Game Day Thread Official Post Game Thread- Colts beat the Pats

[Dingleberry]

Hey! @venecol is neither deaf nor blind.

Just for the record, only busting the chops of my buddy @venecol

He was right on his point.

Had a ton going on today and somehow forgot the game was a Saturday game and not Sunday… didn’t realize it til there was only 3 min left so I only caught the end. Trying to catch up on what happened from the comments by you guys, sounds like a sloppy game. As bad as early in the season? Worse? Seemed like they were coming to life at the end before they gave up that home run.

I felt like this one had a good chance to be a loss just due to how many in a row the Pats have won now and the fact that their run D is only okay usually, and being an away game, etc. I would be fine with the loss. But knowing sloppiness played such a big part in it sucks. Hopefully they can sharpen up for next week since a loss to the Bills really messes up their playoff situation.

Having said that, games like these do remind me that this is still a rebuilding team. Sometimes it’s easy to forget.

LOL, yeah...you turned it on around the right time. It wasn't pretty

Miami giving up 11 ppg their last 5...there are no cakewalks vs Miami or Buffalo. at this point we should be happy w a home game happy as a pig in schitt w a division title.mm

Lol, thanks for making me smile APF!

 

[zipster9]

Yea. That about sums it up.

Could not stop Colts' RB. He ran over 160 yds in the game. Even though Patriots suppose to be ready for the run... Nope. Wentz went 5/12 throws.

The Pats need to use the Back-shoulder fades more.. Mac is so good at throwing them..

Tonight we saw why people were saying "Mac doesn't have a strong arm". He's not going to blow it by LBs with darts. On the throw to Bolden he'd have been better putting some arc on it.. then the LB doesn't get to it and Bolden gets a huge chunk..

Can’t wait to see him improve in that area this off-season and take a big second year jump. I have no doubt he will work on building up his strength.

 

[Dr Pain]

when was the Bolden play where he was called that he stepped out of bounds. I want to go back and look at it

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

Stupid call on the FG instead of TD killed our momentum and that was the end.

nice to get the second TD but it was never going to happen by that point.

****ing penalties didn’t help, stupid false starts every time we’re in a crucial position.

Disagree on fg... Right call at the time... Maybe right before halftime was wrong call.... The defense cheated on henry because they don't respect harry

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Bill got pants tonight by Reich.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

Indy is a matchup woth our run defense

 

[203Pat]

Outside of Hunter Henry I would be hard pressed to say anyone played well tonight. Isaiah Wynn was horrific. He's had his ups and downs but tonight he was terrible. Penalties and badly missed blocks. Special teams was another group. Blocked punt and another one that was close. Bailey was pretty bad and Gunner got lucky that his punt fumble went out of bounds. Play calling in general. Stretch runs on third down and kicking that field goal basically made us need a miracle to win the game. Mac Jones looked pretty bad all night. The delay of game. The picks. The near picks. He looked bad and was lucky he didn't throw 4 INTs instead of two. He was throwing behind guys and floating balls all night. He has played pretty well as of late but tonight mat have been even worse than the Saints or Texans games.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

At work couldn’t watch but the stay sheet says bad game from everybody but dmac and harry.

WE NEED A LB NEXT YEAR

IM ALL IN ON DUGGAH

Need a nose tackle

 

[Dr Pain]

when was the Bolden play where he was called that he stepped out of bounds. I want to go back and look at it

I just found and he puts a toe out it looks like 4th, 13:09

 

[DropKickFlutie]

Colts game plan was easy. Where is Godchaux lined up?? Run there.

Pats offense was anemic again, IQ schematic disadvantage against most defensive DCs.

And too many self inflicted Pats wounds, punt blocks , penalties at the worst times

Miami giving up 11 ppg their last 5...there are no cakewalks vs Miami or Buffalo. at this point we should be happy w a home game happy as a pig in schitt w a division title.mm

Not winning the division would be a total failure.

 

[DaBruinz]

How much cap will we be saving with Hightower and McCourty next season?

None, TROLL. It's costing the Pats 6.5M to not have McCourty on the Roster. Go the **** away.

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

What was up with that bell ringing? There were a couple of times the Pats’ offense was on the field with that thing still ringing.

There were a lot of odd, extra loud noises going on. Pumped crowd noise?,,, again?

 

[Jlaff]

The blocked punt for TD. The red zone interception. The false start at the one by Owenu. The penalty on missed FG. The sneak allowed at 4th and 1 when we needed the time. The missed tackle by Hightower for the TD by Taylor. The missed interception for pick-6 by Collins. Missed interception by Jackson.

All that killed the Pats.

I loved the heart Mac showed tonight.

And with all that I still think they win with proper officiating.

 

[DropKickFlutie]

Need a nose tackle

This is the #1 need. Was also the case at the start of the year. Need a bonafide fat guy NT. Godchaux SUCKS.

Been hoping for Harry to get more looks downfield and he delivered. I'd like to see that play in some less obvious situations too, play actions, etc. It would at the least keep defenses more honest
