Default Quote of the day

Don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but the best nut-shell conclusion on this game with the Colts -- and really about this Patriots team/organization -- in my opinion is:

"Nothing against Tony Dungy's team, which was missing all-world receiver Marvin Harrison on Sunday, but the Colts have their Super Bowl rings now. Could it be that's why they didn't play with the same now-or-never sense of urgency that they exhibited last January? They still have the horses, but do they have the same burning desire? On this day, burning desire was wearing red, white and blue, and playing until the very end."

I like that. A lot.

No offense dude, but the colts were deeply bummed on the sidelines when it was clear that the pats had it in the bag. Deeply.

If you look at other times when the colts got beat by the pats, you could say that they did not have it in them then too. The truth is, the pats just really took it to them, and they are not used to this. The pats are a very good team. The colts are a very good team. The loser is gonna feel like crap and maybe not respond when the chips are on the line.

Perhaps, and I say this with a lot of trepidation, Manning is happy that he has won, that he makes commercials, and that his life is good. He, of all the people may be a little tired of it. He did not have the same urgency. But, he also got hit last week real hard. He got a shot in this game when Warren hit him in the gut that would have broken a mortal in two.

But Freeney? And Mathis? And the colts D? Addai? Those guys played their hearts out. I think Banks is way off the mark.

Yea, he is the one that really stuck in my mind also. I really think that he is an amazing talent. And, seemingly a great guy. He was very sad.

And, I liked it!!!

If that defense wasn't intense, I don't want to face them when they're into it.

What a stoopid comment by Banks.

He was just starring into nothing in utter disbelief. He does look a good kid but like yourself, I wasn't go to feel sorry for him Or Manning for that matter who could barely look up.

They played hard.

Agreed! The Colts were fired up all game. This comment by Banks is way, way off the mark.

I wish the Colts weren't fired up yesterday.

Addai carried the offense. His utter disbelief was similar to LT's last post season.

Stupid comment. That D was gassed by the 4th quarter. Valiant effort for 3 1/3rd. I know you can't make every catch, but when the ball is put in your hands, you gotta catch it. Gonzo dropped six. Wayne might go if he catches that one over Hobbs, and Morehead had a big drop over the middle in the 4th. If there were guys that "didn't want it", it wiould be them, not PM, obviously not Addai, and not the D.

More idiots trying to find the catch phrase that will encompass a rather emotional back and forth game.

It is disrespectful to the way the colts played and to the pats for coming back for the win.
