We’re going to see this stupid 4th and 2 play a hundred billion times this week so I just wanted to get it out of the way now, while still in the afterglow of beating the Steelers. 

It’s strange, I feel like I’m already 90% looking ahead to the Colts. The last two years have been hugely disappointing losses to them and while there was once a time we have Peyton Manning’s number, the Pats are 1-5 since the 2004 AFCDG against the Colts. Only in 2007 did we beat them, but in just about every game (except for 2005/2006 regular season contests at Gillette) I felt like the Patriots were the better team. 

2006 AFCCG: Second Half Implosion costs Pats another Super Bowl.

2008: David Thomas doesn’t hear whistle, takes penalty that pushes Pats back and out of Field Goal range. Would’ve/Shoud’ve gone to overtime at least.

2009: See video above. You know what happened, and if you’re like me, you’re still sick about it.

I just feel like we really, really owe the Colts a smackdown.
