What a freaking game by that guy.

On a side note, the field conditions in Gillete were embarrassing. Do they not believe in drainage at all in Foxboro?

It was pouring buckets all day here. No drainage would have helped but maybe Brady's moat. lol.

 

Love Blount. Can't believe the Pats got him for a 7th round pick and a track guy in Demps.

It was ok until the end of the game. Puddles everywhere. Only so many places for it to go with everyone crowded on the field.

 

Just miserable conditions. Glad Pats had the stout run game which they will need for the post-season.

Game was a bit too close at times for my liking. I did NOT want to be the third seed and get San Diego hell week in the WC round.

Gillette has state of the art drainage. But like you say- it was torrential. I was there. Had to leave at half- just didn't have the right clothes.

I at least knew you all would be fighting hard knowing the bye week was on the line. So that gave me confidence.

 

The only time I would even want to play SD is if it was as far into the playoffs as possible, like the title game or something.

 

Still haunted by a few one and dones by them and if you all had lost I would have....... :tvhammer:   :cuss:  :censored:

You were there? I kept saying to my kids how bad I felt for the people who were there in the stands. They all looked so miserable despite the awesome game. Glad you left at halftime. What a game by Blount. Just what the Pats needed headed into the post-season. More bad weather is surely on the way.

If conditions in Foxboro were anything similar to where I live (about 50 miles northwest of there), you run into the problem of having a lot of ice and snow impacting drainage. We had over a foot in December and a lot of freezing and thawing. Snow and ice make great "dams" because they do not absorb any runoff. 

 

I'd have a hard time believing that they built a stadium just 11 years ago without adequate drainage systems. 

 

 

I picked this guy up on a whim because of Ben Tate's injury and he probably just won me my championship.

 

Your championship is in Week 17? 

 

Congrats but you gotta get your league to change that!

haha yeah im going to have to petition Andy to change that. Juilus and Demaryius Thomas resting the 2nd half almost cost me a win.

Blount went beast mode. He is a perfect change of pace back for that system...kinda like what the Giants had with Bradshaw and Jacobs a couple years ago. He is going to punish people in the playoffs because they like to play nickel against the Pats with smaller LBs to cover those backs out of the backfield....then in comes Blount...and BAM!! Thats one dangerous team...and Belichek makes that defense go...it isn't elite like it was at the beginning of the season but will slow all these playoff teams down enough to give Brady a crack at another ring.

Worth noting (just heard on the radio) that between them, Ridley and Blount had over 1500 yards this season. They make a pretty good duo when Ridley holds onto the ball. 

 

Obviously the Patriots ran a lot due to conditions yesterday, but they did the same thing against Baltimore. I think you're going to see a lot of that in the playoffs.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By CR91 · Posted

      Look im not gonna say Ballard haven't had his own issues, but the guy has been put in an impossible position particularly every year.   2017 - He has a lame duck for a head coach when we all knew was gonna get fired and was drafting for his scheme so I'll give him a pass.   2018 - Arguably his best draft getting two All-pros and a stalwart at RT. He gets to sign his choice of a head coach and is left at the alter at the 11th hour which in hindsight was a blessing in disguise. Drafted Tyquan Lewis, Hines, and Franklin who all have or had great years here. Andrew Luck was back and playing like an MVP.   2019 - Horrible draft. No excuses. It was his worst draft as a GM, but he did find a gem in Speed. Luck retiring a week before the season starts would put any GM in a tough spot so once again I'll give him a pass.   2020 - His second best draft getting Pittman, Taylor, and Blackmon. Signed Rivers and traded for Buckner and won 11 games. Unfortunately lost to the Bills in the playoffs.   2021 - I honestly can't tell for certain what happened in terms of QB. Ive heard Rivers was supposed to re-sign, but choice to retire. I've heard he was pushed to retirement as the colts wanted to go in a different direction which was apparently Stafford before the Rams came in last second. I heard Reich pushed hard for Wentz saying he can fix him against the wishes of Ballard. If you ask me, I think Stafford was plan A as Stafford himself said him and his wife were so convinced he was going to Indy that they started looking at homes. When that fell through, imo Reich lobbied for Wentz. Whatever it was, Wentz was the guy and the QB carousal was supposedly stopped at least we thought. A god-like season for Taylor was not enough to save Wentz from ultimately being traded and you can chalk that one on whomever Reich or Ballard depending on what story you want to believe. In terms of the draft, Paye and Dayo have been reliable players on the dline, Granson you can make an argument is our best TE, and Fries came into his own last year.   2022 - Just an overall disaster of a season. Went the bandage route again at QB trading for Matt Ryan and you can say the colts did him no favors in terms of oline protection and JT getting hurt, but that was a failed trade for a miserable season. 2022 draft is still under elevation, but Pierce and Woods did show potential as rookies and Raimann looks to be the LT of the future.   2023 - Ballard finally gets to draft a QB to tether him to and Richardson plays a grand total of 12 quarters. It just seems like Ballard can not catch a break when it comes to QBs, but from I've seen from Richardson, I have very high expectations.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By John Hammonds · Posted

      Hi Colts fans,   Yeah, I know, I know.  I was just as surprised as you were.  No clue why my good friend Jim Irsay would call me up and offer me the head coaching job.  I had to remind him.  Dude, I said, you do know that I've never coached at all at the NFL level.  Not coordinator.  Not even position coach.  Nothing.  It didn't seem to matter.  It was as if all that was required was for me to be good friends with the owner, and -- bazinga! -- I could be a head coach.   It was awkward, you know.  That first coaches meeting.  There was Gus Bradley.  And there was John Fox.  Both of them had been head coaches.  Heck, both of them had coached in a Super Bowl!  Yet here I was, promoted to be their boss, having never coached before.  Ever.   But, you know, Bud Grant did it.  So, why not?  Remember, I have a way of doing things.   Ok, sorry, I couldn't help but giggle.  I have a way of doing... what, exactly?  Things?  Things like coaching?  I have a way of coaching?  And how did I develop that way?  By actually, you know, coaching?   Anyway, I'm glad you have a new head coach.  One who has actually coached before.  And his experience doing that is bearing fruit.  I'm just glad I'm already in the Ring of Honor.  Because after what happened, I doubt that I would ever be accepted in by the fans, regardless of how I was as a player.  Heck, they would have put Andrew Luck in before they would even consider me.   In the meantime, I'm back at ESPN, attempting to "un-burn" bridges.  It can happen.  I heard Bud Grant did that once....   Regards, Jeff Saturday

      We certainly have options as both DB draftees started at FS as well as CB in college. Perhaps Thomas ‘could’ revert back to CB as well?

      Here's to hoping Colts hit the jackpot and everyone looks back saying wow he was definitely the best wr in that draft...
