FWIW
was discussing the pats/colts game. Thinks both offense's are evenly matched but the pats D can be had. He thinks BB put tom brady in yesterday to protect his defense.in his words - the names on the jerseys of the pats LB are great but they are aging and the colts will be able to run the football and control the clock and keep the ball away from brady and complete a few passes to clark and co to win the game

Well, the Colts did light up that NE defense last season to the tune of 38 pts and 455 yards.

The Colts are balanced on offense. They can run the ball and are committed to doing so.

The Phins put up 400 yds of offense on the D last week.

Brady didn't come back in because the defense was stuggling but came back in because Cassell thought his receivers to throw to were wearing Dolphins uniforms

Matt's throw brought back memories of Hugh Millen trying to hit receivers of the opposite color jersey

This whole thing about the Patriots not being able to run the ball is crap. The Pats #1 RB has been out for half the year the they still have the #7 rushing offense.

Yeah, an injury/flu riddled team missing key starters.

Keep ignoring the facts.

i think our running game is fine. We are just not running it from the get go which makes people think we dont run much. But our run D can improve.

hoosierguy

Keep making excuses.

Of course the Colts were missing a starting safety and WR.

PF1996

I'm sorry...so the Pats team that you came back against and BARELY BEAT WASN'T missing key starters???

The Pats put up 27 with a crappy receiving corp, and no RBs against your shoddy defense, so 54 this year isn't out of reach.

Unlike the Colts, the Pats can stop the run. We are still porous in the middle but hopefully that's the result of missing Seymour and hopefully he will be back for the game.


However, the fact remains, that it's idotic to claim that the Pats D can be had more than Indy's D. We played without a key starter in the secondary (yeah, I know he's looking like crap since he's been back) for 4 games and without one of the top DLs in the game for 7 games and still are doing well defensively.

PF1996

Huh? What starting safety and WR?

(Not that it matters if you were missing a safety, they are all crap, except Sanders and he was in the game). So were Wayne and Harrison who are your top receivers...
