Colts - 20 vs Patsies - 24

[Aikbach]

Eh, put a healthy Colt team on the field that doesn't drop TD passes (Wayne) and the outcome is different.

They'll see each other again, that's why Bellicheck didn't dare and try to run it up this time.

So, did our good friend Nors, wet his pants?

:laugh2:

Probably had to change his panties multiple times.

Probably had to change his panties multiple times.

Yeah, and he's just waiting for the Cowboys to lose tonight!

Actually, the way the games went today, I'm a little worried about this game against the eagles!

 

[dooomsday]

nobody gave indy an asterisk last year when they beat new england without seymour, harrison and wilson.

Off the top of my head I dont remember if maroney played in that game last year either.

so no one should whine about the colts injuries, they were at home. Now they are going to have to go to new england in the cold and beat em and that wont happen.

There were no games last year the Seymour missed. Maroney either. I think Harrison missed the play off game.

No one said anything about an asterisk but I have no problem saying that the lack of Marv was big. Their O was sputtering.

Better team won.

Well, WG, you seem to not think he's a Pats fan. While about 20 other people do. What makes you right, and others not right? Do you know him personally?

Not saying I'm right or others are wrong as to whether he's a Pats Fan. Truthfully, I don't really give a crap if he likes the Pats or not. It's obvious he does. I'm saying, that I'm tired of seeing him making a comment about the game, and 20 people pile on about him being a Pats Fan in various insulting posts. If he was to respond in kind, then that becomes a mod issue. Especially when you got members on here who don't even know the entire history piling on. That's crazy.

So I ask nicely for folks to knock it off.

If you don't, then well you're just making a judgement. So are other people.

Part of modding is making a judgement call as to what's best for the board. So take that FWIW.

Naw that's not called moderation at all. But then again I don't really have time to actually define how to actually moderate for you.

Nor do I have any inclination to debate the point. I think people should stop. Real simple.

Again - no rules broken so ...yeah

Technically no rules are broken, but yet if he responded angrily, your PM box isn't the one that would be getting filled with the nonsense.

Anywho, any further discussion about this should be taken to PMs. I'm off the chat room.

Colts won't beat NE in Foxborough, and neither will anyone else in January.

Yes your right, I thought seymour was hurt but he did play and he had one tackle, wilson wasnt there. DId seymour miss the regular season loss? I forgot seau was missed too.

just checked last year hochstein, grahm, wilson and neal missed the regular season game.

Merrill Hoge is sure hitting on the Cols were without Harrison. I take it he had them to win? Even Ditka said Harrison and Gonzalez missing for Manning is like Moss and Welker missing for Brady.

I do think there's some merit to this, but you still had a 10 point lead in the 4th Quarter and gave it back. Just like when we beat the Bills, a great team will overcome these setbacks. The Colts gave the game back to the Patriots.

Tip your hat to them and prepare for next week.

 

[Aikbach]

We'll see.

:laugh2:

No need to go that far..

 

[Nors]

I don't like Mannings chances in Foxboro in January in cold. Indy had 10 point lead in 4th and should have won that game. Brady is money - its almost a given you give him an opening he is going to win the game in 4th.

Fun game to watch - we are up next. Romo needs to bury Eagles NOW.

 

[5Stars]

No need to go that far..

:laugh2:

We love you, too, WG!!

They seem to never lose at home in the playoffs.

 

[InmanRoshi]

Great game. Both teams had to overcome some hardships. Colts had some critical injuries, and Patriots got some pretty ridiculous PI calls and Brady was off for the majority of the game. I'll look forward to the rematch. New England won.... Panties in a wad factor on Cowboyszone ... Level 11.

New England 24, Indianapolis 20

Preview - Box Score - Recap

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- This time, the New England Patriots struggled to survive.

But survive they did, staying on course for an unbeaten season as Tom Brady threw two touchdown passes in a four-minute span of the fourth quarter to overcome a 10-point deficit and beat Super Bowl champion Indianapolis 24-20 Sunday.

The win in perhaps the NFL's biggest regular-season game ever keeps the Patriots (9-0) on course for the NFL's first unbeaten season since Miami did it 1972 and gives them the first tiebreaker over Indianapolis (7-1) in the AFC playoffs.

New England, which had been averaging more than 41 points a game and had beaten eight opponents by an average of more than 25 points, trailed 20-10 after Peyton Manning scored on a 1-yard sneak with 9 minutes and 42 seconds left in the game.

However, Brady's 55-yard completion to Randy Moss set up a 3-yard TD pass to Wes Welker. Rosevelt Colvin knocked the ball loose from Manning to force a punt on the next series. Then Brady found Kevin Faulk over the middle for 13 yards for the winning score with 3:15 left.

Jarvis Green knocked the ball lose from Manning and Colvin recovered to clinch the game for New England.

For three quarters this looked like Indy's game.

It seemed to have turned with 13 seconds left in the first half, when Joseph Addai took a short pass from Manning and raced 73 yards for a touchdown, at least twice faking out New England defenders who seemed as if they expected him to run out of bounds to stop the clock.

That gave the Colts a 13-7 halftime lead and seemed to be a huge momentum shift.

It certainly energized a Colts defense that was flying all over the field at the start of the second half. Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis kept Brady under pressure most of the afternoon and when middle linebacker Gary Brackett picked off a Brady pass in the first minute of the fourth quarter that led to Manning's sneak, Indy seemed in control.

But Brady, who had 30 touchdown passes in the first half of the season, putting him on course to shatter Manning's three-year-old record of 49, finally awoke late. The long pass to Moss was New England's first gain longer than 19 yards in the game and that came on a scramble by Brady.

"They made the big plays down the stretch and we couldn't counter them," Indianapolis coach Tony Dungy said. "You knew they would try to go over the top to Moss and they finally were able to do it."

The Colts played without Marvin Harrison, their top receiver, who missed his third straight game with a knee injury. Starting left tackled Tony Ugoh also was out and the Colts lost Tony Gonzalez, Harrison's replacement, with a finger injury in the first half.

In the end, that wasn't as much a factor as Brady. He threw for 153 of his 255 yards in the fourth quarter as the Patriots broke a three-game losing streak against the Colts, who beat them here 38-34 in the AFC title game last season and went on to win the Super Bowl by beating Chicago.

This game was supposed to be more like that AFC title game than the defensive struggle it was until Brady finally made his big plays

Pit could they have a running game and they are also a cold weather team

So I would not say no one can
