Somebody Give Me A Reason - Any Reason - The Colts Aren't Gonna Be Taken To The Woodshed Sunday!

[mightisright]

Help me out here, folks. I'm SOOOOO dreading this game. I'm gonna make myself watch it. But do we have ANY hope of even staying in this game? Can we run the ball on this Pats defense? Can we get any kind of pressure on Brady?

Should I just start drinking early and hope I pass out before it gets too far in?

(have preschoolers to take care of so that's not even an option)

different qb, and new defensive system

[wirymo]

If we can pressure Brady enough and keep our offense on the field for a good chunk of the game, then anything is possible.

[Zachris]

Teams have shown that the Pats and Brady are week if you rush him up the middle. We have two of the best ever, listen to Belicheck in this meeting. I like what he actually said.

BECAUSE WE'RE PUTTING THE MADDEN CURSE ON TOM BRADY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nancy]

You know Bill is going to run the score up as much as he can. Let's just hope the Colts can get out of there w/o any injuries! Go Colts~!

[manningstheman]

No hope. Nothing they can do to win. Might as well suit up the towel boys and practice squad players to play the Pats.

[nitecrawler]

Because the Colts have been taken to the woodshed so often that the woodshed has worn down..there is no more woodshed....it's been condemned .

[Blue Horseshoe]

In other words it is going to be even worse than before. ;)

[super8todd]

Pats 34, Colts 10. And thats being generous, because Belichick backs off in the 4th. There is no way the colts win, unless Brady gets injured.

[justnhlsmok]

Any given Sunday...

Like previous posters have said, the Pat's are soft in the middle of the O-line. If Anderson/Moala can get some or any kind of penetration, Frathis will be subject to a few single coverages. They have an average secondary, so I can see us putting up maybe 220+ yds in the air.

Offensively, I'm just hoping we can put up 17+ with the Big O under center. .

My heart says Colts 21 Pats 17

My gut says it will be over by the beginning/middle of the 3rd quarter.

Let's hope my heart is right.

Even with Brady injured, I think Brian Hoyer would still beat us.

[wercolts]

Oddly enough rushing the passer and running the ball are the two of the three things this team is at least a little able to do. Now if they had McAfee play offense, defense and special teams the Pats wouldn't stand a chance.

[mightisright]

yeah, not really feeling much better about this but thanks for trying people!

Maybe we'll at least be able to get off the field with some dignity intact.....

[turner46992]

I honestly think the game will be closer than we think....this will either be tough fought and come down to the wire...or this will be a re-up of NO game

Hire a sitter and buy a bottle of whiskey.

There is always a chance of a satelite falling down from space n crashinf into ne stadium which causes the game on sunday to be postponed and we survive that sunday.

Freeny will sack brady and break his arm, then Mathis will sack the backup and break his arm, and then we win. It's the only way.

Colts could win... you never know.. will they win? highly doubtful.. i think the colts will make this a competitive game after the defensive coach being fired im sure come coaches and players are feeling the fire now so they might try a few things.

I heard that the colts were thinking of starting lacey, if that is the case then never mind what i said.

[mightisright]

My advice:

Hire a sitter and buy a bottle of whiskey.

Seriously considered it! But with Gin instead of whiskey.......

[Andy]

Well... new DC and a new QB, oh and the saying any given sunday!

That's what's made this weeks events confusing and disturbing to me. I thought that the defense had looked much better the past four games, which coincides with Thomas being made a starter. To fire the DC and make Lacey the starter as a reward has me scratching my head. It would have made more sense to fire the OC because they haven't been able to adapt to the new QBs - but I understood that that would be destructive in the long term assuming Peyton comes back, so I wasn't expecting anybody to be fired.

If they just wanted to fire somebody as a wake up call there were other options out there. I'm curious to see what this Sunday will bring - but I'm hoping that it isn't Lacey.

[Dtman513]

I'll be at the game tomorrow....Look for the only Colts fan in the end zone

[GwinnettColt]

I'm seeing a score similar to the New Orleans game. Hopefully, I'm wrong. Not that we haven't been talking about this all season but it's those issues that they should have dealt with long ago. O Line. Run game. Defense. Competent backup for Manning. Manning's shoulders must be exhausted for carrying them for so long.

[MAC]

My advice:

Hire a sitter and buy a bottle of whiskey.

He can probably invent a suitable drinking game involving Patriots TDs, or Welker catches or something. May not make it out of the first quarter.

[Hoosier Colts Fan]

Because the Pats are being way too arrogant again and what better way to cure their arrogance than to be beaten by their pathetically-sorry-this-year arch rival the Colts. Stranger things have happened and I'm hoping for our Christmas miracle. GO COLTS.

Pride bro.............. simple....

This team has NADDDA.

BECAUSE WE'RE PUTTING THE MADDEN CURSE ON TOM BRADY!!!!!!!!!!!!

That reminds me... I made a Madden 09 cover for Brady. He ended up getting knocked out the entire following season. Usually, I'd shrug that off as a coincidence, but the guy who injured him (Bernard Pollard) was born and raised in Fort Wayne, IN. That's where I live. Now if that's not creepy, I don't know what is.

I learned a long time ago if it is being wagered on anything is possible. I do not think Colts will win but they could cover point spread.

I've got nothing might-right. Keep a good sense of humor because you will need it to get through this one.

Ok...how about yeah they got Tom Brady but we got Danny "the Big Ooooooooooooooooooo" Orlovsky! Feel better? :mellow: Yeah...didn't work for me either.

Could you imagine the look on Belichek and Brady's face if we pulled out a WIN. rotfl That would certainly be PRICELESS and the best Christmas present the whole Colt's nation could ask for. GO COLTS

As they say on any given Sunday anything can happen.

I think even more priceless than the time the ref told Belicheck to pick up the flag he'd thrown down. Anybody remember that? I can't remember the context off hand but I thought it was the funniest thing ever. He was SO ticked....

Isn't that the same game where he rushed out afterwards and ignored Dungy and everybody else because he lost?
