The Predator

I took the recent ESPN poll and found the results interesting.
http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/sports...?event_id=3232

1) Is Sunday's game between the Patriots and Colts a preview of the AFC Championship?

90.6% Yes
9.4% No

No surprise here. These teams are the best in the NFL.



2) Which team will you be rooting for on Sunday?

47.2% Patriots
44.7% Colts
8.1% Neither

It is pretty close, but the pats edge out.



3) Should the Colts be getting as much media attention as the Patriots this season?

55.1% Yes, both teams are undefeated and deserve the same amount of attention.
44.9% No, the Patriots dominance has been so complete they deserve more attention.

Fair is fair.




4) Will the winner of this game go undefeated the rest of the season?

45.5% No
39.7% Yes, but only if it's the Patriots
11.4% Yes, regradless of which team wins
3.3% Yes, but only if it's the Colts

Wow look at this. 39.7% to 3.3%. That is a huge spread.




5) The Patriots are averaging 41.4 points per game this season. How many points will New England score on Indianapolis' defense, which is only giving up 14.9 points per game?

42.8% 21-30
39.2% 31-40
9.7% 41+
7.2% 11-20
1.1% 0-10

The Pats are expected to put up a good amount of points.




6) How do you feel about New England's philosophy of continuing to score on opponents when the game is well in hand?

65.2% There is nothing wrong with it. If you don't want them to score, stop 'em.
34.8% It is classless. They are running up the score.

Majority Rules.




7) Which team has the edge at quarterback?

56.5% Patriots (Tom Brady)
43.5% Colts (Peyton Manning)

Majority Rules Again.





8) Which team has the edge at running back?

77.2% Colts (Joseph Addai)
22.8% Patriots (Laurence Maroney)

Fair enough. He earned it.



9) Which team has the edge at wide receiver?

75.4% Patriots (Randy Moss, Donte' Stallworth, and Wes Welker)
24.6% Colts (Reggie Wayne, Marvin Harrison, and Anthony Gonzalez)

Did you ever think you would see the day???




10) Which team has the edge at tight end?

70.0% Colts (Dallas Clark)
30.0% Patriots (Ben Watson)

Agreed




11) Which player will have the biggest impact on the game?

34.9% Tom Brady
18.3% Peyton Manning
14.5% Randy Moss
9.7% Joseph Addai
9.5% Wes Welker
5.1% Dallas Clark
2.4% Reggie Wayne
1.7% Marvin Harrison
1.6% Laurence Maroney
1.2% Donte' Stallworth
0.7% Anthony Gonzalez
0.4% Ben Watson

It is simple. Tom wins games.



12) Which team will win Sunday's game in Indianapolis?

34.4% Colts by a small margin
33.9% Patriots by a large margin
28.0% Patriots by a small margin
3.8% Colts by a large margin

Add 33.9% + 28% and you see the public feels the Pats will win. In fact 61.9% to 38.2% is a landslide.

Geez - you even have to borrow from New York on your smack. (Knicks vs Hicks - NBA playoffs). Do any of you have original ideas. You know, so you don't have to keep stealing NY stuff.

Pat the Pats Fan

Enough of them are on the board.....

They stole my stuff via quantum temporal entanglement.
Never follow the NBA anymore.
Go shoot up some Al Quaeda and get off the net.

I'm a Hoosier - we don't have the net, not even here. Don't get confused now - that was sarcasm.

Better watch out you might get accused of yelling because you changed your text to red...I did the same thing in another thread and a Pats fan jumped down my throat saying I was yelling...I thought it was funny because I thought using all caps meant yelling...good post by the way I agree with most of the polls and results

geez what a stupid post...

FlyingElvis75

Maybe ESPN will wise up and realize their readers (at least the ones who like to vote) aren't buying the BS their idiot commentators are shoveling?
