I am curious to see how the Pats come out this week. When we last played Indy, it was run, run, run and Gronk was not a focus of the game. But just last week it was pass, pass, pass with Gronk being a big focus, at least to get us going when we were stalled. I'm just hoping the D shows up and doesn't let Indy go up and down the field as they did the Ravens. It was maddening! What the heck happened there?

I think the big difference between the Colts and Ravens is the O-Line. I would say the Ravens probably have the best O-Line in the NFL and they are very physical. Forsett led the league in yards before being touched this year. The Colts on the other hand have a tough time running the ball and i don't think we need to stack the box to stop the run. This will allow us to play Hilton man up with over the top help, rather than putting a safety in the box and employing run blitzes with our LB. Browner and Revis are both strong tacklers and we can play tight on the line and support the run. I think we have the tools to make it very difficult for the Colts to march up and down the field.
