I can’t stand Peyton Manning- detest the way the media blows him as if he is the elite quarterback he once was. Peyton Manning did not win that game, the unrelenting and talented Denver Defense won that game. Not taking the field goal was a questionable decision down 8, but credit that outstanding Denver Defense that made the plays when they had to. Take the field goal and score like they did and the Patriots win. Forgotten how to win? A missed field goal means the entire team forgot how to win? Stupid, trolling statement.
To me the story isn’t about Peyton Manning leading the Broncos to that win over the Patriots. It was the Denver Defense that spent all day long dominating the line of scrimmage.
Shaughnessy’s quote, “The Patriots have simply forgotten how to win in enemy territory.” WTF does that even mean? They forgot how to win away games? Forgot? Stupid troll job.
Shaughnessy’s the worst.
Good Morning Gloucester 
And the trolls have been released! I agree. The Denver Defensive line won the day. Both sides made mistakes, questionable judgment calls, and as always “interesting” refereeing. But in the end the Denver defense line could not be stopped. I lost count of the number of times Sebastian Vollmer was one step behind his opponent. It was a disappointing ending to a difficult season and preseason.
Go Panthers!!

Shaughnessy is a hack. I stopped reading his stuff after the troll job he did with Brady. Stick to baseball.

And that sneer! Turns me off before I start reading. It says: I’m smarter than you, and a helluva lot smarter than the bozo I am going to write about today.
