When you guys owned us (most) Colts fans realized we were losing because your defense had a terrific game plan against Peyton, and our defense had no chance against the diverse attack Bill and Brady had.

Whenever we beat you guys there's always an external excuse, you even use them for games where you aren't playing, like today. There was one bad PI call today, but do you really think the Colts don't win the game without that? The whole second half the D dominated and Peyton moved down the field with ease. The other PI calls were blatant.

If the Colts and Pats meet again in the playoffs it will be another hotly contested game. If the Pats win I'm sure it will be because we couldn't contain the running game, force turnovers or contain Randy Moss. On the other side of the ball you guys probably would have taken away Clark with your athletic secondary and held Addai to around 3YPC. But if we beat you guys I'm sure you'll point to a couple penalties you made and say you got screwed. Maybe you'll even bring back the bull**** crowd noise complaints.

It's one thing to get a bad call at some random point early in the game when your team still has time to overcome it. It's wholly another matter when your opponent gets a 31 yd phantom PI call with less than 5 minutes left while driving to get within 6, then gets the advantage of a bad spot with less than 2 minutes to go to give them the ball back.

How about the 2006 AFCCG with so many PI calls in your favor and one in particular that put your guys on the goal line. Then when our WR gets hammered in the endzone its a no call.

I mean seriously... seriously.

The refs even did their best in the 2005 game with Pittsburgh.

Imho, as an NFL fan, I'd hate to have my teams accomplishments tainted by such bad officiating.

it's not tainted. We, the colts organization didn't do anything.

Blah Blah Blah Polian on the competition committee Blah Blah Blah

There are so many GM's and coaches on there that the argument above really is nothing more then Blah Blah Blah.

There are blown calls every week. You can find them. You guys worry about the Colts calls because they are a rival, we worry about the kid gloves for Brady as we are a rival. (That is not a shot, it is just used as an example)

The big PI call on Pierre was a BS call, but what can the team do about that?

I remember a game 2 year ago (I think) Where we played Green Bay and Tim Jennings was getting called for PI for just simply looking at the Wide Receiver.

The PI call was iffy, yes, but don't you think the colts would have scored regardless? colts went up 35-20, and pretty much lightened up on D and allowed a garbage time TD.

every game there are iffy calls, stop blowing this one out of proportion.

Wonder why we didn't get a safety on Schaub's throw to no one out of the end zone??

I liked the HIT Addai took, and the subsequent hurry up long gainer to Collie on the next play. Texans were celebrating while the Colts lined up and snapped another play. Classic. PI call was not the best call of the day, but Houston had plenty of opportunities to rebound. Just like the Colts rebounding last week after having fumbles on the field reversed by marginal evidence....they forgot about those calls and moved forward and made plays when they had to.

How is it that you guys are so smart...yet you do not know the rules....we've been struck by this rule as well...when going to the ground, you MUST MAINTAIN POSSESSION THROUGH THE GROUND...Andre did not...as per the rules, this call was correct.

Referees sucking in a Colts game (and in the Colts favor) is nothing new. But that's honestly not why the Colts won and the Texans lost, that play ultimately did not have any bearing in the game. The Texans are losers and find ways to lose, the Colts do just the opposite...in the regular season at least.
