Indy Week

The only thing that is obvious to me about this game is taking the over at +55. We all want blood but this feels like a trap game to me. Hope I am way, way wrong.
This does look like a trap game, and we may be taking the Colts lightly, but BB/Pats usually don't make rookie mistakes.
Agree on the over.
Agree on the over.
I think the Pats/BB/Brady are very motivated for this game, so they will not take the Colts lightly (even though many fans do ie, the rookie mistake). I don't think BB will let the Pats believe the media bullshit that all they have to do is show-up to win by 40.
Oh I think the Patriots are extremely motivated and its obvious to me why many folks expect a blow-out with team scoring as much as possible. That said - and I know the Colts defense is amongst the worst in the league - I see Indianapolis as extremely motivated too. A 35-31 game wouldn't shock me, especially with Luck back.Ed Hillel said:

Here nor there really, but I think Pagano is completely checked out with the organization as a whole and I don't expect him to resign. Him turning down a extra year on his deal earlier this year I took as him being fed up with the clown show and willing to take his chances for a vacancy elsewhere.
Oh, that's friggin awesome. Watching the game, my buddy asked "which was worse, the butt fumble or that play". I replied that you couldn't compare the two since this one was seemingly at least partially intentional, but I'm open for debate.
They should change the rule to make fake punts illegal so teams like the Colts don't get confused. Totally unfair and degrades the integrity of the game.
I think it's great that the Colts are waking up today wondering whether they got beat or they beat themselves and are concluding both are true.
Can someone link the place in the game thread where they try that play?
I've seen a bit of narrative on twitter today saying the Colts lost because of the fake punt. While it certainly seemed to be the straw that broke their back, the Colts were losing at that point, and it took a gift pick 6 to have them not down 13+.
Looking forward to see what NE can do now that this game is behind them.

ESPN is part of this as well -- SportsCenter lead-ins this morning were about the Colts giving the game away.DrewDawg said:
Fine by me. I hope the eventual 9-7 AFC South champion Colts get a shot at a rematch in Foxboro in January.
9-7? I'm not even sure they'll get there.
Next 4 are Saints, Panthers, Broncos, Falcons and then 2 weeks later Pitt.
It's pretty soft outside of that though. I can see them possibly going 8-8, though 9-7 is more likely. They're only one game up in the division at the moment which is scary.

Colts board is amusing.
Some "if that's the best the AFC has..." stuff. Some "Kraft bought that onside kick recovery call" as well. Even a few "who have the Pats beaten?" posts.
Yeah, they beat you dude. They also beat the Jags, who you beat by 3, by 34 points and they beat the Bills, who also beat you.

The Pats played their worst game of the season and would've won by 13 on the road if not for a garbage time TD. I'd pay a reasonable amount of money to guarantee the Colts are one of the teams the Pats face in the playoffs. That fanbase is fucking delusional, they are an okay team in a horrendous division, not much more.
Colts fans should be upset this morning. Their coaching staff had it right, that was basically their Super Bowl. They're three losses behind everyone and don't have tie break with the Pats. They aren't winning two games in a row on the road against Denver, the Bengals, and New England (or the Jets if things go really wrong in NE). They're going to have a hard time beating a healthy Steeler team at home and they already lost to one likely six seed at home. They scrapped enough to win their dogshit division, but they're going to have to settle for an AFC playoff participant or, maybe, AFC semi-finalist participant banner again this year as they waste another year of one of the NFL's most valuable commodities, Andrew Luck's rookie contract. Then the fun should begin as they have to pay Luck and, God willing, have to try and build a team with the group that thought Phil Dorsett and his 3 targets a game were where a team that got run over regularly should spend their first round draft capital.
Lol again at the NFL Network segment right before the Do Your Job show where all the analysts picked the Colts to win the whole thing.

Compare and contrast:soxhop411 said:
Pagano's special team practiced that play all week and its a shit-show.
The Pats special team presumably practice the Collins double-jump/blocked XP that worked.
btw do we assume Ghost plays the part of AV in the practice of that play?
I love this:soxhop411 said:

Cross-posting from the media forum, but Barnwell hit on a lot of good points today. While the discussion has been mostly about the fake punt, and that the Colts should be encouraged since they only lost by 7 despite giving away the 7 points, he seems to realize that this was closer to a blowout than the score indicated, and that the Colts were basically admitting with their gameplan that they can't straight up beat the Pats
Peter King picks up on the same theme as Barnwell. It must be close to Halloween or the world may be ending
(talking about the final score vs. the actual game)
And TY Hilton's dropped TD in the end zone being called incorrectly to not be down 7 more points.DrewDawg said:

The sweetest part is seeing the language-ban in effect. A lot of "hells" and "hecks". They can't even express their frustration appropriately.
I mean, without the gift pick-6, the Pats, based on how they played in first half (no punts) likely get at least 3 on the drive. If Chandler isn't called for OPI, that's a TD and not a FG. 34-27 could have been 41-20 very easily.
But yeah, you're fine Colts fans.

How about the Colts touchdown pass where the ball was 100% laying the ground and no official (apparently) saw it?DrewDawg said:

I have been trying to figure out what the "*" in "*ic" means.
For instance:
Are they not allowed to say idiotic? Or are they really saying "asstastic"?
Anyone know what *ic is? A few posters there have used it.RIrooter09 said:
And the Colts radio guy sounds like Lance Russell.
I'd guess it is a word filter that replaces a word (probably several) with an asterisk. 'Idiot' fits in nicely. Plus, its a word that only a big fat meanie face would use and so has no place on their message board.
Are you going by the still frame pic out there? Because there was an animated GIF that 100% looked like the ball coming loose.DrewDawg said:
djbayko said:
I'm going by the video someone posted and then there was a comment that what everyone thought was the ball was the guy's left elbow while the ball was in his right arm.
If I'm wrong, show me, because I'd love to get righteously indignant over it.
Okay, I didn't see that conversation. I only saw the link to an article with the still frame saying it appears to be an elbow. If you saw the video too, then apparently there are differing opinions and it wasn't as cut and dried as I thought.DrewDawg said:
I'll have to seek out the video again when I get home becaus the original links have been taken down.
Edit: Not sure what your last paragraph was about but I'll assume it wasn't directed at me.
