FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — On Thursday night we saw what we thought we’d see. The New England Patriots had their way with the Indianapolis Colts 38-24. At least the Andrew Luck and Co. made it interesting for about 10 minutes after going down 24-3 at the half by scoring 21 points down the stretch.
However, that was only a tease because ole Tom Brady cranked up the engine to score 14 points in the fourth quarter to put boyz away. In the process he threw his 500th touchdown pass becoming only the third player in NFL history to do so behind Peyton Manning (539) and Brett Favre (508).
He had this to say about the achievement, “I think all these things like that, milestones, there are so many people that contribute, all the people that have really worked hard,” he said. “A quarterback doesn’t throw to himself. These are all great team awards, pretty cool.”
Brady put on a darn clinic finishing 34/44 for 341 yards and 3 touchdowns with 2 dull picks which neither were his fault. He finished with a passer rating of 102.6. That’s NUTS!!
Bruh…what are we going to do with the Colts this year? They’re 1-4 out of the gate and it doesn’t look to get any better. Andrew Luck is throwing the ball way too much with 59 pass attempts on a shoulder that everybody and their baby’s momma worry about daily. He finished the night 38/59 for 365 yards, 3 touchdowns and 2 dull picks as well for a QB rating of 84.4.
Indianapolis played well enough offensively to win but their defense can’t hold water. Luck connected with 8 different receivers on the road in a hostile environment but it wasn’t enough to get out of the joint with a win. They won in darn near every statistical category but the scoreboard. They finished with more 1st downs, plays, total yards and time of possession. They committed less penalties too. However, they came up short once again.
Obviously, they had a key weapon out with TY Hilton in street clothes but duns like Eric Ebron (9 catches for 109 yards) and Chester Rogers (8 catches for 66 yards) handled their business.
At 1-4 it’s looks to be a long season in Indy already and you know how Colts fans are. By Week 7 the joint will be empty. I’m just keeping it real and you can stop me when I start lyin’!
