NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 (edited) And your reasoning for your choice if you would. I say Indy simply because they have too many weapons and NE is too banged up in the secondary.

hammerhead johnson Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I'll be rooting for Indianapolis, but I'd put money on New England. What is Belichek's record against Manning, like 7-0? He owns him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowerCaseRepublican Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 New England. A rainy, cold, slop of a field...the edge has gotta go to the Pats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jan 15, 2005 -> 01:47 AM) New England. A rainy, cold, slop of a field...the edge has gotta go to the Pats. SATURDAY: Mostly sunny in the morning...then becoming partly cloudy. Much colder with highs in the mid 30s. Northwest winds around 5 mph. SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows around 20. Northwest winds 5 to 10 mph. SUNDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs around 30. North winds 5 to 10 mph. SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. A chance of flurries in the evening... then snow showers likely after midnight. Light snow accumulations possible. Lows around 20. No rain or slop seems imminent. Indy can handle 30 degrees. I think this is their time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkeyKongerko Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Indy is soft until they prove otherwise. I pick NE for this reason. Supposedly they left the field untarped while it was raining/snowing for undeclared reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backman Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 i like indy, true he is yet to prove himself but if you look at the previous game these two played against each other (in new england) peyton manning had a red zone interception and edge had a costly fumble,yet the colts came within a 1in10 miss feild goal by mikey V, they way i look at it is that the colts hung with NE first game of the year even with turnovers, and a pretty questionable defense, but now with peyton manning fireing on all cylinders and indy's defense helping to with the turnover battle, plus the demised secondary of new england, i feel indy can put a win out of a close game.

ChWRoCk2 Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 i say new england, one because they are home, two because they still have a good secondary being banged up in all and three dorey dillon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is NE's corners aren't defending Indy's corners. Indy's corners could never defend Indy's offense/receivers, so I am not sure how your point is pro-New England?

What do you classify as 'the big game'? Is this 'the big game' since it's at NE again, though it's only the divisional round of the playoffs? Last year he was 1 game from the Super Bowl.

The wide outs are talented, but they rely directly on Manning. The Colts have more talent on offense than anyone in the league...that's where all of their money is invested. They have one impact player on defense...that's it. They have a legendary kicker and a very good punter, but they don't have enough DB or LB depth to have good special teams coverage. They have some serious holes, and that is not Manning's fault. If he loses, it's because of those holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
