You know I really don't care how Bellichick is as a person, if he cheated on his wife or whatever. All I know is that its entertaining as hell watching his team play with an attitude that basically says "We don't care what the **** you think or say about us, we are going to kick your ass up and down this field until you stop us."

The Colts have had a tougher schedule, but the Colts also haven't been nearly as dominant as the Patriots.

I think the Patriots are the better team - I think the Colts will win the game.

I am just not following your logic!

You admit that the Colts have played better opponents than the Pats have and are undefeated....even after to back to back road games one being a Monday nighter??

The Pats have played cup cakes all season! I guess you're SUPPOSE to dominate those.



If the Pats are the better team, why are you calling a Colts win???

Man.....you guys are so blinded by the Brady TDs that you keep discounting the Colt D.

 

[Memphis Slim]

I still don't get the whole "schedule" deabate.....this isnt college....a W is a W....regardless of the quality of team you face...

Follow the yellow brick road, dude....

 

[Jerry!]

We can't see the yellow brick road dude.

 

[Spiderine]

LOL, that's the silliest thing I've read on this thread....they could put the cheerleaders in and it wouldn't matter............IT'S FOOTBALL........you make as many touchdowns as you can....that's how you play the game.

Couldn't agree more...its football dammit. Nobody says lets take it easy on this defense. If you got any pride in your self you do whatb ever it takes to stop them plain and simple.

 

[BlackLantern]

all I see is text...not a link or a picture.....in any case....the Pats dont get half a win if they beat a team that is under 500.....in college, yes, strength of schedule counts but not in the NFL....a W is a W....and if you have enough at the end of the season you get to go to the playoffs...I don't see the point of it even being a discussion point

It doesn't matter because the Lombardi trophy will reside in Foxboro at the end of it all.

 

[Jerry!]

He just said he thinks the Colts will win. How is that discounting the Colts at all?

 

[Spiderine]

You play who ever is on the schedule, what else can you do.

 

[Spiderine]

Its purely laughable. The Patriots merely toy with these defenses at the goalline. Sending guys like Vrabel and Seau in. I love every minute of this.

Suckguars 24
Buccaneers 23

*sigh*

A tough loss to swallow. Jeff Garcia had a rough game throwing 3 INTs, including one for a touchdown, plus missing at least 3 surefire touchdowns down the field. Quinn Gray sucked ass, but he made the play early in the 4th Quarter to help give the Suckguars the game.

But I preach optimism, and I look at the rest of our schedule (home against Arizona and Washington, two games with Atlanta, home against Carolina, etc.) and I see a very favorable second half of the season. Nobody expected Tampa to be 4-4 at this point. I'll give the boys a 10-6 record and the NFC South crown when it's all said and done.

 

[BlackLantern]

so if Tampa finishes welll and by that point in the season some of their wins are against inferior teams....should those wins not count??? j/j

Too bad the only real team team you can point to alllllllllll season is Dallas.

One team.........

Hang your hat on that.....

Of course those wins shouldn't count. What is this, the NFL?

 

[Spiderine]

Orleans may be getting some of that swagger again.

 

[BlackLantern]

One team.........

Hang your hat on that.....

They can hang 7 wins on that.....Houston is hardly an NFL team these days....

 

[Memphis Slim]

You play who ever is on the schedule, what else can you do.

Nobody's disputing that. But it is what it is. The Pats have had only one real test this year. And if not for 11 penalties Dallas was right in that thing.

 

[BlackLantern]

a 21 point defecit is not being "in" anything.....if the game was closer I might agree....

 

[Memphis Slim]

They can hang 7 wins on that.....Houston is hardly an NFL team these days....

They are still better than any AFC East team the Pats have played t:

 

[Spiderine]

Well....No need to continue with this bantar, these two teams will meet next week at the Colts house no less and everything can be put to rest until the playoffs.

Damn he threw three........I was hoping we could win this game considering David Garrard wasn't playing

 

[Cmill216]

[Sarcasm] I can't wait for ESPN's 24 hour coverage of the Biggie in Indy this week. [/Sarcasm]

 

[Jerry!]

Yeah I hate that. Going back and saying "if Dallas didn't do this or that didn't happen" bull**** scenario things. You know what, if Brady didn't fumble the ball when he got sacked in his own territory that led to a defensive TD it would have been even more of a blowout.
