donk4life 34 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 You're kidding with yourself if you're trying to convince yourself that the Patriots have problems on defense.Oh by the way, Richard Seymour came back and played today for the first time this year.Colts are gonna get crushed next week. Probably something like 38-21.I never said the patriots have problem on defense did I? Even though Dallas got crushed by the Pats, they could easily drive on them if they wanted too.. They just couldn't stop Tom Brady... I'm not saying it's going to be a 13-10 game.. The teams are going to score.. but it's going to be a close game.. Link to post Share on other sites
loogie 115 Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 I am loving all the talk I'm hearing about how the Patriots are going to "crush" the Colts. I even read that the line was starting at -6 PATS. This game is in Indianapolis! So crazy...Does anybody remember 2005? This is the year the Colts were killing everyone. Their offense seemed to score a touchdown every position, and the defense was killing people. And then we got stuffed by the Steelers in the playoffs.It's different now. The Colts still have the same level of talent, arguably better actually. Only, they play a different game. The focus used to be on scoring fast and scoring often. Now the focus is on achieving the lead and managing the clock. In the words of Tony Dungy's good friend Herm Edwards, "We play. To win. The game." We win close games. We come from behind. We play to win the game.The Pats are good. I know this. It's not a revelation, though their supporters feel the need to remind everyone often. They have talent at every position and have proven to be far superior over everyone they've played this year. But there's one thing they haven't done yet, and that is win a close game. Grind one out. Granted, they haven't had to, but my point is that they are still unproven. And they are about to go on the road and play a team that is proven.Why do the Patriots run up the score on everyone? It's not because they're "classless." It's because the Colts showed them last January that no lead is ever safe against a good team. They don't want to play a close game. They aren't confident they can win a close game. And really, why should they be?Pats fans say their team will crush the Colts? Well, they better hope it's a blowout. It may be New England's only chance to win this game.Go Horse. Link to post Share on other sites

It'll be a moral victory if they lose by less than 2 touchdowns.Edit: I read the whole thing now instead of just the part about the 2005 colts.

I'm not here to go back and forth who is the better team now, but some of what you are saying in this post is just laughable... I wouldn't be surprised if either team won, neither the Pats or the Colts have played a great schedule so it's going to be a great game to say the least. Regardless of who wins next week we're gonna have to go through this all over again when they meet in the AFC Championship.Oh and Flush, PLEASE grow up! I'm just as excited as you are that the Pats are having a great season, but it's ONLY week 8.... January is all that really matters. If you're going to argue then please don't do it like the kids at my work would... Link to post Share on other sites

CaneBrain 95 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I am rooting for 52-49. I think this game is a score fest. Cant wait to watch.I dont care who wins. I would be surprised if the Colts got blown out though.Honestly, this game strikes me as role reversal. The only minor weakness the Patriots have shown is that they can be run on. (Miami ran on them quite well....thats about the only nice thing I have to say about the Dolphins in that game.) I expect Peyton to work Addai and the short passing game. They will avoid Asante Samuel who is playing out of his mind. They will look to have long 8, 9, 10 minute drives. Keep Brady and his super WR corps off the field.If Addai and Kenton Keith combine for over 30 rushes I like the colts chances. If peyton has to throw 50 times they are in trouble.

showstopper24 0 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I just heard that the Colts vs. Patriots game is not going to be on in Cleveland, because the Browns are going to be on instead. I am a Browns fan, but I would rather watch the other game. And someone also told me that the Buckeyes game is not going to be on either. WTF? Link to post Share on other sites
TRB05 1 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 FWIW I like the Colts money line bet (+220). I can't believe the line is 5.5! They're the defending champs and UNDEFEATED! Go Colts! Link to post Share on other sites
