I wasn't before?

EDIT:

Yeah, I could win every game if I knew what plays the other guys were going to call. The Pats have been filming the play calling for years, Green Bay, the Jets, just about every team they've played has complained about seeing NE personell in the stands, taping they're play-calling. They got caught and the NFL hasn't done anything save a pity 500,000 fine. Thats bullshit.

The Patriots won 24-20 over the colts last night, in a HORRIBLE game. The refs made BS pass interference calls. The crowd was ridiculously loud. Even the COMMENTORS on CBS said something along the lines of "Wow this crowd is smart, they know not to make noise when Payton Manning is on the field." I could tell that the Patriots were completely distracted the whole game. Tom Brady had trouble having the plays fed into his helmet.

This Article gives details.

Overall, the Pats didn't do any big plays (or weren't ABLE to) until the 4th quarter. I was on the phone with my friend the entire time, and I said that if the Pats were to lose to ANY team in the NFL, it would be an honor to lose to the Colts. They played a ridiculously intense offense, and were just the overall better team. I still am firmly rooted in my thought that the Colts refs DID call BS penalties (pass interference on OFFENSE? how do you interfere with your OWN receiver?)


Good game, tough rivalry, but it feels good that the Pats finally beat them at their own stadium, and ended the losing streak.

Yeah that game was a joke. Neither team did much of anything well. The Colts should have had 21 points in the first quarter but failed in the red zone incredibly hard and walked away with like 6 points.

(pass interference on OFFENSE? how do you interfere with your OWN receiver?)

There was only one question pass interference call. Also offensive pass interference is when the receiver tries to either push off or interfere with the defender trying to intercept it.

Offensive pass interference = the receiver making it impossible for the CB to intercept the ball, as in tripping him, holding him back, etc. etc.

And this isn't high school football, the refs are from all over the country.

Colts got caught piping in crowd noise, by the way. Here's an audio clip, you can clearly hear the audio track with crowd noise on it start to skip.

Not having Harrison, or Gonzalez in the second half, really hurt the Colts, especially since Moorehead kept dropping key passes.

I would have like to have seen what Manning could have done with more than one decent, dependable (Wayne) receiver.

From ESPN:

The NFL says no artificial crowd noise was pumped into the RCA Dome on Sunday during the New England-Indianapolis game, despite claims otherwise by Patriots team president Jonathan Kraft.

"CBS has informed us that the unusual audio moment heard by fans during the Patriots-Colts telecast was the result of tape feedback in the CBS production truck and was isolated to the CBS broadcast," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Monday. "It was in no way related to any sound within the stadium and could not be heard in the stadium."

I would have liked to have seen what he could do with someone other than #74 on the line. He made a lot of big mistakes.

ESPN says #74 didn't even play in the game:

Whoever didn't think #74 was in the game wasn't watching the right game. It was damn hard to miss him if you paying attention.

Why? Because he is the worst lineman in the NFL?

If you would ask a certain person named Jon, that is what he would say.

Patriots have the potential to go 16-0, but as with most teams with that potential: they'll rest their starters once they clench home field advantage.

Bah, American Football. Game was made so fat kids could play. And why was it called football when the only time the ball touches the foot is when they punt it? And suddenly REAL football is called "soccer"?
