WHO YA GOT? It's probably one of the biggest regular season games ever.
I think the Patriots are WAY too smug and Belichick, Brady, et al all need to be knocked down a few pegs.

Sounds right. These "games of the century" almost never come close to justifying the hype.

I wonder how many chicks Tom Brady gonna knock up and desert this week.

I guess the one way back in 1990 would have been bigger if the Giants and 49ers hadn't screwed things up by losing the week before. Then it would have been two 11-0 team that had won three of the last four Super Bowls meeting. As it is now, you have an 8-0 (who have won three of the last six Super Bowls) playing last year's champion (7-0.)
Plus, factor in the comeback last year's AFC Championship game, Spygate, Randy Moss, etc. I just hope it lives up to the hype.
This is a good summation of the quarterback matchup in less than five minutes:

It's hard to say anything against the Pats winning this one.
I think it'll be a hell of a game.

I only wonder how hot the chicks are going to be...and pray they have girls.

i love how everyone in the world seems to like the pats to kill the reigning super bowl champs on the road. i'd take indy, but honestly i'm sick of this game already. if the steelers were on sunday i might not even watch it

I think this is a game you just don't bet on. It makes just as little sense to bet against the Patriots to cover a spread as it does to not take the Colts and 5 points at home.
I'm just going to sit back and enjoy what I hope to be a great game and laugh at the rest of the folks in the Bay Area who have to watch the Raider game. Can you believe Raider fans are rooting against a sell out?
-
if you must bet, i'd probably just bet the over.

Margin of victory of Patriots road games this year: 24, 21, 21, 21.
They are like Sherman marching through the South. I would take the Pats and give the 5 all day long. Any takers? Hurwitz.....?

Vs. Jets (1-7)
Vs. Bengals (2-5)
Vs. Cowboys (6-1)
Vs. Dolphins (0-8)
Only the Cowboys were worthy opponents, and I don't think they could beat Indy.

how many wins do those teams have? take out dallas and the answer is 3. granted the dallas win is quite impressive, assigning historical significance at week 8 is foolish. just ask the 2005 colts, or the 15-1 2004 steelers, the randall cunningham vikes...
smackie beat me dammit

I try not to meet the parents on the first date, but OK, I'll talk to him.

Why am I not surprised that your football idol is, arguably, the biggest douchebag the NFL has ever seen.

I heard about this and thought it was hysterical. I need a Jeff George jersey. 4real.

But you forgot incredibly talented. He may have been a douchebag (I don't think so) but he was an incredibly talented douchebag.
You can borrow one of mine, DeathFromAbove1979. I almost have his entire set. I don't think I have a Jeff George Seattle Seahawks jersey.

Tough to disagree with that. Only Ryan Leaf was better at being a douchebag than Jeff Goerge.

No way. The Brian Wallace character just jumped the shark. There is no way someone is a Jeff George fan.
I demand some proof of their existance or we should all stop feeding the troll.

i agree. this was the tipping point. i thought he was real up to now, but this just goes waaaay beyond.

No. I really am. I also love My Chemical Romance and that song "Hey There, Delilah."

Why are we talking about Jeff George? I'm sick of all this nostalgia for early 90's dumb as a rock crappy QBs with great arms. Friggin hipsters. You people need to get a life. I'm going to sit here and stare at my J.P. Losman Fathead.
-
moral of the story: Pats aren't quite as good as people make them out to be, but one quarter of Brady & Co in "on" mode > three quarters of #2 team doing their thing.
still pissed that i bet my friend that the Pats would win by at least 5. ugh.
-
this entire page has me laughing my ass off.
ohh man jeff george.
-
real moral was i should have let ggw talk me into gambling
the colts really missed harrison the pats doubled wayne the whole game, colts oline kind of fell apart. ah well the most important game of the week is tonight anyway
-
That was a fun game to watch. I didn't think the Pats would have such a hard time with the Colts. In past games they executed like a machine. The pass interference calls were hit and miss, there was an obvious one against Indy that didn't get called.
I was glad to see the Pats remain undefeated and enjoyed a good afternoon of watching sports.
Philly on the other had looked terrible. I think Andy Reid has lost his will to live.

So, what was the damage and how pissed/shocked were you when they took their first knee of the 07 season only up four with plenty of time to score?

i realize that i'm completely biased, so i'd like your opinions: what did you think of the officiating?
personally, i was on the verge of calling for an enquiry into whether the refs had been paid off, given how awful and one-sided the calls were. those two 40+ yard passer interference were complete and utter bunk - too bad those can't be challenged, would have taken a few points away from Indy (and allowed me to win my bet!). and what about that moorehead reception that was mis-called by two line judges on either side of the play?!? i'm probably over-reacting, but seemed very unfair and one-sided to me at the time.

damage: $20 and a little pride. shocked: not really, just disappointed. but given the strength of indy's defence and tom's 2 picks, it was the way to go. there is a case to be made that the Pats will only run up the score on a team they have no respect for. colt's D definitely deserved respect yesterday.

Nobody took my action (their loss).
I think Belichick realizes it's okay to trounce the Redskins because the Pats aren't likely to see them again. On the other hand, one probably doesn't want to give added incentive for revenge to a team that one will likely face again in the championship game.

When I watched two of the three plays with PI calls in real-time, I thought for sure there was pass interference. Only with replay did I think differently, so I don't think it's fair to call in an enquiry. They were bad calls, but honestly, I threw the flag from my couch twice. The one time I didn't throw my flag was the Moss offensive pass interference, and the Pats scored anyway on that drive.
Originally posted by sweetcell:

If you watch it again, the back judge starts to call it incomplete, but the judge right in front of the play says he caught it. And he was terribly wrong, which was obvious to everybody. However, here's how that call is supposed to work: Did you see him get two feet in? Judge one: No I didn't. Judge Two: Yes I did. Then it's a catch, and the back judge cannot overrule him.
Gross. I'm starting to sound like Peter King.
-
Pass interference calls are a sore spot for me. My main issue is they seem punitive since the ball is moved to the spot of the foul. I believe in at least two cases yesterday this was near the goal line.
At first I though NE was getting more stringent enforcement of the rules but it evened out as the game went on. The play where someone hooked Moss's are deserved the flag, it didn't get it. I'll try to elaborate more later.

I thought those pass interference calls were ridiculous. I agree in the one-sided nature of the calls all game long, and I have no horse in the race whatsoever.

But did you think so in real-time or only after you saw the replay? That's the crux of the question.

Originally posted by vansmack:

The first one, I thought so in real time definitely. The replay only made me more sure.
The second one, I believe I was typing and only listening to the game at that point so I didn't see it until I looked up for the replay. So, I can't really say on that one.
