***The Official Patriots Pound The Colts Gameday Thread***

[Hoopsdoc]

28-10 Cheaters.

[njcoltfan]

I have been saying all week that the Colt's will lose today. I've gone on other sites and read all the comments from asshole Patriot fans, and because of them I wish I could change my prediction, but alas, they have Belicheat and the Colt's have Reich!! Patriots 27, Colt's 16.

[omahacolt]

A- on title. solid effort


i agree. pats beat colts 23-13

No quarterback, no offensive line, and no JT.

I think I’ll revise my prediction. They probably won’t score 10 points.

28-3 Cheaters.

Mathis Scores Lone Touchdown of the Game


While the Colts offense was held stagnant, their defense produced all the points Indianapolis needed. In the final frame, Adam Vinatieri's 30-yard field goal in the first quarter was the only points to show for the Colts. That's until Colts defensive end Robert Mathis scooped up a fumble from Browns quarterback Derek Anderson on the Cleveland 37-yard and sprinted into the end zone for the touchdown with 9:55 left in the game. Dwight Freeney forced the fumble when he flew by the offensive line and punched the ball out of Anderson's right hand.

[CletusPyle]

Cheaters are not that good....if our defense comes to play the Colts can pull off the upset! Colts 27 Belicheats 24

[ChoppedWood]

In this one, Frank will go bananas as a play caller and we will gallop to a crazy 14 points in the first half and will actually be up 14-10 (at halftime Frank will declare to the sideline reporter that Marcus Brady was clearly the reason we haven't been so explosive and point to the scoreboard in testament to his offensive genius).

In the 2nd half, we will make adjustments like we always do and Frank will play ball control and prevent defense for 30 minutes while surrendering 21 points to our goose egg and we will lose 31-14.

Post game he will talk about how we made huge progress and thought our offense looked a lot crisper this week but that his friend Nick Foles will be the starter next week and that he is cutting Same Ehlinger effective immediately.

[apballin]

Colts win 27-17

For the gamblers out there throw a lil something on Granson to score a TD

[Lov2fish]

Suckriots, well, suck as bad as we do. Colts win a close one, 16-13 and Sam gets his first NFL TD.

[Brylok]

Listening to the pregame stuff on the WFNI app. I've read some bad reviews, but it works well for me. You outside of area geezers might want to give it a shot. It's on the play store. As for the game, Colts lose probably 16-13 or some boring shit. I'm just watching for Sam and the wide receivers.
I hope Hines scores for Buffalo today.

[Brylok]

Moss is inactive today.

[bigalbert]

So no Heins no JT and no Moss
Colts kick a game winner 9-6

Dennis Kelly (calf / ankle) and EJ Speed (ankle) are both active for today's game.

The only mild surprise on the inactive list is Zack Moss. I didn't expect him to play much but thought he may get a snap or two. The Colts elevated Phillip Lindsay and Jordan Wilkins to the active roster to back up Deon Jackson for today's game.


Colts Inactives:

RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle)
QB Matt Ryan (right shoulder)
LB Grant Stuard (pectoral)
CB Tony Brown (hamstring)
OL Wesley French
RB Zack Moss
DT Chris Williams

I believe that the New England Patriots will finish the 2022 season with a winning record, and a bright future for 2023 and beyond.

That said, it won't surprise me at all if the extremely talented-but-flawed Colts win today's game ...... remember, the Patriots got annihilated by a below-average Chicago Bears team on their homefield in Massachusetts just 2 weeks ago.

o

[nate505]

It depends what OL shows up today. If it's the one that showed up in the Jags game, Colts have a good chance. Pats aren't that good.

If the OL of most games shows up, Colts are toast. Those guys are the absolute suckiest bunch of suck that's ever sucked. They get paid like guys who are good at their job, but they aren't, because they suck so much.

[JAFF]

What I would like to see:

1. Dont be predictable.
2. Go for it short and 4th.
- Dont settle for FGs.

3. Blitz with the slot DBs,
4. Keep swinging until time runs out.

No doubt ...... and the Patriots responded the following week by beating a very hot New York Jets team on their homefield in northern New Jersey.

