We'll come out on top."

[3:16]" That kind of game tonight and -- and uncles just made -- it plays and we did. It was a different. So we better chances we just -- Do little bit more -- and."

[3:30]" And long. We'll too many unsuccessful big plays defeated the Patriots last night in the players expressed their thoughts in the locker -- post game. And they are your locker room and that."

[3:45]" North -- of we can do you know that they do you go -- a great job mansion. How we're going to play the game the styles were going to going there I felt like you know as we want to get better. And we were sustained drives of twelve plays -- Glazer. Came on the second half put together another long drive you know Communist it was. It was a good performance -- mean the other they're good defense and get off of what we did a good job of executing our game plan."

[4:10]" They weren't good enough to know what you -- and stop myself. Jacobson plays here and there but overall -- you never prisoners executed. You know we felt so we've played well enough it was a unit. So productive on board. The effects of make corrections and move -- it."

[4:31]" You have judgment calls it -- we deliver them as opposed to just just playing hard and sometimes those things that kind of a blocker. There's premise of blog can never whistled it. Scrutiny that you went --"

[4:50]" Problems so. They can refuse. Collection. He's been -- zone for -- involvement. Of what ovaries and Justin and live from the socialist. It cost us. And it for a loan it made it tough situation. -- Put us politico. And they can that it. I don't know what about three that. We. One that doesn't go through."

[5:27]" If you don't play the game has drawn up on paper like you know you can yet -- of that letter it's that was more. You know split and you gotta get a -- is -- still voluntary.

And then tomorrow yeah some assists."

[6:11]" did you in my head. Pat on the back the 2008 motor trend -- of the year. The drug. Changing at all."

[6:31]" Welcome back to Patriots today Brian Lowe made the trip to Lucas Oil stadium as a closer look at a well played game but a frustrating loss for the major."

[6:40]" While Christina this was a winnable game for the Patriots on the road against the Indianapolis Colts but they fall just short in the locker room after the game the Patriots talked about being frustrated. That they couldn't come through in the end a couple of key situations late in the game that contributed to a defeat for the pats. Here are just frustrated when you lose a game but relaxed and hurt."

[7:01]" The visitors moved the ball offensively with a solid ground game in a short efficient passing attack. Defensively they may have handled the colts' rushing attack and limited the damage that -- he's downfield passing game is capable up. The pats kept it close all the way through against the home team desperate for victory but it was not good enough."

[7:19]" In overall you know we played good football game chemical bush -- holds a little of the veteran leaders. I thought we played pretty well in all areas that they played this. They did just a bit more."

[7:31]" It was also with the Patriots this. Do a series of second half moments some subtle some more obvious -- come in the colts' favor a near miss for the pats and two point conversion attempt. Followed by narrow success for the Colts in the same type of situation. Late in the third down by three a -- she -- fourteen change offensive play Jabar Gaffney in the football fall into the ground separately in the end zone. And then perhaps most disastrous it unnecessary roughness penalty on David Thomas in crunch time veteran third and short into third on fourth and one in Colts --"

[8:02]" He's been a close game like this -- little things that really makes a difference in. I don't really really cost us in the big for them."

[8:10]" He allowed Indianapolis to all the went out the clock."

[8:13]" Six had a game expected was going to come down the fourth quarter and I mean it was a it was a it was a hard bargain -- I don't know to say a game like this. You know had a chance to win and at the end and work out that way. Is this."

[8:26]" The pats felt they played well enough to be six in two rather than 53 when they boarded their overnight charter back to New England. But they also understand that to have lingering frustration over this loss we'll do that no favors moving forward."

[8:38]" That's that's taken in the -- through these games is are the ones that in the NFL you can really strive to two women in the either the tight games and we lost you know -- points and I and we had a great game going and it's not our hats off -- Colts. And we just -- grouping get better for next week."

