Official Pats/Colts Discussion

[VJCPatriot]

I hadn't seen anyone post this yet so here it is.

Man I am really pumped for this game!
I think the Pats are going to kick the Colts butts all over the field!
Woo, this game can't come fast enough.

Brady vs Manning, Good vs Evil, whatever.
I think the hype is starting to get to me!

Key matchups today imo:

1 - Freeney vs Light
2 - AD vs Clark/Utecht
3 - Moss vs Colts Secondary

Both Addai and Maroney will get theirs but I think the passing game will be key for both teams.

[Patriot_in_NY]

Excited? Ummmmm, just a bit :rocker:

[SoCal Bong]

Anyone know if the Pats are wearing blue or white today? I'm leaving for the sports bar in a few minutes and would like to match up.

[Seymour93]

Anyone know if the Pats are wearing blue or white today? I'm leaving for the sports bar in a few minutes and would like to match up.

The Pats only wear blue when the home team chooses white. The few teams who regualarly wear white at home are the Cowboys, Redskins, and Dolphins. And very early in the season some teams (like the Jets this year) will choose white because of the heat.

[VJCPatriot]

Well the battle of unbeatens is about to start. 8-0 vs 7-0. If the Pats beat the Colts today, can we start to seriously talk about going undefeated??

[chunkypony]

I am excited.

[BradyisGod]

Charlie Casserly is a piece of garbage. Just spent his whole show knocking the pats and how to beat them, etc...

[Seymour93]

Charley Casserly on The NFL Today says today's officiating crew favors DB's over WR's in terms of pass interference and illegal contact, FWIW.

[SoCalPatsfan90]

The officials... Watching some pregame stuff.

Not many Defensive PI calls, but league leading in Offensive PI calls (watch the hands Randy). Not many Illegal contact calls either... should be an interesting passing day.

[VJCPatriot]

Brady finally has the weapons to match Peyton. I am expecting to see some real fireworks today!

Oh they showed replays of the Pats/Colts last 9 games on ESPN.
Pats/Colts is quick becoming the most exciting matchup in sports!

[Seymour93]

Absolutlely.

[VJCPatriot]

Absolutlely.

Hehe. I can't wait.
Aaah that kid Jason Krause is running up the score!

Pats scoring by quarters (according to ESPN):
79 100 66 86

WOW. And the Colts have been a slow 1st half team?
This game could get away quick!

[chunkypony]

Wow, Tom Jackson is such a bitter SOB. Emmitt and Keyshawn were talking about how the Pats are trying to improve etc., every week, and Jackson keeps mumbling under his breath "Cheating....videotaping....cheating."

I can't believe this guy.

And Ditka says that the PAtriots are trying to be America's team, but they never will be because no one likes them outside of Boston.

This show is a joke.

That's just stupid. I don't think the Patriots have ever pretended to be America's team. We leave that bit of arrogance to the cowpokes. And Ditka is just a bitter has been. He will be long remembered for throwing his draft away to take Rickey "pothead" Williams.

[chrisfx811]

Why is Tom Jackson so bitter?
Didn't he play under Shanahan, a guy who openly spoke of some of the signal stealing techniques.

I'm starting to wonder if concussions aren't a more serious problem than what is talked about in the media. It seems Young & Jackson are showing signs of dementia.

i officially have a rock bottom amount of respect for Jackson. Got caught cheating..what did cheating do for us? Goodell said he doesnt see an "advantage" and its clear we didnt need to

Ditka..yeah were trying to be Americas team..sure. Because BB cares what other people think about us. If anything, we are trying to be america's most hated team that gets respect however.

Jackson is bitter because we he went to shake BB's hand after SB XXXVIII in Houston, BB told him to "F-ck off." :rocker:

Didn't BB say "F*ck You" to Jackson in the past when Jackson tried to shake his hand. Jackson made some nasty comments about BB earlier in the season.

I think I read that in Patriot Reign.

