Nope. Not while Steve McQueen is still there.

Red Averages said:The Colts run defense has been much better this year than their pass defense. General consensus is that the Pats will come out run heavy, but I'm not seeing it. Why get away from the Pats own strength and the defenses own weakness just because something worked last year?

I would expect the Colts to work on run defense all week, also. So perhaps the Pats come in with 2 TE + LGBT formations making the Colts play base, then throw the ball?
ESPN isn't allowed to discriminate by not hiring atheists.Curtis Pride said:With the inclusion of Carson Palmer in the opening image instead of Brady, I think the person assigned to the ESPN Twitter account is a Cardinals fan who refuses to believe that Tom Brady exists.
djbayko said:ESPNFL getting their troll on during Indy week. I'd normally roll my eyes at such an accusation, but when it happens time and again with only one team, it seems intentional.

This is actually kind of brilliant. If the Pats aren't doing it? They should be.And Brady, it seems, has a subtle scheme going on to get one-on-one time with the refs. An e-mailer had the details.
"I watched Brady last season in non-Colts games, watched him fall at times, watched his teammates watch him on the ground... until a referee came over and helped Brady get up. Over and over, game after game," she wrote. "I doubt the teammates were loathe to help their quarterback up, I just think they were supposed to wait for the referee to do that. These encounters usually ended in a bit of conversation, sometimes a handshake, sometimes a bit more. I think this process/ social interaction works to soften the referee's attitude toward Brady. Look for it to reappear this season."
Gosh darn and Golly Gee Wilikers!
As I'm sure we're all aware the Patriots games is coming up and given the events of the off season there's fair chance that tempers might run a little hotter than usual on the forum.
Let this then be fair warning to posters that we are going to be especially vigilant in enforcing the forum rules leading up, during and after the game. We'll have no compunction about limiting the posting privileges of those who step out of line. In case you're unaware of the rules they can be found here:
No baiting of, trolling of, or taking shots at other posters. There will no doubt be a fair degree of disagreement on things but this doesn't mean you have to resort to attacking other posters or groups of posters. Keep it civil.
Linked to the above, no "smack talk".
No vulgarity or profanity, we're a family orientated site and don't allow such things.

drleather2001 said:
No it's not.
The "joke" in that sign is that the Patriots will beat up on the Colts for "snitching", i.e. ratting out the Patriots's ball manipulation scheme to the league. It rests on the premise that the Patriots were actually doing something wrong.
The entire reason why deflategate is bullshit is because the Patriots did not do anything wrong in the first place. The Patriots beat the shit out of the Colts fair and fucking square, and always have.
Making deflategate themed signs is playing on the Colts' fans' turf. Don't go there. Pick a sign that makes fun of the Colts for sucking and always losing.

I know all of this. The joke is the Colts TRIED to snitch because they were sore losers and incompetent enough to think Brady deflated footballs, rather than consider what actually happened (IGL).drleather2001 said:

Orientated is a real word. It's more common in British English than American, but it's in Webster's.

Brady had his suspension overturned in September for the legal gobbledygookiest of reasons. A U.S. District Court didn’t find Brady innocent. It found NFL commissioner Roger Goodell guilty of overplaying his hand.
Quarterback Andrew Luck might play this week. Might not. The Colts don’t have much going for them in this matchup – they don’t play, coach or cheat as well as the Patriots......
If this is me playing the lame homer card, fine. The Patriots cheated the team in my city. Residents of Indianapolis and the surrounding areas, you give the Colts the best you’ve got: money, emotion, more. The Patriots rigged the AFC title game. Cheated the Colts. Cheated you. Sickening.
Should the Colts concede a likely defeat, in other words, and lean on Luck’s unavailability as a crutch?
In a word: No. In two words: (Expletive) no. The Colts should give this game the best they’ve got, not because it’s the Patriots but because it’s the next game on the schedule, and the next game is always the most important game. Besides, only a scared team would sit a healthy quarterback.
Only a scared team would cheat, too.
Let’s not be scared around here, OK? Let’s not be anything like the franchise coming to town on Sunday.
He didn't even call them his team, he said the team in my city. What a hack.MarcSullivaFan said:IMHO, Doyel couldn't give two farts about the Colts or the Patriots' evil ways. I don't think he's even from Indiana, and he's only been writing here for ~1 year. This is all red meat for the unwashed masses.
