Bottom line is, our SOS doesn't matter, 6 straight years of 12 wins...they have proven their mettle...now...if they can just do it again in the postseason

Actually, most experts and analysts considered our 2007 schedule to be hard. I didn't think it was that hard. Didn't think it was weak either though. If I had to compare the two, I would say that the Pats 2007 schedule was harder than the Colts' schedule is now. Comparing our schedule last year to your guys' schedule this year would be a wash. You can flip a coin and either team would win the "easiest" schedule debate.

For the last time we played the Dolphins in September, we played them in early October in 2006 and mid-October in 2007. FYI, I live in South Florida and the weather isn't that different from September to October. Today it was burning hot outside (upper 80's to lower 90's). And the Dolphins don't play up here in late December very often either. Not since Shula *****ed and complained anyway.

Sure. Blow them out. If they are so overrated and Indy is so... well, NOT, then the Colts should have no problem winning by a score of, say, at least 34-13, right?

Actually, that is incorrect sir. Sagarin is not the end all be all, but I would accept his opinion for sure. '07? 19th hardest:

Last year? You were 29th. I will bet you any dollar amount you like we finish ahead of 29th (my guess will be somewhere in the high teens low 20's)

Check the temp in those games, will ya? Did you win or lose?

Just because I say a team is over rated doesn't mean I think we'll wipe our azz with them. Not backtracking...but 34-13 is a little skewed, don't cha think? My guess is we'll be 6 point favorites, and we win by 2 td's.

Good call. Baltimore did it..so maybe the Colts can. Don't get me wrong, I think they are a decent team....but I don't think we will be ultimately be fighting them for HFA.

Denver is 0-3 since I said they were overrated. One team that is not is yours. NE pretty much blew that game tonight. Too many chances to put it away, course, we didn't take much advantage, until the 4th down call late. I heard the player bobbled the ball, and when he caught it, he wasn't past the line. Too bad you also didn't have any TO's left to challenge.

Top to bottom, your 53 is no doubt better than ours. You might have payback come January.
