I'd like to add some more Random Thoughts....
1. A number of people saved the game for us, but one of them was Jarvis Green, forcing that fumble. Otherwise, it was eerily like the AFCCG in January.
2. Mike and Mike in the Morning said Brady's bombs look like punts. I hope Moss isn't getting him too used to lobbing it up, which didn't work on the Stallworth-aimed interception.
3. Superb W, but if we want to downplay expectations for the Colts-Pats AFCCG in two months, remember that the Colts practically beat us (i) without Harrison (ii) without Harrison's replacement (iii) without Tarrick Glenn [not gonna change] (iv) without Tarrick Glenn's replacement (v) with Sanders hurting late in the game. I unfortunately did not emerge with the feeling that we're the better team, although fair refereeing might have changed that.
4. We won this game with our defense. And what a great day for our red zone defense to show up!
5. Nick Kaczur made me wonder....
6. The Colts defense has a number of Who Is That? players. It seems that what's happening is that they've loaded up with a bunch of James Sanderses. Drafted. Taught the system for a couple years. Moved into starting lineup with little fanfare. Do the job.
7. Why had nobody been talking about the Colts' chances of going 16-0. If they had won, I would have predicted 16-0 for them.
8. Why are so many media idiots already saying Indy can't win in January in Foxboro? They point to Manning's history there in 2003-2004. The mistake they make is focusing on the LOCATION or the WEATHER instead of focusing on the TEAM. Manning now is not Manning then. Colts defense now is not their defense then. One national host even talked about how the Colts no longer will be hurt by our home field MUDFIELD advantage. (Ever hear of field turf?)
9. We have to figure out how to defend/tackle on Addai's outside runs.
10. Why is Brady the only QB in the NFL who routinely hands off and/or play-fakes by standing for a moment face-to-face with his RB?
(Somehow my reply became post #1 but this is Aluminum Seats's thread.)
