marino just said colts out playings the pats in 1st half...besides running the ball...we are outplaying them...no? :bricks:

Interesting first half... defense hot and cold, offense looking pretty good, special teams doing excellent. This game is still up in the air... need a score on this first second half drive.

Serious question, if we're in a playoff game and we needed a FG to tie or win with 2 seconds left, do you want Ghost kicking it or Adam?

Adam. We won 2 SB's on his leg

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Difference is Gost missed from 36 yds. Vinitraitor's was 58 yards

Doesn't matter, both are 1/2 today that's as far as I will look into these #'s

Is this a serious question? Adam V is the greatest clutch kicker in the history of the NFL. Ghost, in contrast, BB didn't even allow him to kick a 40+yarder in SB42.

Serious answer; we don't have that choice.

What are people's thoughts on Ridley? It seems like the last few weeks he has been getting stuffed alot, then breaking out a couple 20 yard runs towards the end to make it appear he had a great game statistically.

He's having a great year, just wondering.

When you get stuffed at the line, it's the o line's fault most of the time. Plays are designed to get them through the line. If the back can't make it to the line, they're either dancing back there or the line play has failed. Ridley's not dancing.

Assuming the back isn't slow (shouldn't be at this level) and he runs the right hole.

No brainer. You go with the GOAT not the goat.

Aside from the first two drives, the defense played well. As soon as they started to bring a little pressure, they started getting some stops.

Looking forward to a strong second half.

So glad jets picked sanchize instead of Freeman. Kid's really coming along for Tampa.

Dan marino just said the colts have "outplayed the patriots that first half"

im not sure how he sees that?

I LOL when I heard that. If anything i think the Pats have a small edge

 

[slash83]

Any word on Jones, did the injury look bad?

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Our brand new shutdown D has given up 3 points over the last 4 drives. Chicago who?

I said it was a stupid timeout, not stupid coach. Might be a good idea to learn how to read/comprehend something a 3rd grader could before calling someone clueless

How was it a stupid TO? Especially considering the number of LONG passes the Pats have given up and the number of PIs they've incurred in the endzone. Any flag against the defense gives the Colts another down. One in the endzone gives them a very good chance of getting 7.

Vinatieri's longest is a 57 yarder. His long kicks have a habit of hooking left. He's been that way since he was with the Pats. If anything, he saved the Pats 4 points by giving the Colts a second chance to consider the field goal.

Gost is currently #6 in career FG% among active kickers. Basically, those of you complaining about him don't know what the hell you're talking about.

I'm surprised you haven't heard of the unwritten rule about kickers Deus: they must make every FGA.

 

[shmessy]

You are taking 2 kicks as your example out of a total of 51 this season.

Seriously, take a 3rd grade math class.

I'll save you the time: 21/25>19/26.

One guy kicks in a dome. The other hasn't played one game in a dome yet this year.

Honestly, you are shaming Moe Sr.

Any word on Jones, did the injury look bad?

no....but it reminded me of hernandez...sprained ankle...xrays were negative..but i highly doubt he is back in this one. No need to rush him if he is truly hurt which he is

Gost is 14 of 16 in the playoffs
Vinatieri is 45 of 54 in the playoffs
