If you are talking about Freeman, I hope not. The D played better without him.

 

I was joking about that. I was talking about Luck. But I do agree with you. I hope Irving or Moore gets the start too. Our D is better with one of those two next to DQ. And honestly I may go with Sio today because of his coverage skills. Irving is a beast, but more of a 2 down run stopper.

I guess I wonder how much due diligence will the Pats do? Will they just line up and try to run thru the Colts again since it's worked so well? (frankly I hope so). Or will BB do his thing, make a fresh game plan and out coach our staff again? I would love to see what would happen if we moved Andrew all around (Len Dawson style) and made the Pats have to find and chase him.

I see the Pats just pulled up Cameron Fleming from the practice squad so I'm assuming they will stick with the same program unless we stuff it. If we stuff it I'm sure they will start passing.

LOL. Come on man...You know who. I'm clearly talking about Jerrell Freeman.

Ok mr. sarcasm. If you did one google search you would realize that 3 different sources said Luck was playing and it is already obvious after we didn't sign a quarterback this weekend.

Ok, being a die heart Colts Fan, I hate to see lose to New England for the 200th time.  With that being said, Is it just me, or does New England bets us everytime one dimensional. Slants over the middle, run after the catch. Then they run the ball...I have seen this over and over again..How do we stop the slants over the middle...It kills us everytime...

I hope my mood for this weekend and today is a good sign. Last time I felt this relaxed/happy before a big game we were underdogs in and even managed to take a nap before hand (like I did earlier) was before the Ravens divisional in early 2007.

Well I'm wound up like an 8 day clock..... after watching that Broncos/Browns game.   haha

 

But yeah, I feel good about tonight's game too.

It opened at what, 7.5?

The fact that it's so high shows that most people are heavily betting on the Patriots.

Odds simply follow the money.

sorry, i thought it was around 9.5 to 10.5 ------ i must have heard that on Mike and Mike or another radio show that was unreliable early in the week.

Hopefully we kill those slants with our safeties coming down and laying the wood across the middle. If they want to test the middle of our defense we need to make them pay for it. We can't allow easy completions across the middle or they will dink and dunk us all game long. Plus certain slants across the middle are result of pick plays. It is becoming a common staple in the league and they are very hard to defend playing man coverage. We can't stop everything, but we need to limit them the best we can.

According to the betting site I pulled up , the game opened at 6.5 and quickly went to 10. Thats a huge move . Really didn't move much when it was likely that Luck played. Mostly 9 to 9.5 and has stayed right there.

    • Fun fact: Smith took Mike Tyson the distance, only 1 of 2 fighters to do that when Mike was Champ from 1986-1989. Tony Tucker was the other.
    • I have seen a few clips of Creed 2 on Youtube but never have watched the whole movie. I seen where Drago is in it. I thought Creed 1 was kind of average but I grew up with the Rocky movies with Rocky fighting. As far as the fights between Rocky and Clubber being short, that was fine because there were 2 of them. The way I would rank the Rocky movies would be: 1. Rocky 3 - had more action than any of them and the Creed twist was shocking. Back then there was no internet or teasers, so nobody had no idea that Creed would train Rocky. Mr T was by far the baddest villain of them all. He made people want to hate him. Hulk Hogan was even it who Rocky fought for charity  . Mick even passed away, it all kinds of twists and turns.   2. Rocky 1 - the 1st one because of the storyline. He also went the distance with GOAT = Apollo, nobody ever done that.   3. Rocky 2 - had the best fight, so I can see how that would be #1 in many eyes. That was my mom's favorite because of Adrian coming out of the coma and telling Rocky to win and the fight was the best of the whole series.   4. Rocky 4 - This one was good but not great. They could have made this much better to where it could of been the best of the series. It was kind of unrealistic because no way in real life would Apollo get killed in 2 rounds. The fight between Apollo and Drago should have at least gone 7 or 8 rounds and just show Apollo taking a beating. 2 Rounds = no way. #2, they made Drago out to be like a superhero, Rocky already beat Clubber who was just as strong, so I didn't care for the storyline. The training scenes by Rocky and Drago and the music is what saved that one from being average.
    • I hope we keep Toppin, I didn't think we would. Paul George went to Philly for 4 years/212 Mill, so now we have them to deal with as well besides Boston, NY, and Milwaukee. I thought we were better than Philly before the George deal, not sure now. 
    • Thank you for your response and thank you for enlightening myself regarding Partridge. I recall his signing but didn't know much about him until I joined this forum and read several of your posts speaking highly of him. Thank you!  I have researched him since then and have to agree with you, it is likely that his fingerprints were on this signing.    Davis' contract is such that there is no guaranteed money in his 2nd year, with a cap savings of nearly 6.5 million, so there is an out if needed. https://overthecap.com/player/raekwon-davis/8796    I have to think that his main responsibility is as Grover's back up...we all saw how much he was missed last season. Though, this is where Partridge comes in, there may be additional duties. One thing that struck me was when Partridge said (paraphrased) "that he could get Grover some more sacks.". Does that mean he plans to alter the DL scheme, and if so, could the same benefit apply to Davis? Not to mention @Douzer's thoughts of using both Davis and Grover on 3rd and short plus goal line situations...like you said, I am looking forward to watching it play out as well.
    • I'm not saying he is about to be a sack machine but you can see some of his potential as a one gap penetrator with that frame.
