Well, I find it interesting how events have done a full 180 with the Pats/Colts rivalry.
Brady started out 6-0 against Manning and in '04 beat them in the AFCCG on the way to their SB win. The following season, the Colts headed into Gillette in early November and I'm sure most people looked at the '05 schedule and had penciled in a W next to that game given the Pat's success. I'm sure all of us were completely stunned when the Colts headed out with a 40-21 win.
Since then, they've handed us some tough losses and now after going 3-0, it's obvious that their fans and a lot of media have fallen into the same trap.....thinking that they "own" the Patriots.
So, now we have the Patriots headed to Indy in early November following a season in which the Colts beat the Pats in the AFCCG on the way to winning their SB.
A little bit of reverse history would seem to be lining up here, don't you think?
