From Globe:
Safety Rodney Harrison felt the Patriots were in a tough spot.
"The NFL did a pretty good job of putting us on Monday night, then placing us with Indy," he said. "So kudos to the NFL."

Now if he was on another team we'd be saying "stop whining" but, the Colts do have a history of trying to get the league to arrange the schedule for them (opener in 05 that they whined about, NFL puts Raiders instead).

I caught that as well. Rodney is right though. Its not the 1st time the NFL has put the Patriots on a short week heading into a tough game. However, it is the 2nd year in a row that the Pats have faced the Colts in prime time.

Its not a big deal, honestly. The more adversity the league gives the Pats, the less qhining and complaining that Manning and the Colts can do afterwards.
