Since all those answers are probably Patriot answers, Then that means we have no chance.

Yeah, first, we have to get there. But if we do, Polian, Dungy, and the rest might just take a pass. Primarily based on the above quiz

Throw the stats out the window when these two teams play. While we know the answer to probably all those questions you posted favor the Pats no doubt, I still say these teams are both very good, while it appears the Colts may be slipping some, I think we will be ready come playoff time..

I assume they are all the obvious answers from a Pats fan's perspective. Not bad for a team that can't run the ball, plays prevent about 1/2 of each game, and does not get the same kind of jump off the ball because of deafening noise.

Yes, THROW THE STATS OUT (when they favor the Pats).

indycolts685

Yes absolutely especially when they favor the Pats...

I don't think he's saying the Pats are a lock if these two teams match up in the AFCCG at Gillette. His point, if I'm reading this right, is that all the 'pundits' and 'experts' are incorrect in saying that the Colts are built for the cold weather of Foxboro in January. These so-called experts keep referencing the Colts tough defense and their superior running game as proof that they're better suited for cold weather games, but what they fail to mention is that they're basically lying on both points because the Pats have a statistical edge on both defense and in the running game.

Question #10 is great...

From Sports Guy's fantasy football preview...

Nobody has ever said the words, "I wish I hadn't taken Marvin Harrison." Well, unless you're in a playoff fantasy league.
