Re: Will the pats go 16-0
First, congrats on a great game against Indy this week! The Pats overcame adversity, (hostile environment, lots of penalties, etc.) and still overcame it all to pull out a win. As an unbiased and neutral observer, it was just a great football game!
That being said, I still think that Pittsburgh has the BEST shot at upsetting the Pats. The Colts Defense came out hot, getting pressure on Brady out of the gate, and it worked! However, either the o-line made adjustments or Indy's D simply gassed, cause that pressure was noticeably less and less as the game progressed. I'm not naive enough to think that the Steelers offense is on par with NE, but I think Pittsburgh's physical, blitzing style of defense could be the factor that could keep them in it. Now, the Steeler D has been running hot and cold this season, so it all depends on which unit shows up December 9th, but I think this will definitely be an interesting game....especially with NE coming off a short week against another physical opponent in the Ravens.
Best of luck, but I don't think beating Indy seals the deal on an undefeated season. Still plenty of football to be played! :rocker:
