The Game

Timmy's first weather game, first playoff game. Exciting!

Pats have lost 3 playoff games in a row.

It will be fucking cold but dry. Very windy, if you believe the weather reporters. That means, likely, no long field goals, some kickoff returns, short routes on passes.

Gronk and Aaron have possibly been the best TE tandem in football history this year, and the coaching staff will probably use them a lot. I don't know how well Denver rushes the passer aside from the rook, but protection for Tom is always key. I don't think the weather will change the play calling for NE much, but Tim can't make those long throws the Broncos like. I don't think, anyway. NE wind is a bitch. The punters have to figure a way to cut the wind and go for 40 yarders, not 50.

This game is a test for Tim. Not a midterm or final, but an entrance exam. If he passes by playing well, he'll go on to a career that will likely get him some Super Bowl rings and maybe a place in Canton. Pull a Flacco and he'll have a nice career, win some playoff games, and play in the Pro Bowl a lot.
