How so?
2006 - it took a freakshow of horrible events to take us down
2007 - we won
2008 - took a David Thomas penalty & a Gaffney drop for us to lose
2009 - this one is fresh enough in the memory that I don't have to go into it...
It's been a tight game every time - in all 3 games we lost, we had our chances to win. Either the refereeing, surprisingly un-clutch offensive play, and ridicolously unclutch defensive play have conspired against us in the 4th quarter of these games. Sure, you could say history could repeat itself - but I know we can play with the Colts.
Playing SD in SD is brutal. We completely pulled that 2006 AFCDG out of our rears. I can't think of another game of late I was so certain were were done-for that we ended up pulling out. The whole game, I was in fear of their defense and their offense. If it weren't for Troy Brown's clutchness, and Reche Caldwell coming out of nowhere with a huge catch, we'd have been toast. Rivers torched us last year, and I honestly think Rivers is playing more consistent ball than Manning is right now, except the hype just isn't there b/c of the perfect season crap.
