I am waiting anxiously for the rematch of the Patriots with the Indianapolis COLTS this Sunday.

Patriots and Belichick are using extra motivation with the words by the idiot kicker Vander_JERK.

Go Pats Go!

Next game either Jets or Steelers !

well G........(what a filthy nick you have) did not even want to spell.

No body can say what will happen in the next game. Thats why they are games. You and me can't predict what will be the end result.

But the NE crew is working pretty hard to develop stategies against the high flying Payton and the team. What was your basis to flatly say that NE will loose?

Its easy to become number one but difficult to remain number one. No exception to Patriots, but at lease NE tries to remain, though at time they have failed to deliver with teams like Miami.

Go Pats Go.

weather on that day:

Probably cloudy: Max 31 Min 17

stinky G...do you think weather will be a factor that day? The Colts do not perform well in the cold weather.

Well Shirish no need to feel ashamed to call my name...he he

But as far as NE Patriots are concerned... They have never been consistant. I mean both the superbowls NE won were not dominant(more luck). Even with 12 wins I say this cause they are NOT consistant. Except for a few games in the begining the rest were kinda lack luster. With Chalie gone, and the defensive coordinator interveiwing for Cleveland.....too much distraction. Brady is great but Peyton is too. With all the injuries I would have to hand it to the COLTS.

Weather is not an issue cause its as cold in Indianapolis as in NE.

Hi Guys, When is the Superbowl?? I'm sorry for asking this stupid question, actually i'm not a big fan of football (forget abt big not a fan at all ;o) ) but i like to watch superbowl esp the half time and the ads. I heard Paul McCartney is the guest for hal-time show... coz they don't want no cloth malfunctioning this time ;o)

stinky G

Charlie is gone after the season and should not have any affect for the games this year.
defensive coordinator.. not of a distraction at all.

See what you don't understand is, one need not be dominent to win. You should be praising them for the kind of game plan they come up with each team differently. How they used Brown and others for the defensive plays make them winners,( not all the time though).

It will be a nice and close game.

Which side does your name suggest; offensive or receiving ?

Hey Gaand.. I can't believe u said Patriots are not Consistent.. what do u mean by consistent? U mean to win 14 games out of 16 and having the NFL most winning streak, 21 games, is not a consistent winning of the team kaso? And Colts who won only 12 games and lost 4, and also lost a game with New England at the beginning of the year, is a consistant winner huh?? Anyways, Colts are also a good team and so are the Patriots who won 2 out of last 3 Superbowl. So, whichever teams makes the mistake they they gonna lose, so I hope the best team wins..
Go Patriots!!!

I bet gaa....aa is comparing pats to pitts when talking about being a consistent team this year :p

"Weather is not an issue cause its as cold in Indianapolis as in NE."
what a stupid claim, have u ever watched the game, ........DUH!

unkown bro, Ga....aa is talking about NEbraska :p

RCA DOME ???

Since my beloved Packers bombed against the Vikes I have been feeling weird. Never would have iamgined that my fav number #4 could do so bad against one of the worst defence in the league. Oh well..gotta move on..I hope Favre comes back for couple more...

NE is a solid team since they have such an allround game..but some of the injuries on the defensive side could really hurt them..nevertheless..I dont see how NE is gonna drop down and roll..they are pretty solid..

Manning is a better regular season QB than Brady...but Brady comes out totally different in the playoffs..he is so calm..steady and effective...if I was to choose one player during hte playoffs..it would be Brady..the guy is so good... And also...Manning wont be throwing 5 tds time against the Pats...him having a game with 3td can still make the colts win..that is only if there are no or less turnovers...Indy defence isnt that good but if they can hold the Pats to less than 20 points then they have chance..or less....Indy is going back home..

My prediction:

Pats 27 Colts 21

Many of the NE Patriots fan are wishing for a bad weather on Sunday, including me.
Pats fair better in lousy weather.

AX,

I think "consistentcy" is a relative term. Though Pats lost to a team like Dolphin, but their record of 14-2 this year, is a proof of consistency, well designed game plans.

