OT: Colts look good - Page 2 - New England Patriots Forums

I would offer that the Colt's performance last night was more a reflection of their opponent's performance than anything special Peyton and the boys did.

They don't scare me anymore.

The Cards haven't won 10 games in a season since the 70's and unless they get some run going they will do well to be 500 this season because their defence is terrible.

Not sure why they did that either. Put Beanie Wells in. I know he's had his fumble issues the past couple of games but if you can't trust him to run it in with less than a yard to go then what was the point of drafting him?

The poster probably should have included "commit to the run game and play defense". Miami's defense, specifically it's secondary, is awful.

You can do it too unless you actually play for BB and Co., which I highly doubt.

its mostly in jest.

Defensive breakdowns by Arizona had a lot to do with Indy winning. Did you see the 73 yard pass to Donald Brown? I like Brown a lot, but he caught that dump off pass, and sprinted straight ahead for 70 yards. No defender anywhere near him.

Also, there was a very questionable referee call at the end of the first half. They didn't go to replay on what might have been a Arizona TD. The game would have been tied with Arizona's first 3rd qtr TD if they had counted the one at the end of the first half. That changed the complexion of the game.

You don't have to. You think I got to 6,000+ posts by being constructive in every single thread? No sir!

Colts always look good early. At home they're in a dome, on the road the weather is usually good. They slow down as the year goes on, and with the exception of that run in 2006 they're never as threatening late as they are in September.

Give Indy credit, they don't always win pretty but since midseason last year they've always seemed to find a way to win. Even though the game got out of hand last night, Arizona should have been up 10-0 before Hightower fumbled inside the 5. They just always find a way, except in the playoffs
