New England Patriots 2nd round game

Well - are we ready for the Dolts?

Bengals could still win.

Indy coming to New England.

Not saying this is an easy win at all. I would rather see Indy than Cinn to be honest. Should be a game we can win.

Based on how Andy Dalton looks in this game, I would rather face the Bengals but this is not going to happen.

I didn't really care about the result of today's game impacting the Patriots 'cause it's true of any of the three teams we could have faced that if the Pats show up, they beat any of them and if they don't, they could lose to any of them.

However, I do believe that the best team we could send to Denver to knock out the Broncs is San Diego so I'm pleased.

Gonna be a tough one, but I think will take care of Indy.

wow were gunna slap the colts around. san diego beats denver then we got the 6th seed chargers to beat in our crib to go to the sb?? loool. setting up pretty nice for us!

Patriots vs Colts this will be a very entertaining game to watch. Colts coming back to win in the biggest point deficit in playoff history. This will be like the old days a shootout. Who ever has the ball last wins.

chargers beat indy earlier this yr

 

[patsfan187]

so possible they can do it again not likely but possible

chargers beat indy earlier this yr

They also beat Denver and KC. All 3 wins were on the road. They can beat anyone.

 

[briz almighty]

pats should shread indy, their run game stinks and they got one weapon in hilton. pats secondary is good with dennard back. run the rock with blount and neutralize mathis. biggest thing that could hurt us is Luck scrambling. bb got to put a spy on Luck all game. even injured this team isnt as talented as us if we lose it will be a dissapointment.

im salivating at the thought of san diego beating denver and we host the #6 seed to go to the sb.

Did you watch the Indy/KC game yesterday. Colts came back from 28 down....sound familiar?? I couldn't believe the weather inside Lucas Oil Stadium. Clear, 68 degrees, no wind.........

Colts are getting lucky. Expected temp for next Saturday at Foxboro is a very nice 46 degrees during the day. By game time the temps will drop into the high 20s with an westerly wind 15-25 mph.
The Colts really don't have a strong running game and Luck will not have perfect conditions to throw. They'll have to shorten their passing game by quite a bit because the WRs aren't going to be catching a soft, warm football. It's going to a cold brick.

I think the Patriots will start out punching the ball directly at the defensive line and get them a bit worn. By the 4th quarter, the Patriots will be running the ball 90% of the time and Colts will be fighting to get Brady off the field.

I still think the Patriots will have to go to Denver, but I'd love to see the Chargers come to Foxboro.

Blount goes off yet again against the Colts. Luck's "luck" will run out!

So who cover Hilton is my question? I don't think Talib can keep up with him, so does he get help. Do we put Arrington on him with help and Talib on Fleener? I agree with whoever said we need to spy on Luck to keep him from running. My guess would be Collins?

 

[Drawmeomg]

Anyone trash talking the Colts hasn't been paying attention. Yes, the Patriots (still) have more talent on the field and if they play their game, they'll win. But if the Patriots aren't perfect, they could easily lose. And the Patriots haven't been perfect much this year.

Yeah I agree.

Pats gotta show up or Indy will beat us.

have to agree with this (though does that make me an idiot... according to some on here).... Hilton will be the Patriots biggest match-up problem. Is Talib even healthy enough to try to stick with him?
