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, 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"

I was on the phone so I couldn't pay real close attention but it appears that the Giants were playing pong with the way that they were knocking the ball around(usually to the Eagles)

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. Last night was worse. The buttfumble was hilarious and embrassing for the Jets, but last night's trainwreck of a play was *on purpose* Yeah but people will remember the buttfumble more because, you know, LOLJets.

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. Don't take this personally, but that attitude of yours is why I don't like Patriots fans as a whole in general. Believe me when I say there were a lot of Colts fans who were cringing at the cookies, the deflated football hats, and the airplane banner, and the last thing we need is to do more dumb stuff to make us look bad. That said, I do agree on how that was a hideous play, but until then, the Colts were playing competent football and somehow figured out how to beat the Patriots. But, once you do something that stupid, against the smartest and most clever coach in the NFL, it's gonna bite you in the ass, especially when you have a backup wide reciever/spectacular failure of a punt returner attempt to do a play he's never even tried. If Pagano was a lesser coach, this is firable material, and you know what? If Pagano is let go, this is gonna be one of those reasons to justify that. Stupid decisions are stuck with you for the rest of your life. Ryan Grigson better know that; he traded a #1 pick for Trent Effing Richardson!

I don't take it the wrong way. You're not the first person to tell me that. Hell, you're not the first person to tell me that on this forum within the past few months. I have what most would call a rather abrasive, defensive way of cheering for the Patriots and that was only amplified by this most recent off-season, in which a corrupt league went out of its way to railroad and ruin what should have been seven months of celebrating the franchise's fourth Super Bowl championship. I also embrace wearing the black hat and cheering for the unstoppable villain because my team was such a doormat and a laughingstock for, oh, it's entire existence prior to 2001. If I'm still on the forum in six or seven years when Tom Brady's gone and Bill Belichick's gone and the Patriots are bumbling through yet another 3-13 season, I'll expect to take my lumps for being such a brusque, gruff dickhead for the better part of the last decade.
