It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I don't know why people still think the Colts are this dominant passing team. They have been wildly inconsistent on offense. One drive they look like the Colts of old. The next drive Manning's passes are off or the receivers can't pull in the ball.
Yeah, but look who we had on the field at the end of the Rams game. I'm really concerned about our secondary vs. Indy.

Indy played hard tonight. At Indy the Pats will have a tough time against that blitz. Also Peyton dealt with the Titans pressure VERY well despite the loss. I don't see the Pats D getting even close to that pressure. Going to be a tough game Sunday night. I don't think the Pats will have enough to beat the Colts if they put forth a similar effort. Hopefully they can somehow keep it close enough to make a game of it and have a shot to win late.
At the least they MUST hit Clark at the line of scrimmage! Thee defense CANNOT let him release into the backfield unopposed or it will be a long night indeed.

So people are worried that an offense that had a 30% drive success rate and a pass rush that had zero sacks last night showed that they are going to dominate the Pats on both sides of the ball last night. I saw a Colts team on both sides of the ball that was wildly inconsistent.

Peyton can make all the faces he wants. It's the sad one I like best.
Closely followed by this one:
In one word, yes.
We have the amazing ability to make any average QB looks like he is the best; so, I will not be surprised if Manning, who is already a great QB IMO and knows BB's schemes very well by now, has a great day in our game. And, after watching Clark make some solid catches among heavy coverage last night and have some good yards-after-tackle (I saw only the first half of the game), I am a bit worried whether our secondary can limit his plays.
To your point on the Colts D that had zero sacks last night: I believe that the Titans are #1 in terms of sacks allowed this season. And, if I am right, this stat compares pretty well in the last twelve years. So, irrespective of what kind of teams that the Titans played against in their last eight games, their stout OL certainly deserves kudos for not letting the Colts get to their QB. On the other hand, I am looking at our MC taking 28 sacks and have every reason to worry if our OL and MC can hold up.
All that stats aside, I hope that we get another W with no injuries so that we are well prepared and poised to take on the three significant division games coming up soon.
GO PATS!!
