Might as well have them come at us with all their strength at this point. 

[IinD]

Did you expect anything less?? Lol.

 

Beat down day is upon us.

 

Hopefully we get a competitive game at this point.

[Ratking]

Gronkowski and Edelman look to be a handful tonight. 

[Stephen]

Wont matter. We have to come to play. If we don't we already know what will happen but if we do we have no idea how it will play out

[Yoshinator]

Gronk playing just makes a bad situation worse. I could see us losing by double digits now. Injuries always kill us for some reason, and now it has to be on a Thursday night game Vs the Pats. This is going to be a brutal Thursday night game. 

[coltsfan77]

If playing on primetime isn't enough! Hoping for the best but rarely have the colts shown up when the whole nation is watching.  Now the pats look closer to full strength as we have lost key contributors. Can't watch tonight anyway, have to work. May be a good thing, lol.

[dodsworth]

This game won't be worth watching with our list of injured.

[coltsfeva]

  Call it stupidity, stubbornness or just being a fan: I refuse to admit defeat before a game is played.

    The Colts can get to Brady. Luck showed last week that he can utilize Pascal, Grant, etc to move the offense and maybe having Castonzo and Turbin will help the run game.

    I think Reich can exploit the Pats defense.

    I know the narrative by National writers (and most fans here), is there is no way the Colts come out of Foxboro with a W. But the players and coaches don’t think that.

   It’s going to take all players stepping up but I could see an upset tonight.

It's going to get out of hand quickly and Kraft and Co. will definitely try to run the score up.  

  

It would take a miracle for the Colts to win this one IMO.   

 

 

It would be "unfortunate" if one of their star players got hurt again trying to run the score up. 

[pgt_rob]

Sweet!

[krunk]

Who cares if he plays or not? Lot of Wimps on this board this week.

[Devildog]

I say the Colts win. There, I said it.

This is incorrect.  Here's to hoping for a Colts W and having belief in our team!  Go Colts!

Yeah I'm not really a doom and gloomer, but that's one thing I'm concerned about, them trying to stick it to us so to speak and humiliate us on primetime.

 

Rooting for a win as always, but it'll be tough if we don't have anyone available tonight.

[Gramz]

Great! A victory against their best....all the better.  . Let's hope for the best!

 

Seriously, if y'all are gonna lay down and surrender before it even starts, why bother.

 

I continue to say I still have faith in our team.  Go Colts!

[John Waylon]

I’m actually a bit surprised. I figured with his history they would exercise a little extra caution this week with him.

We're not playing. I doubt the team is going to lay down.  

  

This one doesn't look good.    

  

But you never know for sure. 

 

 

[Barry Sears]

Bring it on!  We beat them with their best on the field and it will be sweeter...they won't have any excuses.  GO COLTS!!!

[csmopar]

Well, if you wanna be the best, you gotta beat the best at their best.  Lets do this!

[Dark Superman]

DeAndre Hopkins looked pretty good for a guy with an injured ankle. I'm sure Gronk will come out and have a career game tonight.

Don't worry about that happening when the Colts clearly love to beat themselves. Lol

I agree. I never root for someone to get injured... But if Geathers lights up Gronkowski and he tweaks his ankle injury, I won't be sad.

[B~Town]

Our D line plays right to NE weakness with all the stunting and pressure up the middle not that I expect a Colts win but would not be shocked if we force a few mistakes and take a W . 

[CaptainColt12]

Who's up for going 1-15 and getting Ed Oliver

[a06cc]

Just keep tackling him by his ankle and re-injure that sucker lmao. Seriously though I think we’ll be fine tonight regardless of who is playing. The team seems fired up this week!

Yup, always got a chance. Let’s just hope the players don’t think the same way as some on here, got to believe. Hopefully we are all reading about a Pats crisis tomorrow.

If I'm Frank Reich, I'm printing this and all the other people counting us as a blow out win for the Pats off, posting this on EVERY locker in that room. and challenging the players to prove them wrong.

Everywhere you look, it’s a blow out, I’m actually starting to love it. The pats could go in to this believing that this is going to be a walk in the park. These Colts players will have seen this and if they aren’t up for it, then they aren’t fit to be wearing the best jersey in the NFL. As long as these guys fight for this, then that will do me, onwards and upwards.

[chad72]

It is still 11-on-11 at any point in time. Just line up and play and see what happens. 

[richard pallo]

I wouldn't want it any other way.

I'd love to see the Colts win this game as much as anyone here, but it's not a "wimp" issue, it's far more a common sense issue, in so far as the predictions go. 

Here's the unknown possibility.  Maybe the Pats looks/play mediocre, that would changes things. 

 

The Pats are going to score in the 30's, the Colts in the high teens to 20's if it plays out like I think it will.

You know these people are playing as soon as you know they are on the schedule so why do we need a thread?  Oh Gronkowskis playing so lets go duck our heads in the corner and pull our pants down.

Remember the days when we walked around with middle fingers raised at the Patriots?  We were hopeful we'd win, but if not, we'd never miss a chance to give a middle finger and choice words to Patriot fans.  Now it's just like people are asking permission to not lose badly.  Makes the rest of us look bad.

Bro, they're not that good.  Their defense is atrocious.  They had one good game.  You're all caught up in the myth of the Patriot Way.

It's pitiful and sad.   I just can't automatically act like I'm going to get my butt kicked at anything.  I got to find a way to flip a bird at you!  LOL

That's all it is is myth for the most part.  We can roll with them boys as long we don't play stupid football.  Their personell is not that good.

[King Colt]

With the list of Colts injured it is futile add to the fact out of the last seven meetings the Pats have won by a margin of ave.of 19 points according to Trey Wingo this morning. What I will watch for is what this game reveals about the Colts overall despite the injuries. Reich showed the world his philosophy last week and his players support him.
