HBM because you are a Colts homer I can see why you are defending this but what good does it do for Polian and Dungy to coplain to the league about the schedule they were given?
ALL teams at some point or another have to face a challenge like this. TRUE cahmpions would take this in stride and NOT complain to the league about it. This is where we as Pat fans loathe the Colts! You won't see BB or Kraft or anyone else inside the organization that matters complaining to the league about a schedule that was predetermined years in advance. THAT'S what champions do, this just continues to make the Colts look like whiny little b*tches.
Your team may have a hack "reporter" on their side (who by the way is bordering on slander with his articles) but even he looks like a little baby.
Keep crying, we love the taste of your tears!
I agree that it doesn't do them much good. But my guess is that they could give a crap about what some whacko MB posters think
As far as the schedule being made out years in advance, that is not true.
The OPPONENTS are determined, but the ACTUAL schedule, from week 1-16, is done each off season.
BTW, when is the last time you uys played in Miami in September??
Like I said before, the bigger issue is really the 4 week stretch, at least they have NE HOME before they go west, but it is a brutal section, none the less. I think they will look at it as a challenge, and rise up to the occasion.
If we were an 8-8 team, that would be one thing. But being a SB contender, one game might dictate the difference b/w a wildcard and a home game, or a road Playoff game versus HFA.
But, in the end, it is what it is.
