Re: Reasons that it is a 'MUST' win game against the Colts
In 2006 the Patriots lost the tie breaker with the Colts for HFA in the AFCCG. Winning on Sunday gives them head to head advantages over Indy, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and San Diego (though I doubt SD catches the Pats record-wise). That will be huge should it come down to NE and one of the other division winners for the second best record in the conference.

I wish the Texans and Bungles hadn't turned into such losers - the Jets get a couple of easy ones the next two weeks.
Agreed!! I just don't see the Pats going undefeated the rest of the way though. Either Chicago (tough D and playing out there after a Monday night here w/Jets) or Green Bay (despite injuries one of the best QB/teams in the NFL) is going to beat 'em...which is OK if they take care of business within the conference.
Losing to an NFC team only hurts with the won/loss.
Losing to an AFC team (already have 2 losses in conference) not only hurts the won/loss but really hurts them when it comes to tie breakers vis-a-vis the Jets.
If the Pats can win out with their remaining AFC schedule I think they're in great shape to win the division and get a bye even if they do lose to a Green Bay or Chicago. I think the Jets will lose a couple of those games in December.

Every game is a must win because that's the only way to placate the naysayers and chicken littles in the fan base and save the message board from imploding...
Re: Reasons that it is a 'MUST' win game against the Colts
Zolak told a good story the week before the Browns game, talking about how coaches each have certain teams they get up for. For Parcells, he said, it was the Colts. Zolak said it was hard to figure but every time the Colts game came up Tuna would go into a tirade: I hate their logo, they have a stupid indoor stadium parked in the middle of a shopping center in a nothing downtown. Pretty funny.

To the OP 'PATRIOTSFANINPA': In the spirit of full disclosure, LOSER, you should alert readers of your prediction for the Pats/Steelers game? As in Pittsburgh 34-17?

This message board could never implode with pinkhatted pom poms like yourself around.

What are you like 12?
Yeah,I got the game wrong Moron,how many have you nailed correct this season?
Now go back to your room like mom sent you to for being a bad boy and put me back on ignore when you get there.
Please stop quoting idiots like that - I have them ignored, but when someone quotes them, the board doesn't ignore the quote, so I get exposed to the stupidity....
