I'm a big Pats fan and I watched that game and it was an embarrassing loss for the Pats. They were in the lead for most of the game, but made mistakes here and there, which led them to weaken their defense and lose the game. :-(

Thats why they play the game. It is not one play it is many. The Colts simply outplayed them in the second half. Sure there were a few dropped passes but the one the guy missed in the end zone the next play was a touch anyway. The Colts had 47 plays in the second half to the Pats I think 21. The Colts just played keep away. If you keep the ball away from the other team 9 out of 10 times your gonna win. The Colts were never really out of the game. They knew they were getting the ball back at the start of the second half. They knew as did I if they scored a touch theyd be right back in it. To say it was a surprising victory.........very little I seen the Colts come back and beat Tampa a few years back when they were down my 21 with less than 4 minutes to go. Yes Peyton has more 4th quarter comeback victories than Tom. So I knew he could do it. Its why there are 60 minutes in a game. Come on the Pats have done it to so many teams in the past its bound to happen to them. Just deal with it I have for the past 30 years Ive been a Colts fan. The Colts wore down the defense in the second half keeping them on the field so long those guys were winded they had their hands on their hips when they do that they are out of it. They had guys cramping on the sidelines getting massages. Enjoy what you have had the Pats arent going anywhere theyll be here again next year and who knows. Peace out..................

Look at the second half time of possession. The Pats didn't control the ball long enough. Their defense got really tired and they blew it. They had the Colts number in the first half and in the second it looked to me like they were just giving up. Addai was getting 12 yards on runs when he should have be stopped in backfield. I was embarrassed with the way the Pats played yesterday, because it is the first time I have seen them come out in the second half and give up. I still Love'em though so all of you bitches that talk **** about them. Screw you, we'll be back

The Patriots were winning while they were putting pressure on Manning. Later in the game the Colt offensive line (which is the best in the league) was giving Manning time to throw and the game turned around.

One critical penalty... 12 men in the huddle with about 2:50 left.. it ended up being 1st and 15...they got it down to 3 and 4....if there was no penalty...they would have gotten the first and could have come close to running the clock out..

Whenever I watch the patriots with my dad, who is a big patriots fan the only thing I get is this. And my team does the same thing (The bills). It seems like every time they get in the lead then they start getting cocky and smirk and throw themselves around, which ultimately leads to their destruction in the end. Never stop fighting your hardest no matter if you're in the lead or not.

1) Overconfidence after they took the lead 21-3
2) Matt Light failed to get Freeney on the last play and the pressure made Brady throw the game away
3) Failure to execute on defense in the 2nd half
GO COLTS!!

their mistake was not in winning enough to have home field advantage. had they been at home it would not even have been close.
your Pats are still a great team....try being a Seahawks fan, we know about frustration and embarrassment!!!
