What are your opinions of the Colts signing Deion branch? Do you think it is a ruse ?

I don’t know how much use he can be, on and off the field. He’s been out of football since last season, and caught just 16 balls last year for the Pats. Much of the Pats roster has changed since he was last in Foxboro.

I guess as far as tendencies and preferences he might be able to give them some insight into the Pats’ offense as a whole, but I’d guess those things would be apparent on tape as well.

Funny thing to me is that just the appearance that the Colts are trying to play some games with the Pats might give the Pats a more motivational edge than any information Branch might provide.

Andrew Luck poses versatile threat to New England Patriots | masslive.com

Good stuff…

New England needs to be careful in how they create those opportunities, as Luck completed 53.7 percent of his passes for 1,184 yards with nine touchdowns and three interceptions this season when blitzed. So perhaps the best way to attack him is with a standard four-man rush with someone spying him to make sure he stays in the pocket. But either way, the Indianapolis quarterback has proven that he will be a worthy adversary for Tom Brady this weekend. Which is how the Patriots seem to be approaching this game.

Andrew Luck will remember what happened the last time he was in Foxboro. The score was 59-24. Andrew Luck gave the ball away multiple times. The Colts will put points up on the board. So will the Patriots. Whichever defense makes more big plays to give their offense extra possessions will win this game.

And the injuries just keep on coming…

Per the tweet below, the Patriots just announced that Spikes is done for the year with a knee injury. Somewhere someone can tally up all the injuries, I’m done with doing that for this year at least.

Looks like our boy Dane Fletcher suddenly becomes a key figure to any Super Bowl run. I guess against the Colts and Broncos (more passing teams than running) it works out a bit in the Pats favor. But Spikes gutted it out as long as he could I guess. Another tough break in a year full of them. His presence will be missed, and the excuse machine is primed and ready to start spitting them out if/when the Pats bow out.
