Put it to bed. Forget about it. Focus on the Green Beans and the other six games coming up. We saw flashes of the 2007 offense last night and that's a GREAT thing to look forward to. We will win the division and come playoff time the defense will be ready as well.

If only it were that easy, but there is no guarantee the D will be better come playoff time. We all thought they were playing their best football right now, and then the Colts put up 35 on them...If the Pats don't get their act together IMMEDIATELY, the playoffs look like a disappointment waiting to happen...

All I want is to find a way to sleep. This defeat is almost as painful as the ....

HEY BRO! WHAT UP?

We have to remember that the offense looked great because the Colts were missing 3/4's of their secondary. I expected them to score 30+ points with ease. Brady's stupid interception and Maroney's fumble allowed the Colts to get right back into the game.

Honestly, as much as I think the Colts are average, they own the Pats. For some reason, the Colts struggle against any other team they play. But when the play the Pats, no matter how many points the Pats score, they find a way to score more.

I used to be that fan where I'd say, "I can't wait for the rematch because the Pats will kick their *****!" Now I hope the Pats flat out avoid the Colts because they continue to find ways to lose.

wilfork is beastin'

when Lucas Oil Stadium falls silent after the Pat's have beaten the Colts in the playoffs this year everyone will have forgotten about this game

*Painful* loss, but to put it in perspective: it's still the regular season. After seeing last night's game, NE can win the rematch.

Colts defense was #1 in points allowed so you really cant justify that the offense looked great because of the Colts defense.

The Colts are not average, they are 9-0 and the best team in the AFC. Pats fans cannot be afraid to play the Colts, we need to beat the best to be the best.

For us fans, yes, put the game behind us and forget about it. For the players/coaches, they better not forget about this game. BB and the coaches should rub this in the teams face every waking minute of the rest of this season. Show them how pathetic they are, how much more work they need to do, how much tougher they have to get, how much smarter they have to be. Belichick and the coaches need to have a good long look at the film and change their "endgame" strategy. No more going soft/passive. It's time this team plays aggressively to end a game. This game needs to serve as motivation.

This is the year. We put our failures in the past, it's a new year, a new defense. It's time to prove to the league that the Patriots are back and aren't going anywhere and they will be the last ones standing in Feb.
Update: Well that didn't work out as I had planned. Next year baby, next year 19-0 we go. Next year.

Agreed. I was expecting to see the words "alcohol" and or "suicide", but I think this is the better route.
