Danny Amendola earns praise of Bill Belichick
The Indianapolis Colts ran one of the most inconceivable, poorly drawn out and pathetically executed plays in National Football League history. Either way, this is a big game for both teams as they battle it out for the top spot in the division.
“No. No. Not at all. There’s no doubt about it. To complete 70 percent is hard to do, but I would say that’s, it may reflect on the quarterback, but to me, it really reflects on the entire offense because it’s just, you’ve got to spread it around to different people”. “I’ve talked about that at great length”. I’ve got to be better.
The Colts were playing as if they were sick and exhausted of getting their rear-ends handed to them by New England in the Andrew Luck-era throughout the first-half of play.
Belichick declined the penalty and the Patriots had a short field to work with much to the puzzlement of everyone watching the much-anticipated and surprisingly close game.
“There’s no excuses for me”, he said.
This weekend’s game with the Jets will be a great litmus test on which matchups matter most, as New York has a number of the components we discussed (especially the ability to play man coverage in the secondary, thanks to Darrelle Revis), but certainly not all. “The main point is you feel like crap that you let your team down, but those kind of games are what make you a stronger player in the future”.
How’s this for rubbing it in? This helped the Patriots take a 17-14 lead in the second quarter and softened up the Colts defense as they realized that New England was going to have a few success running the ball. So yes, you read that correctly, even the Patriots’ biggest offensive weakness is better than average. Or would he go for the two-point conversion in hopes of making it 35-21? It’s also possible that Brady wants to prove to everyone how far you can get in life without drinking Coke or eating Frosted Flakes.
On the very next play from scrimmage, Peyton Manning ended Denver’s drought with a 75-yard touchdown strike to Emmanuel Sanders, the longest catch of the Pro Bowl receiver’s career putting the Broncos up 23-20. The Cowboys in particular had a lot of success with this in the first half when their pass-rush got home, but when it doesn’t you can leave yourself susceptible down the field. “That’s extremely important when you see something you’ve never seen before; you can compartmentalized, slow the play down, line up and figure out who your responsibility is”, said Howe. “But it’s a 50-50 decision”.
