No one knows how this game is going to turn out. We can make predictions all day long, but in the end, truth will only be told when the play clock ticks read 00:00.
There are going to be trolls on BOTH sides of the ball. There'll be people on BOTH sides screaming blowout - with absolute certainly.
Remember a couple of years when we beat you 27-3 in the play offs? I don't believe we were supposed to win that one. There have been times (when we've faced each other) when one of or the other was supposed and didn't. Trying to make accurate predictions for this game is much like trying to predict who the next poor bast**d Paris Hilton will pass an STD to is going to be.
It COULD be a blow out. We could get blown out, you could be blown out. It could end with a tie breaking field goal in the final 2 seconds. No one knows, but God and as Tony so eloquently put - "God doesn't care about football."
I suspect a lot of the blow out talk is just fan's being fans. But, there can come a point when it gets out of hand. I agree.
However, back to the respect points. I ask you to take a moment and go visit the Pats official site's message board. Go look and see how much "trash talking" there is about the Colts. You'll find there is none, or very very little. Now go to the Colts' board and look for the trash talking, insults, and NE bashing... thread after thread after thread after thread. Page after page.
