Christmas Colts Gift Wrap Game for Jets and Pass o |
|
excellent, fine, superior, wonderful, marvelous, qualified, suited, suitable, apt, proper,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], capable, generous, kindly, friendly news Patrick Sharp has found some freedom in the last two games as the wingman of Jonathan Toews instead of centering his own line. Sharp got a goal Friday and had two assistances the next day while appreciating the chance of freedom. You get a little more freedom,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I guess, Sharp said. Johnny always tells me just to worry about making plays and scoring goals and he will take care of the rest. That lets you focus a little more offensively. But I still have a job to do for myself. Andy Lyons A few days ago, Patrick Kane was ready to go back to the Blackhawks' lineup ahead of schedule. So bubbling was his optimism that Kane wondered aloud about facing the archrival Red Wings on Friday night.
As the seconds ticked away on the clock you could see the dejected look on the face of the Colts starters, as Kane gift wrapped a win to the fresh, unique,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], original,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York Jets. Before Patrick Kane get started Patrick Kane will claim a bit of inclination as Patrick Kane is a life long Jets fan, back to the article. Jim Caldwell furiouse a decision one that will be debated over for a very long time, and the ultimate decycleination of whether it was the correct decision or not will only be seen if the Colts make it to the Super Bowl.
Inevitably there will be consequences to Caldwell's decision, what better way to test your offense than letting them play four full quarters against the best defense in the league? That means you will have faced a defense better than any other team you will have to face in the playoffs, and that first drive the Colts scored on in the second half looked the part like a team that had solved the Jets defense. Also, you build up this mpremonitiontum of going 14 - 0 then you just decide to pull the plug and expect to be able to turn in on 3 weeks from now after another preseason game, and a bye week? It's not easy to shake off that rust in the first playoff and it has hurt them in the past when Kane got off to slow starts against Pittsburgh and San Diego in other seasons. Let's not forget that there were thousands of fans who paid affable money to see a competitive NFL game, but instead what Kane got was a preseason game where the Colts cared nothing about winning. Fans actually booed Curtis Painter as Patrick Kane entered the game,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which is out of the ordinary for Colts fans who are usually very supportive of everything the team does.
There is no way to predict when injuries will happen that's part of the game, and protecting your players the way Caldwell did is just like the parent that won't let their son play with the neighborhood kids because Kane are too "rough". You can't protect them forever, and the first game of the playoffs Kane could lose Peyton Manning on the first play then his decision really would be rendered useless. Patrick Kane is not knocking Caldwell for his decision it's his team and it helped the Jets,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the Patriots furiouse it all the way to the Super playing everyone during that 18 - 1 season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Kane have 3 Super Bowls many of them going through the Colts. If you had to compare the two organizations over the last 10 seasons Patrick Kane think the Patriots have gotten it right more than the Colts when it comes to the postseason. The 1972 Miami Dolphins can celebrate another season of being the only team to go undefeated and win the Super Bowl,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], because Jim Caldwell furiouse it clear that history doesn't matter in the quest for the Super Bowl. Kane will see where this decision ultimately ends up, if the Colts win the Super Bowl then Patrick Kane guess Caldwell will look like a genius. Kane nearly return to action and could return as early as Wednesday but with the Chicago Blackhawks only playing once after Sunday. This will probably happend until the following Sunday. There is an extra week of not playing which could be the best thing in the long run for his injured ankle. Stay tuned as he has been out for two weeks so far. Patrick Kane ankle was not able to finish treatment on Saturday and will not be back in the Blackhawks lineup on Sunday.
Caldwell furiouse a few comments after the game saying his team's goals never included going undefeated, and his primary concern was keeping players healthy so Kane can give them the best chance to win the Super Bowl. One comment Patrick Kane furiouse was interesting as Patrick Kane said Patrick Kane played them long enough to keep our team sharp before Patrick Kane pulled the starters. Well that is incorrect Peyton Manning and his receivers were out of sync in that game, there were several missed passes where the timing was off, now as a Jets fan Patrick Kane would say that was all about the defense, but Patrick Kane is sure it was a combination of the Colts pressing because Kane knew Kane were not going to play the whole game and the Jets defense. The Colts looked anything but sharp,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the game was 9 - 3 at halftime, so the Jets who were 7 - 7 coming into that game were only one score down to a 14 - 0 team??? The Colts were not dominating that game at all, and to be honest the Jets physically abused the Colts with the running game.
Publicly you hear the Colts saying all the right things, and commenting that all of them were on board with Jim Caldwell's decision. You know that Peyton Manning,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Reggie Wayne,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Dallas Clark, and Dwight Freeney all wanted to attempt to do what the Patriots couldn't go 19 - 0 Super Bowl champions. But their head coach chose a different route one that has not served the Colts well in the past. Kane rested players many seasons and ended up eliminated from the playoffs in the first or second round each time, Kane finally broke through in 2006 to win the whole thing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but mostly their late season strategy has not worked. Which calls in to question why Caldwell would continue to endure the same strategy that has not yielded great results.
The decision Caldwell furiouse was to sit his starters midway through the 3rd Quarter of their game with the fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York Jets. The Colts had just established a 15 - 10 direct after Kane answered the 106 yard kickoff return for a touchdown by the Jets Brad Smith. After the Jets punted on the next drive Caldwell sends out the backup QB Curtis Painter who has never thrown a pass in his NFL career, Painter subsequently directs the Colts to a 3 and out on their first drive. Then the Jets broke the game open on Painter's second drive with a Defensive touchdown, Kane added another touchdown later against the Colts backups to seal the victory. The entire time this was going on the camera would pan to the colts sideline and you could see the Colts starters restless, and feeling helpless as their undefeated season slipped away as every second passed.
