This is Special
 

Dear Pats Fans,

First I want to congratulate you guys on your perfect season thus far. Brady and everyone else have been truely impressive. I never thought I see the day that someone would even come close to Peyton's record but at this pace it looks like Brady will shatter it. This Sunday's game will be truely special for fans on both sides. After last years thriller, what better way to go at it again...this time both sides undefeated. What we are seeing here is a true rivalry that continues to gain strength as both teams continue to get better. A rivarly of this magnitude is not suppose to happen anymore. Salary cap issues almost don't permit this. It is funny because it has seemed like both sides have been able to capitalize from the cap instead of getting harmed by it. Both sides have great front offices and great coaching that allows the teams to maintain. The Colts and Pats continue to do what they do best...win ball games. Although it is difficult for me to say anything good about good old Billy Belichick, but he needs to be recognized as one of the best NFL head coaches ever. As a diehard Colts fan it is easy to correlate the Patriots excellence with the whole spygate issue. As I see it that is just a scapegoat. Sure what he was doing was wrong, but there is no doubt in my mind that the Patriots would still have three rings even if that was never going on. I guess the intent of my post is for all you Pats fans to know that there is a tremendous amount of respect from the Colts fans here in Indy. I am proud to be a Colts fan and I am even more proud that this whole Colts/Patriots mayhem ...is mayhem. The hype is great. How excited are all of you for this game. Sure its just regular season but the implications are endless. I will be at the Dome this Sunday and I am truely honored that I will witness the best fued in football unfold in front of my eyes. Good Luck Pats Fans. It is almost time for battle.

You REALLY believed that? :confused:

Good post theses rivalries are what makes watching sports special. If either team just plowed through the opposition on its way to the SB it would be kind of boring after a while. This makes the games more exciting, theres more anticipation, more sitting on the edge of your seat eyes glued to the tv. So heres to a great game with no injuries. :rocker:

Great post, Brett. Welcome aboard. I'm sorry (not really) to say that you very well may have a terrible time at the game tomorrow - but who knows?

Re: This is Special
 

Hey Brett, great post. You really encapsulated it. These are two of the Greatest Teams of All Time. They are deserving rivals.

Re: This is Special
 

Too much logic... does not compute...

Here's to a good game tomorrow. No injuries and of course... a Pats win :D :rocker:

Re: This is Special
 

The truth is that both teams and both coaches would have eventually been successful in terms of winning a SB but the only reason this rivalry has gone to it's present heights is because both were lucky enough to get elite QBs on their teams ...nothing more.

WOW,

Tremendous post.

Great read.

Thanks.

I don't ever remember the NFL having a rivalry THIS intense.

But remember everyone. Tomorow's game is for homefield.

Game 2 will be for all the marbles

Re: This is Special
 

You know whats interesting...If the Pats didn't play the Colts, we could've had a scenario where both teams ended 16-0; which would've really made the AFC championship game something extra special.

Unfortunately, since these two teams must meet, the Colts will have to settle for a 15-1 season...The first 15-1 team in history to play the conference championship game on the road.
