3. OU has played a lot of tough games this year.
I have every confidence in them next week. Jason White is red-hot.

That Tom Brady really is something!

On edit: I live in Oklahoma City and went to OU. This has been a REALLY FUN year with my Sooners and Pats.

6. New England won it's over
But I think Denver could've won if their two pro bowl linebackers were in the game as well as Elam(which affected the playcalling, two times they punted instead of going for field goals), their second best wide reciever, and their starting QB. But the Broncs have a bye week and Plummer and McAffery will be returning to the lineup. Unfortanately their two pro bowl linebackers are gone for the season. :cry: But there are still 7 games left in the season and the Broncos are 5-4.

9. Yeah, the Broncos were really banged up......
Of course no team can compare to the Pats injury situation this year. I think they were down 8 starters one week on defense. Anyway, it was a good game.

The AFC is crazy so who knows what will happen.

11. No team can compare?
Edited on Sun Nov-09-03 01:11 AM by VermontDem2004
We had 7 starters and backup starters injured for most of that game and had 6 starters and backup starters gone for the last 3 games, the Broncos has a total of 16 injuries for the Baltimore game. I can name the ones who didn't play in the New England game for the Broncos, Ian Gold, John Mobley, Jake Plummer, Steve Buerlien, Ed McAffery, Jason Elam, and Ephraim Salaam. 6 out of the 7 were starterss.

8. Below are some comments I saw on a Texas A & M board...funny
In light of our loss to OU, I know that there will be a great deal of potbanging, handwringing and negativity. We are all disappointed by the lopsided loss, but we must stay positive. Following are the positive things that I will take from the game and focus on during the next week as we prepare for Missouri.

-We had a relatively balanced offensive attack,
52 yards total, 32 yds passing, 20 rushing.
-Pegram was perfect, no missed FG's or PAT's.
-We were able to hide the fact that Pegram lost
his kicking tee.
-We had no fumbled punts.
-Jacob Young qualified to be listed for NCAA
season punting statistics in only one game.
-Team lost no game balls. We returned home with
same number of footballs as we took.
-No players lost the decals on their helmets.
-Coach Fran was able to leave the game a little
early to visit with friends from Kansas.
-Yell Leaders left game much more comfortable
than usual as no "squeezing" was required.
-Found out that Stoops has mercy since he could
have easily reached 100 points.
-We help keep White's Heisman hopes alive.
-We are finally getting regular mention on ESPN
Sports Center.

These are the initial positive thoughts that come to mind. I am sure that some of you have more. Please share any that you might have as we all need to "come together" during this time of grief.
