**Official Pats-Donkeys thread**

[brdempsey69]

With Buffalo and Pittsburgh losing today and the Chiefs winning, the Pats-Donkeys game does create some worthy interest, as this game could loom large when it is all said and done, at season's end.

Go Pats and beat those Denver Dinkeys or Donkeys or whatever one wants to call them scumbags.

[matthewschiefs]

Go pats

[brdempsey69]

Three and out for the Donks on their first series. Good start.

Pats are in scoring range. Need to get at least 3 points out of this series.

[matthewschiefs]

LOL @ denvers great d

[brdempsey69]

LOL @ denvers great d

Good job by the Pats puncturing the Donkeys Defense on that 1st series just like the Chiefs did two weeks ago. Donkeys defense is NOT invincible.

[brdempsey69]

Pats Defense looks like they came to play.

Three and out again for the Donkeys. The Pats paid attention to what the Chiefs did 2 weeks ago.

[brdempsey69]

Donkeys defense got lucky on that 2nd Pats series. Two dropped passes.

[brdempsey69]

SACK !!! That giraffe the Donkeys have at QB isn't their savior who is going to take them to a SB win, like Donkeys fans think.

[brdempsey69]

When the Pats aren't dropping the ball, they are going through this so-called "#1 ranked Donkeys defense", like a hot knife through butter.

[matthewschiefs]

Ok look Talib doing Talib things

[matthewschiefs]

That was a hell of a job coming up with that pick

[brdempsey69]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Pats up 14-0 and kicking a$$. What a dumb play by Talib to get them pinned back and then they turned it over.

[brdempsey69]

Announcer just said Assweiler instead of Osweiler.

Perhaps we are seeing why Manning was brought back, even at age 39, instead of Osweiler being the guy right from the get-go.

[matthewschiefs]

Keep adding on Pats no lead can be to big against Denver IMO

[Eydugstr]

Pats are up by 14??? Hahaha

[Eydugstr]

Gee I'm sure Josh has forgotten all about his donkey time

[Eydugstr]

Dangit they had to score...

[brdempsey69]

Donkeys are holding and getting away with it, according to the Pats announcers. That's the only way Kubiak's Offense can work.

[matthewschiefs]

It's Denver you no it's going to happen

The NBC annoncers talked about it on the td play for them

[brdempsey69]

They got away with it TWICE. Stupid refs had better start calling it.

[matthewschiefs]

Von cheap shot miller

[TopekaRoy]

Von Miller acting like a Bronco again. (Playing dirty.)

[brdempsey69]

Von Miller once again exhibits what a bunch of sore losers the Donkeys are.

[brdempsey69]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Donkeys got called for holding & missed the FG try.

[brdempsey69]

What are the Pats doing, Offensively? The Donkeys aren't playing good defense. The Pats are making some silly play calls.

[brdempsey69]

BAHAHAHAHAHA!! Same thing the Chiefs did two weeks ago -- hit the RB coming out of the backfield and the result is a big-play TD. I told you the Donkeys defense isn't invincible.

[matthewschiefs]

Don't think I've ever seen the team the comes out of a fumble pile with the ball not get the ball.

[brdempsey69]

Don't think I've ever seen the team the comes out of a fumble pile with the ball not get the ball.

Dumb mistake by the Pats return guy. Simply should have called for the fair catch.

[brdempsey69]

Officials are trying to help the Donkeys win.

[Chiefs4life24]

I thought if you leave your feet and hit a QB that's a penalty

[Chiefs4life24]

Gronk leaving on a cart that's their whole receiving core

[ctchiefsfan]

Pats look like they may hold on.

[Chiefs4life24]

Reporter says looking at gronks right ACL

[brdempsey69]

Gronk leaving on a cart that's their whole receiving core

That's bad for them. They are badly crippled.

[ctchiefsfan]

Donks have 2:31 to get 84 yards.

[Chiefs4life24]

That's bad for them. They are badly crippled.

Gronk is all that's left anyways, they have nobody else if he goes down

[ctchiefsfan]

Oh damn!

