And then there was one....

Patriots, undefeated!

How in hell did Indy manage to lose that game???

This just goes to show that you cannot give Tom Brady and the boys so much as a centimeter or they will beat you.

[loafer4life]

I have no idea how Indy lost that game, they were running all over the Pat's in the first half.

That being said... Pat's are 9-0!!!!!!

Brady doesn't get enough credit. He is very cool under pressure.

Tiki Barber said it best when he pointed out that in the second half the Colts were unable to turn opportunities into points. When the Patriots had chances to score, they did so.

Surely he must have said the Cots were unable to turn opportunities into points despite having a much better coach than that useless Tom Coughlin and a much better QB than Eli Manning, both of whom are useless and deserver to be fired from the team, which was much better when he was there, and of course he'd still be playing if it wasn't for those two?

LOL - nice Tiki.

Pats still have seven more games to go. Will they do what Indy did and rest their top guys before the playoffs and risk losing?

Those early drives NEEDED to be touchdowns not field goals. Sure they built up a lead but it was never more than a two possesion game. If the Colts had actually completed those drives and got 7 points each time instead of 3 and a missed field goal then I think the game goes differently. As mont said, Brady is very cool under pressure but only 3 points after two dominating drives isn't really that much pressure.

In previous years the cold and calculating Pats rest their top guys a bit going into the playoffs. This year however, I think their "screw you all" attitude keeps the big guns in the games and they make a serious push to run the table.

140+ penalty yards and still can't finish. Oiy.

Those pass interference calls, certainly the last 2, were absurd. The third (defensive) was ABSOLUTELY ridiculous.

Makes me worry though about the Patriots when they can let one player TRUCK them all game. Addai was unreal.

[utahgolf]

Tom Brady has got to be one of the best quarterbacks under pressure, without a doubt. But I still dont see how Indy managed to throw the game out the window. At home, up with 15 mins left and lose it, arrrggg.

I tend to agree with the pundits who think that Belichick is desperate to go 19-0 this season right through to the Superbowl just as a way of getting back at the NFL for stirring up the video camera thing and suggesting they may have had some influence on his previous Superbowl wins. If he does this, will he then quit?

No.

Everyone in the league used the same cheat which is a sham by the way because you are allowed to film from the press boxes anyway. Also, because of this "cheating" many teams use more than one coach to send in signals, only the players know which one is real. It's like a giant shell game.

The whole issue is WAY overblown and Bellichick is giving the NFL the virtual finger because of it.

I LOVE it!

Then they went away from Addai and lost. Lesson learned.

PS....Denver sucks.

Indy played pretty good considering they didn't have their number 1 receiver, Harrison.

[Lil_Huth]

I still dont like the Patriots but I can respect a good team and a hell of a quarterback. Speaking of that anyone watch the Steelers game last night? If Harisson shows up to the Pats game like that and the rest of our team shows up I think we can give the Pats a run for their money. Steelers just need to stop letting up on their opponents, they gave up on scoring after the first half. That being said I think there is a chance against the Patriots.
