colts pats

Pretty much agree here.

If Faulk had caught the ball with no bobble, there would be no argument at all right now.

Not to do another post about this, but I am a huge Colts fan and I honestly think it wasnt a bad call...I digress a bit and say it was probably not the SAFE call but it sure wasnt a wrong call......lets look at the facts here

1) Colts had not stopped the Pats in short down situations the entire game

2) Manning was finally starting to hit his stride as the last few drives had shown

3) there was still plenty of time on the clock, regardless of where Manning had the ball on their 30 or his own 30 to take it down and score...

4) If the Pats complete the play--the game is over and they WIN....I am sorry, but 99.9% of the time, the Patriots walk away from that play and game with a win........and as much as I hate to say it, the Colts really didnt stop them, Faulk just didnt get control of the ball in time...


Why this is even up for much of a discussion is beyond me. To me, watching the game, I think this game should not have even been close because the Colts played and looked awful until the 4th quarter.....defense wise they really didnt look good at any point in the game.....

I guess it is just the whole PATS/COLTS...BRADY/MANNING thing going on and the fact that the game was so hyped. If this was Patriots vs. Miami or something and this happens, it would be a small bullet point on the news pages for that week of games.
