I expect the Colts will do what the Colts do. On D, they will keep everything in front of them and make you get sustained drives down the field. I think the Patriots will take what the Colts give em, and barring a lot of turnovers, will put some points on the board.
On offense, I think the Colts will really want their receivers to get time with the inexperienced NE secondary. I expect they'll often keep guys in full protect and let their receivers make plays. They'll certainly switch it up with runs, spread formation and short routes, but I think the Colts plan to have intermediate and long passes be their bread and butter.
The wildcard here is what BB will do on defense. The Pats secondary is inexperienced, but they're fast, young and overall, pretty solid tacklers. I wouldn't be surprised to see some exotic stuff here, a there's a good chance to see 5 LB's on the field on a couple of occasions. I really think BB is going to blitz the crap out of Manning, inluding a few corner blitzes, and try to take advantage of his overall speed on D.
What do y'all think the gameplan will be?
