Anyone hear the interview with Phil Simms on the Steve Czaban show? He said the worst thing about doing the game Sunday was that it was sweltering in the dome and he was sweating like crazy.
Considering it was in the low 50s during the game they must've really had to JACK that heat up to get it that hot in there.
Agree with what somebody else said - If Polian and Co. did that thinking they were going to get an advantage, it backfired big time. Pats got better as the game went on. They might not do that next time. This tactic didn't help Indy.
a. We now also know that Polian and Co. had fake crowd noise amped into the stadium when the Patriots were on offense. This may have helped Indy some, it's hard to know. Not enough though.
b. According to Tom Brady, the Indy defensive linemen were calling out fake snap counts. Brady said he got on the refs about it, and so if it helped, it was most likely only for a while. I'm guessing the refs stopped them, although with this crew, that's not a definite.
c. Patriots had no coach to QB communication for the whole game. BB said team had to go to hand signals. It would appear that tactic worked early as the offense sputtered, but it seemed like the Pats figured it out, the more the game went on.
If I hear one more Indy fan talk about how clean, fair, moral, and ethical they are, I think I'm going to puke. I think we need to put an asterisk next to the Colts name, at the end of this season. Come to think of it, using the CameraGate logic, we can assume this has gone on every game at INDY since the franchise has existed.
