Hey now, Tebow didn't lose them this game....two costly fumbles did them in. He played ok, but Brady carved that D up...which surprised me b/c their D had been playing so well. The highlight for me was Elvis Dumervill (sp?) just destroying Brady on a sack....ouch...and it was textbook. No head to head, squared him up and literally picked him up and slammed him!

I wouldn't say derailed. Not really his fault. Just a bunch of fumbles and the defense couldn't make stops.

But if he got all the credit when they were winning... and a lot of that was due to defense and special teams... why would he get a pass if they lose? He fumbled, he made some really bad decisions, and was as much a part of them losing as anyone, IMO.

Speaking of defense....:)

Now I've always known teams feel each other out the first couple of series and it does seem our defense gives up the most yards early on.

Well I don't know if you caught Vince Wilfork's post game but he asnwered it perfectly to reporters 3 different ways.

They didn't know what to expect from Denver. They knew Tebow had gotten better. So they studied and practiced several formation adjustments. He said they looked at what they were doing the 1st quarter and with no confusion on the sidelines because they were prepared with alternate plans, quickly intalled the right adjustment...and THEN ATTACKED with it.

Which is exactly what they did right through the 4th qtr.

Last in defense my foot!!! :)

Well, I guess I just wish they would adjust faster, that's all.

The first two Denver drives were painful to watch. Just painful. To an extent the Patriots can afford to play it out that way and get down by a score or two, but eventually they're going to run into a team that adjusts to their adjustments and maintains that momentum for longer than a quarter.

I'm still completely unsold on this defense.

Yeah..Vince said Denver offense had no adjustment for their defense adjustment so they just continued to stick it to them. Natually he's pretty upbeat about his defense, especially finishing out 4th qtrs.

But yeah..can be unconfident to watch to say the least:)

It was as close to a "perfect weekend," as far as other results around the league go, for the Patriots, huh?

I don't know if they go on a run or not, but either way I'd rather see them snag the top seed and play at home for as long as they can.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By krunk · Posted

      Man I feel real strong about Brian Thomas jr. I think it's on and cracking if we get him. His game is just consistent and he is such a hard cover. I like him being paired with Pittman. I really do!

      This is probably the most exciting nonplaying event of the year and it’s tomorrow. I just hope that Balllard  and the scouting department I’ve done their job thoroughly

      2024 NFL Draft Thread (Final Discussions, Predictions, Rumors, etc…)

      By VikingsFanInChennai · Posted

      @2006Coltsbestever @NFLfan   Kirk has been treated much better and with much more respect than Wentz was treated in Indy. And was showed with Love and truckloads of money in Minnesota, and was defended constantly with much more ferocity by Vikings fans than people defending Ballard in Grievances thread.    it'd be crazy to think of injustice against Kirk for a few minority who criticize his play.    We're Going back and forth on Kirk debate which will go on for eternity, but I struck Gold when I saw recently @Superman explaining how he felt watching Wentz playing with other teams before he got to Indy and how it felt watching him play for Colts when you're emotionally invested with the franchise.    There's no other way to perfectly describe Kirk Cousins' career and his QB play.   For every fan around the NFL, especially for fantasy football fans, Kirk will be a hero and am above average QB. But, when you're emotionally invested in your favourite franchise and Kirk plays QB for your team, you would come close to understanding how excruciatingly frustrating his play and smartness and game awareness are (or shortage of them are), that all contributes to team missing playoffs many years and even when they qualify, no one sees Kirk as a threat in playoffs. Ever. Your team would be paying Elite QB Money for that, and you'd be constantly in debate with criticizers Vs defenders. Until he plays for your team, you won't realize that, and I totally understand.    Anyway, happy to pass on that frustration over to Falcons fans, they'd know soon. First of all, Kirk takes at least a season or two to trust his OL, even if you put an elite line and weapons around him, and it's all in his head. I'm going to sit back and read Falcons forums for Fun in 2024 Season! Good Times!

      Update: Jim Irsay speaks publicly (merged)

      By CoachLite · Posted

      There are no owners in the NFL that are perfect people. Some owner's demons are more public, some not so much, but they all have them. There's much more to the free agency issue and the Colts than most are aware of. There are a lot of intangibles most will never consider. That said, there is more to almost every aspect of any organization that most will ever be aware of. Those are often the things that matter most.
