So...do the Colts and Pats even play this year?
 
with all the other news going around it seems that the fact is lost that one of the biggest (most hyped) games in regular season history will be going down in a few weeks. Pats come to the Dome for the last time ,new look Pats against the defending champs. Anybody else wish it was next week?

I wish it were next week because I think we'll win comfortably - barring injury - and there's many weeks to go for the injury factor to kick in. But all things (injuries, suspensions) being equal I expect the Patriots to win by 10+.

The only team that really worried me right now (and this can change quickly) is Pittsburgh because they're the only ones with solid units across the board - IMO of course.

1 game at a time, baby! (but, yes, I look forward to it very much!)

Are you kidding? No one will shut up about the game. I'm looking forward to it, but it isn't for, what, over a month?

It will be, and should be, the most hyped game of the year.

In the meantime we play Cincy, Cleveland, Dallas, Washington, and Miami. Not exactly right around the corner.

My response

One game at a time, we have a few teams to worry about before we start thinking about the Colts.

You have Denver, Bucs and the Jags to worry about. Those are going to be tough games, tough physically and tough to win.

See ya Nov 4th

I strongly disagree. The Colts are the Champs and as of now have won 8 games in a row, the Defense is playing strong the offense is not clicking and is still scoring 31 ppg. Plus the AFC South is the toughest divison in football right now. Who have the Pats played?? http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com...tandings.htmlI I have faith in the champs

Two 2006 playoff teams. How many 2006 playoff teams have the Colts played?

Well we'll see. Sure the Colts won last year but that doesn't mean they were the best team nor does it mean they are currently the best team.

AFCS ? It's improved I guess but I'm not ready (cue up Dennis Green) to "Crown their Ass" quite yet. You beat Houston without their best player, a solid Tennessee and a seemingly bad New Orleans. BFD.

It's all words, it means nothing, I am fully confident we'll smoke your ass just like we would have done last year had all things been equal. Not only do we have the depth now to sustain injuries better than last year but we also have a significantly upgraded starting lineup. You have neither.

You should read that link I posted in my last post. Those teams have shown nothing to suggest they will be any good this season (Jets, Bills), even though Chargers still should make the playoffs. The Titans and Texans are strong divisional opponents who play the Colts twice a year. Last year the Colts went 0-3 on the road against divisional opponents. This year they are already 2-0. Now the Saints are looking a lot weaker week by week but the Colts D still stopped them at fullpower.
