Boston Globe/Gasper: Way they play is the thing

Not often Gasper makes the cut here on the blog but this is a worth article. Favorite part:

Asante Samuel warned teammates all week. In another football life, he was a New England Patriot. He tried to tell the Philadelphia Eagles what it would be like facing a Bill Belichick-coached team, the NFL version of a staring contest in which the Patriots’ gaze is unwavering.

Samuel conveyed the message that any mistake would be magnified, any weakness probed and exploited, any error potentially fatal in a football sense. He knew that Belichick’s Patriots, no matter how obscure some of the names on the backs of their jerseys, have one defining characteristic: they don’t beat themselves.

“I definitely told the team that,’’ said Samuel as he exited the Eagles locker room after the Patriots’ 38-20 victory over Philadelphia Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. “I told them that was probably what Belichick was emphasizing – let us [Eagles] make all the mistakes and we’ll beat ourselves. That’s exactly what happened.’’

This is a good way to start off Colts week. Manning vs. Brady has certainly been the marquee QB match-up of the last decade and it’s unfortunate to see what has happened to the Colts without their QB. Let’s remember 2008 when the Patriots should’ve taken the Manning and the Colts to overtime in their building with Matt Cassel at the helm. I still haven’t forgiven David Thomas for his penalty that pushed the Pats back out of field goal range.

Plenty of great Pats-Colts videos to come this week!
