Not that it matters, but I'm curious to know your opinion on if we played the Colts do you think we would have won.

No, you destroy us. We had absolutely no pass rush, and it was our undoing. Volek looked like a regular pro bowler. Imagine what brady would have looked like.

The Colts would have scored more, but their D would not have been nearly as effective as the Chargers.

It might have been a closer game, but more high scoring. I'm a Colts fan, but I think the Pats still would have prevailed....

We don't play one team like we play another, we game plan and have the ability to be a long passing team, dink and dunk, screens and power running like we did against Sandiego at the end with three tight ends.

There is no answer to that question.

Probably, but the Colts play very well against the Pats. It would have been a close game and anything can happen in a close game.

The gameplan would have been completely different on both sides of the ball, but I think the Pats would have beat the Colts. I also thought that before the Colts played the Chargers, after they played them, and before we played the Chargers. The Colts' defense turned out to be a paper tiger and their offense was too one dimensional for the entire second half of the season.

the only sure thing in life is no matter what, Sanvara will always find something negative to say about the Patriots

it does take two to tango

chargers defense just played better than the colts defense in the playoffs

the question could also be, would the colts have held NE to 21 playing the D they played against SD?

i think the answer to that is F no lol.

It was a game played in the cold.

It was colder than any game the Colts have played at Foxboro.

More wind too.

Last time the Colts played the Patriots in the playoffs, the wind chill was 15 degrees, and they scored 3 points.

I'm not convinced the game would have looked all that different.
