I am still in shock.
I'll admit, I was worried all week leading up to the game on how well the Patriots would match up with the Colts. I wasn't sure if our defense would be able to handle Manning/Harrison/Wayne.
Everything was going SOOOOOO perfectly. We were up 21-3, and we looked pretty damn good while building that lead too. Samuel and Hobbs were looking great, and that pick returned for a TD would give Manning something to think about.
We were up 21-3, and we were being coached by Belichick and being led by wonderboy Tom Brady. Brady is 12-1 in postseason and 10-0 in the dome. As much as I kept telling myself that the high-powered Colts could come back, I still didn't think it would happen to us. We are too good for that.
I still sit here writing to you in complete disbeilef that the Patriots lost this game. The fact that they did so by giving up 32 points in the second half is just sickening. It's flat out embarrassing. It should never have even been a close game. The fact that we lost a game in which we never trailed in the first 59 minutes is very disheartening. I suppose that's how the Chargers felt last weekend. They were very confident, and their team had been leading for most of the game (Pats had an early 3-0 lead), and let it slip in the final minute.
I hate this. This is a lonely feeling right now. My football season feels incomplete. I really can't believe that we got hit with the double whammy....not only did we get eliminated from the playoffs, but at the expense of arch rival Peyton Manning.
This is going to be a long offseason. I really thought they were going to do it again, and by that I mean go to the Super Bowl and win it. Heading into the playoffs I honestly didn't think they were going to win it all, but I thought they would be able to build off of that Chargers win. Through thirty minutes of today's game, they showed they could still play like champions. Unfortunatley, the clock struck twelve on the Pats when the second half started.
This sucks. I can't watch sportscenter or anyother news program. I can't take the sight of seeing my Pats be the vicitims of one of the worst playoff collapses of all time.+
