Well, that sucked.
As badly as they played in the first half - and let's give the Broncos some credit for that - they made a game of it and nearly sent the game into overtime. They overcame their share of adversity this year (and then some) and still made it to the conference championship Game. In the end, the patchwork offensive line just wasn't able to hold up and they fell one play short.
To paraphrase Cole Younger in "The Long Riders," they played a rough game. They lost. No Super Bowl this year. No awkward moment on the championship stage with Roger Goodell. I'll miss that, despite the fact it can't happen.
Still, that touchdown pass in the final seconds from Brady to Gronk was a moment. They never gave up. They're still my boys.
Shall I say it?
We're on to 2016.

Getting Psyched
Five hours till kickoff and I'm a mess. Hold on while I go get the
81mg aspirin. Just in case.
It is too early to start drinking, isn't it?

Happy Birthday, Deflategate

A Good Sunday in January
The sun is out. The driveway is plowed. I do need to clean out the
clogged filter in our washing machine but not even that can harsh my buzz
today. The Patriots are heading to the AFC Championship Game.

Waiting for the Sun
Already in my game-day gear, watching the snow, wondering if my
pigskin heroes can do it one more time despite the injuries, as they've done so
many times before.