And that game was not as close as the 22-17 final score might indicate, as the Patriots methodically and thoroughly outplayed the Jets over the final 2-and-a-half quarters of play.

I moved away from Indiana in 1992. The Colts were struggling bad at the time. I can remember someone named Duke Tomato singing that song. It always cracked me up. Is he still around?

[HoosierinFL]

Colts win 800-0

[ChoppedWood]

Hines is a much better player?

Which makes so much sense to part with him in exchange for a lesser player.

But we did get a draft pick, which will be converted to a 4th string C I am sure.

[Chromeburn]

Pats have one of the best pass defenses in the league and we can’t run. Going to be tough.

He apparently wanted out and it free up space to rebuild with. I don't love it, but there is a reason

Sam gets sacked on first play and the O-linemen offer to help him up.

If I were him, I'd slap their hands away and get up myself. They'd probably botch it.

Rainman thinks it is Halloween and he is doing his Pryor imitation.

That 2009 Colts defense carried the day in the post-season against the Ravens in the divisional playoff game, against the Jets in the championship playoff game, and the first half of the Super Bowl against the Saints before the onside-kick debacle turned the tide of the game ...... also, Dwight Freeney was playing the Super Bowl on one leg, which was another contributing factor in the Saints' 2nd-half comeback that day.

From everything that I have read, Reich was calling all of the plays on offense in the first place ...... so firing the offensive coordinator in the second place shouldn't be expected to make much (if any) difference.

As I said in another thread, a more significant move that might initiate some change would have been benching the entire offensive line for the 2nd-string instead of firing an offensive coordinator who wasn't calling the plays, anyway.

Heh
He’s a good drafter, but as I’ve criticized him every year for. He doesn’t address issues fast enough or go far enough. Unless of course they are angling for a high pick.

Only QB I would take is probably Richardson out of Florida. And the guy is a huge project who probably won’t play for at least one year. There are some sweet underclassman tackles though that could be franchise tackles.

[Chromeburn]

Probably the DC. It would be an interim coach. Anyway you dont react off one game. We weren’t winning this game win they announced Ehlinger as the starter.

[Brylok]

Mom just messaged me, she says the Colts stink

Only QB I would take is probably Richardson out of Florida. And the guy is a huge project who probably won’t play for at least one year. There are some sweet underclassman tackles though that could be franchise tackles.

Richardson lines up with Ballard’s consistent timeline for the team - eventually, sometime in the future.

[CletusPyle]

Chick ref stood her ground!

[Brylok]

At least Sam has the good sense to slide

[Lov2fish]

They can fire the HC, who do you put in charge?

Is it me , have the offensive players forgotten how to play football

Fox is on the staff. Was always above average coach.

[CletusPyle]

Was Campbell going to throw that?

[Luck4Reich]

36 total Yards.... Nice Offense Frank...lol

[ChoppedWood]

Was Campbell going to throw that?

Looked like it may have been set up for that- but I think it may have actually gone forward?

[rm1369]

Anyone. The biggest bright side of Reich getting fired is that you know he won't be back.

Unless you fire Ballard nothing is going to change. No coach will do well with the constant QB rotation and lack of urgency in roster building. Everyone is on Frank, but Colts have had decent offenses considering the QB and WR situation Ballard has handed him - until this year where LT and RG got the Ballard treatment. Fire Frank, that’s fine. But if you bring back Ballard nothing will change.

"Jim, that stupid fucking water boy, he was always late getting water to the guys in breaks, they were de-hydrated. We need to do the right thing for the team and fire him tonight Jim".

Completely untrue. His coaching has regressed into a level that's hard to comprehend. This is about the only drive where he hasn't run up the gut two times in a row.

[CletusPyle]

You don't catch that Paris!

I think he dropped it!

[ChoppedWood]

Incomplete!

[Brylok]

Why do we wait until we have 36 seconds left in the first half to run plays like that? WTF

[ChoppedWood]

Pats playing Metallica and Butthole Surfers.

