Indy vs. New England

[ATrain]

This is their first true test as far as I'm concerned. And it's a test in which they will fail.

But that is what folks were saying about yesterdays Washington game

I'm saying New England will win but of course it wont be easy and should be a barn burner. The Pats have scored more after week 8 than 17 teams did in their entire season last year. Looking at the two teams I think you have to give it to the Patriots.

thanks for merging...


I understand there will always be an opposite side but come on you guys....
but.
washington's secondary is respected....and dallas defense is no joke....
let's give New England their respect, cause if not, they will only get better.
and no one wants a dynasty except new england fans.
any NFL team is hard to beat and new england is doing it real well....

im sorry, i just dis-like when people discredit a team by comparing who they played. instead, i judge their performance as a football team.

I'm a big patriots fan and the patriots are going to smash peyton manning and his so called "undefeated" colts

[Jesta]

Colts. Colts. Colts.

The Pats division is weaker than my 90-year old bed-stricken grandmother...for real...Some of you seem to forget exactly who they're demolishing each game: weak, bottom-feeding teams.

This is their first true test as far as I'm concerned. And it's a test in which they will fail.

As much as I dislike Manning, you just cannot stop that Indy O. :jointsmile:

Ya and the Colts can stop Brady and Moss right? psh...

patriots are gonna win, its not gonna be that great of a game that its billed as, the pat's d is better than people are giving them credit for they may not be the fastest or strongest but they are definatly the smartest, thats the only thing that can beat the colts offense, the colts are based on great timing while the pats all have great instincts the colts are gonna get killed in the passing game the only guy who is great on defense is bob sanders hes is really good but hes 5-9, he can tackle like a linebacker but hes not going to be able to provide addaquate coverage on randy moss who is 6-4

I've only heard on football head mention it the entire season, but the offense thats thats pats are running is known as the run shoot offense (see: Run & Shoot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). This is an oldschool offense thats hasn't been seen by the league in about a decade. The last real team to run in were the detroit lions and they were scoring all over the place with it.... Until they ran into a young agressive assistant coach named.. you guessed it bill belicheck! He stopped the run shoot by dropping max coverage on the wideouts and hitting the recievers in the middle of the field hard. Laying the wood on the over the field catches cause those short but vital gains to dissapear making the long shots moot and returing the team to a conventional run pass offence. That he brought back that offence that he stopped so many years ago is crafty for belichek, and that the other teams didn't do their home work on it is sad for the blow out victims. I think that tony Dungy will study hard on this and use bob sanders and the linebacker corp to lay the wood on wes welker when he goes the short route. I know it seems that the pats can throw deep to randy moss every play but thats an illusion, they still need the short routes to replace the run in their wide open offence. I think the game will be decided by who wins the battle over the middle of the field and not the wideouts. Well that my 2 cents and a little football history for ya to boot.
