Congrats on a great game

[indycolts685]

Just wanted to stop by and congratulate you on a great win, I feel we played on your level for most of the game, a few bad calls by the refs against the Pats we could have done without, Hope to see you in January in NE..I don't see anybody beating you this year at least in the regular season. 16-0 unless Bill decides to rest players toward the end of the season...congrats again on a great well deserved win..

Usually don't do this, but you guys looked great shorthanded and the game could have turned out either way.

Totally impressed by that defense, especially since they all work for minimum wage except Freeney.

Coming into this game, I thought the Pats were significantly superior to the Colts...
Now I think these two teams are very close in talent...
Indy's D suprised me. Most teams have been lucky to hurry Brady a couple of times a game. You guys did it for the entire game.
Addai suprised me too. I knew he was good, but today was something else...
Anyone could've won that game; just a matter of who was lucky enough to be ahead when the clock stopped.

Here's to a 16-0, and a 15-1 season; and a rematch in (hopefully blizzard conditions in) Foxboro...

The Colts defense was really impressive. In the late 3rd my hatred for the refs starting turning into a respect for the Colts.

Addai was a beast. You can't say enough positives about him in this game.

That said, this was not a great game. It was an awful game. The only reason I'm not still seething is because the Pats won. That referee crew deserves a beating behind the stadium for totally ruining the game.

Thanks for the discussion. I have to say that I was very impressed with the Colts, especially there defense. They looked tough and played with heart. Hope the injured players are back soon. I must admit that I'm cheering for SD, howeve I do see a big win for you next week.

It was a terrific performance by the players and coaches on both sides. These two teams outclass the rest of the league by a large margin--which makes the caliber of the refereeing all the more discouraging. This was supposed to be a showcase for the NFL's very best, and the guys in stripes dragged the level way down.

But the Colts are plenty good. I'd be shocked not to see a rematch!

A few bad calls?

Yea, nice understatement.

I am still seething.

Hate say it, but the Colts suck...........

jk............... a great game

 

[roguepatriot]

Great game, especially by Addai and that D (and at least for the first half by the coaching staff). As one of the few on this site that predicted a close game, (thanks to a healthy respect for the new D), I am happy with the result, but would not predict the rematch, even if it is in Gilette (but please not with the same set of juvenille zebras). Hope you continue to showcase what the NFL should be until then.

Those two teams are so far beyond the rest of the league, it's ridiculous. I was really impressed by the Colts D, but the Pats had it worn down/figured out in the 4th quarter. Not sure how much being shorthanded at LB affected that.

The Colts, any other season, they'd be a solid SB favorite. This year, though ... it's a special Pats team. Tough and very talented. I can't see the Colts winning in Foxboro in January. But it's closer than I thought, that's for sure.

Another Colts fan here offering congrats to your team.

I said in another thread that I felt you guys are actually quite classy compared to other teams welcoming other teams fans.

Good win today. I was sort of measuring the Colts against the Pats and I was pleased overall with our performance, but I think both teams are fairly close and are certainly better than the other 30. The key will be who will improve more by January.

I think we'll see you guys down the road. Good luck.

 

[colttales]

great game..Your team played their butts off..and I will not use injuries as an excuse the better team won...good job with luck maybe we will meet again!

 

[jct]

Three classy Colts.
Thank you for your sportsmanship.
You have a truly great team.
As one of you said whoever fields the best team in the playoffs will win.
Thats fair and true.
Cya then...

The Colts played extremely well today.

I was thoroughly impressed.

I think Dungy has done a masterful job with his new (and inexpensive) talent.

I said before that I think they are a top 25 all-time team, and the best of the recent Colts teams.

They just have the misfortune of playing in a year when we are trying to make a case for best team ever.

I kind of hope Indy goes 16-2. It would really emphasize what an amazing season the Patriots are having.

I'm home from the game and it was really fun until about 4:00 to go in the game. When the Colts gave the ball back to New England at that point I just had a feeling that was about the be the ball game even though the Colts were still up.

I can't wait for the rematch. Hopefully everyone will be heathy and the refs will just signal the touchdowns and we can enjoy the "real" Super Bowl.