Shirish,
Remember when the rumor of Weis leaving led to how many interceptions & loss to Miami ? And you tell me thats no distraction ? he he Yes Shirish nobody know what will happens in the next game he he he That even a retard knows(no need to mention) IS THAT WHY ITS CALLED A GAME ? ohhHHH I didn't know that !!!thanks ... An army is just an army but with a good comander in cheif and generals's battle plan is what makes the difference. With all thats going on outside the feild you don't think this team is one bit distracted ? PLayers can only be as good as the coaches make them.
ubiquitous,
Go watch the games when Troy, Emmet, Irwin were in Dallas, or Montana in 49ers or even Steven Young or even Brett Farvre with Packers 5 yrs ago. Look at their games and then come and talk to me.
Unknown,
No I dave not watched the game I am just talking out of my ass YEAH !!!

You are so right...Bill Belichick is considered one of the greatest coaches (may be of all times) for his contribution to make what Pats are today.

Yes Belichick(CIC) is great but Weiss(one of his general) and the defensive coordinator(his other general) are busy picking out recruits and giving interveiws for a head coach job. All eyes not on the ball game...its elsewhere.

Shirish said "Bill Belichick is considered one of the greatest coaches (may be of all times) for his contribution to make what Pats are today. "
>>> Shirish bro, here are some of the coaches that I think of great NFL coach. May be you want to search each name before you crown Bill B as the greatest.

Vince Lombardi
Tom Landry
Bill Walsh
Mary Levy
Don Shula

I rate coaches like Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcell ahead of Bill B. He is not even a fall of fame coach (as of today) forget about him being the greatest of all time.

The foundation for this current Patriot team was laid by Parcells. Most of the players on the rosters are his picks. Yeah this team is no where in comparison to Jimmy johnson's Dalls cowboys or Bill Walsh's 49ers. I agree with A/X

Well done Pats. The team work paid off.

Manning 0-7 in Foxboro. The 4th most scoring team in the NFL history contented with a field goal of that JERK.

Corey Dillon rocks.
Manning sucked at the side most of the time.
Snow flurries.
NE possessed the ball most of the times (2:1). How was that third quarter?
Big plays. Well interception when 2 secs left!!
Dungy challenging worthlessly and mild mannered guy shouting a lot.
Good game.

he Bronco's last week played lot better than the first half by making it a running game. The blitzs did not work well against Manning.

The best bet for the Patriots to win the game is

1. Keep Manning off the field as long as possible.
2. manage the clock with lesser errors
3. use Corey Dillon more.
4. make hugh plays in the fourth quarter as it will be a tight game.
5. Keep the mild mannered Dungy, shout a lot with the indy punter

Go Pats go.

Manning 0-7 at Foxboro

NE Pats fan with a big big relief.

Stinky G
I guess NE pats were not distracted by Weis as you have mentioned above. Weis is a very good general and Belichick will fight the war with the army he has not what he wants.

Caoch Belichik's game plan against the MVP and fourth highest scoring team in the history of NFL was simply the best.

Wish Ty Law, Poole and Seymore were there in the game with much hyped game agaist the Colts.

Now the challenge lies ahead with the Steelers... will the presence of Corey Dillon make a difference? Time will tell

Go Pats Go.

NE Patriots favorite against Steelers.

It will be fun to watch the Rookie quaterback and Steelers who beat the Patriots on Halloween.

Will history repeat or brilliant Belichick come out with totally new scheme of plays?

The game with Steelers on the halloween day was without C. Dillon. Brady made some really foolish mistakes too. Too many points on the first quarter. But this coming game is not the same, they won't make the same mistakes again. I know Steelers has the best defence but Patriots Offensive line ain't bad either they will give some time to Brady to make some good plays. And Patriots defence? leave that to Bill... he will make 'em ready for any kinda offense. So, if the rookie quarterback ( Ben) plays like it did with Jets then no way the Pittsburgh will even come close to Patriots but then Staley and Bus .. we have to worry about 'em big RB's. Tackle the Bus down low.. cause he ain't coming down unless you hit him really low. All together the game will be a great match. I hope Patriots plays like they did with Colts.. and minimize their mistakes. Go Patriots !!!!
