Well a few things here.

1) The Pats haven't had the perfect season. They have gone 17-0 thus far with a lot of football to play, so let's not get ahead of ourselves.

2) The Colts gave the Patriots their only (arguably, here [Ravens]) legitimate game all season. The first three drives in that game the Patriots walked all over the Pats, and there D's red-zone play was the only reason they weren't up 21-0 in the first. They pulled out the game late, but best believe the game, if it occurs, will be good.

3) The Patriots have not played a D as agile and quick as the Colts since, well, the Colts. If the Colts keep pressure on T-Brady and limit big plays it should be another close game.

Well in response

1) The patriots already have played and beat the colts this year.

2) Since 2001 New England has had the Colts number the majority of the time when it counted and don't expect this year to be ANY different. Yes they lost last year in the championship game, but lets face it New England had that game won until the defense completely collapsed....but i give them props for pulling it out.

3) In response to your #2.....Well isn't it the great teams that find ways to win games like new england did lol.....just a shot there buddy .

4) It will be a good game indeed, however i don't think any team will be able to contain the New England offense long enough to pull out a win. Now granted there are still 2 games to get through to claim the prize, however after 17 games NOBODY has proved they can best New England in the end.

5) Indy isn't even necessarily going to play the patriots at this point. They still have to get by the chargers who have also beat them this year......and manning with a career high 6 interceptions in that game haha.

Either way i want to see the Colts/Pats lock up in the AFC championship game. I'm off from work and will be ready for the great game that surely awaits us mullet.

Just barely. And as I said, Indy walked all over them for 3/4 of the game. The better team pulled it out in the end, but it was closer than Pats fans like to remember.

So, when your team pulls a win out of their ass (ala win against the Colts this year) it's because they are good, but when my team does it it's your team's collapse? Right. I'll remember that.

3) In response to your #2.....Well isn't it the great teams that find ways to win games like new england did lol.....just a shot there buddy .

See above

That's the thing though, Indy did. The Pats got a late TD on a bad play, and were contained and their D was outplayed for the majority of the game.

5) Indy isn't even necessarily going to play the patriots at this point. They still have to get by the chargers who have also beat them this year......and manning with a career high 6 interceptions in that game haha.

True.

[Trauma1]

Barely is still a win though haha. At the end of the day it only matters who was better in the end.....*cough* New England


Previous Matchups
The Patriots and the Colts have met 10 times since the 2001 season (7 regular season, 3 playoffs). The Patriots have won 7 of those meetings while the Colts have won 3.

I can only hope we meet again.....to send the colts packing back home riding their little ponies lol

Game on brother!

[MentalTwitch]

It was a good game. Not crazy exciting but very good. I give alot of credit to both teams for the way they played.

1. I wish the Jags wouldhave played harder on D.
2. Brady & Co. worked the weakness well, shortpass.
3. Glad it was somewhat of a game most of the way.

Who was it that assumed the Colts were going to beat the Chargers?

Well, you might be talking about me. But then I realized you'd probably have read the entire post, so then I realized that you weren't talking about me.

The Colts gave the Patriots their only (arguably, here [Ravens]) legitimate game all season.

Yes LOL ! I thought with the Chargers had no chance with an ailing Antonio Gates and an inconsistent Philip Rivers. The Colts really missed Dwight Freeney. Peyton now has to watch his little brother play while he sits at home.

[Trauma1]

I would have liked to see New England play the Colts in the championship game, however the pats have plenty of animosity with the chargers which should make this game almost as interesting. 17 down, 2 to go.......GO PATS!!!!

[MentalTwitch]

I kind of want it to go Green Bay v. San Diego.
I like LT, but dont like rivers.
I want Farve to enjoy this season to the fullest.
I dont think NYG deserve it, i know they have played very well but, i think theyll get beat soon(by GB)
All in all i guess i could stomach San Diego takin it all.
No offense, but i never liked the Pats to much so i am hopin they go down soon...but they are so good.

[bLacKjAck.]

Never say never I guess...but seriously...I CAN'T see anything but Pats v. Packers in the Bowl.

Can the really ailing Chargers go into NE and knock em off? Can NY go into GB and knock off Favre at a time of the year where he is basically Superman on his own field?

Hmm...nah.

NE v GB in the Superbowl! You heard is here first.

I completely agree. I firmly believe that the Patriots are just too deep and well rounded of a team overall for the chargers to overcome. They'll wear you out physically and mentally in their pursuit of winning the game.

I think the packers in general are going to be too much for the giants to handle. Yes they beat the cowboys today, but seriously neither team was impressive at all.

Any given sunday things can happen, however i think destiny has the Packers and the Patriots locking up in footballs' biggest game.