[ctchiefsfan]

Donks knocking at the door.

[ctchiefsfan]

Pats need a goal-line stand.

[ctchiefsfan]

Damn. Going to need some Brady magic with a little over a minute left.

[ctchiefsfan]

Pats got screwed by the zebras right there.

[matthewschiefs]

This is getting just ridiculous now running clock during a timeout Good lord

[brdempsey69]

Good job by the Pats getting the tie. It never should have come to this. Stupid officials helped keep the Donkeys in the game.

[ctchiefsfan]

Must be some VERY WELL-PAID zebras on that field tonight. Running the clock during a timeout AFTER they told the tower to put time back on the clock. Every zebra on that field should be fired and investigated for accepting bribes.

It sure looks like they accepted bribes, the way they've called this game. I hope the Chiefs get a 3rd crack at the Donkeys in the post-season and kick their a$$es again.

The announcers said it was correct to run the clock when they came back to overtime I thought

[ctchiefsfan]

Pats really need to hold them here.

[ctchiefsfan]

The announcers said it was correct to run the clock when they came back to overtime I thought

Well...of course they said it was right. What do you expect them to do? It was too late to say..."OOOPS" because the Pats had already scored so they had no choice to but play some CYA.

[doobs_05]

God Damn, didn't realise how big Brock lobster was

[doobs_05]

Well...of course they said it was right. What do you expect them to do? It was too late to say..."OOOPS" because the Pats had already scored so they had no choice to but play some CYA.

Uh they said they were told it was correct, so most likely from the refs they always ask replays about or some who knows the rulebook. But go ahead and think the refs dictated the win, Vince McMahon running the NFL

After they explained that that i can shrug off. But momentum changed on that fumbled punt the Pats came out with the ball yet it was given to Denver that Ya i think was home cooking

Missed that one, fallout 4 a little more interesting than Denver or NE

But this was a game between teams that seem to get the calls go their way (according to their rival teams). But I will always be on the side that says you should not blame the refs

[doobs_05]

Mad at the outcome but reading pats fan complain about the refs makes me laugh.

[doobs_05]

Also if you disagree with the play clock runninf


The game clock running is Rule 4-5-4 Note (1) for the curious.

Notes:

(1) No yardage penalty will be assessed for the first excess team timeout, but a 10-second runoff of the game clock may be applicable pursuant to Note 3 below. At the conclusion of an excess timeout taken while time is in, the game clock shall start with the ready-for-play signal. For any excess timeout charged to the defense, the play clock is reset to 40 seconds.

I agree most of the time but then there are times like tonight when even the NBC commentators were having a hard time trying to justify a number of calls late in the game. Could they still have won YEP. But that doesn't mean it's ok for that to happen. The NFL is probably happy. They spent the whole offseason trying to get Brady

Dunno about you, but I didn't see the clock get reset to 40 seconds. Did you? I heard the refs say it but I never saw 31 seconds put back on the clock.

He was talking about the play clock.

This call after seeing the rule i have no issue with and was correct IMO. But there are others I can't say that about

[ctchiefsfan]

If that is the rule then it sounds like a screwed up rule since it does not give the team that wasn't injured back and of the time they lost to because of the real or faked injury. I thought the purpose of the rule was to deincentivize teams from faking an injury when they were out of timeouts.

[Almighty chief]

yeah well that sums up these lucky snake's season. i believe refs should be fined for absurd calls and teams should have the right to challenge and overturn penalties. to big of games being messed up by one stupid ref.

[Pro_Angler]

My observations.. NFL wanted the Donkeys to win, they knew a loss to Pats wouldnt affect their season outcome, but a Donkey loss tightenes it up with us and they dont want us on top..It would screw up the matchups for playoffs for NFL.

And just last week the officiating benefited the pats over the bills. The refs this year have been bad (clock management, Ravens v Jags game, Seattle v detroit). So I guess there are times a call ruined a game but just like MMA don't leave it in the judges hands.
