It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Colts fans would give up their 1 or 2 remaining teeth to keep this game within a couple touchdowns. They have this intense dislike for all things Pats that surpasses the hate we get from any other fanbase. I think a lot of it has to do with them still caring about Peyton and his legacy (how cute) and knowing Brady ended that debate. They've somehow deluded themselves into thinking "We only have 1 ring from a decade ago, but we won it the right way" as if pumping in crowd noise, turning up the heat in their dome, and begging the league to change passing rules is somehow the right way.
It's kinda like when Pats fans were saying, Seattle was screwed because of Deflategate and the Pats were gonna crush them because they are angry. Pats won by only 4 (thank god). Just because we take it personally doesn't mean the team does.
Colts 17
Pats 76
1776 Patriot-ic right?[/QUOTE
.......Andrew Luck. He is getting close to Peyton for becoming the worse TV pitchman ever.. here kitty kitty.
I don't think the team takes it as personal as us fans. To them and Belichick it's just another conference game that they have to win. Brady might be the one extra pumped up, because you know the fans will be mocking him. Which by seeing the results offensively (averaging over 37 pts per game), might be a huge mistake by them.
That being said, they aren't just going to lay down just because we Patriot's fans wanna see the Pats smack them down by 60 points. It's kinda like when Pats fans were saying, Seattle was screwed because of Deflategate and the Pats were gonna crush them because they are angry. Pats won by only 4 (thank god). Just because we take it personally doesn't mean the team does. Do I think we win, yes I do, but do I think we cover ? Maybe. But nothing is a given in the NFL. I'm sure Belichick will motivate them to play a full 60 minutes and probably rip them for giving up 5 sacks and have them grounded and ready.
I could see something like a 30-14 win, but I could also see something like a 27-24 win. Colts might be really motivated too due to our Pats always crushing them. No team just lies down and takes a beating, hopefully the Pats impose their will and do their job and come out with a healthy win.
I'm disappointed in Bob as he seems incapable of using his imagination. Withthe colts direct line to the NFL*, they should be able to get a special waiver to deflate their footballs by .4 or even 1 psi. This should ensure that all footballs are thrown with perfect accuracy and the RBs will never fumble.Someone is shaking in his boots and already waving the white flag:

Watching the patriots crushing the Cowboys and can't come up with a scenario how the colts will beat NE much less compete with them. Truth
an upset, to me, would be the Colts being within 2 scores by the end of the game. The schedule makers have set it up favorably for the Colts and even that won't hep them come Sunday evening.I hate to throw cold water on this but it's the second game in a back to back road trip where the home team has two days extra rest. This is where upsets tend to happen even when the teams are grossly mismatched.
I'm cautiously optimistic we'll win but I wouldn't take this one for granted.
Felger is already whining in her high pitched shrill voice..... "Why are Patriot fans blaming the Colts??"This week is going to be full of annoying media so let's have some fun before this forum turns into a link fest to blogs of people we hate.
Personally, I'm licking my lips at the thought of this game. I feel bad for Colts players. They're going to get an extra bit of whipping that is entirely the fault of their drunken, drugged up and spoiled rich kid owner.
I agree. Instead of 72-0 it will be 67-9.I hate to throw cold water on this but it's the second game in a back to back road trip where the home team has two days extra rest. This is where upsets tend to happen even when the teams are grossly mismatched.

Does anyone know which crew will be reffing this game?
