It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I know we're all talking about it but honestly I don't think they'll do it. They may be seeing them again this year plus I don't get the sense that they want any kind of "revenge" nor have a lot of contempt for that organization. They just want 5-0 and that's it.
Now IMO if it was the Ravens this week... that would be a different story.
I think they will calmly and cooly go up and down the field as much as the Colts let them.
Because the Patriots are just a much better team than the Colts as we've seen the last four outings.Agreed. I don't see why people are writing this off as a slaughter. The Colts are coming off a 10-day rest for a game at home on national TV.

LOL, the score might end up this way, but BB will just say after the game, and I quote:A version of this would be OK:
12/17/89: Bengals 61 Oilers 7

There was really no other coach hated as much as Jerry Glanville.
Head Coach for the Oilers who replaced long time Houston coach Bum Phillips, Glanville had the roughest and toughest players on the field as he showed off his group of guys that would play after the whistle with late hits and plenty of trash talk. Glanville dressed in all black on Sundays and was seen as the enemy of the Central. And no one hated Glanville than the Bengals own Sam Wyche. So when Glanville brought his black getup to Riverfront for a Week 16 matchup with the Bengals, Wyche would not let him out easy.
The Houston Oilers were sitting at 9-5 and at the top of the AFC Central as they traveled to play the 7-7 Bengals. Wyche and the Bengals came out firing, and literally wouldn’t stop until the clock hit all zero’s in the fourth quarter...
Bengals 45 Oilers 0, 3rd Q,
Wyche...calls for an onside kick that is recovered by Bengals WR Ira Hillary. That would lead to the third Bengal to run for a touchdown, this time it was Eric Ball from five yards out to extend the Bengals lead to an incredible 52-0 mark...
Backup Quarterback, fellow left hander Erik Wilhelm tossed a ten yard touchdown to Hillary who added to his onside kick recovery for the final Bengals touchdown. But the scoring wasn’t over. Wilhelm, who completed seven of his eight attempts, found Stanford Jennings for an 11 yard completion as the time ran down. Wyche called a time-out to stop the clock and allowed Jim Breech to add three final points on the board. Final Score Bengals 61 Oilers 7....
“I don’t like phonies and I don’t think Glanville is a very genuine guy”, Wyche said postgame. “I feel sorry for the Houston players having to put up with him.”
Wyche and Glanville have never spoken since this meeting.
LOL, the score might end up this way, but BB will just say after the game, and I quote:
"Good to get a win on the road against a tough opponent."
"We had some good plays, but there are still things we need to work on. I need to coach better and the players need to execute better."
"We're on to the Jets."
Book it.

Call me old fashion or whatever but I'm nervous about this game because you never know on any given Sunday. The Patriots are clearly the more superior team, but as we saw in 2007, sometimes the other team can get quite a few bounces their way that allow them to pull off an upset.
I think the Patriots will win and I hope its a total blowout of epic proportions, but I can't help but be nervous for this game. It's going to be an intense "playoff like", emotional game on Sunday Night Football, on the road in a very hostile stadium to a team that just had 10 days to prepare for an opponent that they despise. Wouldn't surprise me if they pulled a Rex Ryan and had started preparing for the Patriots weeks ago
Agree. I want to see a bloodbath, but I fear that this "blowout fever" might backfire on us fans
