Comments on: NFL Game of the Week: Colts at Patriots http://www.scoresreport.com/2006/11/01/nfl-game-of-the-week-colts-at-patriots/ The National Sports Blog Fri, 17 Feb 2012 19:52:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: Anthony Stalter http://www.scoresreport.com/2006/11/01/nfl-game-of-the-week-colts-at-patriots/#comment-10406 Anthony Stalter Thu, 02 Nov 2006 18:33:37 +0000 http://www.scoresreport.com/2006/11/01/nfl-game-of-the-week-colts-at-patriots/#comment-10406 Bay24, Great point about pressure. Denver had this same issue last year as far as getting to the quarterback. The Broncos front four is solid against the run, but they don't have that one guy that can rush the passer (although it looks like the rookie Elvis Dumervil might start being that guy). To compensate, Denver usually mixes up its blitz scheme and often sends linebackers. It appeared that the Broncos didn't want to do that against the Colts, however, in fear of Manning ripping them apart (which happened anyway). As you stated though, Belichick always has a little something planned for Indy doesn't he? -AS- Bay24,

I don't disagree with what you say. I would like to add though - If the Colts don't put pressure on Brady like the Broncos did earlier this year - it will be like Brady playing catch in the parking lot. I hope the Colts were watching the Vikings game last week - and if you play like their defense - you are toast. Belichick will have a game plan as usual. We can argue Peyton vs Brady all day long, but I think we know Coach Belichick is the best out there. Maybe the difference will be the Colts kicker ..... ahh, you know, what's his name ?
