Much more balanced preview of tonight's game.

 

"The Patriots will host their playoff opener tonight against the Colts in a terrific quarterback matchup between one of the all-time greats and one of the brightest stars of the next generation. Expect a fun game with two teams that show no quit, and the winner advances to the AFC Championship next Sunday. Here are five things to watch at Gillette Stadium."

Good luck today, Colts fans. It should be a great game. I for one certainly am not anticipating a blow out one way or the other; it should be a close thrilling game!

Just as an FYI: most Patriot fans no longer dislike (or loathe) the Colts anymore. That ended with Peyton and Polian leaving. There's more of a respectful attitude towards the Colts held by Patriot fans. Luck's a good kid.

I of course hope for a Patriots win, but respect this Colts team.

Wait till Luck beats you a few times.

Always with the sunshine form you, huh? A great, respectful post from VLT and you post this drivel.

It wasn't all that respectful......  It was a back-handed (or straightforward)  Dig at Peyton.   He never misses passing  on an opportunity to do that.

Dont worry not everyone is like that. I have a healthy respect for the Pats, doesnt mean I like them, but respect nonetheless.

Same here with me and the Colts. Although I do agree with Virludant that this team with Luck is very likeable and hard to hate. And I have always loved Reggie.

Obviously this is slightly biased, but Luck is a special kid and yeah I think it is hard not to like him. He is so humble and appreciates the game, it's not about him either it's about the team. He even gives defenders props when they sack him or tackle him down, how can you not like this guy? 

The power of the neck beard holds many secrets....

I thought it was interesting to see how Brady and Luck stats are similar in their first couple seasons as starters.

 

Both were 23-11 in their first 2 seasons as starters, including playoffs.

 

Personally, I have a bad feeling about this game in particular. But if we escape NE with a win, I expect us to beat the Broncos/Chargers and go to the SB.

You no longer hate the Colts because Luck's a good kid... so presumably Manning was not? Despite him being incredibly humble and respectful through his career...?

 

Patriot logic.

I agree. Whoever wins tonight will go to the SB.

You know what they say about assuming, right?

 

What they say about assumptions is incorrect and exists purely to support silly comments like the one I am quoting. Assumptions hold merit more often than not, and on this occasion appears entirely justified.

 

Go back to hating the Colts, because you can rest assured that the feeling is mutual.

To be honest, when we went into that 4th qtr. trailing 22-29, I had a glimmer of hope.

 

The 4th qtr., which had been our strength all year long, did not unfold the way we wanted.

 

Sometimes, I felt Urban Meyer would have called for more designed QB runs on those 3rd and shorts than our coaches did and hate to say it, it would have worked!!! :(

      2025 Mock Draft

      By tweezy32 · Posted

      I'm all for doubling down and going EDGE in the 1st again. Just got to make sure we get the right one. Depending on where we draft, I'm okay with trading up a couple of picks to snatch the better pass rusher of the bunch. Since there will be a good amount of rushers, I hear, let's go get the better one. I can also see the draft being the opposite as this years. Most teams will go defense now in this draft, and very good offensive players fall. I think we are perfect on offense, that's why I'm okay with trading up to get the guy we need on defense.

      IMHO , its all about perspective   If you treat Pierce as WR1, you will be disappointed   If you treat Pierce as a solid contributor, you will be pleased   - The man can block, maybe the best blocking WR on this team - The man has speed - The man can rotate in with our other WRs   I do believe that AD Mitchell will take over as a starting outside WR   The reality is, 17 games is a LONG season,    Pittman and AD Mitchell will be "fresher" for the end of the game as they are rotated in and out   The odds say that there will be injuries, and we could see Pierce be a starter on either side   I for one, WANT to keep Pierce thru his rookie deal (We will see after that)

      Zach Moss is no RB1.  If he showed signs he was the Bills wouldn’t have traded him for Hines who also is no RB1.  Moss is a RB 2.  A good one too.  Fortunately for him a season playing behind the Colts OL worked out favorably for him. Moss became available because we have an RB1 and the Bengals jumped at the chance to fill a hole in their lineup and Moss can do that like he did for the Colts when Taylor wasn’t available.  He is not a back teams have to worry about like they have to do for Taylor.  Every team needs an RB1.  He was the Bills RB1 for a short time and shipped off to the Colts for Hines.  And they drafted him.  He certainly belongs on a NFL roster.  I wish he stayed to back up Taylor.  But money and opportunity always talks as it should.  I worry about our RB position if something happens to Taylor for a long period.  I think we should be looking for a proven player who would be that true backup you can rely on behind Taylor.  Right now that backup position is a position that concerns me.   The other being starting FS.