[chunkypony]

Everyone but Keyshawn and Parcells picks the Colts.

Boomer picks the Pats too.

[Jr.]

Majority of NFL Countdown picked Colts lol with the exception of Keyshawn and Bill Parcells

These idiots are idiotic

[VJCPatriot]

Tom Jackson is such a hypocrite. In his position matchups he gave like 6 out of 8 categories to the Pats. But he picks the Colts to win? Isn't this the same idiot who said the Patriots hate their coach? :p

[STFarmy]

I'm surprised. I thought it would have been more even. There's been all this talk about how it's the "greatest test that the Patriots have face all year." Well perhaps I'm missing something, but isn't this the biggest test that the Colts have faced all year too? I can definitely see this being a close game, but if the Pats get ahead early and have some good defensive stops of the Colts (which I think is possible seeing that Harrison is back in the secondary after missing the last three games against the Colts), it might get to be a Pats blowout.

[jct]

Rotoworld is projecting M Harrison to sit and Watson to play...

November 4, 2007
Welcome to Indy
By Mike Reiss, Globe Staff

INDIANAPOLIS -- Welcome to the RCA Dome, where the Patriots (8-0) visit the Colts (7-0) today in a highly anticipated matchup.

Because of the media demand for this game, the Colts have set up two auxiliary press areas underneath the RCA Dome for overflow members of the press. There are also tables in the back of the press box that are overflow seating. From that media perspective, this is a playoff-like feel inside the dome.

Walking through the downtown area Satuday night and Sunday morning, one could feel the excitement building for this clash. Yet when compared to the buzz of the Patriots-Cowboys game in Dallas on Oct. 14, it was surprisingly a bit more reserved here.

The Bills, Eagles and Chargers are scheduled to be represented by pro scouts today in the press box. The Colts visit the Chargers next week, and the Patriots have their off weekend before a trip to Buffalo.

John Parry, a first-year referee, gets the call today. Parry spent his first seven seasons as a side judge and worked Super Bowl XLI in that capacity.

We'll plan on filing updates throughout the day.

On a completely unrelated note, is Mike Reiss like really, REALLY short? He was doing a live spot w/ Alice Cook on the pregame show, and they were like the same height.

Alice Cook is like 5'2". Maybe she was standing on a milk crate.

[skspikex2]

I think another key matchup would be Seymour on that backup OT.

[VJCPatriot]

I think another key matchup would be Seymour on that backup OT.

I'll agree with that. Is Ugoh out? I thought he was going to play. Regardless Ugoh or his backup will need double team help against Seymour or he will be shoved right back into Peyton's lap. The Pats have the advantage with their front 7. Pressuring Manning is a key to this game for sure.

[denverpatsfan]

A few thoughts before I head out to the sports bar for this game.

Does everyone honestly believe that the Colts cornerbacks are the best in the league. The way people talk about that defense you think that they have probowlers back there. Doesn't the Colts defense usually play from ahead and they know what the opposing offense is going to do most of the time? Pass the ball. Only this season they aren't 3 TD's ahead just 10-14 points. Are we really expected to think that these second year players can stop some of the best wideouts in the league? Who have they faced so far? Tennessee and Jacksonville's wideouts don't even come close to the talent level of the Patriots.

Can Polian have hit paydirt on ALL his draft picks? Isn't that impossible? But that's what the media is essentially saying about the new players on this defense.

Go Pats!

[VJCPatriot]

Does everyone honestly believe that the Colts cornerbacks are the best in the league. The way people talk about that defense you think that they have probowlers back there.

The Colts 2 starting cornerbacks are - Kelvin Hayden and Marlin Jackson.

Scouting reports:
Hayden is in his 3rd year, 2nd round pick #60 overall from 2005 draft
http://www.nfl.com/players/kelvinhayden/profile?id=HAY034606

Jackson is also in his 3rd year, 1st round pick # 29 overall from 2005 draft
http://www.nfl.com/players/marlinjackson/profile?id=JAC399489

They each are 6' tall so they match up well to tall wide receivers.
The Colts investment in their secondary is starting to pay off.
Perhaps this was why they were willing to let both of their starters leave to free agency.

