Been waiting for this for a long time. I hope they hang 60 on them. I couldn't wait any longer to begin discussion.
Indy Week
- Thread starter RedOctober3829
- Start date
I want them to score a TD on every drive and for Indy to go 3 and out every drive and for the only noise left in the stadium in the 4th quarter to be the illegally pumped in crowd noise as the whole place will have emptied by half time.
Normally, I don't care how may points we win by. Beat the Jets by 1 point? Cool, we won. Next week I hope we hang a hundo on those bastards.
This is yet another example where we are lucky to have BB at the helm. He'll treat this as any other game, which is why a 45-17 final will be all the more satisfying.
However, would love to see any/all of the following:
Wes Welker signed to conduct all interviews this week.
One post celebration TD where ball is placed on ground and pantomime air pump is used to inflate it.
BB pays homage to Woody Hayes and goes for 2 points late in the game.

Barring catastrophic injury, the Pats should win next week by 24+. Think something like 41-17 or 48-24. Something in that range. Maybe Indy can't put up that many points, I dunno. But the Pats should score a TON.

Hyperbole aside, I just want them to get a win and stay healthy. Also, to embarrass them.
2 weeks of rust and probably still not 100%, not to mention he hasn't been very good this year when he was healthy.Stitch01 said:

Even though it was a cakewalk the last 2 times when they had Luck?
Either way, I'm heading to Indy tomorrow for a few days for work. Packed a Pats shirt though. Hoping we hit someplace tomorrow to watch MNF that has lots of Colts fans.

If Luck is out they're just going to end up turtling with Hasselbeck and trying not to lose by 40. I want Luck out there so they can beat his ass and pick him off and ruin his life.
My guess is you'll see a somewhat low-risk offensive game plan early from the Pats, just trying to avoid early turnovers, control the ball and execute. I expect more of a methodical dismantling, but if they can get the Colts to turn it over and panic then the beating will really commence.

He's had some atrocious picks and general bad decision making so far this season. Not to mention the beatdown we laid on him in the playoffs.
Yeah guys, Ive seen the last four games between the two teams and the Colts work so far. Pats should win and im laying the 7, but the idea they can go on the road and name the score against a decent team is a little optimistic.
Waiting to hear more on Solder, I don't think they can just go heavy and run over the Colts quite as well as they have the last two years although i expect the offense overall to perform very effectively as usual.
I'd guess 38-24 if Luck plays. Hope it's 75-0 with a fourth quarter onside kick.

not like this guy is paid to write or anything, but shouldn't it be "compete with NE, much less beat them"?

Per Reiss:
Comparing the 2015 team with 2007:
If the Colts stack the box and try to stop the run, we all know what's going to happen. As long as we don't repeat Dallas 1st half's OL breakdown, spread out the Colts D and have Lewis & LGBT gash the decidedly average Indy run defense.

Right, just look at the first 28 minutes of yesterday's game. If the Pats can come out of Indy with a similar result to yesterday I will be thrilled. The most important thing is to win and make sure that Indy can't host the Pats in January, and to avoid major injuries. A multi score win is just gravy.
That being said, I do agree with others who see a 2-3 score win.
I'd take the Pats and anything up to 21.5 points. In fact I might sign up on Bovada or whatever the fuck it is and make the bet. Bring it on, absolutely can't wait for this game.
Seen on the Indy Fan board yesterday discussing the coming week:

I expect Pats to come out in the big set and to run the ball until Indy stops it. They are not trying to be tricky, they are trying to win the game and until Indy shows they can stop it, Pats should just continue with the run-heavy approach.
I expect zero public comments about DeflateGate and a bunch of denials from the high-profile players that it is in their minds at all.
I also expect those same captains will make clear to their position groups and informally within the locker room that this Colts team, organization, and fanbase belives the Pats cheated last year and believes that the Pats aren't any good and that only complete domination is an acceptable response.
The only thing we'll get from BB all week is many of the starters being out there and doing legitimate plays and such well into the fourth quarter. I hope we get a drop-kick extra point/late two point conversion/late trick play kind of signature FU play, but I don't know that he'll be willing to risk TB's knees on trying one.
I will be disappointed if the Pats put up less than 50 or if the game is remotely in doubt after the first possession or two of the third quarter. I hear the concerns about the Colts with a healthy (ish) Luck and so forth, and I just believe this is one of those gut-check games that the Patriots virtually always deliver on. And based on performance the first four weeks, this Patriots team is a lot better than this Colts team, motivation and other stuff aside.

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?
From today's Indy Star: Top10 Reasons Colts fans hate the Patriots: Revisited
"Perhaps no player over the years has drawn the ire of Colts fans more than Brady. And Mr. Perfect only added fuel to the fire by, well, cheating."

TB is going to roast that team with the heat of a thousand Suns.

I like the idea — espoused in this article — that it's the Patriots' fault that rules were changed to emphasize defensive holding and ruin football in the process. They forced Bill Poilan's hand— he simply had no option but to petition the rules committee.
I hope the Patriot domination is so total that they spend the whole 4th quarter, all 15:00, in victory formation. Take 3 knees. Punt. "We are so much better than you, and so embarrassed by your incompetence, that we are not even going to try anymore."
Couldn't think of a better thread to put this in, so move if necessary.
