Just wanted to stop by and congratulate you on a great win, I feel we played on your level for most of the game, a few bad calls by the refs against the Pats we could have done without, Hope to see you in January in NE..I don't see anybody beating you this year at least in the regular season. 16-0 unless Bill decides to rest players toward the end of the season...congrats again on a great well deserved win..

Usually don't do this, but you guys looked great shorthanded and the game could have turned out either way.

Totally impressed by that defense, especially since they all work for minimum wage except Freeney.

Coming into this game, I thought the Pats were significantly superior to the Colts...
Now I think these two teams are very close in talent...
Indy's D suprised me. Most teams have been lucky to hurry Brady a couple of times a game. You guys did it for the entire game.
Addai suprised me too. I knew he was good, but today was something else...
Anyone could've won that game; just a matter of who was lucky enough to be ahead when the clock stopped.

Here's to a 16-0, and a 15-1 season; and a rematch in (hopefully blizzard conditions in) Foxboro...

The Colts defense was really impressive. In the late 3rd my hatred for the refs starting turning into a respect for the Colts.

Addai was a beast. You can't say enough positives about him in this game.

That said, this was not a great game. It was an awful game. The only reason I'm not still seething is because the Pats won. That referee crew deserves a beating behind the stadium for totally ruining the game.

Thanks for the discussion. I have to say that I was very impressed with the Colts, especially there defense. They looked tough and played with heart. Hope the injured players are back soon. I must admit that I'm cheering for SD, howeve I do see a big win for you next week.

It was a terrific performance by the players and coaches on both sides. These two teams outclass the rest of the league by a large margin--which makes the caliber of the refereeing all the more discouraging. This was supposed to be a showcase for the NFL's very best, and the guys in stripes dragged the level way down.

But the Colts are plenty good. I'd be shocked not to see a rematch!

A few bad calls?

Yea, nice understatement.

I am still seething.

Great game, especially by Addai and that D (and at least for the first half by the coaching staff). As one of the few on this site that predicted a close game, (thanks to a healthy respect for the new D), I am happy with the result, but would not predict the rematch, even if it is in Gilette (but please not with the same set of juvenille zebras). Hope you continue to showcase what the NFL should be until then.

Those two teams are so far beyond the rest of the league, it's ridiculous. I was really impressed by the Colts D, but the Pats had it worn down/figured out in the 4th quarter. Not sure how much being shorthanded at LB affected that.

The Colts, any other season, they'd be a solid SB favorite. This year, though ... it's a special Pats team. Tough and very talented. I can't see the Colts winning in Foxboro in January. But it's closer than I thought, that's for sure.
