Wow.

Be prepared to duck.

I could have written that myself, I agree with it so much. All the BB is great at drafting and player development. Really? Really? Are you sure? Doesn't look like it from here.

Colts OL is 4th rounders and below!

Their defense I knew is a bunch of low round guys. That's just amazing what it says about their organization.

Please can we get one of their guys to be our OC?

Maybe BB can learn something from their D?

After watching the Colts advance to their second Super Bowl in four seasons yesterday with an impressive 30-17 victory over Vociferous Rex and the Jets, the question for the Patriots is plain to see: How do they go about catching up with the Colts?
How does a team who's won 3 Superbowls in 4 years "catch up" to a team who's going to their second in four seasons.

He's really not worth the click. imho of course.

Sorry, that doesn't work any more. Since we last won the SB the Steelers have won 2 and the Colts are positioned to possibly win their 2nd. We're behind. Get real, and get used to it.

That is bull, IMO.

They wasted a 1st round pick on a 2nd string RB in one of the worst ground games in the NFL.

When you have Clark and Wayne, along with Peyton Manning throwing you the ball, Garcon and Collie will make plays.

The Pats drafted a good WR in Julian Edelman, who I think is better and has way more potential then Collie. Garcon seems to be like David Givens, a good, reliable option but not a superstar.

Sebastian Vollmer, Julian Edelman, Darius Butler, Patrick Chung, Pryor> Brown, Collie, Garcon, Powers.

It's all about Manning, without him that team is 4-12 and Garcon and Collie are practice squad players.

Manning is top notch and makes that team much better than it really is.

BB has not drafted well, that's obvious.

Good article. I know a lot of people are going to hate it because it's not what they want to hear and will bash Gasper.

Some key points to take into consideration:

Quote:
That's a game the Patriots have lost to the Colts the last few years and it is the primary reason they watched yesterday's AFC Championship game from their living rooms while confetti rained down upon the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium.
I don't think the Pats seem to care. I used to think Brady was the best competitor in football like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant are to basketball. I just don't see that in Brady anymore.
Quote:
The Colts have signed a total of five veteran free agents since 2004.
That is an amazing stat! Indy is a small market and can't attract big name free agents and have to rely on solid drafting. As much as Polin is a prick, he's done one heck of a job drafting every year.
Quote:
Somewhere along the way the Patriots' lost their way and became too reliant on veteran help. Plugging holes with veterans will work for a while, but it's like putting buckets on the floor for a leaky ceiling -- it's a quick solution for a deeper problem.
This has been their problem for the last 5 years. They trade out of rounds for no reason but sign over the hill LB', DB's, WR's, you name it.

You don't see his math's off? Three SB's in four years vs two SB's in four years ( technically only two appearances, the Colts haven't won it yet). So you tell me, who's catching up to who exactly.
