1. Agree that it was the right call, though maybe the wrong play
2. Give me Gonzo and give him to me now!
3. Imagine what we can do once Hayden returns!
4. I feel confident about the Ravens, a little less so about the Texans, but love the way our team kept their minds in the game and never gave up the fight.
5. I still think the Dolphins will give the Pats a run for their money (oh please please please please please)

I saw him on the sidelines last night, don’t know if this was mentioned, but I don’t remember seeing him around in past weeks. Hopefully this is a small sign that he’s getting close.

Last night he did drop that one pass that was right on the numbers and the other target that he didn’t catch was thrown wide by Manning. Collie was targeted 8 times and caught six of them. And some of those catches were for important first downs. Not to bad.
Garcon has been Mr. Butterfingers. He was targeted 11 times and he caught only 3. I mean come on. Give Collie that many throws and he catches for over 100 yards.

Too inconsistent, makes some unbelievable catches but misses on a lot of gimmies. A very frustrating player because Manning is forced to go back to him but we never know what we are going to get.

I agree that Gonzo being back will bring more consistency to the offense which is all we need. I love those 10+ play drives that methodically move the ball downfield and result in a TD.

1) The roof being closed helped pump up the team. Caldwell said it after the game. It was LOUD in there!
2) I think Garcon grew up a bit this game. He felt the sting of the drops and penalties and kept his head up and ran an AMAZING Slugo for that TD.
3) The Hoodie didn’t out coach Caldwell as national media is saying. The Pats out executed the Colts for the first 3 quarters. There were openings for the Colts, but they did not capitalize. We all know the game is 60 minutes though.
4) Peyton is in the Hoodie’s head more than the other way around. Nice switch to see. 5 years ago Billy doesn’t go for that!
5) Coyer underwhelmed in person yesterday. Our D looked very vanilla. It was like he was afraid to throw a curve ball at the Pats. I could tell the coverage 3 plays out of 4. I never played QB and if I can tell Brady can tell. I was hoping to see more disguises. I still love that he brought Brackett on the blitz on the last play. Brady only had time for one look because of pressure up the middle.

The thing I like most about the defense this year is that when the game is close or coming down to the wire, they bring pressure and have the ability to play press coverage on the outside to force a quick throw or INT. It happened against Jacksonville, Houston and New England.

This is something we never saw with the Dungy/Meeks defense. I was proud of how they forced the issue towards the end of the game.

It seems that every time Peyton faces a good defense or “brilliant” defensive mind, he struggles for the first half of the game while trying to figure out what the other team is doing. The Colts usually fall behind during this time. But once #18 figures it out, you can almost tell immediately and the Colts start rolling.

Once the Colts start rolling, there is nothing you can do about it. As soon as Manning has you figured out, you are going down. That’s why Bells went for it at the end of the game. It was the only way they were going to win that game because he knew that Manning was going to end it either by going 70 yards or 30 yards.

1. After this game, Garcon will play better. Like the Pierre we all loved from the first games. He will be more confident after that great TD catch and that amazing comeback.
2. Even if I think Garcon will improve, we need Gonzo as soon as possible. Garcon and Collie, as a rookie WR will have drops at times. #11 is just so secure that, together with Reggie and Dallas, they might give Collie and Garcon less passes thrown to them, making them feel less pressure without being constant targets.
3. That stadium roof must stay closed for the rest of the season. It must, but won’t unfortunately.
4. If Freeney is contained, you can always count on Rob Mathis. That guy is just so amazing. He is always running, always trying to make a play and always playing a 110%. So underrated, so great.
5. Addai is playing great football right now. Even with the injury he had, he had a couple TD’s. He was a key in the last drive playing smart football and not trying to reach the endzone (he wouldve reached it if he wanted to).

I don’t need to say Peyton is best QB in the NFL. Everybody knows that. If you don’t, you are just as idiot as those guys who left the Luke before the game ended.

If you think that the division is still up for grabs, we are watching different teams in the AFC South

I love how Harrison and Bruschi disagreed with their ex coach on the “call”.
Everyone is saying Peyton didn’t have a “great” game, in my mind, since we won, it was great enough.
This team fights for 60 minutes. And I think they fed off the crowd.
Speaking of the crowd- the twelfth man really came through, even after Peyton threw his interceptions, the crowd was loud!
Any fan who left early should be ashamed of themselves, and stay home. Free up the tickets for the people who REALLY LOVE this team.

To be honest, the thrashing we took in the first half from Moss was not on the corners, it was primarily on the linebackers and safeties who failed to adjust when Moss moved around. No, Lacey didn’t knock down every pass to Moss, or force a turnover, but when he had Moss in coverage he was right with him, even on the Bethea interception Lacey was right there.

Lacey, like most corners in the NFL, is physically limited in his ability to cover Moss, Johnson, and those kinds of guys due to a massive size disadvantage. Simply put, all things considered, Lacey and Powers had very strong games, and the majority of the coverage blame should fall on the nickel, safeties, and linebackers.

Just my 2cp.
