It's that time again... - New England Patriots Forums

Lookie here it's Colts/Pats week again. It doesn't seem quite the same as it used to, but it still is a game that everyone looks forward to.

As of today, I don't think things look real promising for the Colts. I'm not sure what the status of our injuries is right now, but if several of our guys don't suit up this week it looks like it will be a long game. The players we had on the field against the Bengals barely resembled our opening day roster. And after watching the way you guys beat the Steelers, I'm not going to be overly optimistic.

Anyway, here to a good game (especially for us) and an injury free game (especially for us). Long time no see.

Welcome back. I completely missed the game AND highlights from the game, but the bit of commentary I've seen makes it sound like the Bengals never really posed a threat.

I hope the Pats D softening up in the fourth was intentional. No way we can play the Colts the same way. Seyton Manning scares me right to the final whistle.

The game ball goes to Carson Palmer. He threw 3 picks and 2 of them went right to a defender with a receiver nowhere around him. The Colts D played fairly well, but the offense finally showed that you can only suit up so many guys off the street and move the ball.

Right now we have 2 healthy guys that can catch the ball, Reggie and Pierre Garcon and Garcon can't catch a cold right now. Our TE situation is getting worse. Clark's replacement is Jacob Tamme, he has done fairly well all things considered, but he has a back injury now and was have a hard time walking after the game. Even our receivers signed from the practice squad are hurt. We are literally have guys on the field that weren't Colts two weeks ago.

Our running game is a mess. The only effective guys running the ball this year have been Addai and Mike Hart and nobody know when they will be healthy. Donald Brown has been rather uninspiring and we have to practice squad players picking up carries behind him. The run blocking by the line is the worst I've seen since Peyton has been here.

Thanks. I just wish we weren't so damned banged up right now so I could tell ya'll we're going to kick your arses this week. We can win, but we have to get healthy and/or play a great game. You guys have to be feeling pretty good after last night.

Probably a little TOO good, which makes me nervous.

I dont know. BB will keep them in check this week, pointing out the little things like in the 4th quarter. I think the Cleveland game was definitely a wake up call for the team and the team definitely turned the outcome of last week into a positive

Injuries happen, eh?

C'mon Horse! The fanbase that watched a secondary of HanK Poteat, Earthwind Moreland, Troy Brown(!) and Randall Gay hold your (then) recording breaking 49 TD QB to 3 points in the 2004 AFC Plaayoffs says "Stop whining about injuries!!!!"

(Not to mention the team that lost its franchise QB in the first game of 2008, proceeded to somehow go 11-5 and MISS the playoffs).

Whining about injuries doesn't get much mileage here (plus, I don't turn my back on a Peyton Manning run offense EVER - - he can still figure out a way).

Should be a great game!
