Some shots of the last AFC Championship Game to get the juices flowing

he’s got some wheels and can throw pretty good..

he isn’t bo and probably not a starter for much other than 3 or 4 other teams

but he’s not bad

here’s some inspiration for hopefully a good outcome

Sucks about Nix. But this is the best the Broncos have done in a decade! We will be there in full force cheering them on against the HATED Patriots. Figure we should finish the tailgating season right and go out in style, win or lose. So will be smoking 25 pounds of tenderloin for our famous cheesesteaks. Always a favorite among our crew. Been one heck of a fun year! Let's go Broncos!!!!

Ticket prices are amazingly high given Nix's departure. $900 a piece for 500 level...

 

[Romer]

wow, that is a lot of seats for sale

The ones next to me in section 120 are 3 times face value. A few rows down are 5 times

asking price and them selling for that are two different things

The group behind us sold theirs' for $1250 each. Lower level, north end zone. They offered them to us, but we weren't willing to pay those prices just to keep Pats fans at bay.

I was able to grab solid seats in section 102 first row for a reasonable price.

Actually they were way under priced…good for me!!

Not sure what I’ll do with my actual seats

 

[Romer]

I was tempetd with the prices, but I have to go.

I’m saving my money for the Super Bowl. We share our seats with 2 other guys and one of the others is going this time.. I got to see the Bills so I’m good.

I'll be the first to say it, GO PATS! haha. Would have preferred to go up against Nix, but im sure itll still be a good game as the Pats always seem to struggle in Denver.
Last time the afc game took place between these two, it was 10x better of a game than the superbowl. So im looking forward to it!

Bought some heated gloves. Even my nice gloves can get cold in the fingers after an hour in below 20 deg weather,especially when just sitting. Ski Pants, layers, wool socks, heavy insulated boots and a Balaclava if I need it.

Probably overdoing it, but would rather be over prepared vs freezing in the 4th qtr

Be careful with feet and hands as frostbite is very dangerous

I am ready!

 

[shellb]

Will be in lot M again. Look for my 200!

We have lots of breakfast burritos and a fire!

Smart! Great advice. Many layers with a water proof outer layer will be a must. I forget that most people don't work/spend most of their time out in the elements and just know this.

Our lot opens at 8:30am. Temps will be about 6*. Besides the heated party rig, we will have a 10x20 pop up complete with sides, 2 large propane heaters, and a fire pit. We are leaving the outdoor TV's at home so only will have the small one in the party rig, but it's just basketball anyway.

Kickoff is @ 1pm and the temps should be about 18*. But the flurries are supposed to start flying by 2pm and will be off/on till after the game lets out.

mmm breakfast burritos

Hope everyone stays warm. And LET'S GO BRONCOS!!!!!

Next year will have to catch up to your tail gate party. Tomorrow we are watching our Grand kids so will leave when we need to get to the game

Other than the weather, coach deciding not to kick an easy field goal and the way the offence played, it was fun

Bo Nix doesn't have to worry about his job. I bet they would have won with him.

Still, it was a good season to make the Championship game.

 

[shellb]

Agree on all those points!

We should have won that game…

 

[Brucker]

What a great season! Bummer it had to end this way. Payton needs to give up play calling or at least get bubble screens wiped from his memory. And his judgement this game was off. Never skip the opportunity for points in the playoff's.

Been a long and expensive 10 years watching this team suck. But it's been really awesome to be able to attend playoff games again, especially the AFC Championship here in Denver. This season was truly fun again. Looking forward to watching their growth next year when they actually have money to spend on players again.

Our tailgate looked more like a wedding than a tailgate. But the tents kept the heat in and everyone warm.



And the smoked tenderloin cheesesteaks were .



And the snow was coming down in the second half made the perfect environment for playoff football!



For those that missed it, here is the National Anthem complete with flyover from today's game.

Agreed, with a healthy Nix, the Broncos would have won handily. Expecting a backup quarterback, even one as worthy as Jarrett Stidham, to come into a conference championship not having thrown an NFL pass in two years was a bridge too far.

 

[nakman]

I dunno, I was all for going for it on 4th down... our defense was holding them and they held them again on the next possession, so it was almost a wash. In hindsight, it would have been nice to be tied when the snow storm hit, but at the time the move felt right to me. I also though Stidham played as well as Bo Nix would have played... other than Bo might have srambled a little better in the 2nd half. His pass to Mimms in the 1st quarter was perfect.
