EVERY game was called like that back then. The Colts' defenders could have done the exact same thing to the Pats' receivers and nothing would have been done.
We're not objecting just to the calls. We're objecting to the fact that the refs were calling the Pats based on a different rulebook, it appears.
Seriously, it is my honest opinion that people as dumb as you should be put down like stray dogs. Since that can't be done, can the guy at least get banned? I understand that it's good to get some input from other fans, but there's a difference between contributing some substance (there are plenty of Colts fans here that do that) and this guy.
Nobody wants to hear that the league ordered the refs to call the game in favor of the Colts but I have news for some of you.
The NFL is a multi-billion dollar industry that is as much concerned with who is representing them in thier biggest games as well as how much money that team will bring the league.
While the Patriots and Colts are bringing the league a significant percentage of the league revenue (As well as the Cowboys, Steelers and a few others).
Payton Manning, like it or not, is now the face of the NFL. Who do you think the NFL wants to promote?
The league knows that if the playoffs go through New England, the Colts chances of representing the NFL in the SuperBowl are significantly less.
So for those who think with thier hearts that the NFL would not fix a game here and there, think of it this way: If you were a CEO of a billion dollar corporation, would you invest the most money into a product that produced a modest return or a product that produced a giant return? You'll kill your company if you choose the former.
The NFL has been fixing games for several years. Lately its gotten obnoxious. With High def, Tivo, and instant replay, we can now see how blatant it has become.
Some say, the first game to be fixed was when the Jets beat the Colts in superbowl III.
Whoa! Although I also have a deservedly low opinion of IndyJoe from his inane posts is Michael Vick now posting here under a pseudonym?
oh goodness... the article made me realized that we almost got screwed.... i hope this never happens when we face indy again...
It's a general expression, not an endorsement of the practice. Stray dogs get put down all the time, and it's cruel and wrong, but it happens. The Vick comparison is a little uncalled for.
I just don't get all the whining coming from Pat's fans. It's pathetic.
As Bill all but admitted during the AFC Championship game a few years ago it's the Pats strategy to grab and hold on every play because they can't call a penalty on every single play. Kraft and the pats were the favored franchise back then.
Things have changed.
The other poster is right. All you guys whine like little *****es. Ohhhh, the refs. Ohhhh, the crowd is too loud. Waaaaaaa! Waaaaaa!
lol, so hilarious. Not sure if there has ever been a team in history that has benifitted more from ridiculous call/non-calls then the Pats during their Superbowl runs. Now the tables have turned, and you guys can't take it. All you said before was "give us credit, we wer just better." Now you can't do the same.
I pray that we get the Pats again in the playoffs. Facts are: Indy left about 17 points on the field. The game shouldn't have been even close. We are a built for the bad weather, not the bad running game of the pats, and their exposed defense. With a healthy team, we will dominate the Pats in the playoffs. Your old defense will be tired from not resting trying to go undefeated. The Colts are one of the youngest teams, and will be fresh.
Can't wait. I just hope you guys are healthy so you won't have any excuses.
Yeah, sure you want the Patriots again little boy. You're full of crap. You had us at home, had the heat turned up, the noise pumped in, fake snap calls shouted out, blocked the coach to QB communication, and the Patriots had the most penalty yards against them in the franchises history, and guess what little boy, YOU STILL LOST! You want the Pats on the road, in the playoffs? Yeah, sure you do. Post your lies somewhere else.
And Simmons!?!?!?! If he wrote Hitler was a great guy just misunderstood you all would nod your head in agreement.

There ya go! This is a pure, simple, concise example of a miserable Pats fan. Can't win without complaining about all the injustices, real or perceived, done to you. Can you record this and just loop it for the opening of the website?

All you conspiracy theorist realise that Goodell and Kraft are best friends, right? Come on, don't be so dumb. If anything, he wants to see the Pats win.
