And Pagano says: He takes responsibility. Wanted to shift and get them misaligned or having to scramble for replacements and grab the two or three yards. Yeah, even if that would have somehow worked it was still idiotic. Really one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.

Alright what NFL team wants to step up and beat the Patriots this season Jets next week. 5-0 vs. 4-1. Jets might actually eek out a win in this one.

Yeah, he can try and spin it however he likes, he knows like everyone else, that's going down as one of the dumbest on purpose plays in the history of football. I hope any time it's ever attempted again in someone's backyard game it's called the "Colt -45"

It was an illegal formation in the first place.

Plays like that make you wonder about coaches gambling. That was what I was thinking as well. Is someone on the sideline worried about covering the spread or something? RING! RING! JUANITO!

I bet that play looked amazing when he drew it up with crayons on a napkin.

People can hate the Patriots for both legit, and arbitrary reasons. I know their success rubs people the wrong way. That said, nonsense like that ridiculous playcall last night is a big reason why they're elite. Aside from a few hiccups (4th and 2 anyone?), they just don't make asinine mistakes like that

It was an illegal formation in the first place. It would have been a legal formation if EVERYONE had not shifted. They needed to leave someone left of center and someone forgot their assignment. Pat McAfee (special teams captain), Griff Whalen, Colt Anderson, or someone on the coaching should have figured that out and kept them from snapping. No one did. While that handlful of players should have known better than to snap when the formation was set up wrong, that really was a coaching issue.

The maddening thing if I'm an Indy fan is that until that play, the Colts had a pretty damn good gameplan going.
I don't know what it is about most teams puking all over themselves when playing the Patriots in big games, but the only team that really seems to know the right way to play them, and the team I fear is Baltimore. Honestly, if Baltimore were to come into New England in January, I don't care if they finished 8-8 or that they're beaten up......I'd be scared

That was some straight up TNA bullshit on that play last night. Getting some momentum, hanging in there and they just totally TNA'd it up by making an idiotic decision.

I've got a handful of thoughts about last night's 34-27 victory for the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots.
- Yes, I obviously wanted the Patriots to go for the jugular. Yes, I obviously wanted them to put 60 on the scoreboard and force every Colts player, coach, executive, and fan to leave Lucas Oil Stadium with their tails tucked between their legs. Unfortunately, it didn't happen. But a win is a win and whether it's 60-27 or 34-27, the Patriots won. It's hard to get too frustrated when you go into a rival's home stadium on national television and depart with a victory, because they don't hang banners for moral victories. (Then again, these are the Colts we're talking about, so...)
- I'll give credit where credit's due, though. The Colts, for the first time since Peyton Manning was on the roster, showed that they have some semblance of a spine when playing the Patriots. They didn't roll over and quit, they didn't get run over for 200 rushing yards. They fought and clawed to the end but they happened to be facing a far superior team.
- All that said, the hideous fake punt play call was a prime example of what happens when a bad team is poorly coached and is showing signs of desperation. That's a play call that should've never left the practice field. It was a six-point game late in the third quarter and that moronic decision swung momentum in the Patriots' favor. If you're going to go for it on 4th and 3 from your side of the field, just go for it. Send Andrew Luck out there and have him try to find an open receiver. Don't run a play that has literally a zero percent chance of succeeding.
- The Colts spent all week refusing to say the word "Patriots". Well Tom Brady gave them the Heisenberg treatment. 312 yards and three touchdowns on what most would consider an off game for Brady.
- Speaking of people who deserve recognition, while the lion's share of attention will be devoted to his amazing field goal block, Jamie Collins on a national stage proved why he is quickly becoming one of the best linebackers in the game. I said coming into the season that if he continued to progress, he'd be mentioned right alongside Luke Kuechly and Bobby Wagner as the top tier of linebackers in football, and through the fifth game of the season, he's done nothing to prove me wrong.

That fake punt "play" and the formation that attempted it was the most inept thing I've seen from an NFL team since the Buttfumble.

This game swung massively after Damontre Moore's boneheaded roughing penalty on what would have been a three-and-out. If he doesn't hurl Sam Bradford into the turf, the defense gets off the field still holding a 7-0 lead. Instead, it's now 14-7.

Despite some turnovers, the Giants didn't wait until the 4th Quarter to play like dogshit.

Well, if the game was one drive, the Giants would have won. Instead, they're playing like blind old ladies, game over.

Kudos to Eli not being afraid of the dark and actually scoring against the Blackout Eagles this year.
