Reading the coverage: Mathis to miss game

I have the AFC South's blog on my RSS Feed and I saw the Headline, Mathis to miss game and I freaked out. Luckily it's not Robert Mathis, it's Rashean Mathis.

NFLN Colts/Pats Replay Open Game Thread

MarkFive05 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:01:29 -0000

Some people expressed interest in having an "Open Game" Thread for the replay that is just now starting. Well here it is!

Keys to the game:

The Colts need to limit the big plays by Brady and Moss.

They need to get pressure on Brady and protect Manning.

It's always a close game between the Colts and Patriots so they need to play a full 60 minutes.

Most importantly, Bullitt need to stop Faulk short of the first down when Belichick goes for it on 4th and 2.

Go Colts!

Game Thread Chat: I'm calling you out!

That's right I'm calling all of you out! You unfaithful dogs you! Oh and other quotes that I found funny. I separated the quotes into two categories and they go in chronological order. It's too much for me to try to sync them up with what was going on in the game but I'm pretty sure you can guess. I don't mean to put any of you "on blast" or anything. I just find it amusing. I know you all are die hard Colts Fans. My comments are in bold.

MarkFive's 5 Points

MarkFive05 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 03:29:27 -0000

I know that emiller17 just posted his 5 bigs things, but I was working on this earlier. There were many good points that I can take from the game and along with that some bad points. Here is what I take from this perfect 8-0 Texan win.

1. Our Defense won the game. Plain and simple, the Colt's defense won this game. Yes that it right, you didn't read this wrong. In close games the outcome is usually determined by who has the ball last. Who had the ball last in this game? Not the Colt's offense. And give major credit to Caldwell in having trust in his defense to win the game for him. But do not forget to give even more credit to Coyer for implementing the little wrinkles that had Brackett blitz causing the Session INT. To be completly honest in the Dungy-Meeks led years, I beleive the Texans would win that game 9 out of 10 times. This defense is doing excatly what it is designed to do: create turnovers and get the other team off the field (most the time).

2. Execution in the 3rd quarter. Our execution in the 3rd quarter is killing us. The Offense is having 3 and outs and our Defense cannot get off the field. We ran 3 plays this 3rd quarter.

3. Short yardage running. It is finally here! We can finally effectively run for short yardage! Well we could this game. I beleive taking Pollack out helped, as we finally able to run right for positive yards. It was nice to see Addai score a rushing TD.

4. Play calling or execution. We left many points on the field today: kicking fgs instead of TDs while we were in the redzone, it almost cost us the game. I'm not sure which one it was to blame, the play calling or just the execution of those plays. There a number of dropped passes.

5. Johnson and O-line. We all gave Caldwell a ton of heat for benching Ugoh out of the blue and starting the whipping boy, but that whipping boy has grown up and is a much than competent starter. He finally benched Pollack and our running game improved. The Texans have a ferious pass rush and we surrended a couple sacks today, but i don't remember too many rushes going for negative yards. I also noticed Manning has definately lost some mobility in the pocket. When the pressue got close Manning went down fast, probably to avoid injury. Not sure how much I like that, the part about Manning losing mobility. Now if only we can get Caldwell to look into Ugoh playing some RG/RT.

Extra Credit. Da Roof Da roof Da roof is on fire! Once again the roof was open, once again (I beleive) the Colts suffered by losing the ball in the sun in the Red Zone. I believe that if the Texans won the toss the Colts would of defended that goal instead of playing into it. In the future though they really should look into just keeping it closed.

Dungy to Rest Players?

MarkFive05 — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 14:47:54 -0000

In the past couple years the Colts have wrapped the their playoff spot early and couldn't do any worse/better and traditionaly Dungy would rest the starters. In this game where so much is based upon timing and coordination, resting our starters have proved to be detremental to how the Colts performed in the playoffs.

With a win tonight the Colts will have wrapped up their playoff spot, #5, and can not get a better/worse spot. So do you think that Dungy will rest Manning, Freeney, and all the other important cogs that drive our team? Or maybe play spoiler and try to get Tennessee into a favorable (for the Colts) playoff matchup?
