So, thanks for being stupid enough kind enough to let me run your blog for a few days, Patriots fans. Though your liquor cabinet is bare, your toilet seat is coated in piss stains, and the living room carpet as a nice, warm present waiting for you when you get home, I'm sure you enjoyed my two days of blogging here. I appreciate all the fine comments and the insight. This is a smart, intelligent Pats fan community here (well, except for Pats fans are making fun of him
I leave you with a great quote from Colts center Jeff Saturday, who was interviewed by Colts.com. You might remember him as the guy who pancaked Vince Wilfork into the endzone on Joseph Addai's game-winning TD in the 2006 AFC Championship Game. Saturday, who is likely a future Hall of Famer, has a great quote about this upcoming game that I hope both players and fans take to heart (emphasis mine):
Question: Is it fun to play games like this [Against the Patriots]?
Jeff Saturday: Absolutely! I think the thing you do want to take away from this week is enjoy the week. Understand, this is cool. This is what you play football for. You don't play for the 0-5 teams, or the 0-8 teams. You play for the two best teams in the division, or in the conference, playing each other and battling it out. I mean, there's no hiding. We'll see where we are Sunday night. I think that's exciting. I think players that enjoy this game understand how fun these times are and how few times you really get this opportunity. So, you might as well go out and make the most of it.
I hope you enjoyed this week as much as Jeff Saturday seems to have. Enjoy the game Sunday everyone.

see you Sunday night
Hope you find a bit of time to pop in the open game thread, though we understand if you’d rather watch in your own “house” :)
A lot of us over at
Stampede Blue try to pop in and out of the opposing teams open thread. So Im sure you will see a few of us over here!

This week was pretty cool and handled well (considering the alternatives.)
But you know what they say about having guests in your home: It’s like fish, they both begin to stink after three days.
Nawwwww, just kidding BBS. Good job at the Pulpit. Enjoy the game all.
Keep the faith!

Differences this year
Hey BBS, I was wondering, from a Pats perspective, or just an NFL perspective really, what do you think are the differences this year with the new coaching staff? Or are there any? Are the Colts essentially still running the show almost exactly like Tony did? Or do you see any significant changes, additions, etc. to the schemes, approaches, playcallig, anything? I haven’t seen a significant amount of Colts’ ball this year, but in what I have seen, i haven’t noticed anything. What’s your take, d
Some...
Manning still effectively runs the show on offence – being a Colts offensive coordinator must be the cruisiest job in football. It seems to me that the Colts are blitzing more on defence, which is perhaps a change due to the new coaching staff. Otherwise, though, if Manning is still running the show the offence will look the same. And the defence had a significant change in personnel, especially in the secondary, it was bound to look and act different anyway.
Hard to really put down any change to the coaching staff – especially when it’s at 8-0. They might’ve changed things if they were losing, but when you’re 8-0, why fix it?

yeah O is largely the same as last year
D has less Tampa-2 (still a ton of it though) in favor of more blitzing with man coverage behind, and more cover-3 looks.
Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.
