For the Colts game, I agree with DSA, Jones needs to get a pass rush on Luck. It was almost as if he was there to just occupy an offensive lineman against the Ravens. If Luck has time, he will find open receivers; he's playing on another level right now. I think Collins may ball out this game; I believe this stat line from Saturday was something like 11 tackles, two passes defensed, one quarterback hit and the nullified strip-sack. I'm pretty confident in the secondary against the Colts' receivers, for the most part. It's the tight ends I'm most worried about.
On the offensive side, pound the rock, but let Gronk eat as well. I feel like Brady is clicking with the receivers now and if Amendola can be a factor, I think that makes a huge difference, at least in regards to another guy who can reel in passes, get first downs and move the ball down field. Healthy Gronk, the running game, Jules, Dola, LaFell and Vereen in the flats is a lot to have to worry about.
With how resilient this team was against the Ravens, I think they go into this game against the Colts feeling confident in each other, confident in BB and confident in Brady. Not that they haven't been, but winning that type of game is special I think and the type of win that gives you the momentum to get to a Super Bowl.
