sound like your both confident for the fact that you actually both think you have chances
I'm willing to bet Giants tickets are some of the hardest to get....20+ year waiting list...take that!
We all know the Super Bowl is next week at 4:00. As if any NFC team has a change at beating either of these two teams. Perhaps the super bowl will be the AFC Championship, as the case the past how many number of years now?
Didnt take me 20 years to get to a patriots game so I'll consider myself to be lucky.
same thing with Giants tix...left in wills...I've been on the list for about 6 or 7 years already
1. Washington Redskins
Waiting List: 155,000
2. Green Bay Packers

Only way to the superbowl is through indy???? HUH...
right now both NE and Indy are undefeated but indy is 1/2 game back because they have played one less game so I fail to see your logic of how the road to the superbowl goes through indy..
Only IF and thats a giant unlikely IF the colts beat NE can you then say that the superbowl goes through indy.
Well we will know soon enough.. I would be surprised if indy beats them since I think the NE offense presents some serious match up problems for the indy defense, and the NE linebacking core is healthy now and improved from last year.
last year the colts exploited the middle of the field.. I don't think they will be able to do the same this year with the improvements made and the healthy of the linebackers and safeties this year.
Plus NE has played some good teams. San deigo, dallas , Cleavland and washington are all over .500 In fact Indy has played one less game against over .500 teams now that the texans are under .500
Good point.
I guess no one considered Dallas and Washington to be good teams. Since when were teams with 0 losses and 2 losses (at the time they played) bad teams?
Wes-
Your Pack's going down tonight.
What stats am I throwing out? Ive been saying all along how no matter if a team is good or if they suck the Patriots are blowing EVERYONE OUT and making EVERYONE look like crap. Im not the one out there getting stats on the record of teams between the colts/patriots and saying who's played harder teams b/c when it comes down to it it does not mean crap, you still need to win the game no matter who your playing.
I know your not going to bend and show weakness, but I know in the back of your mind that when New England rolls into town later this week and steps onto that field I know that in the back of your head your thinking....were so Fu#cked

Dont even compare the schedule of Indy and New England, you just make yourself look dumb.
I will copy what I said in the other thead -
The overall record for teams Indy has played - 27 - 23
The overall record for teams NE has played - 24 - 34
With that being said the Colts have also played 5 of 7 against teams at .500 or better. The pats have played 4 of 8 against .500 or better.
If you take the records of all teams both NE and Indy have played and take out the loses to NE and Indy. The teams Indy has played are 27-16, if you do the same for NE their teams are still under .500 at 24 - 26.
Not to mention the Pats have played 3 teams that have fewer wins than any team Indy has played. The Colts havent played any team with under 3 wins, let alone any with 0 or 1 win (btw your divison teams Miami and Jets).
As for this vaunted NE offense.
The Patriot O is not much if any better than Indy. Both have 4 - 5 playmakers and great QBs. The Colts are only averaging roughly 7 points per game less than the Pats and have been without Addai for several weeks unitl last week and Harrison is still out but iwill hopefully play next Sunday. See how the Patriots stats would look without Moss for 4 games or so.
Imo
Manning = Brady
Harrison < Moss
Wayne > Stallworth
Clark = Welker
Gonzalez = Gaffney
Addai > Maroney
All this will be settled next Sunday. At least until the Playoffs.
While the rest of that post is just blah blah stuff I dont care about this is more important. While on paper the colts offense and Patriots offense are comparable still think the Patriots offense has an edge over indy. Its just to many weapons for Indy to cover all at once. If Ben Watson comes back for this game which I really hope he does then that puts a definite edge for New England.
As far as the game at hand. AFC VS NFC....AFC wins.
Nothing I have said in this NFL thread makes me look dumb.. I can be backed up on this with statistical facts.. Not just opinions like some on here..
http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com/Articles/2_987_Quality_Standings.html
NE is 4-0 against teams CURRENTLY OVER .500 Indy is 3-0. The record at the time you played them really does not matter since a bad team can be 2-1 to begin the season then finish 6-10.. the texans are a good example of that.. Hot start but rapidly heading to 6-10 land...
BTW in the 4 wins against quality over .500 teams the average score has been 43-16 Not only do they beat good teams they rape them.
One last point INDY has also been very very good against good over .500 teams..
BTW everybody forgot the chargers. They don't suck.. I am 100 percent convinced that the beating they took set them back and now they have recovered. I know a bunch of people on here will call BS on me but they obviously never played sports. A big time ass raping in a game you made such a big deal about can ruin a season.
All of the retired NFL legends could find the fountain of youth and play the pats and loose and the football geniuses on the interweb will still find a way to consider them nobody..
I find it funny considering how they were talking on here about what a test dallas was going to be a few weeks back and now they seem to forget them..
Sure they have not had the hardest schedule.. but to say they have played nobody is laughable.. It's a excuse used by frauds to make them and their fraud friends feel better..
You can get any season ticket if you have pull.. This guy I know wanted season tickets for the patriots and did not have to wait.. he got them after the 03 superbowl.. All he had to do was pay for them no waiting list for 6 tickets really good seats too. He got them because his dad has a ton of pull.. This same family had celtics season tickets 2 rows behind the celtics bench during the 1980's
Pull matters.. for scrubs like us we wait on a phony list while they give the tickets to the people with pull
Haha yeah I mean they are busting every NFL record out there this season but its only due to their "crappy" schedule, not b/c they are just dominating everyone.
Dallas was the "Big Test" up to that point, but what happened? Is Dallas just not that good or are the Patriots just that good? Cant have it both ways so either Dallas sucks like the Bills and Jets and Bengals, or perhaps the Patriots did play a really good team and still $hit stomped them.
pretty much, Indy did not have the hardest schedule last year either but you dont see any of us bringing that up b/c its the most lame excuse anyone can use. Anyone can beat anyone any given sunday you still need to win games no matter who you play. The whole "they are only doing as good as they are" is only a lame excuse for peoples teams who have been rolled on or will get rolled on by the Patriots. If anyone wants to keep throwing out the stats for teams Indy VS NE has played then go for it, but just makes you look like more of an idiot b/c none of that crap even matters.
That's probably why Harrison did not play this week, wanted him as close to 100% as ge can be VS the Patriots and the Panthers were nothing they couldn't handle w/ out him.
The winner of this game will determine who has home field in the Playoffs. I don't see it being played in the RCA Dome though.