But make no mistake, Bob Sanders is the real playmaker in that defense.
Hayden and Jackson have played containment roles in the Colts Cover 2 scheme.
They are not ballhawks like Samuel who will force a lot of turnovers.
So far in the year they only have 2 total interceptions between the two of them.

I believe that the Pats CAN throw on these corners. If Bob Sanders is forced to drop back to prevent the deep ball, that will take him away from the line of scrimmage and allow Maroney to gash the Colts D.
There are just too many weapons on the Pats to defend, especially now that Watson is back to complement Welker, Moss, and Stallworth.

[Patriot_in_NY]

I'll agree with that. Is Ugoh out? I thought he was going to play. Regardless Ugoh or his backup will need double team help against Seymour or he will be shoved right back into Peyton's lap. The Pats have the advantage with their front 7. Pressuring Manning is a key to this game for sure.

Ugoh is OUT......... So is Harrison.

They'll likely have to keep TE help in to block (or Manning gets killed). This changes their offense A LOT.

Also, rumor is Freddy Keiaho is out too. That does not help them either.

Watson on field
By Mike Reiss, Globe Staff

It is still a good 2 hours and 30 minutes before kickoff but TE Benjamin Watson, in shorts and a long-sleeve t-shirt, is on the RCA Dome field jogging.

Watson, who has missed the last two games with a left ankle injury, is questionable on the injury report. He spent some time speaking with tight ends coach Pete Mangurian, and then began catching passes.

[SVN]

Wow, Tom Jackson is such a bitter SOB. Emmitt and Keyshawn were talking about how the Pats are trying to improve etc., every week, and Jackson keeps mumbling under his breath "Cheating....videotaping....cheating."

Rumor, or is Keiaho out for sure...anything on that?

It was just posted on the Ugoh/Harrison out thread............... I've not seen it confirmed. Just Hoping.

[cblesz]

It is huge because he is fast an might be able to keep with Welker...

[kptmorgan04]

I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am literraly going CRAZY!

LET THE GAME START!!!!!!!!!!!

I have never ever heard more hype for a regular season game in my life and I just cant take it! we need to move kickoff up a few hours and get this thing started!!!

Pats: 37
Colts: 17

[chrisfx811]

I look for a decent amount of screens & draws to compensate for the inexperience at tackle.
Making Addai stay home to block or tying up their slot & te's for an extra 2 seconds will pay great dividends.

[chunkypony]

I know it isn't, but I can't help but shake this feeling that today is the super Bowl. I am too excited to do anything. I have been trying to do homework all day and I keep coming back to espn.com, cbssportsline.com, or here!

I CANT WAIT ANY LONGER!

[jct]

Ben Watson is active for the Patriots Sunday.

He's expected to start. If healthy, he could exploit holes in the Indy Cover two. Inactive Patriots Sunday: QB Matt Gutierrez (3rd quarterback), S Mel Mitchell, S Eugene Wilson, ILB Eric Alexander, OT Wesley Britt, G/C Billy Yates, TE Marcellus Rivers, and DL Kareem Brown.Ben Watson is active for the Patriots Sunday.


Marvin Harrison and LT Tony Ugoh are both inactive for the Colts.

He didn't practice all week. Also out: CB Michael Coe, DB Brannon Condren, LB Tyjuan Hagler, LB Freddie Keiaho, DT Quinn Pit****, and WR Craphonso Thorpe. Anthony Gonzalez will start at wide receiver. Look for the Patriots to attack new LT Charles Johnson.

Seymour took starting reps in warmups
http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/reiss_pieces/
Based on pre-game warmups, it looks like DE Richard Seymour will move into the starting lineup today. Seymour took his pre-game reps with the first unit at right defensive end.

