The way I see it, if the Pats win, they have identical records, and the Pats would own the tiebreaker, meaning Indy would have to return to Foxboro in the playoffs.
If the Colts win, they have a two game lead and the tiebreaker, essentially making a three game cushion at the half way point, and thus sealing up homefield throughout the playoffs barring a major collapse.
Ten minutes until kickoff, and as a Colts fan who has suffered multiple heartbreaking losses to the Pats, I'm nervous as hell!!!!
Colts are 3 point dogs, anyone think they have a chance with their run defense???
Lord, Help Our Colts!!!!

On a personal note, I need Peyton to throw 3 picks and Dillon to rush for 2 TD's and 200 yards...no prob

Should be good.
<< <i>WAY too early to be discussing tie breaker scenarios. There is half a season to play yet. >>
Perhaps if the Pats win, you're right. But if the Colts win, and have an essential three game lead, I like their chances.
Especially considering their next game is home against the Bills, and still have division games against the Texans and Titans. It'll be tough for the Pats to regain home field if the Colts win tonight.
JMO. And you're right, it's early and injuries are always a possibility. So is a loss to one of the three teams I mentioned, just ask the Bears.
Unfortunately, the Colts run D still sucks.
Also unfortunately, I've heard the Mellencamp commercial three times already.

<< <i>7-0. That Manning kid is good!!!

This game is going to be a shoot out.
The Colts can make any offense look good, and Manning can make any defense look bad.
Hey, at least I saw a new Manning Mastercard commercial the last time out, instead of Mellencamp again.
BTW, I think I have a man-crush on Manning.
<< <i>14-7 Colts.

Kevin, I think I smell a little home-cookin' myself.
Generous first down indeed.
JS
But on a realistic note, the Pats secondary is being taught a lesson tonight. Manning can pretty well toss the ball up and Harrison is pulling it down.
league as the Colts.

I will say it again... the Pats need a consistant kicker.
Ring Count:
Pats 3
TNA Wresler Monty Brown 2
Bucs 1
Winless season count
Bucs 1
Pats 0
2006 Record:
Pats 6-1
Bucs 2-6

In your case though, that would'nt be because of his talent, but because of his
all-american looks

Thanks for being a Yucs fan, LOSER.
bowl domination, but yes you have the rings.
Today you had nothing. Colts own you all, you know that. You won't even get that far to meet them in the playoffs, what would you all
do if the Fish, Jets and Bills wern't all over your schedule?
Like I said....2-6, 6-2.....nobody remembers second place

Of course, that did us no good last year. So we'll see if I can have my heart ripped out again this postseason.
The run defense is still sad. The offense is, of course, incredible.
A lot of people would argue, but I think Manning and Brady are both great quarterbacks. I think Manning is even better, quickly becoming one of the best of all time. I've said before, I think the difference between Brady having three rings and Manning zero was two words: Adam Vinateiri. While he's hitting last second super bowl kicks and game winning kicks in blizzards, Vanderchoke was missing. So I was a little concerned seeing Vinateiri miss a couple of big kicks tonight. Perhaps those are out of his system???

Manning made some fantastic passes in crucial situations.
In some defense of Brady, I think 3 of his ints were tipped passes.
Doesnt matter, 5 turnovers and its tough to win. kinda reminds
me of last years denver game. it's a sad monday

Despite having 4 turnovers, they darn near tied it at the end (of course Viniteri choking helped). The last pick was a killer, though, and not Brady's fault at all. However, a true team loss, plenty of blame to go around, including the coaching (only 53 yards rushing in second half against the worst run defense in the league?!?!?)

They have these team-wide mental and physical lapses when they play Denver and Indy and Miami in Miami. As long as they don't have to face any of these teams when it means something, they should be good to go.
<< <i>Actually Brady and company have rings because the refs made calls in their favor. I still don't consider 1 2 or 3 point wins in the super
bowl domination, but yes you have the rings.

WOW!! I am suprised you came up with that lame rhetoric, not considering 1 2 or 3 point Super Bowl wins domination? We are not talking point spreads here, we are talking BOTTOM LINE Super Bowl Wins, ok not enough for ya? How about consecutive wins for a team? Still not good enough? Well its painfully obvious that your Yuc's fan mentality leaves you in a sorry state of a football sense so we will not dig any deeper. Oh and by the way the Colts have been knocked out of playoff games by the Patriots which are much more important than a week 8 game. Keep wearing your Yucs colors proudly....its suits you well LOL
