PATSNUTme

Back in November, I said that I wanted the Patriots to go to Indy and play them in the AFC Championship game. I wanted the Patriots to beat them on their home field and drive a dagger in their hearts.

So, why do I feel so friggin nervous about this game? I didn't last week until the game was well under way.

Because unlike in our last two SB runs, the Pats have not inspired us with a lot of confidence. I expected us to lose to the Chargers, then when it got to the fourth quarter and it looked like we had a chance, I started to freak. That was followed after the game by a sense of shock. Face it: How many of us REALLY thought we'd be playing for the AFCC six weeks ago? I'm nervous too -- especially over our secondary's ability to contain the Colts' passing game.

I said the same thing to a friend last week. If we get the Colts in Indy, I think Tom Brady is going to torch their defense. I think we come out in more of a spread. But, use it to run. Gets Sanders out of the box. And, allows our t's to push their de's outside and run right underneath them.

Why do you feel nervous about this game? Because if the Pats lose we will never EVER EVER hear the end of it as long as we live. You think the Peyton ballwashing is bad now? Wait until he gets a ring. Brady who?

You should be nervous, but this is the way it has to be. This is like the 2004 Sox, knowing that the only way to a championship is through the Yankees, or the Celtics in the 80's, always hoping for another shot at the Lakers.

5 Rings for Brady!!

I hate Manning and Polian and that team of crybabies more than any other team by a longshot, so for me it is nerve wracking that we have to be the ones to either kick them out or let them into the superbowl.

I don't want that responsibility. I would have ten times rather lost to the totally classless and clueless Chargers and let their stupid trolls come here and brag all offseason than to lose to the pukestain Colts.

The mere fact that the Colts could go to the superbowl is really more aggravating than anything else I can think of.

I think people might be nervous because these Colts deserve our respect, unlike other versions of them.

1. Manning seems to have matured some in how he handles himself.

2. They manned up against the Ravens (I won't count the pathetic Chief game). You would never have seen a win like that in previous Colt editions. These Colts don't seem as big a team of pansies.

3. They have won 2 playoff games with defense and with Manning having bad games. In the past Manning carried them.

4. They might not be as talented as past editions, but they are a better team at this point. At least playing like a better team.

5. They have Vinatieri kicking for them. It almost seems preordained that he will have a chance to kick us out of the playoffs. At least that is on a lot of our minds I believe.

All of these things tend to make us nervous. I think its going to be a great game.

not with the pats. as a 37-year long-suffering fan, these years (and this year) have been everything i ever wanted.
we lose the AFC championship game, i'll say we ahd a good season.
screw the dolts. who cares what they do?
if the dolts can beat our boys in a championship game they deserve to strut around.
but they gotta beat the patriots.
san diego didn't lose that game, they failed to win it. sunday, it's the dolts who have to break thru the ceiling. not us.
under most scenarios, we win. so it's the dolts who have to play their best game, and take down the champs. the pressure's on them, not us.
it's not about peyton. it's their other starters. can THEY stand up to the pressues? can their rookie RB control his nerves?
can they stop dillon/faulk/maroney? what of graham/watson/thomas? can they protect against vrabel/bruschi/colvin? can peyton throw to asante's side without getting picked off? does he even think he can? those are the questions.
THEY are the ones who have to come thru.
the patriots are gonna be themselvess. the DOLTS have to beat US, not the other way around.
so naw, i ain't nervous. this is a rivalry, they've won games when the cookies weren't on the l;ine. THEY gotta beat us.
and patriots beat better teams all the time.
