The Official Patriots vs Colts Playoff game thread

[livinginthe past]

Didn't the Colts player hot it from the 2 yard line through the EZ?

That is a touchback.

What am I missing here?

Dierdorf is wrong I think. I'd rather take the safety than give the Colts the ball near the goal line. Right?

Dierdorf is drunk at his retirement party. 2 is better than 7.

I actually prefer this, over our chances of a goal line stand.

Good job. I'll take this.

yes. And Allan got very lucky there.

 

[Crononaut]

Hmmm.

Given the ball sailing do within our 5, I think a safety was the best thing we could hope for.

Odds are they would have scored a TD, and 99.5% they'd at least get a FG.

Now we allow 2, but are kicking it away, where we have a good chance at stopping them.

Shouldn't that have been an incomplete pass, turnover on downs?

Question:

Why is it a safety and not a touchback when it was a Colts player who knocked the ball through the back of the end zone?

Because Colts didn't have possession.

 

[I am party]

Colts player batted it through the endzone, that a safety or touchback?

Yeah why wasn't that a touchback?

 

[BradyToAmendola]

LS better be on IR after the game or something.

Also, as a punter, you knock that ball out of the back of the endzone for the safety every time. Don't listen to Dan.

ffs Dennard and DMAC:bricks::bricks::bricks:

 

[pwes]

Dierdorf is an idiot. Does he actually hear whats coming out of his mouth?

 

[Delicate Genius]

Dierdorf has completely lost his mind.

 

[PATRlOT]

WTF

He would have had the INT!

STUPID MISTAKES

 

[Fencer]

Dang. Missed opportunity for an INT.

mccourty stupid

Colts never possessed it. Safety is the right call.

 

[Bhelmet]

Nothing like McCourty breaking up the INT - REGROUP - PLEASE!!!

 

[heavyde050]

That was a fumble - doesn't a fumble through the end zone come out to the 20?

Only if the defense recovers then fumbles it out of the end zone

Needed to intercept that

 

[PATRlOT]

Need a stop here. Would be huge to get the ball back and get a TD or FG before the half AND get the ball back to start the 3rd

 

[ahmed]

Collins is going to be a superstar
