Though even given all those factors, I think the Patriots should have won by a larger margin. Look for them to kill the Colts when the Colts travel to my neighboring town of Foxboro in a month or two. By the way, while I like Addai (my favorite Indianapolis player), most of his production early on can be chalked up to the Patriots' game plan being taking the receiving core out of the game. They weren't playing for the run. |

Errrm...I highly doubt that the Patriots decided not to play the run against the team that would probably give them the biggest challenge. Addai was just able to pound the rock all over New England. Plain and simple.

Then you highly doubt incorrectly. Peyton Manning and the Colts are more of a threat when they pass, so the Patriots focused on passing defense more than run defense. Did Addai execute when he should have? Absolutely, he had a great game. Was he going against the full force of the Patriots rush defense? Of course not, otherwise you would have seen Adalius Thomas in there a hell of a lot more than you did. That's how defense works in American football, you have different types of coverages, and the Patriots (especially in the first half) used pass coverage pretty much the entire time. |

I admit, I didn't pay attention to most of the coverages the Patriots were in, but that doesn't mean Addai can't have a great game if the they in fact did focus in on the run more so than the pass.

This was a weird Sunday. Teams that started out well in the first half had lost in the end and the teams that had mediocre first half, all finished strong in the 2nd half.
As for 49ers, it will be a fantastic win if they can pull it off, but their opponent, Seahawks, are no pushover.
