we are a depleted team as well.... if you think about it.

No clue, we had the game all but wrapped up then started giving up 15 yard chunks - consistently. It was sad and predictable and once it started you knew it wasn't going to end.
That's a good question and one that I think Pees should have to answer. The Pats D looked like it just couldn't stop Manning from picking it apart at the end of the game last night. Were they gassed? Or was Manning just that much better than they were yesterday? Fair question.
The Colts had more subs on the defensive line. The Pats only had Ron Brace; TBC and Ninkovich were injured in the first half, which left Burgess, AD, Wilfork, Wright, and Pryor on the field for the entire 2nd half. Also explains why our pass rush failed so miserably in the end.27 of those 51 rushing yards came on one carry (Faulk I believe).
What I don't understand is how everybody is talking how worn down the Pats D was at the end. If the Pats D is so worn down, why isn't the Colts D worn down - they were on the field just as much as the Pats D.
