Wow, most of the people I was talking to today said that the Colts got beat because San Diego was a better team yesterday. The Colts tried to win, but didn't. That's what the Coach said, that's what the players said. I don't remember too many excuses from fellow fans at all, the media on the other hand, they make bunches of excuses.
I still look forward to the possibility of the Patriots coming to Indianapolis, win or lose, because the Patriots are the team to beat in the playoffs. The Patriots are a team that deserves respect and should be the playoff favorite no matter where they play. 8 and 0 in the playoffs is incredible, more incredible than 13 and 0 or really even 16 and 0 would have been.
I am still filled with pride that our small market team has somehow gotten into the heads of so many of the fans of honestly the Greatest Football Team of this young Century.
