Tedy Bruschi in response to Bill Polian saying his organization didn't feel 16-0 was a 'historical achievement'.
Listening to Bill Polian, it sounds like he's too worried about the Patriots.
He's trying to break these records that the Patriots set, but actually those records the Patriots set were meaningless. We're talking about regular season games, we're talking about consecutive victories, that stuff doesn't matter, it's about Super Bowls.
Listen, Indianapolis Colts fans, don't let them fool you. It is historic to go 16-0 because that means you have a chance to go 19-0. You only can go 19-0 if you go 16-0 first. And 19-0 trumps every single team record that there's ever been made. It trumps the '72 Dolphins' 17-0, also.
I know what it's like to play when it feels like there's a gorilla on your back of pressure, when you're 15-0, But it's the most satisfying thing when we did achieve that 16-0 mark. And yes we lost the Super Bowl to a great New York Giants team. But this is the problem...
When you compare the '09 Colts to the '07 Patriots, I'm going to say something that a lot of people are thinking but aren't saying, at least the '07 Patriots had the guts to go for it, that's what they did, that's what the Indianapolis Colts didn't do and that's their problem.
