Patriots at Broncos
Colts made the same mistakes against the Patriots they made against the Chiefs but this time the Pats burried them
under their ground game with 46 rushes--wow.
We learned a few years ago about Coach Belichick's sneakyness. For most of the season he has his team playing
just good enough to win. What happens is that their stats show their performance not their potential. As Bud used to say
"We don't know how good they really are." It may be happening again this season. We'll get to see how good they really
are when they play the Broncos in Denver this Sunday.
Readers of this website know that we like a balanced attack -- running the ball eats time, limits costly INTs and
sacks and helps out your defense. This year's Pats run more than any we've seen--no problem for the Pats on offense.
But they do need to play above their season averages on defense. See the chart below, Opponent Yards per Pass Attempt. The chart
shows many weak performances and they face the league-leading Broncos.
