Default Path to Nowhere

Sure the Colts and the Saints could both go 16 - 0, but as we know in New England, that means nothing unless you go all the way to 19 - 0. I strongly believe that both teams will fail in the post season before the big game. The reason being is they are playing at a level like we were that at this point, one mistake will de-rail your season and that great record you had is now just a memory. Path to Nowhere is where I see the two teams going. They will get knocked out by surpise and the fans will be feeling it for a long time.

Go Pats!!

Wouldn't it be sweet to knock them both off, leaving the Colts at 17-1 and Saints at 18-1.............
I can dream, can't I???? Nothing is impossible..........

i dont know..whatever they are doing,however they are doing ..its great .We dont have to be like mercury morris justifying their wins. I can see indy in the SB more than NO because the NFC has more than one team-phl,minn- which can give NO a game and especially NO's defense is not as good as indy's.

So far this year, just about every team has given Indy a game. Hat's off to them, they've pulled them all out, but one play going in another direction and they could have lost 4 or 5 games already.

Again, not hating, I give them credit because they made those plays. But to say their road will be easier than NO's is incorrect.

The Colts going 19-0 would be tough to swallow, but I agree, I don't want to be like the Dolphins and the pathetic guys on that squad who sit around rooting for teams to lose.

Ideally, though, I can see a scenario in which we end the Colts undefeated streak in January. I'd be very confident if we played them again. We had them on the ropes, and an awful lot of freakish things occurred for us to lose that game. Not saying it couldn't happen again, but I'd take our chances.

My bet is Indy is one and done.

If this site can get over the trauma of a two game losing streak, it might not be bad to remember how the Pats truly dominated that game.

Besides, it's interesting that 5 of the last 8 #1 seeds have been "one and done" and only 1 #1 seed has actuall won the SB (Pats 2003) in the past 10 years.

The trend seems to be the team hoisting the Lombardi are teams that go through late season trauma and then focus in January.

Even if the Pats were 12-1 or 11-2, I would have the very same level of confidence as 8-5.

The Colts have had so many close calls this year. Someone is eventually going to get them in the playoffs. Plus, they're famous for their lackluster playoff record, so there's obviously something about postseason play that gets to them.

As for the Saints, I wouldn't be shocked in the least bit if they lost to the Vikings or Eagles in the playoffs.