Seymour in focus
By Mike Reiss, Globe Staff
Based on pre-game warmups, it looks like DE Richard Seymour will move into the starting lineup today. Seymour took his pre-game reps with the first unit at right defensive end.

Seymour came off the bench and played in 22 of 57 snaps last week against the Redskins (includes one play in which holding was called) and his workload figures to increase today.

[Disco Volante]

2 ******* minutes.

:rocker: :rocker: :rocker: :rocker:

enjoy the game fellas..... i hope the pats crush them and that stadium is quiet as a library

Why the hell is this Chargers game still on!??!!??! SWITCH IT CBS!!

SERIOUSLY WTF?!?!?!?!

[Seymour93]

Samuel covering Gonzalez on first play... Hmmmm...

[drew4008]

This ridiculous that I have to watch the first few minutes on my computer. Sh*tty CBS is pissing me off.

[Michael]

Samuel stop playing the ball and tackle

[desi-patsfan]

This ridiculous that I have to watch the first few minutes on my computer. Sh*tty CBS is pissing me off.

strange they havent changed for you, SD is clearly over.

[SoCalPatsfan90]

This ridiculous that I have to watch the first few minutes on my computer. Sh*tty CBS is pissing me off.

At least you can do that... my company blocks streaming....

[Hollywood_Brady]

whats up with the chargers game!!!!!..... arg!

[pats1]

Notice that some players on defense are wearing black play call wristbands for the first time this year - Samuel, a few others.

Mostly 4-2 nickel to start.

[chunkypony]

Cmon Defense

[pats1]

Hobbs also has a play-call band on.

Harrison mainly playing NB so far. I'm guessing Sanders and Meriweather deep.

[danny88]

Cmon Defense

Not a good start... As usual

[Michael]

gift one

wtg warren

[chunkypony]

bull****....

[DefenseRules]

We are off to a ROUGH start. Come on Guys settle down.

[SoCalPatsfan90]

Not a good start... As usual

Whats that mean? Game just ended, now at commercial

[Phoenix111]

Same old Defense.

[ATippett56]

The Patriots defense better wake up!

[danny88]

We are off to a ROUGH start. Come on Guys settle down.

This is disgraceful. I mean seriously can we start a game without letting the opposing team just march down

[SoxFanNH]

****ty call already at least its coming back...

[cblesz]

Cbs Freaking Sucks!!!!

[pats1]

Gay also has a band...no Harrison, so I'm guessing it's a CB-only thing.

[Michael]

Zebras showing up for the colts as usual

[Seymour93]

Refs making us waste a challenge.

[emoney_33]

Get the damn call right the first time, how do you mess that one up!

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Defense is looking shaky at best to start...

[Mix]

Stupid that they have to waste a challenge there. 2 refs looking right at it.

[chunkypony]

the refs are on today so far :rolleyes:

[Seymour93]

Hobbs also has a play-call band on.

Harrison mainly playing NB so far. I'm guessing Sanders and Meriweather deep.

Meriweather is on the sidelines talking to Andrews.

[SoxFanNH]

Get the damn call right the first time, how do you mess that one up!

Pretty obvious and easy call too... pathetic

[Phoenix111]

Haven't seen AD on the field once yet. Wonder what the deal is?

[Sean Pa Patriot]

I love Tedy ,but he has lost a step on covering backs out of the backfield...

[hambone1818]

Generous spot on the first down, now a clear out of bounds being listed as a catch (and by clear I mean the line judge was staring RIGHT AT his feet). Just makes me mad.

[MoLewisrocks]

This isn't quite the team they planned for. Give them time and the D will settle.

WTF was that linesman looking at... I already don't like this crew. Polian must have requested them.

[PaulNEPats]

These refs are a joke.

[The Gr8est]

I'm concerned about the officiating. It is strange that a rookie gets his first start in this game. I smell Polian.

[Michael]

2 refs right on top of it and they both miss iT?????

