Both the colts and packers hit brady a lot. Colts made him uncomfortable but fortunately he had gray to lean on until he settled down and got ina rhythm . Without stork it could get interesting in both the running and passing game.Thanks, buddy.
One of the great things that came from last week was that we got to see the offense revert back to good form again, so if that continues things should be fine. The addition of the running game would only add to that even more.
I'd like to see the defense clean up a bit from last week, but I think that's more of a one-time deal than cause for concern.

Yes but this oline is different this year. Not the same as in the past. I sure hope they dont do the rotation crap they pulled in the regular season with stork out.Doesn't Brady tend to play better against a team that blitzes (getting out the ball quickly and taking advantage of the mismatches in the secondary a blitz creates) than a team that can generate a pass rush without a blitz? I've always heard its the latter that can give Brady fits (hence why the Ravens always seem like a matchup problem).
Later gives everyone problems. Anytime you can get pressure rushing 4 it's going to cause problems.Doesn't Brady tend to play better against a team that blitzes (getting out the ball quickly and taking advantage of the mismatches in the secondary a blitz creates) than a team that can generate a pass rush without a blitz?

Not sure 'complete garbage' is an accurate statement of any unit in any win, much less one that, when down 28-14, allowed a total of 3 points the rest of the way so the team could get a comeback win.
Now if you called the Ravens defense complete garbage in that game, you would be closer, but the funny thing is more people on this board would argue that statement.
The last thing the Pats need to fix is the slow starts. Bill fixed the O line and I would bet good money they're working on their starts. I expect the game with the colts to be easier than the ravens by far.
Whereas the Pats almost lost against the ravens, I see them getting started earlier and winning by 11.
Brady had the best QBR in the NFL this year against the blitz.Doesn't Brady tend to play better against a team that blitzes (getting out the ball quickly and taking advantage of the mismatches in the secondary a blitz creates) than a team that can generate a pass rush without a blitz?

Hopefully, but not necessarily. He could have torn his ACL for all we know.
Gray should stop using twitter.
The biggest thing going for the colts is confidence. They won a game no one picked them to win and now come in again in the same situation. And the colts are 12-0 in the luck era in repeat games vs teams they have lost. They have nothing to lose on sunday reaching the AFCCG only in the 3rd yr of the luck era. Pressure is on the pats to take advantage of the opportunity. So we cant afford to start slow and fall behind and give this team more confidence. Lets hope our defense shows up to start.
Did you watch the Raven's game, our D flat out sucked for most of it. Stop being a homer.
I also think with a wet and sloppy field, Bill will not put his trust in Gray but rather Blount. Bill knows what he has in Blount and I can almost guarantee he will go that route versus trusting the younger, and potentially better, Gray.
