We need to mix up our defense and give tom brady different looks.  Show blitz and break out and cover.  We need make it hard as possible and tom brady.  And we really need to stop their running game in order to win.  We can't play like we did against the chiefs or else brady will pick us apart.  Cmon Colts I believe! Watch film on the game they played against the bengals.

This is going to be a tough game. I don't see NE folding. I think the Colts can win this game but we got to play better defense than wwe did against the Chiefs in the 1st playoff game. we need to play the type of d we did the last 3 weeks of the regular season where we didn't give a lot of pts up. Offense hads to do better clean up their mistakes. Special teams needs to kepp playing at teh high level they have been playing and we can win.

If your friend is any good, tell him I it's warmer in the dome!

I think we match up pretty well against them. Brady is awesome and has seen everything. It's going to be a great game.

 

 

Im gonna ask him for the gameplan. lol. Hes a rookie though and got cut by the Dolphins. He came back to California and then the Patriots called him the next day...

 

He protected Colin Kaepernick in college in Nevada. Should be a good matchup!

How many times are these guys going to stand in our way? Is it just fate that keeps putting us in each others way? Dang, it's so satisfying to beat BB though. I say, bring them on! We'll exploit their defensive weaknesses, even though BB is great at disguising them. We'll beat up their generic wideouts enough to take a step of their quickness away. What do y'all see happening in the matchups? Where are our strengths and weaknesses?

Having a friend as a backup center for the Patriots, im going to still have to cheer for my team. Although he can get me tickets but too cold over there.

 

Im all out of ideas of how to beat them. What do you think is the plan?

anybody got any ideas as to what the weather forecast in Foxborough is supposed to be for our game time and game date?  We really need for the heavens to close up Winter shop for a weekend.  Luck needs ideal conditions.  There is only one Tom Brady who can play in that Winter crap.

The weather forecast calls for a slight warm up, Bengals game like conditions with temps around 43 degrees with 30% chance of precipitation. But take that with a grain of salt for now.

I will always choose the Colts, but nobody should assume anything vs Tom and Hoody.

 

You know they will take TY away by double teaming him out of doing anything, Spy Luck so he can't run,  and expect Rogers, Brazil, Fleener and our 'run game' to keep up in a track and field race.

Beilichick is great at eliminating the best weapon on the opposing team. That's going to be TY. I hope Whalen, Rogers, and Brazill are ready to step up.

 

Hmmm...I thought our best weapon was Andrew Luck :). Belichick could game plan vs Tebow better by keeping him in the pocket but unlike Tebow, Luck can throw. :)

Well unless my brain is even more damaged than usual, I don't think that they've met in the playoffs in seven years, haven't lost to them in the playoffs in nine. The Chargers would be a far fresher wound, and they are still out there. Saints too.

 

Gulp.

Once Belichick double teams TY, I think we will immediately have an advantage since the Patriots' D strength hinges a lot on Talib taking the #1 guy one-on-one.

 

Plus, Luck is a young gun. By conceding the run to Luck, Belichick is not going to be able to freeze Luck's arm, LOL :).

The New England defense is so much better then what you think.  A fully healthy Aqib Talib and Devin McCourty who are both on the all-pro team his season will be the difference, and also CB Logan Ryans with 5 picks and Alfonzo Dennard form one of the best secondaries in football under the direction of Bill Belichick. I think up front with great pass rushers Chandler Jones (12 sacks) and Rob Ninkovich (8 sacks) who make for 4th in the NFL in sacks will play with the back end to make it hard for Andrew Luck finding receivers open.  You know they will take our TY Hilton, so somebody else had better step up or its a long night.  Should be an outstanding football game.

Lol, I meant the best receiving option. They're going to be on TY all night. I have great faith in Andrew, but this game is not going to be easy.

Mobile quarterbacks have given us fits all season, but we've generally done better against the pocket passers.  Thus, that factor should slightly push the gauge in our favor.

 

San Diego ran an offense similar to New England's vs us and they picked us apart. They dinked and dunked and ran rub routes for 8-15 yards repeatedly.

You can't take out TY. You can only hope to contain him.

That was an off game for us, yet the Bolts still only scored 19 points.  I see your point though.

Nah, Belichek will over commit if he has to stop TY and the game is up to Rogers, Fleener and Brazill. They will all have single coverage and opportunities to have monster games if they beat their man.

You will see a ton of zone from the Pats with one safety deep. Little man I think. That is what they did to the Ravens and completely shut their O down.

Colts all the way! Hilton is a legit #1. Brazill, Rogers, Fleener, and Whalen are also doing a nice job of taking pressure off of Hilton, and our defense can play well when they are on their game, see the 2nd half for proof

and brown & richardson  catching passes out the back field..and brown should be able to run on their D since vince wilfork is out

    • I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him. 
    • Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.   
    • For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.
    • 3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team. 
    • Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.
