[meatface]

I always like when people propose "solutions" to Gronk, if you try it he will throw you out of the club

Interestingly a lot of them pick the colts to win and constantly cite this nugget


or the 2010 jet game

A) What does the Texans defense have to do with the Patriots?
B) What does 2010 have to do with 2104

I'm not confident in this game at all. Colts have a bunch of weapons on offense and their defense has been playing real well lately. The Pats defense was lethargic last week and the state of our Oline is kinda scary right now.

By gametime i'll be low 40s with a cold, steady rain with some wind kicking up.

It'll be interesting to see how a young, promising QB leads a dome team does under this kind of weather and pressure against a team playing at home that is built for this kind of weather.

Fair point, but that's not going to matter if NE plays lackadaisical defense again.

I think you will see a different defense tomorrow night. My moles tell me there was a lot of anger in Foxboro this week.

Hodge is 4-0, beware of Hodge.

which means he picked the Pats last week!! In week one of playoffs he was 2-2 picking the Bengals over the Colts and the Steelers over the Ravens. Gee, that's a reach going with his team and the other AFC north team in week 1. Hoge means nothing....

 

[Pat the Pats Fan]

I don't mind people picking against the Pats, but somebody needs to call out Merrill Hoge for his anti Pats bias if he really did pick Indy. I can't remember him ever not picking against the pats.

Best was when Rich Eisen called out Marshall Faulk for that a few years ago.

He picked the Pats over the Ravens last week.....I think he hates the ravens more than the Pats.

Not all of the ESPN "Experts" have picked yet, but it will be no surprise to anyone that Merrill Hoge picks the Colts.

There goes his perfect record. It's what happens when you pick with your heart, not your head. Or when missing a brain...

I wanna see the kind of defense during the stretch we saw vs. Chicago, Denver, and Detroit earlier this year.

Oh, and I could never forget the San Diego game.

Thanks for a really useful link!
FWIW, 88% have the Pats and 83% have Seattle, but 86% had the Steelers and 88% had the Broncos.

I don't like like the Pats being picked so much. Even TB seems a little ****y. I like when we are the underdogs. Bad mojo. No Sir, don't like it.

Agree with everything except TB seeming ****y. Otherwise, agree.

I know he's just feeling confident, but it gives me bad memories of "only 17-14?"

Yeah he probably felt it was like torchure having to select one team

Sergio Brown of all people gave him a nice dance on one play. It had a conga vibe to it.
