Re: Pete Prisco: "Old and slow Linebacking corps will hurt Patriots chances"
A few typical media errors here:
He says the Pats D will be our problem because one bad half with half the team sick at the end of the year. He forgets that the D was as good as it ever had been, being around the top of the league in points allowed. So he uses one specific example and ignores the whole body of work. Prior to the statement about the D, he says that the offense is fine because it ranked 11th in passing last year. Then he ignores the fact that we had no passing threat in the games we lost, including the AFCCG. So basically, he cites the trends when they work for his argument and ignores the specific events, and he cites the specific events if they work for him and ignores the trends.
Also, I love the quote where he says "Adalius weighs 285, not exactly speed weight." That's the reason Adalius is so valuable...because he is that big and still has the speed! What did he think all the hype was about??

Why should Prisco look somewhere else for facts? It's easier to make them up!

I'm sorry, but I really feel like I have to call out opposing fans in this thread. Yes there has been some excuse-making here. There have also been people like me, where in an above post I said this:

Does this get any attention? Of course not. Instead we get trash like:

You keep brinnging up these "circumstances" (That NO player who played in the game for the Pats has ever come close yo verifying) just sound like bad excuses to me. You keep playing the if, and, and but game and trying to push it off as fact. Just accept the better team won the game and the SB and stop pushing this list of excuses
Thanks for the contributions. You have provided zero insight into the 2007 NE Patriots, specifically the defense. Had I forgotten that NE lost to Indy in January I would have been thrilled you stopped by. As it stands you're pretty much useless.
Why is it that everyone on message boards respond to the homers and the idiots, ignoring anyone who actually makes any sense? Is it no fun to think? Does playground taunting compensate for feelings of insecurity? Are you just that sad?

Then again, I guess I'm guilty for this post.
/rant off
Why would I need to address the 2007 Patriots, the comment I responded to had nothing to do with the 07 Pats but the reseults of the 06 season. So tell me why I would need to provide any new insight on the 07 team???
What I was referring to is the previous comments that seem to be reaccuring about all the Injuries the pats had (because no other team especially the colts has ever had injuries) or how hot it was in the dome (because both teams didn't play in the exact same conditions) or how bad the flu bug was (because we all know the colts are immune to sickness and not ONE player on that team could have also been sick or had any sort of ailment) Not to mention almost ZERO of these claims have ever been backed up by a Pats player
So yes, it's all just a bunch of excuses, now I was addressing the posters making these type of comments and not the entire patriots fanbase obviously

Because at this point in time, that's all you have. But feel free to feel better by trolling to a rival's site while you're feeling chuffed from your success last season. Must have a narrow life, eh?

Yeah, cause I sure have been "trolling" this site alright. Check my post history, I only respond on threads ADDRESSING THE COLTS, go ahead and check yourself. I think I may have started one or two threads (one today) but other than that I only really give my insight on threads addressing the team I follow.
Now tell me where this becomes trolling and maybe your argument will hold some weight, but I don't see anything wrong where a fan of your biggest rival comes and addresses comments made about his team in threads regarding his team in your main forum??? Want me to post less, make less topics about the Colts maybe???
Re: Pete Prisco: "Old and slow Linebacking corps will hurt Patriots chances"
I'm fine with the "no excuses" trash-talk the Colts fans here are putting forth. Bottom line, Indy deserved to win. Pats had plenty of chances to overcome adversity and didn't do so.
That said, if I ever hear another Colts fan whining about Roman Phifer grazing Marcus Pollard or whoever, in a game DOMINATED by the Patriots, I reserve the right to rip off his head and shank down his neck. How's that?

You talk about choking?
How about the years of 2003-2004 and 2005 for the Colts?
Seems to me the Colts were one of the biggest favorites ever in the AFC playoffs in that game a few years ago against Pittsburgh and blew it at home - NOW THAT IMO WAS THE BIGGEST CHOKE IN HISTORY!
Can you say LOSS-LOSS-LOSS in AFC playoffs each of those years of 03-04-05? - All of which they were expected to win those games?
Finally Manning and his guys win the super bowl against a lousy QB in Grossman and now you are all giddy and ****y about the Colts?
I hope you cherished last year,It won't happen again till you have collected your social security check.

This thread in particular addressed an article about the Pats. You trolled the thread, found some posts referencing the Colts, and were off to the races. You're a troll. Appears you are obsessed with correcting any perceived slight against your team on another team's message board. That's trolling, pal. Any way you cut it. Thing is, your team is good enough where you should have enough confidence to not need to visit other team's sites. This is a known condition where fans become obsessed and think they can elevate their teams by arguing with other teams' fans. You are officially a member of the OCD world.
