Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thead- Pats@Colts

I don't. I expect as the game goes on, McD will open it up and let Mac loose. It's indoors.

Keeping the D off balance will give Stevenson more room to work with.

Agree re Indoors. Don’t think we’ll see bomb after bomb, but I’d be surprised if the pass/run isn’t closer to the same vs last game’s ratio…

I think we are going to throw a lot and push the ball downfield in intermediate and deep areas.
Mac has been given more each week and I think they spend the bye adding to that aspect.

I liked Ozigbo as UDFA for Pats that Draft . some were pretty high on him. He really shined that Shrine week.
Since running game is 80% OL/team blocking he can be productive as any. Can catch as well.
Colts have no idea about him in Pats uniform which is a nice surprise factor to have in a big game & so late in the season..

What is his fumbling history? This is a Colts team that causes fumbles bigly.

(1) I love the usage of « bigly ».
(2) NE’s really got to protect that ball - the TO battle’s gotta favour the Patriots imo.

Ozigbo...

He has barely played in the NFL. No history to mention. I am sure if he was a "fumbler" in college, BB would not have signed him.

Wondering if Wade has passed Williams yet…

How the hell is JJ Taylor still on the covid list? He was put on it November 30th.

Maybe because Covid makes some people very ill and that is the case here? That’s a sincere “maybe,” not a sarcastic one.

Another possibility is they are using it to “stash” him.

He’s either quite sick or they’re using it as a roster spot.

Interesting new Covid development:

damn...miss my dawg Sony Ps4

Bill’s HC can’t even keep his cool for a home game. BB can lead his team to first place AND think of stashing. NE > BUF.

In seriousness : the HCs of this league are a putrid bunch, overall. There is a lot of lamenting on this board, but I can’t imagine following 5/6 of this league’s poorly run teams.

Thankful to again be playing games that matter in December.

Yep, this is exactly where I’m at as well. A year ago they had the worst QB in football and it looked like it was going to take another 3-5 years before returning to serious contender status, and now we are looking at the playoffs just a few short weeks away. I’m really happy about how far they have come since last season ended, another strong off-season and they should be a perennial final four team once again.

Im not writing them off for this season as anything can happen, especially when you get Belichick and his staff in a win or go home situation, there is no better coach in sports in that scenario, however I also don’t think they are a lock for the playoffs yet, and I think the possibility of Patriots fans not being satisfied with anything less than a Lombardi is always there. This has been a great season, hopefully they continue down this road, so far so good.

I hope so

Jones with glove on left hand that put him on injury report this week.

Jinx.

Interesting if J. Williams sits. Matchup size wise re: Pittman that is, to throw multiple looks at Wentz with Jackson, McCourty, Phillips, Duggar, Bryant, likely all to get a chance.
