Every team that doesn't have to go to London this should (Please be quiet - edited) because they have nothing to moan about.

In 2004, NE played a road game in Miami and the following match was a game in NY against the Jets.

Does anyone remember Polian and Dungy complaining?

How about in 2005 when NE played 4 of 5 games on the road, against Caronlina/Pitt/SD/Atl/Denver. Seems to me I don't recall anyone on the comp committee rising up to the occasion.

I wonder why that is. Do I just have memory issues?

Hypocrit.

Each scenario is difficult.

Coming home from an away MNF presents problems because you don't get home until early Tuesday morning. Most players sleep on the way home. Once home, you get to get back into your normal routine because you are a day late.

At home MNF Tuesday is not the lost day it could be, and you get to sleep in a bed rather than on the plane, but then you must travel on a short week.

Neither is ideal, but it happens to teams all the time. At legitmate gripe would be an away MNF followed by an away game, but even then, most teams play with the hand that is dealt them.

Your team whines about everything they can.

The kicker is that they don't need to wine so much. They are a good team. For some reason neither they nor they fans believe that, and must try to arrange rules/schedules, blah blah in the Colts favor.

Patriot fans have more faith in your team than you do, which is pretty funny on the face of it.

I can just imagine if you had to play the Patriots after a Monday night game, as we did the Colts last year. You would still be complaining because that game would have cost you HFA in the playoffs. Sheesh.

Is it any wonder everyone sees the Colts as the biggest whiners in the world?

The answer is Bill Polian is full of **** as well as his overrated coach Tony Dungy. Both are huge crybabies. To whine about other teams getting any type of advantage is hilarious. These two abuse the competition committee for the same results.

Several things...

This has already been mentioned.

This has nothing to do with the Patriots game.

The Patiots example is not the same. That was a road game followed by a home game. The Colts situation is 2 road games on the short week.

But in '04 it was the same thing; @ MIA on a Monday, @ NYJ on a Sunday. No complaining by BB, Pioli, or Kraft whatsoever.

The kicker (which no one alludes to in these conversations) is that we then TRAVEL to San Diego the next week. Toughest 4 game stretch, in terms of travel and opponents, that the Colts will have had in quite some time. But, it is what it is. I'm sure they will strap it on and go play.

The only "old news" is that the Dumby and Pooligan are complaining again to the league. The fact that you try to justify it by differentiating the Colts situation this year from all the prior ones simply shows that you are a whiner too....

I think part of your post is correct. I think the Colts are more open about everything with the media. I am sure that every, yes every, team complains about things to the league all year long. The difference with the Colts is Polian loves to talk to the media and will freely talk about these issues. Once he does, people go ask Dungy. I sure most here think they should keep it quiet, I can't say I disagree, but they just happen to be very open and up front with their complaints.

Polian may be a jerk, but he's also a competitor. I think he's trying to get his team some sort of an edge in the minds of the refs so maybe a close call will go his way. I don't have a problem with that kind of gamesmanship. Instead of fretting about it, we should be thinking of ways to retaliate.
