Open Game Thread: Patriots @ Colts
New England Patriots at Indianapolis Colts, Nov 15, 2009 8:20 PM EST

That's right. Patriots @ Colts. This is one of the games we get up for. Can Dwight Freeney be contained? Will Brandon McGowan limit Dallas Clark? Can we mount a solid running game without Sammy Morris and Fred Taylor? There are many questions that will be answered tonight. A win against the Colts gives us home field advantage should we face each other in the playoffs. That being said, taking on the Colts at home is no small task. I'm looking for Tom Brady and his receivers to pick on some young corners.
BOOM BABY!! It's Pats @ Colts...finally.

even if they finish with a better record??
After watching brees in the recent weeks...
no disrepect to the guy cuz he’s good, but i don;t think he’s up to brady or peyton’s level as many ppl have been saying…He’s been turning the ball over way too much.
yeah
the guy just has SOOO much talent around him that if he doesnt do what hes doing.. he pretty much sucks
I'm here

Good win by u guys in spite of coaching decisions
Why did they throw it with like 2 mins left? it was like the saints game…dumbly abandoning the run
Oh, I know. I was sooo mad. In every game it seems like there is some real bad play calling
a lot of times it is like we are running when we should be throwing and this time it was the exact opposite.

the objectivity.

i dnt see why they dont just rearange the divisions and put us in the same division as the colts or the other way around
we dnt need the jets or the buffuloes
by MOSS81 on Nov 15, 2009 8:27 PM EST up reply actions
Because then we'd be less likely to meet up in the postseason, probably.
This way they get their yearly “superbowl X.5”

Miami
geographically seems like the one that would most likely get realigned. I think if we were in the same division though, this rivalry would lose some steam. As long as both keep making the playoffs, we’ll see them year after year anyway.
some of the divisions make no sense

the stat line between the teams are practically the same
aside from win-loss the teams are equal. even brady and manning’s numbers are almost the same
Tough play...
Full rotation AND extension? Watson can’t really do that when that’s thrown to his inside shoulder.
Agreed and a lot of heat on the ball. I'd say more on Brady

Close call...
…almost got hit mid-kick. Did you see his odd-landing?
by Richard Hill on Nov 15, 2009 8:39 PM EST up reply actions
i guess the colts game plan is make a ton of spectcular catches
i mean how could we have cover those two passes any better w/o getting and interference call
were gonna have to wait for manning to make a mistake...
psshhh who am i kidding thats not going to happen

So much for that : (
And it looked like Peyton was pressured.
peyton manning sets the world on fire

Love Moss getting fired up on the sidelines.
Remember how he was gonna be a non-team playing ego problem?
of course
but everybody is a non-team playing ego wen you play for the raiders. he was a faithful patriot but look at seymor

i haven't seen any of that...
it makes me laugh when the press pouts that he won’t do long interviews in the post game. i think he has been a dream player.
randy
nice stiff arm, and it took 3 guys to get you. i’m liking that.
Can you top this?
looks like it’s going to be a 12 round fight again. Love the Answer drive by the pats, hate the DALLAS FREAKING CLARK being wide open plague the Pats still seem to have.
i love randy moss...
hes is the best wide reciver in the nfl the past 10 years no doubt about it
gve me the score
I’m at metallica @ msg; pls help!

Did you all just see Vollmer...
…stop the spinning Freeney? Good job. Pushed him in the back while he was spinning and threw him off.
Koppen
needs to go.

That was an awesome Thursday Night commercial.
“The Wildcat is coming to Carolina….here kitty kitty”
I think that's when brady gets in the most trouble
Plays where there’s really only 1 receiver, and things are just designed to instantly go there without thinking.
by Ben Buchanan on Nov 15, 2009 9:15 PM EST up reply actions
He needs to go as well
Vollmer and Connely should be starting. Kaszur needs to be replaced. He is just awful and can’t pass block any more.

10-7 at least.
Light has sucked at left.
Vollmer has been good.

3 times, that is.
They’re not good against the run, but we take their weak secondary out of the equation 6 yards away from the end zone.
by Ben Buchanan on Nov 15, 2009 9:17 PM EST up reply actions
Where are the TE's in the Red Zone
If you run a cross with Moss and Baker underneath on the goal line with Watson hitting a corner fade – I would love to see ANY D defend that.
The FG will feel a lot better if we shut them down again.
Gostkowski, as usual, does his part.
Such a ridiculous kicker.
When Gundy retired.
He was co-coach before. Now they’ve just got some guy standing on the sidline who Manning dictates plays to.
by Ben Buchanan on Nov 15, 2009 9:20 PM EST up reply actions
I feel like...
…he was brought in more to mentor the younger players and transition from older to younger. With our younger guys stepping up, he’s needed less and less.

Hopefully we can keep this up
Brady seems to be picking apart the Indy D

Vollmer and Faulk. Faulk for making the Colts scared of the run, Vollmer for keeping Brady clean.
SICK hit by Arrington.
I dunno
Brady and Moss haven’t been too quiet so far. >_>

cornerbacks...
who is a better cornerback right now and for the future?? darius butler or wilhite?? and what about bodden?
Butler.
Bodden’s still excellent. Wilhite will be a GREAT nickel back.

Butler by far if you ask me.
I think he’s gonna be really good.

If Manning took that hit...
…he’s be done for the half and we’d have a +7 fumble recovery.

Let our score differential be so great that we can play Hoyer for the 4th quarter. Ultimate insult.
Uh-oh...
…I’m sensing a prevent defense by our secondary. Not a good sign, especially against Manning.
Hold
them to a FG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your guess
is probably better than mine, but not by much D:
We should be doing quick screens instead of draws.
Exploit the secondary, stay away from the potent D-Line.

It does get the smaller defensive guys on the field
AND is guaranteed to run the clock down, though.

Good penalty
But I feel like it won’t matter…Well, as long as there’s no FGs or TDs.
