The Official Patriots vs Colts Playoff game thread

It's basically pointless to assess a 15 yard penalty on a kickoff. Most kicks go for touchbacks anyway, so it's not even a punishment for acting like a complete *******.

Just noticed the ref sounds a little like Norm MacDonald

 

[DefenseRules]

Nice drive. Needed that.

Anyone stlll feel like complaining about the Patriots use of the run game? 4 Touchdowns and counting...

ugh. I probably shouldnt even bother but I'm gonna make the super obvious point that nowhere have I ever said that running the ball in goal line situations is bad. Good job tho

Ridleyeasily could have been stopped. Great effort.

I know, I hate that.

I know someone who does, but for some reason he's vewy vewy quiet...that's what play action does (Amendola WIDE OPEN because Landry bit). And keeping pounding leads to two plays getting into the end zone from 2 yards out. Loving it.

still way too much time left. cant the clock move any faster?

 

[English Patriot]

Just sort that fumble problem once and for all Riddler and watch your career at Foxborough flourish.

 

[Skree]

I'd be happy right now even if I wasn't drunk

Moving the kick off forward 15 yards is utterly pointless, it should be tacked onto the touchback Gost would have got from the 35 anyway and the Colts start at the 5.

They have set the narrative for Manning and Luck - let's see what Tom has to say about that.

Ok defense, nice stand last time but let's not bend at all this time.

 

[SVN]

most important defensive series for the pats. expect colts to start airing it out

Was just thinking that, would be great if it was enforced AFTER the return or touchback.

You're complaining for the sake of complaining. The run game is working. That's why the play-action pass worked. I like this game plan a lot. Control TOS and take away the chance for Luck to have drives. Thus far, it's worked. Let's hope it holds out.

They should have a rule in those cases that a touchback puts the ball at the 10.

 

[Crononaut]

The 1st down play action to Amendola was a great play call. That is how running the ball has payed off. Get them to bite on the run.

You WOULD like that play call!

 

[SunsOutGunsOut]

that colts d line is ready to break man .

 

[sb1]

4 rushing TDs in a playoff game - franchise record.
