um, KC?
i seem to remember many a prediction that the pats were gonna run rough-shod over the poor colts d. since that was the general expectation here, i would assume you thought your running game was plenty good. no?
With the exception of the last two minutes of the first half and the last five minutes of the second half, the game clock will be restarted following a kickoff return, a player going out of bounds on a play from scrimmage, or after declined penalties when appropriate on the referee’s signal.
rules that were implemented, i believe, last season (might have been this one tho). anyway...the clock only stops when there's something like under 4 min to go in each half. i don't remember the exact way it written. i'll see if i can find it.
actually, you'd be shocked to see how much they actually do play the run. the colts have rarely (compared to the last 2 years) used the 3 WR formation. even when they do, it's ususally a TE out in the slot.
ok, here's what i've seen very few people mention. the actual cause for the remarks was this:
the jets were running a no-huddle offense AND substituting players each between plays. when the offense changes personell, the defense is to be given time to make a change in response.
as has been...
ok,
colts get possession with 5:06 to go in the game. they run the ball 4 times...houston calls a time out at 3:35.
colts run the ball 3 more time...houston calla time out with 2:42 to go in the game.
houston then changes their defensive package to load up on the run, so the colts offense...
ok...first of all, AV was out of the game
secondly, peyton threw 4 times in the 4th quarter...the colts ran it 12 times.
how is this "stat padding" OR trying to "run up the score?"
obviously i need a remedial english lesson
why do you talk about the game as if you actually know what happeded.
21 of houston's points and a large percentage of their stats came in the 4th quarter. this is the very same 4th quarter that saw the entire colts second string playing defense.
indeed. they ran more than they threw in the 4th quarter, plus the 2nd string d was giving up points left and right. if the other team stacks the box, peyton's gonna throw. it has nothing to do with any stat other than first downs.:rolleyes:
