Should be a good game and should be close. I think the Broncos have their hands full and may well lose. All year doubters (like me) have been waiting for Plummer to have the bad game. He hasn't collapsed yet. But what better time than against a good experienced well-coached team in the playoffs? We'll see. And the fact the Patriots lost once to them this year bothers me. Different team now, but seems like its still hard to beat a good team twice in the same year for whatever reason.

Yes, I think people are vastly underestimating the Jake Plummer factor.
Does this remind anybody of 2001 when Kordell Stewart was an MVP candidate during the regular season? How can anybody NOT envision Plummer's season ending the same way? I know the Pats aren't as good as the last 2 years, but they're still better than the luckbox team that won it in 2001, especially Brady.

I don't know. Plummer seems to be making better decisions this year consistantly, and is a much better QB than he ever has been before. Stewaret was a mismaatch- average teams couldn't deal with him, but he was still young and once his bad game started he fell apart. Plummer is actually a veteren at this point, as much as i have enjoyed his rollout fumbles returend for TD's to get the over in the past, i don't think that i would bet on it happening in this game.
