Patriots vs. Colts Post-Game Thread

Very very solid game overall with some things to clean up. I would have expected for the execution to be more crisp coming off a bye week. Other than that I am so proud of this team. They continue to amaze me. I love this coach. I love our players. I love the focus. I love the mission. This season has been a crazy ride thus far.

The execution of the OL was pretty damn crisp. They were running some damn intricate blocking schemes.

Would've liked to see us give Gray 1 more carry for a yard

Gronkowski is of course amazing here, but I'm almost as impressed with Edelman on This play, particularly the way he stayed with the block. . Football poetry

First half, they tried risky shots down the field and a gimmicky play action pass. 2nd half, they simply used all the offensive weapons and scored 4 tds in a row.

Maybe go for the patient, high percentage offense we do better than anyone? I think so. If you get a shot that's wide open in stride, go for it, but why let the other team in the game?

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.

Brady is my favorite player, but Gronk is closing the GAP quick! LOL

Respect. I was looking overall. There definitely were good individual performances and the OL was amazing. However, there were tons of penalties and turnovers. That can't happen as the games get bigger.

Offense:
1. OL outstanding on run, iffy on pass
2. Introducing Mr. Gray!
3. What fun that Gronk is.
4. Dominating, even with Brady being somewhat off.

Defense:
1. Outstanding on run
2. Bend, but does not break on pass

Overall, great win.

It's a 22 point road victory vs a team whos D has been stingy this season (they had 1 awful game vs Steelers)

If you're on the road and win by 10, it's pretty much a blow out in my book

The injury isn't worth the 1 yard stat

Somebody call PETA too, the Patriots have been abusing horses these past 3 weeks!

The DB wanted no part of the rest of that play. LOL

Hate to say it but you load Manning up with weapons like Gray and LaFell and he would be unstoppable.

Another good win. Now the mediois can shut up about the Patriots having not beaten a quality team on the road and blah blah blah.

BTW in case you missed it there is a new series on NBC called State of Affairs or Affairs of State or something like that.

Gronk looked like he was swating flies on the TD run.

Love the Jermaine Wiggens-esque leap at the end ...

He couldn't move the ball with D Thomas and Welker today

Some of you are acting like I said they had a bad game. Brady threw two INT's. The Patriots, who already lead the league in penalties, had some that could have been avoided. A better D tonight would have made for a closer game. The Colts have a terrible D so they could not take advantage of NE's mistake, other than the one touchdown on a very short field. A better defensive team, and that game would not have been so easy.

I am very happy with the win and I will reiterate that it was a very solid win overall. However, there's plenty to clean up and I'm sure you'll hear as much in the post game talk.

Weird they couldn't get more pressure re on luck. They were unlucky in that regard.

Richardson was really unproductive. Really, I mean literally. He had 7 rushes for ZERO yards. Browns are laughing all the way to the bank.

@OliverBThomas: Thought Dominique Easley turned in an impressive performance, more than his one tackle indicated. Quick into the pocket, got to Andrew Luck.

If Easley can start to heat up...oh boy

Now that's a stiff arm.
