The official Patriots vs Colts game thread

[BradyFTW!]

lol, you guys are ridiculous. For whatever reason, Moore seems to be getting a tryout at CB. Makes some kind of sense, I suppose, since Jones has been getting a lot of reps at safety.

As it turns out (and this should surprise no one), he's a ****ty CB. Nothing to see here, I'm pretty sure we won't see Moore playing corner in the playoffs.

 

[DefenseRules]

Get Guyton off the field.

 

[mosi]

Man, I don't get this team. One moment that can look unstoppable, and the next, terrible.

Just don't get it.

 

[shmessy]

It's probably because we expect that a playoff level defense would be swamping this Colts offense, and this defense is not doing that.

"This defense" today is starring Niko Koutivides, Matthew Slater and somebody named "Norm".

What are you analyzing?

I agree - - if you see "this defense" in the playoffs, we are in trouble.

lulz...guyton making an appearance.

 

[Michael]

Why was Moore on Garcon? Wasn't McCourty on him?

You mean the McCourty who handed them their first TD?

 

[Deus Irae]

Because they are working on stuff they would not normally be working on if this was an important tight game?

It's 31-10 with 6 minutes to go in the game. Matthew Slater has been playing safety most of the game, Niko the K is playing OLB and we have two guys named Norm playing on Offense and Defense.

When does it dawn on people that BB is treating this game like it's the afternoon session of a Tuesday in August in back of the stadium?

When he apologizes to the reporter and admits he was an asshat?

OT but Tebow finally has a good game throwing the ball...and Denver's defense looks almost as bad as New England's against a rookie QB and a backup RB. Looks like the winning streak is going to come to an end for the Broncos.

 

[ausbacker]

It's a 17 point lead. How does that not feel like a win?

Don't be facetious Deus, it's another pathetic defensive performance glossed over by the brilliance of Tom Brady.

I'm not analyzing anything, Smessy. I'm perfectly content with the victory as it's played out, although I did want a 21 point spread.

 

[DefenseRules]

Sit down Brady. You wasted your opportunities to score more points.

 

[slash83]

God I Hope Dmc is ok, Moore looks poor at corner. And I agree with the other person, BB is experimenting with the combo of Moore and slater.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

GRONK recovers the onside kick, and now it's time for the Brian Hoyer Experience.

 

[upstater1]

Why do coaches never call timeout right before the 2 minute warning?
In this situation, you should call it as soon as the play is over.

You know who is not playing for the Broncos?

 

[WeezyFbaby]

I used to think you were a level headed poster but frankly you are being unbearable this game. take it easy deep breathes for god sakes

Nah.... Belichick would never have used the personnel packages he has if the Colts had been any kind of threat.

Don't be facetious Deus, it's another pathetic defensive performance glossed over by the brilliance of Tom Brady.

The Pats were up 4 TDs. If they continue to play their starters and someone gets hurt, the fans are up in arms. If they put a bunch of JAGs in the game and play some guys out of position, and the Colts score as a result, the fans are up in arms.

Belichick's playing A) for the win and B) to keep the team as healthy as he can. Both goals are being pretty soundly accomplished today.

With Curtis Painter, the Colts were averaging about 13 points per game. With Orlovsky (who is clearly better than Painter), they've surrendered 10. I'm not taking anything positive from this game, defensively, but I don't see it as a negative either.

Who says Orlovsky is good or even competent? He was horrible in Detroit and horrible here in Houston, at least according to all the reports from the local press. That said, I don't think he played a down while he was in Houston.

 

[Patspsycho]

The one positive thing we can take from this slopfest of a game is the fantastic performance McDonald has turned in as the 4th string center.
