I didn't see an injury at time either.

But time-wise it served no purpose.

But who knows, these jets sure are stupid and that's putting it mildly.

Yeah I was gunna say. It wouldn't be a smart fake, but he was just kind of stretching. Idk not a game changer either way lol.

Game over.

Pats not impressive the first two weeks and the Jets D looks good.

 

Agreed with the first, disagree with the second. The Jets D wasn't great, Drops'em Dobson looked terrible. Brady was off all night. The only one who did anything was Edelman and the Jets couldn't even stop the one guy they had to.

 

Entertaining the thought that the Jets D IS good (and their O-line), that QB, coach, and WR core are taking them nowhere. Again. Also it usually helps to have a player back for punts. :thmup:

huh? Just the opposite- he was putting the ball where the WR was supposed to be and wasn't or where they were supposed to be but they dropped them.

 

I'll tell you one thing and echoing Wilfork's thoughts...a lot of close dogfight wins will bode well in the end. Often the 40 points teams aren't adapted when it gets to a playoff dogfight, past high scoring patriot teams included. Ditto Colts.

 

If you can learn and still win- that's a good thing.

He completed less than 50% of his passes and led his team to 13 points. Drops or not, for Brady that's a bad night. He's far from the only one to blame, though and certainly doesn't deserve the lion's share of it. The entire offense sans Edelman and pass protection was lacking.

 

The Jets had quite a lot of drops/3 and outs as well, and the Patriots just responded with the same. It was punter's paradise out there.

 

It's good to win any game, any time. The problem comes when you run in to teams that don't completely suck. The Patriots' first test will be week 4 - if they have Gronk back they'll be in decent shape. If THIS is what they field they'll be DOA against a halfway decent QB.

 

I'd be concerned (and am for Indy) any time my team barely survives one as bad as the Raiders, Jets, Bills, Cleveland, Jags or Titans. Oddly enough I might have to add PIT to that list this season if they don't come around. So many terrible teams and all in the AFC. They're all a mess.

 

The Bucs will be interesting, but ATL might get ugly.

Geno got sacked 4 times and hit 9. If that happened to Luck people would be freaking out.

 

I posted that early on because they were playing well, but Geno caused a lot of the pressure himself if you watch. He wasn't stepping up into the pocket and letting it develop around him. Any sign of pressure he'd sprint to eh outside. Buy yes by the end it seemed the Jets Oline was burnt.

What was brady spraying on his hand?

Is that legal?

 

my guess is it was some alcohol based material . . . perhaps acetone based . . . when one wants to dry something you can apply alcohol, which removes the water, then the alcohol evaporates and you are dry . . .

Doubt it. Serves no purpose for the jets to fake an injury here

 

if you are talking about the last injury before the punt, if it was a fake, it gave time for the Jets to formulate a game play for their final drive . . . they had no timeouts left and an additional two minutes or so before the punt would have been helpful . . .

 

also, we all know about some that got mad at Coach Caldwell's timeout in the playoff game against the jets indicating that it gave time for the jets to think of another play, well this is just the same thing . . .

Well yeah if you go by stats. I was just watching Brady's throws each play and it was a pretty normal night for him. Taking into account he's never known for 100% accuracy on long balls throughout his career. 

 

I don't put much stock in tests in the regular season- or terrible and elite teams.  football is still football.

Yeah, Brady looked like Brady. He had to hold the ball longer too because guys were not open or running the wrong route. He is the last guy I am worried about. lol.  The rest of guys need to get in sync. I think what is fortunate for the Pats that not many people have menioned is now they have 10 days off which is like a mini-bye week to work on things. They are one of the best teams at taking advantage of extra time to self evaluate and fix things.

 

There are no elite or terrible teams in week 2. The key is getting wins the first half of the season so you set yourself up for a playoff spot later. Last year the Pats started 1-2 so I am very happy to be in pole position already in the division and perhaps sole position of first place if the Colts beat the Fins this weekend which I expect them to do.

    • Thanks for this as yes, I sometimes don't adequately express my take I guess..Ha!! Happens. 🤷‍♂️ But you are correct. Cam to me as you stated was never a consistently good QB at the NFL level and that is why I was never a fan of his game. I guess it's all about how one views what an NFL QB should be or look like. I'm not a fan of Lamar either as I think he is somewhat in the mold of that type of QB. Great athlete who just happens to play QB. Outside of that Raven scheme, I'm not sold on the fact the Jackson could ever flourish. It's why over 90% of the time if Lamar is needed to bring the Ravens out of a deficit he can't do it. It's not his game, yet there are those who think Lamar is superior and he has achieved personal accomplishments. Ravens do consistently win though but it's an entire team deal as their defense is normally rock solid to compliment that run first style. We don't have that here in Indy
    • I already laid out the injuries.  You can say what you want but one was the coaches pulling him in the Rams game because they were down multiple scores with little time left, two of the others were a concussion and a shoulder injury that required surgery so that rules out toughness.  Then the Steelers game he tried to comeback and clearly wasn’t moving well and it’s reported he has injury that does cause players to miss time and there is a chance he plays Sunday which seems to be counter productive to people who want argue he’s not tough enough.  None of those involve him lacking toughness.  It’s a nonsense argument made up by fans who are tired of him being injured.     also Richardson has taken wicked hits and hopped right back up from them.  To the point people complain about the league not protecting him with roughing the passer calls.  If he had no pain tolerance he wouldn’t get up from the those hits.   yes he needs to be better at protecting himself.  Again that has nothing to do with toughness.   Also I am not comparing him to Luck if you read my post.   I am pointing out Irsay is acknowledging they are being cautious with Richardson and injuries because of what happened with Luck.  That’s not comparing the two players.
    • IMO the only reason to not play Richardson (when healthy) is if you've given up on him. Joe Flacco has a role on this team and that role is secondary or tertiary to the main goal of this team at this moment - namely developing AR and figuring out if he can be our franchise QB. The best way to do both of those is to play him and let him gain experience and playing time... And, ultimately to get enough snaps that you feel comfortable with whatever decision you come to about his long term prospects. And IMO the only reason to bench him is if you think you've gotten the answer to that primary question and it is negative.    Otherwise, we are doing the same thing we were doing the last 3 years before we drafted him and IMO that's the worst place to be as a franchise in regards with your QB... Where you not only don't have a franchise QB but you don't even have the hope of having one on the roster.   I can't believe this conversation is even being had. If he can play... He has to play.
    • The kid chose not to slide to protect himself and was in a really awkward position when he did get a good NFL wallop. It’s absolutely brainless to do that after getting knocked out of games and the season.   Maybe he needs to sit on the bench for another season. Let him play  play play, what, for another game or two until the next stupid injury?  He still has a lot to learn and it looks like to me we are rushing an inexperienced kid into something he isn't quite prepared for.   AR seems humble, maybe a bit more humility regarding a possible Superman complex would serve him and the Colts very well long term.  What AR IS in years 4 and beyond is what Wise Colts fans should be concerned about. And yes, like me, many here are getting old enough we Want It Now! It's an unreasonable expectation for a kid that can't throw an out that isn't a mile high, and hasn't the sense of when and how to protect himself. 
    • I don’t listen to games anymore because I don’t work on Sundays anymore. But man sometimes listening to the game is better than watching it. Kinda miss Matt Taylor getting all pumped..  I-N-D-Y lol
