Yes. I want to see history, and I want the best theater that money can buy. I want the hype, I want the best versus the best with no ambiguity. I want to settle things until the playoffs. I want it to be in their house, give them every advantage that they can take, and then bury them.
I want to see something eerily predictable happen, like the undefeated teams staying that way until they play each other. I want to see them knocked off one by one, slowly, like the way Clint Eastwood knocked off the bad guys one by one. I want it sink into the heads of the fans of the remaining teams that only one team is actually left standing, and that they faced the best of the other lot to get that way. I want the fans of the other teams to drool and wonder what it's like to be us.
What the hell, we spent thirty or forty years wondering and drooling didn't we? We watched all of those Dallas-SF dream matchups that were in the stratosphere where the NFL gods actually reside. We watched all those Redskins-Giants matchups that looked like wars. And that was great football. Those were *their* teams though, not ours. It was always their teams.
Come on, this is it. This is history if we meet head-to-head with a combined record of 15-0. If that doesn't get the football blood flowing nothing will. If that doesn't make your NFL fantasy matchup come true, nothing ever will. What the hell did we dream about all summer, beating the Bills?
Anybody who wants the Colts to lose in between times is either a calcualating mathemetician, or a non-believer in who this team is. I think I know who this team is and they don't have to have help from anybody. I want that matchup because if they can't win it, then they don't deserve to be called the best at that point. I want that confirmation, either way, time to put up or shut up. At the end of that day, only one bunch is left standing, and the nay sayers have to admit that they were wrong.
Why is it everyone ignores the fact that the Patriots opponents have a 14-20 record?
They actually have a 14-14 record when not playing the Patriots. Nice try though chief.
I like your style, MichiganDave.
I do , the hype leading up to this game was amazing, could you only imagine the hype for the Colts game??? The ratings will blow the Cowboy game and any Red Sox playoff game through the water... I want one more battle of the undefeated's but first thing is first, take care of Miami and The Skins..
The Colts will be undefeated come November 4 and will hand your Pats their first loss, hands down. :rocker:

You've got to be kidding me.The Razor is always rockin & rollin in January.No team wants to come to the cold,snowy Gillette stadium in January.This guy gets it! I want the Colts unbeaten, at full strength, and with ALL the hype. I am fully confident that we will finish with as good a record if not better so a win against them gives us HFA.
Besides,
1) I think if there is any team where HFA is overrated , its the Pats. Except for the game after video gate, Gillette Stadium crowd is one of the weakest in the country and offers the team little advantage.
2) I don't have a chance at getting a ticket to a Pats home playoff game anyway.
But its a moot point because I think we are clearly the favorite for the #1 seed. Seymour returning will only solidify this position
Jacksonville's rushing offense has been quite impressive this season. I could envision the Jaguars pulling off the upset with a healthy dose of Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew crammed down the Colts throat.

In the meantime, I'm not sold on the Colts defense whatsoever, especially against the run.

Historically, don't you think the Packers are better at it?HFA might be overrated in crowd-noise, but no one wants to play in the snowy tundra in January. And no team plays better in the snowy tundra than the Pats.
