[quote name='mmn'][quote name='dafoomie'][quote name='mmn']The Pats secondary isn't going to be able to cheat by pass interfering on evey play this year and the results will be different. 38-14, Colts. [/quote]
I love when Colts fans trot out this bullshit. The Pats played zone against the Colts last year, they weren't playing them close. And the Pats beat them in week 1, the 5 yard rule was being enforced a lot more in the beginning of the season.
I'm confident that the Pats defense can at least contain Manning, as they've done consistantly in the past. Do you think the Colts defense is going to stop Brady or Dillon? The Colts defense is the 29th ranked defense in the NFL. The Pats can control the clock with the run, and keep Manning off the field.[/quote]
Yeah, the Pats played soft zone, alright. Weird that the Pats came out after the game and admitted they were playing man-to-man rough to try to throw the Colts receivers off their timing.
No, the Pats didn't beat them in week 1, the Colts beat themselves. Again, Edge fumbled at the ONE yard line - a score which would've won the game. He did it last season too in Indy, only instead of fumbling he was stuffed. New England has got lucky against Indy multiple times and their luck is about to run out.
The Colts defense gets turnovers and Brady isn't playing like the son of God anymore. All they'll need to do is get Manning back the ball once or twice and that'll be game.
56-3, Colts.[/quote]
Peyton Manning has not had a great game in well over a month. Since that record has been looming over them the games have gotten closer and closer.
It is going to take another year or so for the Colts to reign supreme over the AFC. Dungy still has too much to work on, on the defensive side of the ball
Also I bet the Broncos kill the Colts this weekend. They are going to go into the playoffs flat like in 99 and are going to get killed. They gave Denver something to play for, and they never should have
