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

[sb1]

6-1 is still an awesome road record to have with a rookie QB. The only other teams with 6 road wins this year have Brady and Rodgers as their QBs.

Shows that you're a tough team when you can win on the road.

Why would line up your defense like that for a 3rd and 1? I think there was some stupidity on both sides on this one.

I would guess it would be a different look if the Pats weren't in shotgun formation.

Shifting is allowed. I don't know if Mac has the authority to realign the O, but he ought have that ability, by now.

Yeah not sure either. If he doesn't or if he's following some kind of limited script hopefully he will be given more of that authority soon.

Based on what I can see from my couch, Mac is empowered to call/shift the protection and depending on the look, can flip the play sent in by Josh.

Can he audible out of a pass/run? That I do not know.

"Sendejo lead with his head multiple times - incredibly dangerous to him and the opponent"
mf should be suspended without pay, ****ing headhunter, where is Goodell and his NYFL clowns now about the player safety, **** this mf

Yep, that little “One other Clots note” thingy should’ve been an ENTIRE ****ing paragraph long about that ****ing scumbag Sendejo… C’mon Reiss!

 

[Deus Irae]

The D sold out to try to stop any run play for a loss, with 11 men up, since even a 1st down ends the game. That situation lends itself vulnerable to a long run. Can't really get too upset. It's like complaining about an INT on a Hail Mary. It goes with the choice of play, as a unusually high probability outcome.

???

The defense failed. I pointed it out. You jumped in to white knight. How does that translate to anyone but you complaining?

I was shocked he was still in the league. He's a terrible S. In the Sorensen category.

 

[StrawHatPatriot]

That felt like an early season loss. Oh well, let's see how we play against Buffalo

The “this was their super bowl” phenomenon only makes sense when it’s a crappy team that then losses their next 8 games. The Colts are actually good.

Not fooled.

I take Mac over Wentz every time.

Y’know, I have to say that I don’t think the play with Harry was PI. Sendejo had as much of a right to that ball as Harry, and they got their hands on it at the same time. However, since Sendejo was coming at 1000 mph from behind, he’s solely responsible for the helmet-to-helmet contact. I don’t think it makes a difference that he was going for the ball rather that the hit - shoulda been a PF…

Why does that only work when it's a lousy team?

A good team can't get up for a big game, and scheme things up unique to that game, that they may have otherwise not done? A good team can't have a uniquely great performance because they're emotionally charged up and especially want to win?

The Colts hadn't beaten us in 11 years; they really wanted that one Saturday night.

None of that is to say that the Patriots played well, but the Colts had a different energy on Saturday night and I'm not sure they'd be able to get that perfect storm in a rematch.

Sendejo has every right to the ball, but he doesn't have the right to go through the offensive player to get to the ball (if the ball has yet to be touched). DPI or PF, either/both would've been appropriate IMO.

It was close, but he was early. You can't go through someone. Should've been a PI. Harry is the Rodney Dangerfield with the refs.

He hit the receiver before the ball arrived. Textbook pass interference. Having the right to the ball does not mean you can hit the receiver. Ever.
