Belichick is not > than Shanahan, Belichick is greater than than the massive #'s of crippling injuries the Broncos have had.
Wer'e on the 3rd string quarterback:
1st string Jake Plummer: Broken Foot
2nd string Stebe Burlein: Broken Finger
3rd string Danny Kannell was playing with a sprained finger
We're down to only one starting linebacker, and then our 3rd and 4th string guys are in
1st string Ian Gold: Torn ACL
1st string Al Wilson: Spinal cord contusion
2nd string guy (don't know his name or injury, maybe Donny Spragan?) out
Lost one of our 1st string WR (Ed Mcaffrey) due to quadricep injury
Jason Elam, starting kicker, went out with a sprained groin.
I'd like to see the patsies play with Rohan Davey (3rd string QB) starting and see how they do.
All in all, though, it was a good game. The safety thing was an excellent call. Elam's groin kept us from kicking a couple possible field goals, which might have very well tied us. The Patriot's played a good, clean game. I'd just like to see how they'd stack up to a healthy Denver team.
