Default Tough to say, but we've pretty much become chokers (merged)

Everything we used to say about the Colts in the early part of this decade is now being said about us.

Not just talking about the losses to the Colts and the Super Bowl. But, how often do we feel safe when we have a small lead late in the game. I think we all sweat it.

until TFB chokes in the playoffs on a continuous basis... this is an outrageous accusation.

I wish I could argue with you, but it does seem like in tight games the O or D does often let them down - especially against quality opponents. Anyhoo, I used to feel more confident in tight games, not that that's worth much. Actually I used to feel like any game the Pats were winning was a "W". No more. Maybe next year we'll feel like that again.

I'm babbling.

We just lost a tight close game where we went toe to toe with the best team in the NFL. Colts were favored by 3 and won by 1. Patriots outplayed the Colts. If you think the Patriots are chokers, you can jump off the band wagon.

I feel the Pats did choke this one away and that there's no way this team lost this game 5 years ago.

Exactly what I mean, I remember we used to be unbeatable with a second half lead, even when we had banged-up defenses. Lately I haven't even wanted to watch the last few drives in a game when its tight. And you can almost predict how these games are going to end. Like, I knew Tommy was going to throw a pick in the second half on a deep pass that he maybe shouldn't have thrown because I've seen him do it so many time before. Worst part is that it always seems to be on first downs.

Defensive playmakers always used to bail them out. Now, with no playmakers on D, it's all on Brady. BB put it on him to win the game and he and Faulk couldn't make the play.

Bill you really should have punted the ball instead. ( just a PUN on ur name)


Indy the best??? No. Cincy/Chargers/Patriots are better imo

we really screwed up tonight..... It was our game to lose and we did just that.

And why was this a tight close game because we "choked" away a once-insurmountable lead. We didn't go toe-to-toe, we were beating them up and down the field for 46 minutes, but we couldn't put an end to them.

This game should have ended with us winning by at least 10 points, at least that's how it used to be.