[8:57]" Paul Perillo Patriots football weekly joining -- on the field here at the spectacular Lucas Oil stadium to close the roof right now is nice night it was open. It was a nice enough -- for the Patriots seem like they've played well enough. To win this game on the road against a pretty good team. -- come through in the and the players like -- for what we -- while light I agree with the players I think it was a frustrating loss obviously I think it's a lot of things well tonight I think the offense played exactly the way the offense needs to play. Especially against the team can move the football at Indianapolis and unfortunately I don't think it took quite enough game to -- Tuesday at redstone. On the team to a field goals early and that kind of hurt them a little bit and obviously into the game. Boils down to blow it very well timed penalties and I still haven't we gotten very good look at Thomas would say this the way the offenses play short passing game. Run the ball fairly well is that we're talking about and is that how they need to do these next three games against the visible well it it's obviously going to change depending on who you play Indianapolis team I think it's capable movement football. And we saw that early tonight really I didn't think it's very strange in the finals -- was in 1915 because I don't feel the defense is on either side really cannot put any stops it seemed like all night both -- did whatever they want it to. But it into the date it was eighteenth fifteen so I think -- deep sense of what needs to take solace in the fact that. They held the points down when I mean by Patriots kind of football. Maybe another shot or two -- like to have seen but. Twelve play drive 1415 play drives clock. Control keeping the defense you know rested and in protecting that secondary it would because let's face it. The injuries are really start to pile up back there and you don't want to get them exposed injuries and sector for both teams really -- the Patriots you know they did the job for the most part when it comes to Harrison. Wayne Clark found itself open a few times as if -- can tell us this time that size two plays are never right corner of the end zone back here against a young -- secretariat -- to. They just have some weapons Brian and it's hard to keep track of them on. -- flooding the field with extra defensive backs when they put -- the idea to wide receivers and don't forget Dallas but it's really wide receiver when he plays he's always split away from the line. So yeah Anthony Gonzales has got to do some damage on the slot and tonight he did it. With the two big plays in the game for the Colts. On the flip side I thought the Patriots defense was outstanding against the run. Despite the fact that they were spread out and sub packages on -- in the nickel defense basically as the base. You would have -- Manning obviously -- just continue to check to runs to the point that we were all. Kind of fun scratching their heads wondering why he continued though that but. Joseph Addai and Dominic Rhodes really got nothing going on the ground that's that means the Patriots defense to play like that. That's going to protect the second. A frustrating loss -- the -- but got a disastrous loss or tie for the for the division but now it's really where they have these next three games against the division. Including Buffalo this week really for the division lead I looked at this five game stretch counting tonight and then the three division games and ending with Pittsburgh they could go three and two in that stretch I would feel. Like they'll probably going to come out of that pretty good shape these three games are enormous now three way tie at first like you said Miami just to gain back -- flight or within winning in Denver today so. Yeah these games become very very big and it's really strange -- talk about Beckett usually divisions about wrapped up by now but a new sheriff in town without Tom Brady around that's right but hey at the midpoint of 53 they still can't not yet be unhappy with that top of the division what -- five point later in the week leading up to the big showdown it's -- showdown at home against Buffalo that's going to wrap it up from Lucas Oil stadium in Indianapolis let's go back now to Gillette Stadium Christina."

[12:25]" They he Bryant and -- up next with the head coach had to sail along with a starting quarterback in white out rainy month certificates they pressed past."

[12:35]" We'll win and we knew it was going to be one of those games where you're gonna have to take what they give yes. And I thought we dig your jobs excuse -- game plans today in the ninth and we're just trying to Demetric Evans and try to move the ball on the field. And we're able to do that throughout the evening and unfortunately. -- in this type of ball game comes on the one possession and they were able to get that last possession moved into the game and we were enables us. Counter that and and we have penalty late tonight that hurt us and then that's mixed makes the -- and I think a lot of -- really down just for the fact that you know let a game like just -- earlier is that. You know when things happen you gotta watch what you say. You know you know just want to get find -- there was some some -- If he calls out there and you know just some of the things that you wish wouldn't happen but like a -- good calls and -- good calls and bad calls -- part of the game so you -- live now with. The good bat. I'm sure we'll go back and look at the play and I don't even know really what happened on the side Dave thomas' does a great player and stand -- guy. And he would never do anything to purposely didn't get hurt this -- so sure it was just one of those players hustle play and it's trend continues what. Didn't look like to scandals and have a lot possessions not. And didn't so. If Nomar went down like two. Yeah that was a significant. Period to -- games. -- from -- I was just trying to give somebody an opportunity you've been and stuff going on the field. And I had to get the ball off fairly quickly there and just try to give them opportunities to catch I don't know the down distance themselves -- ones."

[14:21]" May say what a real true home Lewis they picked it up soft tissue babies and I see your wisdom. Simple as that. You know you really can't let you know won't play each down minutes long season -- a lot lot of football left so. You know think just wanted to the biggest things that we don't do is really embracing each -- you know we're down. And for the fact that mean -- real close to. That's one thing I'd say you got a wife and -- home I have to get bigger -- is your wife and she is man's the only is that stopping you can do."

[14:53]" Up next some numbers on Sunday's game right after it. We'll be right back with more Patriots today."

[15:05]" For years the front brakes on many have done through this -- You want to breaks this big. We know. Standard and of so the -- it's changing at all."

[15:25]" Welcome back to Patriots today despite the -- some Patriots did make some career marks here they are your news and numbers."

[15:38]" Rookie running back then Jarvis Green Ellis scored. Twelve to seven lead on. Exactly. On an eleven yard reception in the second quarter Kennebunkport. 3000. Given the fourteenth player in Patriots history to break. -- ten yard reception in the fourth quarter hit six. Wes Welker tied the NFL record for most games six or more receptions to begin -- he's."

[16:14]" That's all for today will be back tomorrow to wrap up Sunday's game against the Colts we'll see and right here on -- Patriots today."
