The Patriots play their tenth game of the year at Lucas Oil Stadium against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday November 16 at 8:30 PM.
Welcome back! Everybody rested and ready after the bye week? All those little nagging injuries healing up? Great! Let's jump right into it.
I thought they had a chance to beat the Broncos last game... But I never thought it would be a 22 point thrashing. That was great to watch.
Game Ball to Julian Edelman. He's fast.
Darrelle Power Rankings:
1) Revis
Here's five guys on defense I'll be watching this week:
1) Dominique Easley - Easley was in and out of practice all week. With Chandler Jones still on the shelf, now would be a good time for Easley to step up. I'm guessing "lingering knee issues" aren't fun when you're 290 pounds...
2) Vince Wilfork - ...and coming back from a torn achilles at 325 (350? 360?) must be even harder. I'll admit... I was in the "cut him" camp last offseason. But he's playing way better than I expected coming off of last year's injury. I'm happy to admit I was wrong.
3) Dont'a Hightower - Appears to be handling the move to inside linebacker much more smoothly this season.
4) Rob Ninkovich - Sweet interception against Peyton, Ninky. You're alright in my book.
5) Brandon Browner - I'm starting to see the benefit of having a Big Bully out on the edges. But it also feels like you could throw a flag on him on almost every play.
Did Michael Hoomanawanui have a catch last week?
Nope.
Was Aaron Dobson active last week?
Nope.
Danny Amendola Reception Tracker:
Amendola now has 9 more receptions than I do for the season.
My prediction: Pats 34, Colts 31
*****
This year, we're going to have regular contributions from Fake Bill Belichick for your reading pleasure.
Had a little extra room in the schedule over the bye week. Watched E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial. It gets a little sad at the end. Emotions and whatnot.
That's what it was like when Vinatieri left the Patriots after the 2005 season.
I knew he couldn't stay forever. But I was still sad to see him go.
(Tom cried like Drew Barrymore. Both when watching the movie and when Vinatieri left.)
I'm not saying I'd do things differently. I'm not real big on regret. There's no point. Move forward.
And besides. Gostkowski has been a great asset for our team. No complaints there.
But Adam meant a lot to our team. It'll be tough seeing him out there in a Colts uniform on Sunday.
True story.

That was a hell of a catch.