We still play Mellencamp and Bob Seger.

We need a complete overhaul at every level of the organization.

[nate505]

I'm sure Ballard is to blame somehow.

[CletusPyle]

Dumbass crowd cheered like it was good for them!:D

[nate505]

Yup, because that's just how this game is going.

[ChoppedWood]

Another game trailing at half, another scoreless half

and yet Frank Reich is still the coach of this miserable shit show

Inexcusable!

[HoosierinFL]

Well that figures

[CletusPyle]

Frank should be fired by Monday!

[Spike]

Now, can't even make a field goal. This team is just not worth a shit.

Announcer says it's just been that kind of a day for the Colts. No, it's been that kind of a year.

[Butter]

Lol! this team is clownshoes.

[HoosierinFL]

Another game trailing at half, another scoreless half

and yet Frank Reich is still the coach of this miserable shit show

Inexcusable!

Has anyone ever been fired mid-game?

[Luck4Reich]

Pacers are a lot more fun to watch. 2 superstars in the making in Haliburton and Mathurin.

[ChoppedWood]

Has anyone ever been fired mid-game?

I said this in a game thread a couple weeks ago and I mean it- if he was anything NEAR the man of unquestioned integrity he so loves to be hailed as, he would tender his resignation. He won't, because he is a coward and a fraud.

[Luck4Reich]

Has anyone ever been fired mid-game?

If Jim makes it a first I hope it's after he busts his least favorite guitar over Reich's melon head!

[CletusPyle]

Sam looks like crap today too....his passes have nothing on them, he'll throw a pick 6 in the second half for sure!

[BCN#1]

Cannot remember bailing out on a game in ages and especially this early at half time but this is simply painful to watch. Pryor needs to walk home and I would hesitate letting the rest of the O line and Frank board the plane home.

Maybe this will be be the time where the Klotz come roaring back and my dumb ass misses it but cannot watch right now withoout puking up all the beer I swilled to prep for this misery.

[Brylok]

Sam is young and full of piss and vinegar. He has legs and can run. Get him moving and throwing on the move! He will probably fuck up and throw picks here and there, but he'll learn and get better. This is coffin viewing here. Fucking funeral service when we have multiple young guys out there who could do much more than they're being asked. C'mon!

[red raindog]

To me even Reich looks defeated now

The Colts’ first six offensive possessions:

Punt

Blocked Punt

The results: 22 plays for 20 net yards and 4 sacks

The last drive (44 yards) ends with a missed FG

:cool:

That's his normal look of I don't know what the fuck I'm doing.

[YDFL Commish]

Not since Clarence Verdin was our best player has the Colts offense been this bad.

[Luck4Reich]

Yeah, he looks like he knows it's over....probably taking to realtors all week!

He has probably fired a few Realtors already.

Somehow in his fucking clearly garbled mind I am sure Frank actually sees this 1st half as a positive- didn't commit any TO's and D played pretty well. Lots to build on, getting better, not making big mistakes, these are positive steps to him. This is the type of thing to hang his hat on to Jim, he's capable of corralling all the mistakes that idiots like Ryan and Brady were making every game. Seriously, I could see him trying to sell this shit, believing it with conviction too.

Man is awful at this football thing in every sense.

[Dewey 5]

Reich & Ballard both should be out. It’s over. Done.

[YDFL Commish]

If Frank's wife is smart, she has Two Guys and Truck parked in front of the house.

The defense is doing what they can but the offense isn't giving them any motivation/hope. Get it going and have Sam run and move. Even if/when he fucks up at least it's exciting. They're a mausoleum out there.

It really doesn't bother me that the field goal was missed, this team is never going to score 10 more points!

[Brylok]

Boring as fuck. Get the young QB moving. We aren't going to win probably anyway, just get them some experience. Tombstone out there so far and it doesn't need to be. Smh

[nate505]

So, odds of the first play of the 2nd half being a run up the middle?

[HoosierinFL]

Switching to rye whiskey for the 2nd half

[nate505]

I should have said 100%.

