[Belichecks coaching staff laughing once again.]

In all the losses to this team, and they are piling up, there has been a common mistake that the Colts fall into every time. Throw, throw and throw again. The Patriots have to work to beat any of its division teams. Not only the familiarity of their opponents but they all run the ball right down their throat. Everytime the Colts play the Patriots, They know the Colts will abandon the run and resort to throwing the ball 80-90 % of the time. This is when the Patriots rush 2 and drop 8 into coverage with 1 to spy on Luck. The only difference being Manning never ran, allowing them to drop 9 into coverage. The Patriots are notorious for holding the recievers at the line of scrimmage and beyond. Colts put 5 players out into patterns to be covered by 8 defenders. No threat of a run, no back to check down to. Your dead. defense gets tired, you have less possesion and the Patriots march up and down the field like they do. I remember Edgerin James saying he never had a chance to get going in any of those Patriot games.

The reason for the title of this topic is I sat right behind the Patriot bench Sunday nite. I heard the coaching staff say " these guys will never learn how to play our defense", the answer was," Lets hope they never do!"

You lose to the Pats year after year because you have no defense. The Pats turned into the Colts and stopped winning championships but the learned from their mistake.

The Patriots are and have been cheaters for the last 15 years and will continue to be because Kraft's best buddy Roger won't do anything except slap them in the wrist again. More teams will start trying to do this because the potential reward far outweighs the possible punishment. Guys like scumbag Kraft and Bellichick don't care if they have to cheat or not, winning is winning.

My pappy said you only need an excuse when you lose. Seems like you need a bunch of them when playing the Pats.

Shouldn't the person who started this ridiculous investigation be held accountable? What next? sticky grass but only for opponents?

Kravitz said the deflated ball favored the running team. Another said the deflated ball helped Brady get a grip. HELLO?