[chunkypony]

Stupid WASTE OF A CHALLENGE

[sarge]

That is crap that a challenge was wasted on something so freaking obvious!

[PaulNEPats]

Come on Run D, you need to have a good game today

[danny88]

This is horrible

[hambone1818]

Vrabel guessed wrong there...

[DefenseRules]

I'm not happy with this defensive scheme at all. :mad:

[danny88]

Wow the pats look god awful

[DefenseRules]

So much for our D having an advantage in this game. :rolleyes:

[makoute]

I'm not happy with this defensive scheme at all. :mad:

Agree, not pretty

[RhodyPatFan]

looks like some 4-3 being played where is thomas?

[BradyisGod]

A lot of holding out there.

[cavtroop]

I'm not happy with this defensive scheme at all. :mad:

it'll change up if its not working, its still early...

[Mix]

Nice holding....

[Phoenix111]

The Pats are going to have to score on every possession to hang in there today sadly.

[hambone1818]

Give 'em time, they'll adjust and they get more comfortable as the game wears on. The Buffalo game certainly comes to mind when thinking of slow starts.

[DefenseRules]

Richard Seymour is getting handled out there.

[danny88]

The pats are going to get killed if the keep playing this way

[cavtroop]

Harrison got RAPED

[chunkypony]

Offensive?

[hambone1818]

"Good non-call"...are you kidding me?!? He tackled him!

[Seymour93]

Welcome back Richard! :rocker:

[DefenseRules]

It's about time Richard showed up.

[PatriotNation]

They need to get out of thie 4-3

[PaulNEPats]

So apparently Clark can mug Rodney and there's no penalty, gotta love it

[ATippett56]

Nice play Richard Seymour!

[chunkypony]

Tony Ugoh = Charlie Murphy?

[Seymour93]

Nice rebound by the defense.

[Keegs]

what a conservative pansy call

[hambone1818]

Hold 'em to a field goal...fantastic. This D will adjust, I'm not worried about it.

[drew4008]

Yesss. Go to hell you bastard Vinatieri.

[Jr.]

Vinaterrie choke hahaha

[Michael]

Thanks AV!!!!!! :rocker:

[Seymour93]

Yeah that's what you get Vinatraitor!

[BHSL2]

Way to step up defense!

[DefenseRules]

Adam Missed!!

:D

[hambone1818]

Not Even Close

[chunkypony]

Hahahaha

The Vinitraitor!!!!!

[Mix]

Miss!

Lets go O!

[Brady to Brown]

YA baby. Adam sucks

[Keegs]

Yesss. Go to hell you bastard Vinatieri.

god bless you sir.

[SoxFanNH]

The first one, haha.

[FarScapeR]

Field Goal?

[Satchboogie3]

What happened ... boo hoo vinny. We got the Ghost! Pats ball.

[pats1]

looks like some 4-3 being played where is thomas?

It's not really 4-3, just the 4-2-5 nickel as Reiss posted.

Thomas has yet to see the field.


...AH-DAM. AH-DAM....

[BoTown]

The Jim Nantz jinx strikes again!

[ATippett56]

HA! HA! HA! Vinatraitor missed!

[jct]

Vinitraitor shanks it!!!:rocker: :rocker: :rocker:

[eastsrule]

bend but dont break.

[fumbrunner]

looked like it was tipped. Here comes Moss and co.!!!

[emoney_33]

This is disgraceful. I mean seriously can we start a game without letting the opposing team just march down

Uhh after 9 games this season the patriots have allowed a grand total of 0, yup ZERO, POINTS on their opponents first drive.

[Ahriman]

I like the 4-3 to start things off. BB knew the Colts were going to try and set up the play action for the entire game. So, he countered it. A bit shaky a first, but it got the job done.

[VJCPatriot]

And AV shanks the 50 yarder!!
YES!! Held em to 0. Now it's time for Brady to let it loose! :singing:

[frankiesfly]

**** you Adam. **** YOU!!!!

[MoLewisrocks]

Give 'em time, they'll adjust and they get more comfortable as the game wears on. The Buffalo game certainly comes to mind when thinking of slow starts.


