Patriots/Colts
 

Is this a matter of the Patriots getting better again or have the COLTS lost their window of opportunity?

Sure does seem that this game is close to a blowout if this trend continues....What trend you say?

Answer: Pats passing game has too many guys playing like "All Pro" type receivers that can making a secondary look old awfully fast.

aren't the colts missing 3 def starters today?

Injuries certainly color achievement but all teams have them. The Pats have mixed in some youth on defense that seems to be changing their core....

The results of this game aside, The colts have yet to groom a tailback or a receiver opposite Wayne that can consistently make plays. Offensively, they can be stopped for periods of time where as in the middle of the decade, it took superhuman defensive efforts to slow them down.

Interestingly, the colts have a defense that no longer relies on Bob Sanders. You take away a couple of big plays to Moss and the Indy defense didnt play poorly.

What defines not playing poorly...

3rd quarter stats...

NE

Rushing Yards 105

Passing yards 315

Colts

Rushing Yards 40

Passing Yards 208

Not counting the long punt return of 70 yards......of yeah a 3rd TD by Moss.

I don't know man the Patriots seemed to have bitch slapped the Colts tonight. There's still a quarter to play but 31 points in 3 quarters with a TD thrown away by the fumble 5 minutes ago seems to demonstrate total control.....I would have to ask what would you like to see to demonstrate domination??

I wrote that at half time. I take it back. New England is killing them.

Actually the quick TD by Indy made it a game again....

Manning is too good to fold this one quite yet. He's feeling it after the last score hopefully he doesn't have enough time.


WTF.......Is Duck hunting season in Indy early this year. I have never seen Manning throw balls like this. What a strange game?

I don't think we're watching two Super Bowl contenders. I'd take the Steelers even though they lost today.

I keep waiting for the ravens to get on a roll.

What a strange game? Dominant to dummies in minutes....

Crinkle Crinkle trash can..........thump!!

wow...belichick will certainly get it for that end game.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahaha. Etc.

Guessing signals isn't as fun. :rolleyes:

Belichick was a genius tonight!

That was a pretty bad call on the spot, but the Patriots blew it by wasting their time outs and not being able to challenge. Also, if that is the best play you have on 4th and 2, you should probably punt.

That must have been an intentional strategic loss on Belichick's part. Maybe trying to set them up for later. Or, that was just stupidity.:rolleyes:

maybe he knows his defense stinks

This went through my mind as well but the way BB looked at the press conference was like he just got caught with his pants on his ankles......WEEI in Boston will be classic today.

Bills, Jets, Dolphins.

The Patriots are still going to the playoffs.
