Denver Broncos @ New England Patriots - 2nd Quarter Open Thread

I hope to do the same with this. I know I am overreacting, but we have seriously not been this sloppy so far this year, and I had hoped we had improved at least in part from last year.

Predictions before the season began: 11-5 and a top five offense (I was probably too conservative).
