MNF In-game Thread - Colts @ Patriots
Indy outplayed the Patriots!
The loss of Ty Law and Rodney Harrison was felt.
The Loss of Charlie Weiss is HUGE!
The multiple injuries to key players takes the Patriots down to and in some cases below the level of NFL top team status.
***
Indy appears to have improved it's Defense which is what this team has lacked the past 3+ years.
They always make this a Brady vs. Manning thing but in reality.. it's about the entire TEAM.
The Colts were the better TEAM last night. If injuries do not take their toll on the COLTS. They do have a decent shot at winning a SuperBowl.
The Patriots need to get healthy and get a decent secondary if they expect a shot this year!

Demons are finally exorcized.
I have to give the Pats props for what they were able to accomplish on the Colts D. They didn't allow a sack until garbage time. And Brady had enough time to pick on Jason David and Marlin Jackson all night leading to 21 points.
The Pats D has always put more pressure on Manning than anyone and they showed that again last night forcing him to move around and actually run the ball himself a few times.
Question:
Why does everyone think that Dungy was trying to run up the score by going for two when they were up by 19 points? What the hell good would kicking for a 20 point lead have done? 19 or 20, three touchdowns beats you. 21, and three touchdowns ties you.
One thing I've been noticing more and more lately throughout the league that really bugs me happened last night with two of the Pats patchwork defenders. From my understanding of the game (granted, I'm a fan not a player, so maybe I'm wrong on this), the goal on defense is to stop the opposing offense from getting a first down thereby getting the ball back in the hands of your offense. Am I right? Well, if that's the case, then why, after Dallas Clark made a tough catch and took a big hit in the second half last night, did the Pats defender who made the hit jump up and do a little celebration with a teammate (where they jump and bump hips in the air) after he as a defender had just given up a first down thereby allowing the Colts O to continue operating? Sure, it was a big hit. But the celebration would have you believe that he had successfully dislodged the ball or even made an interception on the play.
I'm seeing this all over the place. One that sticks in my mind from early in the season was the Colts-J-Ville game in which a Jags rookie reciever literally caught a pass for a two yard gain on second down making it 3 and long. The guy jumped up and started pumping his fist and got in the face of the Colts defender as if he had just burned him for a long score. The Jags were then stopped on the next play and were forced to punt. Do the young players coming into the league just not get the concept of moving the chains or has the desire to celebrate and show off completely overshadowed the fundamentals of the game?

I actually think the loss of Crenel is hurting you worse. All last year we heard how great the Pats D is b/c you can plug anyone into the system and it works. Well, Crennel is now gone, their D is shitty now and everyone is blaming it on injuries.Jack wrote:Indy outplayed the Patriots!

Losing Weis hurts- but Brady is a good enough QB to overcome that.
Yeah fuckers.... I'm back

It's hilarious when these dumbasses do that shit. Yea, it is way out of hand but it is also just plain old ESPN that brings this. They show hits regardless of the result. Kind of like Lloyd's catch, it didn't count but we all still wanted to get a look at it. ...and blame GW.