The Nancy's on this board like Danny and unfortunately DR think if you don't shut them down on every down you're in trouble...

Maybe we won't have to score on every posession...LOL

[cblesz]

Nantz would blow any Colt if offered the opportunity. Looks like our defense is gonna let Addai get his and blanket the receivers...

[Omega Supreme]

That's gotta be one of the worst kicks I've ever seen from AV.

[italian pat patriot]

no good...

now let's go tom

[Phoenix111]

AD hurt I wonder?

[Seymour93]

Kaczur at fault there.

[DefenseRules]

Well that was ugly. :mad:

[chunkypony]

Awesome Nick....

[drew4008]

lol, you're a disgrace Kaczur.

[Phoenix111]

Colts just seem to want it more.

[Danny]

Was that Vinatieri or Vanderjagt kicking? Owned.

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Kazur sucks

[danny88]

Unreal. I mean honestly

[Ahriman]

What a horrible choke job by Kazcur there. No other way to put it. Just blew that drive.

[DefenseRules]

Punks. It's only the beginning. You better save some for later. :rolleyes:

[drew4008]

Nice punt, at least.

[Seymour93]

Another SOLID punt from Hanson.

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Its early yet, but the d better play better...

[SoCalPatsfan90]

Ok D, lets go... Return the favor!

They are going to have to chip the ends. They are too quick for Light and Kaz.

[danny88]

Pats d on the field over 5 min

colts d on the field 45 seconds




great

[MoLewisrocks]

The Colts are playing on emotion, and that makes them dangerous. We need to ramp ours up across the board. Talent will win out. Kaczur...yeesh.

[Phoenix111]

The only hope I have right now is that the early emotion of playing at home will wear off soon. Otherwise, I'm not sure the Patriots even made the trip.

[chunkypony]

The Colts are flying around. They better save their energy. It's a 60 minute game.

[Michael]

looking like the pats have psyched themselves out. i don't know how much of a game like this i can take.

[Danny]

The Nancy's on this board like Danny
I think you meant danny88?

[drew4008]

The LBs are playing terrible...

[frankiesfly]

The colts recievers are just going to run 15 yards then cut back all game

[Mix]

The Defense looks horrible...

[Brady to Brown]

Pats d on the field over 5 min

colts d on the field 45 seconds




great

That has to change.

Come on boys tackle.

[Bill Polian]

I'm glad I drafted Addai.

[PaulNEPats]

Bruschi got burned there

[Satchboogie3]

This is just aweful. Come on guys.

[danny88]

Hahahahahah The Pats Are ******* Terrible Right Now. I Mean Holy ****

[patfanken]

actually I'm pretty happy. Even on the completions the Pats has someone very close on the play. And as far as the sweeps, I thing the Pats will make the adjustment to that play.

Actually they did but they overran th play

[DefenseRules]

We suck so far. PERIOD.:mad:

[PaulNEPats]

Tackle Somebody Defense

[SoxFanNH]

So many missed tackles...

[RhodyPatFan]

the tackling is awful!

[makoute]

Tackle anyone. Is Thomas playing today???

[BradyisGod]

Who is their right guard...Diem? He is holding on every run.

[frankiesfly]

Isn't the schedule for the defending champs supposed to be harder

[Phoenix111]

Over.


10 chars

[cblesz]

What the hell are we watching???

[DefenseRules]

Well isn't that lovely.:rolleyes:

[chunkypony]

This game ******* sucks.

[frankiesfly]

We're going to get blown out. That's the way it looks now

[Sean Pa Patriot]

This is the worst Ive seen this team since 9 months ago:mad:

[Brady to Brown]

The Pats can't bring anyone down.

Bull sh!t call on Asante.

[SoxFanNH]

And he thinks he deserves a lot of money...

