I’m a PAts fan, but…Until they beat the Colts then their fans should keep their mouths SHUT.

What good is your guarantee? I think you should let RainJack castrate you if the Pats’s lose. Then we know you are serious. Like this guy.

That might be taking it a bit too far. I’m a huge Pats fan, but unless you recognize that the Colts are 1A to the Pats 1 (or vice versa, if you’d like) then you haven’t been following the NFL the past 5 years. The first few years the Pats were a small step behind in offense, but their defense was far superior. Last year Indy’s defense stepped up big, allowing for their dominant offense to dictate the game.
This season, with the Pats new toys on offense, it’s a much closer matchup (though I do think the Pats have a slight edge both offensively and defensively), and I honestly believe the game can go either way.
All that said, the Nov. 4th matchup will dictate HF advantage; when all is said and done these two will meet again, I have little doubt of that.
Pats won 49-28, but they got got sloppy 2nd half.
so far the Pats have actually beaten a decent team, can’t say the same for the colts. Hell, the colts only beat houston by 6 and and the Titans by a whole 2 points. I would bet the Pats would hammer either team and make them go crying for their momma’s tit. I’m sorry but this season, the pats are a much much more solid team then the colts. I really honestly don’t believe the colts will be able to put up a solid enough fight to beat the pats. I call a 31-20 win in favor of pats.

You’re saying this after seeing the Colts own the Jags?

No need for them to play then.

Not to take anything away from the Patriots, but at least try to know what you are talking about, please. Other than Dallas, the Pats haven’t played a team with a winning record. And as far as I’m concerned, the jury’s still out on Dallas. Their 6-1 record has wins over winless Miami and St. Louis and they needed late game heroics to get by both the Bills and the Vikings.
If you want to base a team’s strength on who it has beaten, the Colts currently have the best resume. They have beaten three teams with winning records and remain undefeated.
Also, this isn’t the NCAA, kid. Margin of victory doesn’t matter. A win is a win. The Patriots are out running up the score on their little vendetta against the world. The Colts are a more reserved team lead by a coach who doesn’t care what the final score is, only that his team scores more points.
All this being said, I agree that the Patriots look better right now, but I would have also said the Patriots looked better than the Broncos last year, too, and we remember what happened there. You can settle your little “best of” debate in less than two weeks. And likely again in the post season.
As a side note, I think it is entirely possible that whoever loses this game could go 15-1 and NOT have home field advantage in the playoffs. How ridiculous is that?

The patriots are scoring on the majority of possessions… whether you play a bad, descent, or good football team, that’s still impressive. I’m not putting down the colts, I can’t wait for that game, they ARE a great football team.

Are you smoking crack? The Colts have beat a few good teams including hammering a good Jacksonville team last night.
I think the only decent team the Pats have beaten is the Cowboys and they have not looked like a complete team.
Barring injuries I will be picking the Colts in the office pool in a couple weeks.
The Colts have beaten them 3 times in a row and this year they even have a defense. I think the Colts may be the best team in football.

If you look at last year, they only beat them by one TD/XP in the regular season, and by 4 points in the playoffs. Considering the pats have filled arguably almost all the holes they had from last year, I think it’s going to be one hell of a game, possibly only 2nd for the entire season to their possible playoff match. Of course I’m rooting for the patriots, but looking back at history isn’t always the best indicator.

Bizarre if it happens.

It won’t.
I’d be pretty surprised if either team makes it to 15-1. 14-2 and 13-3 is more likely.
I’ll get excited when one of them is 12-1 and the other 13-0, but not before then.
I’m not a Pats fan, I’m a Niner fan which is to say football has been boring as of late for me. I will say that the Pats, as much as I want to hate them, are the most dominant team in Football of this decade. They remind me of how the Niners “used” to be. That, I can appreciate, I thought the first Superbowl was a flash in the pan but then they just kept winning.
Maybe its cause Tom Brady is a Bay Area boy, thats it, yeah, he’s Niner at heart, until New England wrote him a pay check!

About the Pats.
They are now overrated, reported and it’s almost always a curse. It happened to the Cowboys 2 weeks ago. Sportscasters were talking about how great they were, then boom…shitty game.
Now, the Colts and Pats are “In a league of their own” (Steve Young).
It will happen soon. They will fail, they will soon have to face some adversity in some way…Murphy’s law… [pinky on mouth while grinning][/quote]
The Pats and Colts are in a league of their own. They are by far the two best teams in the NFL. Only other teams that I could see making a run for the super bowl is the Cowboys and Steelers.

Adjusted for their opponents, the Colts are actually having a better offensive year than the Patriots, despite all the Brady hype.
Lots of interesting analysis on that site as well.
None of this will matter after the Skins kick their ass today.
