New England @ Indy Game Thread!

[H8R]

Well, this should be a classic game with two divisional leaders blasting it out for 4 quarters. I think Brady and company give the Colts a BIG L this week!
The young corners of Indy are going to be exposed this week.

[AwakenTheDemon]

Maybe so, but Indy does have a beast of a defensive line. Just put some pressure on Brady and make him rush to make the pass. However that pass to Moss was great, made the most of that gap in the coverage. I don't see Brady and company walking away with a win here, though. Manning has a knack for picking up the slack, when the defense struggles.

[H8R]

NE has a better running game and an equal passing game. I still give NE the nod, mainly because of Indy's lack of a running game. If they can't work any sort of play action, the Colts are dog food.

[Ravenglenn]

Why can't we have a receiver like Moss?

[H8R]

Moss is simply the best in the game. Not Fitz, not Wayne... MOSS!

Not to mention, there is only one Randy Moss.

[JO_75]

I give the nod to Indy and see Indy at 9-0 when they came to Baltimore next week. I think the Colts defense will win this game for the Colts. Ok how is it every year the Patriots and Colts get to play each other? The Football gods must like the Manning vs Brady storyline but come on every year it happens. I would for once like to see a season where the Colts and Pats don't play during the regular season.

What's better for the Ravens, a Colts team coming off a loss to NE who just lost their first game of the year or a Colts team coming off a big win against NE? Personally for me, I wouldn't want to play the Colts coming off a loss as the Colts will be looking to get back in the win column, which I'm sure Manning will be determined to win. I'd much rather play the Colts coming off a huge win looking to be 10-0 and for the Ravens to hand the Colts their first loss and drop them to 9-1.

[H8R]

Well, this may get ugly quick. Pats are driving AGAIN! Already up by 10, 17 could be huge!

[H8R]

Colts are getting the beat down, 23-7 NE.

Randy Moss is great but lets not forget the Colts are down 3 DB's right now. A team doesnt need Randy Moss to take advantage of them.

[FerrariFan87]

Neither team winning helps us since they're both leading their division, but I don't wanna see Peyton Manning and the Colts after a loss, so I hope they squeak by with a win.

It depends. In the Colts case, I'd rather have them coming off a loss because then you've got a good solid blueprint to beat them. If they were 8-1, going into this game, I'd agree but their holes havent been exposed. We've got a much better chance of exploiting those holes once someone else has found them than we do finding them ourselves. Check the Bronco's and Giants.

I can almost guarantee you that Moss' production this week will be better than Mason, Clayton and Heap combined next week.

[JO_75]

Wow, Tom Brady is picking apart the secondary. I didn't think the Colts would be exposed this much, 24 consecutive points. I think The Patriots are giving us the blue print to be the Colts next week, keep Manning off the field and expose the secondary with deep passes for completions. Kelly Washington, Todd Heap, Mason all could have big days, and that's just based off what Brady is doing. If Flacco and the offense can do this next Sunday and control the clock with the run game and expose the secondary Ravens may come away with a W over Peyton Manning and the Colts.

We will see.

[H8R]

Ok, the Colts are back in it now. Brady is going to answer I can feel it. They go for the jugular, thats BB style.

[H8R]

Man, they had a guy wide-open deep on the seam. If the o line would have held.

[PuRock]

This game is giving me fits.

I was up by 17 points in FF. The other guy has Tom Brady and I have Dallas Clark and Mason tommorrow. Brady is just whopping ****** in Fantasy. And the Patriots are keying in on Clark.

[H8R]

I sat Brady and played Joe this week. It was a gamble, hope it works out. Moss already has 24 pts for me though.

[PuRock]

Tom Brady is like Mr. GQ on over magazine cover. While Peyton is in full football gear.

Tom Brady is a tool. I can't stand the guy.

[H8R]

I'm not much of a fan, but he is a good GREAT QB.

Yeah same thing is happening to me. I had a 13 point lead going into tonights game in one of my Yahoo fantasy leagues and I have Dallas Clark and Matt Stover who are playing now. My problem is that this guy has Brady, Moss and Welker on the SAME team. That's going to combine for a lot of points. My only players left after Clark and Stover is Ray Rice and the Baltimore Defense. I'm going to have to hope Manning comes back and finds Clark for a TD or two and Stover kicks some FGs and hope I'm in good reach where Ray Rice and the Ravens Defense can win me my matchup by a few points. I'm in good position to make the playoffs and I don't want to start losing now.

And I thought I was bad off in my game. Bad News is the Patriots are focusing all efforts on Clark.

I wish I could say the same about Tom Brady.

The Colts haven't faced that much *great* competition. They are getting brought back to earth.

Too bad the Saints didn't lose to the Rams. That was almost classic.

[H8R]

Yea, no kidding Brees has been having slow starts, the Saints are going to get beat.

The Colts have not faced any great competition at all this year until tonight. They get to continue their trip down easy street for the rest of the year too. Lol, I'm jealous of their schedule.

The Colts aren't exactly getting whooped though, so I wouldn't say they've been "brought back to earth" just yet.

I forgot about Ray Rice so I have to hope Clark and Stover come up big in the second half and Rice has a huge breakout game in Cleveland and gets 150+ yards rushing with like 3 TDs and the Ravens defense to get some sacks, pick sixes, Interceptions and fumbles for me to have any chance at winning. Right now I'm behind 23 points and I'm sure by the end of the game I'll be down by 35-45 points depending Dallas Clark and Matt Stover.
