Bears, Saints, Colts or Patriots?

[Garage Dog 65]

Watching a bunch of the evening local sports add ons after the local IND evening news and they are interviewing colts players. One thing that I've noticed is how relaxed they are - or seem to be. I remember many of the best performing teams over the years were very calm and confident - and I'm seeing it with these guys. May not mean anything - and they could again choke as per usual !?%$#$#. Defence is playing very well, special teams is working, offense was in a slump and have come back in the past 2 games after allot of heat placed on them . If the offense continues to improve and peaks over the next few weeks - could be a run for the title. Local pressure on the team is pretty huge - new high $$$ dome, big increase in taxes to pay for that and all the additional required stuff, several capable teams who choked - I fear Dungee could be on the outside....

How can anyone hate the Patriots? (Yes, I know I'm speaking as a NewEnglander). Granted, New England itself isn't spectactular. They're one of the cleanest, down-to-earth teams in the league, you rarely ever hear about personality problems. There's no premadonnas, just a solid group of guys that work well together. Belichick is freakin brilliant and shows the emotion of a piece of furniture. He's not a screamer, he's a great motivator and expects his players to have class on and off the field. More often than not, they just find ways to get the job done. Bob Kraft has done an incredible job rebuilding this franchise.

Is it because they've been very sucessful in the past few years? You may not remember the 40 years of drought and having to listen to them on the radio because they couldn't sell a ticket. The network couldn't justify broadcasting a game that wasn't sold out. My dad was always a riot to watch during the games growing up!

Miami isn't really their rival anymore, it's either the Jets or Colts it seems now.

Though, on second thought, I suppose I can understand. It's been a tough road as a Sox fan with the Yankees always coming through in the end.

Ben's right many years of nothing and now there something, the offense works together, the defense is a little thugish at times, but it works,

Brady has to keep it together or the have a blow out like the Fish game, and the rest of the teams paid dearly in scoring, almost all 3 games after that were 40pts and one was 36,

So I say go PATS! smack Payton around take the Ring one more time,

And it the same all over the US all the Fish fans hate the Pats, it's hte same ways at here at work, you're all still mad that the hasbeen Marino never got a ring, don't worry just watch the TV you can see him every 5 mins doing NutraSystems Commercials or Courtsy car crap,

i am not sure why there are so many haters of the pats, thugish??? coach all the way down they are a TEAM, and thats how they have won in the past few years, everyone envys them.
brady is what 11-1 in the playoffs?? chances are he will not lose the game for the pats, and watch out if he gets hot, it seems they are warming up, just think what they will do when they put a complete game together
who knows, maybe now since the colts ousted that loud mouth kicker they may have a chance, that guy was worse then the eagles reciever who shot his mouth off a few years ago...

I hate the Pats

[68protouring454]

LMAO, probaly as bad as i hate the 49ers of the 80's and 90's

[Stuart Adams]

Patriots - that's a negative. Man the Chargers sure blew that one, dumb thugs. I think the Chargers have a size 45shirt and a size 1 hat.

I hope Indy/Saints.

Actually I rooted against the Dolphins and Marino and Shula for MANY years. That was until Jimmy Johnson came. Marino is a prick...plain and simple. Couldn't stand him them, can't stand him now...

Go Colts...
