Colts vs Pats--The War

Wow, a game that lived up to the hype! I have to admit I was nervous throughout, even when we had the big lead. Unfortunately it was justified.
Congrats to the Colts and their fans for a nice win in a great game.

See you later..... in the playoffs.

There always seems to be a sequel.

I don't have a dog in this fight (bad choice of words for an Eagles fan...), but I cannot believe Belicheck went for it on fourth down. Talk about showing no faith in your defense. Wow.

While certainly that is a valid perspective, I think it shows more his cockiness and total support of his offense. I think he did it because he thought he could.

There is no doubt it shows cockiness, pompousness, or whatever you want to call it, but it most definitely shows no faith in your defense too. Both helped make his decision. If he had faith in his defense there wouldn't have even been a thought to do it.

I had no dog in the fight but am still shaking my head about that 4th down call.

The Pats dominated the whole game from the highlights I watched, and there was no reason to doubt the defense and not punt and take the win.

New England is probably still shellshocked from Peyton's brother running the 2 minute drill straight into their undefeated hearts a couple years ago.

Funny because they didn't really show any Colts highlights until the last drive really. I watched most of the game and thought the Colts were really making some plays on offense and defense. I guess it's all in the editing lol
