The official Patriots vs Colts game thread

[JoeShmoe]

Brady needs one more to pass Warren Moon for 6th all time in career touchdowns with 291 and needs 10 more to pass John Elway for 5th all time.

All hail TB12!!

Should be Hoyer and the scrubs time, unless they spend this drive trying to get Ocho and Underwood some balls

Okay, so basically you're saying the defense has to pitch a shutout every game, with no drives allowed beyond say two first downs. A standard the 85 Bears failed to achieve. This is what drives me crazy, the failure to understand that the other guys are pro football players too, and the game has an ebb and flow. Once again, the whining about the D is pitiful, and they've allowed all of 3 points.

Against a team as pitiful as the Colts with Dan Orlovsky as QB, yes the defense should be giving a stronger effort than today. Allowing Two long drives against this offense doesn't bode well. They do need to develop that "killer" instinct like the 85 Bears and not be content with bend but dont break. We've seen the results the last few years.

Sorry, but it doesn't project positively for the playoffs.

Can't dismiss it. This has been a problem all year. I am tired of SCRUB Qb's having career days against this defense.

Seems to me that they are very consistent in playing worse against players they have no film and tendencies on. Shows how much coaching takes place and is another reason the Patriots went 10-6 and the Colts, whose head coach looks like he's starring in "Weekend at Bernie's", are about to be 0-12.

 

[DefenseRules]

Well that sucked.

 

[Deus Irae]

I love that Brady's pissed at himself about that pass.

Right. Play like the 85 Bears. Good analysis.

You do recall the 03-04 defense was the "bend don't break" type D, right?

I mean I'm not sure how good this Pats team is, but some of the whiners on here give Eagles fans a run for their money.

Not as long as McCourty is still in.

 

[randomk1]

They're too stupid to know.

Why?

Because they are the same Simkin, RT-726 and Ric Flair who were doing the same thing LAST week when Philly had the 10-0 lead.

You can look it up.

The problem is you never wanna scrub team like that get off to a start like that and have a drive like that. Just doesn't look very promising if you start thinking about the playoffs. I don't think anybody had doubts about the W.

 

[DefenseRules]

Bad coverage. I know, nothing new for this D.

 

[andrewgarrr]

I know they are playing "bend don't break" and "keep things in front" defense, but is no one else frustrated that Orlovsky is completing virtually every pass and has a very comfortable pocket?

Why is it not a legitimate concern for the team's playoff prospects when the defense can't shut down Dan Orlovsky and this completely inept Colts offense, regardless or the scoreboard?

 

[hodgey]

still time for Orlovski to get to 400 lol

 

[DefenseRules]

It's about time Mayo!! :rocker:

 

[Deus Irae]

Mayo with the athletic move for the INT.

Egg on my face.

 

[hodgey]

huh spoke to soon!!

 

[ALP]

Mayo has a pick, god damn

 

[hovis]

First career INT?

 

[BradyFTW!]

Wow, for a guy with terrible hands, that was a fantastic pick by Mayo.

 

[randomk1]

Mayo 1st career interception! OMFG!

 

[Calciumee]

That Mayo guy never makes big plays!

And all his tackles are over the line!