Looks like we made some great adjustments at halftime!:rolleyes:

[nate505]

Hahaha, that group of fucking clowns is the highest paid OL in the NFL.

[Thorgrim]

155 yards of total offense for two teams?

[YDFL Commish]

Ehlinger isn't even bothering to look downfield. He's just taking off on ever drop back.

[rm1369]

Completely untrue. His coaching has regressed into a level that's hard to comprehend. This is about the only drive where he hasn't run up the gut two times in a row.

Yeah the previous complaints was that he was pass happy, now it’s that he’s run happy. It used to be that he gambled so much and now it’s that he’s to conservative. It used to be that he ran all kinds of “gadget” plays and now that he’s to vanilla.

Here is the reality - if team does well, Ballard is a genius. If they struggle, it’s on Frank. Try to run behind your supposed HOF guard and highly paid C and you are an idiot. Don’t try and you are an idiot.

You can’t run an offense of any fucking type with the OL playing this shitty. Especially with a QB making his 2nd start, backup RBs, and TEs that don’t catch. Not sure why that’s so hard to understand

[CletusPyle]

Embarrassing performance.....again!

It's more that you're an idiot when you try it 10-12 times in a game and the play result is exactly the same. A 1-2 yard gain.

At some point you have to try something different.

[ChoppedWood]

Grover gotta be 1st team all NFL!

[Luck4Reich]

Damn Frank is still here...... Lol

[Brylok]

Ehlinger isn't even bothering to look downfield. He's just taking off on ever drop back.

Coaching is so poor. Offense line doesn't give a shit. Sad to see

[ChoppedWood]

Okereke- doing it again!

[nate505]

Hey, a piece of good luck. Amazing!

[CletusPyle]

Maybe this will wake up the offense?

[nate505]

All right, let's see two runs up the middle for 2 yards and an incomplete pass on 3rd down.

[Luck4Reich]

Here we go..... Ignore Frank and just call your own plays Sam!!!

[Spike]

Ehlinger isn't even bothering to look downfield. He's just taking off on ever drop back.

That's all due to the offensive line.

[Brylok]

I haven't heard Leonard's name all day

[CletusPyle]

I haven't heard Leonard's name all day

He's calling himself Johnson now.....

[ChoppedWood]

Well there went Jackon's season.

[nate505]

Well fuck, there goes Jackson.

[rm1369]

Well fuck, there goes Jackson.

I’m waiting to hear how Frank is at fault

[HoosierinFL]

Hats off to Jackson for sacrificing himself just to fight for a couple extra yards.

[ChoppedWood]

I’m waiting to hear how Frank is at fault

There are about 20% of the bad things that happen that aren't due to Frank. This happens to be one of them.

The other 80%, are because Frank Reich sucks at football.

[ChoppedWood]

Man that is fantastic to see him running over there!

[Brylok]

He's calling himself Johnson now.....

His momma named him Clay, imma call him Clay.

[CletusPyle]

These plays aren't surprising anyone!

[Brylok]

Need a TD on this drive

[rm1369]

These plays aren't surprising anyone!

Guess he should have ran up the middle.

[nate505]

Who couldn't see that sack coming.

[nate505]

Hey, it's not a shutout at least.

[ChoppedWood]

Oh my GOD- surely Smith was not supposed to double down on the under tackle right? If so, man please just fire every single person on the offensive staff. If that was the communication and the call was to leave Deon singled up on Judon coming off the edge- FIRE EVERY MOTHERFUCKER OUT THERE!!!

[nate505]

They're making it way too easy for them. I don't even understand how that happens.

[rm1369]

Whatever doesn’t work is obviously a stupid call. I wonder why I didn’t see complaints on the two runs that picked up firsts on that drive? Because they worked. Strange…

Seriously, the announcers call out Jackson but I think he really was supposed to block the middle and Smith was supposed to have Judon on the outside, what the actual fuck was that?

[Brylok]

Get rid of of the entire offensive line in the off season. Disgusted by them
