Yeah. That's about the most retarded thing one could ever read in this particular forum. Essentially you're trying to tell us that the Saints offense, which has sucked all year, didn't suck so bad against Indy but were simply shut down because of Indy's dominating defense... It wasn't until week 2 that the Saints started sucking. Before week 2, they were good...!!! They really were..!!

We're a great turf team now too. Honestly, I'm a pessimist by nature and it's not like me to run my mouth with confidence but I'll go further and say, injuries being equal, that the Patriots will be up by 10+ for the entire 4th quarter.

You're comfortable going against a team that has been putting up 31ppg and have stuck up the join when it comes to redzone offense. We'll be better by week 9, trust me.

You're not worried about playing an improved defense that is tackling better than in previous years.

We're better than last years regular season team, and we have over a month to improve and y'all have a month to come back down to Earth, be afraid.

The game is in the Dome too, it's on.

The Colts have won their last two games by a combined 8 points, including the Texans game where Houston was without its best receiver but still put 24 points on the board against that "improved" defense. The Colts scored 22 and 30 points, respectively.

Looking at the next 4 games, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Colts to drop 2-3 of those games, and I fully expect Jacksonville to beat them.

alright then. I'll bookmark this thread just to make sure you don't forget that statement, and if by some small chance you're right I'll give you your props, but you are in for a rude awakening if you really think the Pats are going to march into the dome and the Colts are going to be a pushover.

I think you are mistaken in that if the pats make it to the playoff they are on in indy in 08 too.

I believe Brady has lost 2 turf games in his career - 1 regular season, 1 in the playoffs last year. Your time will come buddy.

SD-Not even counted as a quality win! Only 3 games in, and they aren't considered "quality" at this point.

Your opponents 2-7 (none with a winning record)
Ours 4-5 (two with a winning record)

Here's the problem with your logic (well, one of many)... You make it sound like the Patriots are just barely winning their games. They don't make the schedule. They can only play the teams that are assigned to them and, in all 3 cases thus far this year, they have thoroughly dominated their opponents.

WTF more do you want them to do..? Each team will have their chances to prove themselves against quality opponents (not to mention each other).

No problem - I'm married so I'm used to being told I'm wrong. But, as with my wife, I'm right; you just don't know it

Injuries being equal = boring but happy 4th quarter for us.

Actually we put up 34 the last time we played them. And still lost.

Indy scares me to death - NO 4th quarter lead seems comfortable to me against that offense. I'm confident that we have the horses this year to beat them in any kind of game (shootout, defensive struggle, whatever), but unless we're up by at least 3 scores, it won't be a 'boring' 4th quarter for me!

That's for sure... your defense certainly isn't as good as any of those teams.
