Remember when we used to own the Colts... - New England Patriots Forums

They have now beaten us five of the last six meetings.

Really, I don't even think it is a Peyton vs. Brady thing. It's Peyton vs. Belichick and Peyton has been making him out-think himself. I really don't even know why the Colts have a head coach.

The only saving grace is that they have only won one super bowl in that span. However, I think they may get their second this year. Three game lead for homefield with only seven games left. Gonna be tough. They only have Denver at home and at Baltimore to challenge them for a loss, I think.

One word. Turnovers.

During our super bowl years, we always seemed to win the turnover battle. Edgerrin always seemed to fumble at the worst times. Now it seems like we always lose the turnover battle.

The Pats could have just as easily won this game tonight. It was a game that came down to one or two plays. I feel confident the Pats can go into Indy for the playoffs and beat them if they are given the opportunity.

Yes, the Colts have won five of the last six meetings, but only one was in the playoffs. As long as the Pats get in, it is the meeting in the playoffs that ultimately matters.

Two reasons why the Pats were able to own the Colts was because they had great assistants like Weiss and Crennel. All BB had to worry about was coaching his own players. Because of the high turnover of coaches, BB is constantly trying to get his assistants on the same page.

The other reason, they had better players on defense. The defense has absolutely nobody that can get after the QB.

The Colts flat out own the Pats.

I'm still trying to remember the last time the Colts came to New England. How many years in a row have New England played in Indy? I don't know how the league makes it schedule but it never makes sense that New England have had to goto Indy for the last 3 years in a row.

Look at the DL the Pats had tonight...I dont think you can expect them to get after Manning, and if you blitz Manning eats you alive. I thought the defense played well for the most part.