[emoney_33]

Another apology from the league due... WTF

[The Gr8est]

Horrible call!

[vinyl]

Game is over.

[cavtroop]

our defense looks confused as to what they are supposed to be doing. Backs to the play, chasing from behind, etc.

[pats1]

THAT'S BULL****. SAMUEL DIDN'T PULL **** DOWN, PHIL SIMMS. THIS IS BULL****. ABSOLUTELY BULL****. ******* REFS **** THE PATS EVERY ******* TIME THE PLAY THE COLTS. ABSOLUTELY BULL****.

[danny88]

What an disgrace

[frankiesfly]

I knew our D wasn't that good. I was hoping our offense would win this

[hambone1818]

why no replay?

[BradyisGod]

No replay on the fumble CBS? No? THanks a ****load.

[SoxFanNH]

Of course CBS doesn't show a replay...

[DefenseRules]

We are not winning this game. :(

[SoCalPatsfan90]

Wow, how bout the refs stop giving them the game.... since when is it PI when the ball is uncatchable? AS didn't even impead him in making the attempt

[emoney_33]

3-0, zebras

[Seymour93]

Bend but don't break baby.

[PaulNEPats]

We are not winning this game. :(

Come on, none of that. It's still early. The D better get it's act together though.

[Disco Volante]

This board makes me ******* sick some times.

It's 3-0 and you're saying the game is over? Grow up and relax.

[MoLewisrocks]

The only hope I have right now is that the early emotion of playing at home will wear off soon. Otherwise, I'm not sure the Patriots even made the trip.

With fans like you it's a wonder they bother.

I think Bill may have over strategized it and his D is paying the price.

Enough Bill.

Hey CBS - what's with the no replay crap on a potential turnover...

[makoute]

Maroney anyone? Please try a rum...

[swheeler23]

We are not the better team so far. Lucky to hold them to 3 pts there.

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Can someone please put a APB for Adalius Thomas...

[pats1]

No replay on the fumble CBS? No? THanks a ****load.

They showed 1 replay.

The call was complete bull****. Simms, while watching, said Samuel pulled the receiver down from behind, but that obviously wasn't the case.

Just another time the refs suck the Colts' ****s on deep passes.

[Bill Polian]

Isn't the schedule for the defending champs supposed to be harder

Bwahahahahaha... you mad?

[FanoftheGame]

let's see what the pats can do here!

[Patriots Nation NY]

I don't know if the Pats D can hang with Indy.. So many missed tackles.. People Out of Position.. Gonzalez owning Asante..

[Phoenix111]

I love all the money that was shelled out for AD to just sit out the Colts game. Brilliant.

[Satchboogie3]

Our O better respond loud and clear.

[Michael]

I knew the officiating would be lop sided but I'm REALLY pissed right now. This is obscene.

[cblesz]

Pass interference? Are you freaking kidding me?

[hambone1818]

We are not winning this game. :(

Oh yee of little faith. These NFL games tend to take a few hours, alot can change in that time. The Pats have had the ball for exactly 3 plays. Give them time to get the offense in the game, they'll be fine.

[cavtroop]

the negativity in this thread is amazing. 1/8th of the way through the game, were down 3-0 and you'd think we were losing 70-0.

Give the pats a chance. Defense is tired (3 and outs don't help), and our O had had the ball once. Long way to go here, lets get real.

[emoney_33]

I knew our D wasn't that good. I was hoping our offense would win this


You dont' KNOW our defense isn't good because it IS good. We are focusing on stopping the pass and the pats are uncharacteristically missing a ton of tackles on Addai. Also the PI was not a PI.

[Mix]

Atleast they held them to a field goal.

Offense has to move the ball and let the defense rest.

[Patriots4Life83]

We just took there best shot and are down by one field goal.

Now it begins...

[chunkypony]

ADT was on the punt.

I think we gotta relax here and run it a bit.

[ATippett56]

If there is a silver lining, the Colts only have three points to show for moving up and down the field in their first two drives.
