As far as not talking about it on here, there is nothing I can say that would be relevant to you all. You all love your team and like good fans when you feel they were unjustly attacked, you won't budge on protecting them. Can I convince someone differently? No way, whats the point. Plus its over, as much as I can't make anyone think anything, the Pats fans aren't going to accept anything less than this was wrong or their team was wronged. Its mainly the same reason I don't get into the every other day Manning v. Brady argument. It's pointless.
Now about noisegate or any other thing that comes across the board about the Colts. First of all, half of its posted by a few fans that want to self congratulate by being down on the Colts, which is fine. For example, the whole Moss is 231% better than Wayne thread recently. However, the boards own Pats fans usually self police on these things and come down on these, imo, nonsensical threads. Very lastly, you said it, there is only smoke, never fire. They never get convicted, hell they never get charged on the noisegates and such. So therefore its not an issue, its not been proven.
Another couple of side notes, I don't like excuses, I don't like conspiracies, I tend to moreso internalize it more because I think that builds roads to improvement. I think excuses, like the refs, like blaming a loss on a bad call should be substitued with wow they should have made one more play or they should have not been in a position to let a bad call effect them. Hell Polian is the king of blaming external things, I think he's just as wrong.
I mean its just a different mindset than some. There are some on here that feel the same way I do, though and won't use all these excuses or have to still play the disrespect card, they just bask in their teams success especially the Pats who are, so far, perfect. It confounds me why people don't enjoy it more.
I'm still basking in the Superbowl victory last year (the first time my whole life a pro team I follow won the big enchilda at anything)
So I guess when the Colts get convicted of one of these atrocities, I'll come on here and completely condemn them for doing so, but until them its just smoke.
