Pats Vs Colts

New England's defensive focus seemed to be on shutting down Indy's tight ends - and having an extra defensive back in the game in place of a linebacker made the Colts running game look better than it will look in New England - on a slower track and a windy day...when a little less emphasis will be placed on shutting down the passing game.

I think the Colts need Marvin Harrison healthy and their defense to play another sensational game in order to win in Foxboro.

What do I know though, flipping a coin does as well as I do ATS.

The Pats fans will be way too drunk to remember to quiet down when the Patriots offense is on the field. Windy conditions can change a football game more than any other factor. If the Patriots are going to win in Foxboro in January they will have to do so running the football better than they did yesterday. They are certainly capable of that but are also capable of running even worse when Indy can let the wind aid in defending deep balls to Moss and can focus more on the run and short passing game. And yes, Harrison would certainly be a huge boost for them, they had a lot of costly drops yesterday.

Was this game any good?? Couldn't have been nearly as entertaining as Browns/Seahawks which I advised everyone to watch.

I kinda liked it...it had suspense...intrigue....danger...back and forth stuff...stupid coaching.....ot.




Frankly I don't think either the Colts or the Patties will be in the "super bowl."

Morty, who do you think will win the Afc then. The only other team i could even remotely make a case for are the steelers and frankly, they just are not consistent enough. Losing at home to arizona was ghastly. I just don't think any team can beat the colts in the dome then go beat the pats at foxboro the next week. I would wager a good deal of money that one of them wins the afc.

Well Skipper.....I'm glad you asked that question.



Here's what I do know.The season is half way through.

That leaves another half to go.Then there are the playoffs and records don't matter at that point.

These two teams will be so concerned with each other and all of the awe they are held in that someone else is going to walk off with the AFL crown.






Who..I don't know.

I just don't think so. Both teams sport qb's who are veterans, coaches who have around a while, and players that have tasted success. I think the only team that can beat the colts is the steelers. I think the steelers have a chance to beat the pats but i haven't seen them string a pair of victories together this year that were impressive. Hell, I haven't seen them beat anyone yet. Most of the Afc is mediocre where all but 3 teams in the NFC are. I just don't see how both would lose, unless of course something happens to brady or manning, in which case both teams would crumble.

I highly doubt the Patriots would crumble if Brady went down. They would suffer a bit but still be in the three or four best teams in the league. The Colts might crumble if Manning went down though. Their offense totally relies on his abilities. The Pats offense would work for many QBs (although of course not to the degree of success Brady has had this year).

Then we agree to call each other stupid names.

Half way there.

A little early to crown anyone......I'll bet you my bowl of rice photo neither team gets there.
