Blue team dominating
I imagine the sound will be deafening.
“Let’s see them do that in January”
“They wouldn’t have beaten us without all of our injuries”
Boston columnist morons will spew that it means nothing until the Colts beat the Patriots in the playoffs. This game doesn’t mean as much because of the injuries, they’ll say. Don’t get it twisted. Last night, the Indianapolis Colts put a sound whuppin on the New England Patriots and sent them to bed. What happened to your hero Tedy Bruschi? I don’t think I heard Al Michaels and John Madden mention his name once last night. Here’s the deal: The Patriots were just dominated.
The Patriots as a team had 34 rushing yards total. Peyton Manning had 24 himself.
Indianapolis did not punt until the 4th quarter with less than 90 seconds left on the clock.
New England did not sack Peyton Manning once.
Indy: 75 plays, 36:41 possession / New England: 56 plays, 23:19
After Indy quickly went down the field to grab a 7-0 lead, New England was faced with a 4th and short and decided to try to make a statement and go for it – they converted via a Brady pass. On the Colts next drive, they were faced with a 4th and short, and they answered with an Edgerrin James run. Statement countered.
Down by 2 scores in the 3rd, the normally conservative Bill Belichick resorted to an onside kick to try to catch the Colts off guard. Indy recovered. I turned to Deep Cover and said “desperate move.”
So now what? Indianapolis is 8-0. New England is 4-4. I remarked last night that, should the Colts win, I hoped that Bostonians would “cry in their chowder.” The Colts are 2 games clear of anyone else in the AFC and are definitely in the driver’s seat in terms of home field advantage. The Pats, at 4-4, still lead the weak AFC East by a full game. If they were in any other AFC division they’d be no better than 3rd, but they’re currently the best bet to win their division and host a home playoff game. “It doesn’t matter if they can’t do it in January”? Not only is that a metric shitload of idiocy, consider this: The Patriots may not make it far enough to even play the Colts. And even then, it probably will be in Indy.
