A pending Raider win is key to Green's firing & a bette coach in Arizona. Arizona's new QB coach will be an improvement.
So much for that theory-the Colts have proven they were right in getting new RBs, their line's looking good as is the kicker. Combine that with added experience and they might have their most solid team by the time the playoffs arrive.
That is not a theory, They have improved their running game yes. But they have had problems stopping the run every game including today against the skins. They have had defensive problems all season. They have a good team but it is not as good as the Colts teams of past years. They have yet to be tested defensively by a very good team. All of there wins aside from the texans game(who are terrible) has been by 3 points or less (not counting today against the skins). That is a low margin for a team with the offensive weapons they posses. That secondary has yet to be tested . That will be done by Denver and the Pats. If they can improve the defense as a whole you may be right. but they do have alot of holes you do not see becuase they have not played anyone to expose them yet. Denver should be a good test for them.There defense lost a few jey players also. They are not as strong as colts teams of the recent past. Couldent win in the big game then and I do not think they will this year either. Manning mad a fantastic throw today to Harrison. They do have a very high powered offense I must admit! They also have some great recievers. I agree Vinatari is a GREAT clutch kicker. His one weakness is kickoffs.
The Patriots passing offense had a huge game today. Brady made some beautiful throws. Gabriel and Jackson looked great today. Finally have there timing and made an impact. The running game is excellent with Dillon and Maroney. The secondary has been playing well. The defense is very good as a whole. The d line is one of the best if not the best front 4 in the league. The offensive line is also very good. Special teams has been playing well also.
I honestly think with he improving passing game the Pats are one of the most balanced if not most balanced team in the league. They where really only missing the pass. The offense was very good and they where winning and scoring points. But they needed the passing game to improve to spread the field. Brady was not playing well and limited time with the receivers was hurting them. But today showed what they can do when things are clicking. It will only get better also.
5 and 1 with a tough vikings game next week!
