Will Luck fare better 2nd time around vs. Pats?

[LordHelpOurColts]

Or will he pick six it...twice like in their first meeting?

Well this will be their 3rd meeting and in the 2nd meeting luck didn't fair much better then he did the 1st time. With the Game being indy this time and a better defense and run game for the Colts hopefully the out come will be different.

We're 0-2 vs

This is the 3rd meeting

And we'll see how he fairs now with healthy and better weapons

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

Probably not.

[Moopsiepuffs]

I don't know if it's been mentioned yet because I don't have enough time to read the whole thread, but this will in fact be Luck's third time facing the New England Patriots.

This time its in indoors..in Indiana..

WE may lose but it will NOT be because Luck didn't light up the pats

[southwest1]

Every game is it's own entity & I don't put much stock in previous encounters with a familiar foe. Just be aggressive & never let up.

 

It's 1 of the reasons I respect NE as an adversary: They know when to symbolically step on an opponent's throat & slam the door shut. Luck knows what he must fix & he will do just that. 

 

Can we just kick off already? "Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll!" 

[lennymoore24]

My thoughts are this.  We got the game within reach in the playoffs last year against them.  And that was in NE, with a depleted Colts team.  Sure, Gronk is back.  But we have also gotten much better and this is in Indy.  So I think the Colts win this time if they run the ball effectively and don't throw into Bellicheats hands.

[Coltsman1788]

Who knows? We will find out tomorrow night.

[Malakai432]

Perhaps, as long as he doesn't play like he has in Foxboro.

[BlueCollarColts]

3rd meeting, and you know what they say! Third time's a charm!

[Happy2BeHere]

I have all the confidence in the world that the COLTS get this game. Especially because when I played it on my PS4 the other day I lost this game...which means absolutely nothing so then it really should mean something right?

The running game is HUGE! and people dont understand that. Luck didnt have a running game the first 2 meetings. The biggest mistake teams make against the Patriots is rushing to score. Theyve gotta keep him off the field as much as possible since its what gets him out of tune.

My bad dawg...I forgot about the playoffs.

the biggest issue is forcing throws down the field instead of taking what they give you.The pats feed off of turnovers.

[sweetsurrender]

He could not play any worse than the first two games. I think this game will be better.

[MJD42]

Not against this Pats secondary in my view. This will be his toughest game yet to pass the ball and not turn it over.

[krunk]

I think we'll be fine as long as we don't get one dimensional to the point where we are chucking the ball up 45 to 50 times.

The Patriots are not the best in the world against the run.  I think we should make very respectable attempts at running

the football to keep things balanced out.  I'm very sure we can beat this team as long as we are not turning the ball over.

[ricker182]

Big difference not having to play in Foxborough.

[sfergson727]

I'll be watching the first drive closely.  We need to set the tone early in this game, if we go three and out, well...that won't cut the mustard tonight.

[chrisfarley]

In a lot of ways, you could look at it as Billichik vs. Luck.  Because Billichik will make in-game adjustments through his coordinator and Luck has a few of those "what in the heck was he thinking" plays each game, it generally spells doom for Luck.  Look, Billichik is a genius, there's no two ways to slice it up.  It could be a very rough day for Luck as much as I'm crossing my fingers for a different result.

[Fx Stryker]

We're 0-2 vs

This is the 3rd meeting

Technically we're 28-45

[basketballsteve]

I think he'll go beast mode and if he does throw a pick it won't be a game decider........
