Gee, ask a bunch of WRs what the team should've done, and they all say they should've gone deep more? Wow, what a shock!

Actually, what I bet we'll see a lot of is the 8-12 yard out pass to Gaffney and Reche. Indy played a lot of Cover 3 shell against the Chiefs, and they'll probably have to repeat that against the Pats to get Sanders in the box. The Cover 3 leaves a lot of room on the sidelines for short routes. Brady and the WRs love that throw, and they have the patience to run that all day, so ... do that for a while and something's got to give. The Colts will either have to switch to a Cover 1 and totally sell out, or they'll have to pull Sanders out of the box and go to the traditional Tampa 2. If the first, go deep. If the second, pound Dilloney at them.

I agree with the idea they should spread it out and throw it downfield. Even if you dont connect much ( although I think Brady will at the Dome) you have opened up some room for Dillon and Maroney. Set up the run with the pass, ala 49ers.

This is the game that ensures McDaniels the head coaching job for the Raiders.

Honestly, I think we can do anything. As long as we execute, the run, short pass, medium pass and long pass should be there. The Colts' defense sucks and can't overplay any phase against us.

Why would you wish something so bad on Josh? Do you dislike him that much?

Yeah, the first drive for the Patriots just made my heart drop when we threw an interception. All the excitement caused Brady to get overexcited it seems and he went deep. If we were just more patient we could have won that game. I dont remember how much time was remaining in the game when Adam missed the field goal but I remember Brady throwing one very fast downfield for a first down but we werent taking our time and the very next moment the game was over after a tipped interception. But again I do not know how much time we had left. We cannot get too excited and just being far too aggressive way early unless there is reason to do so. If we can throw some short passes for first down and if the running game somehow works out getting first downs, drive down and score without feeling the need for a huge play.

Two words... play action.

No, the Colts defense is great, haven't you been listening to ESPN?

I gave that up after the Patriots beat the all time greatest NFL team, the 2006 Chargers

I'm Trusting in Bill. He and his excellent coaches have seen what the
Colts have done. They will be prepared.

In his Friday PC he said
" .. it was a tough week of preparation, but nevertheless I think we got to the point we need to be at, .. "

That was very encouraging news. His demeanor also looked .. confident.
They're ready for the Colts.

Of course anything can happen ... mistakes happen .. refs make game
changing calls .... but
PATs will be very competitive for 60 minutes and
I believe without a doubt that the Colts will have to play one heck of a
game or be very lucky to win.
