I'm a big Pats fan and I think that the Colts just got lucky.

I don't think I can say the Colts got lucky in making that comeback against us because I week before when we beat the Chargers I was defending the Troy Brown game saving forced fumble as Smart Football and not just a lucky play. It was an amazing play by Troy Brown and as Brady himself said, thay play saved the Patriots season. You can say the same thing about the Colts comeback, it was just good football on their part.
The main thing I will give the Colts credit for is Peyton Manning very easily could have thrown in the towell after being down 21-3 but he didn't. They scored more second half points on us than a team had scored on us in an entire game all season.
So the refs made a few bad calls, that doesn't give our Defense an excuse to give up that many points.
In the mean time things are looking worse for the Colts and much better for the Patriots. By the way Colt fans we have two first round draft picks in a month and if that doesn't scare you just remember what Belichick/Pioli have done with their first round draft picks.
We will be the favorites to win the Super Bowl going into the season and at least now we don't have to listen to people feel sorry for Peyton Manning.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I don't even think that the Colts got lucky, I think that the League, or the Refs, or whomever WANTED the Colts to 'win the Super Bowl' just as last year they wanted the Steelers to 'win the Super Bowl'. So, they call horrible horrible calls, and voila, the Colts are going to the Super Bowl instead of the Patriots.
But, what's done is done, and the Patriots have been totally kicking butt this offseason. I'm very excited about next season, very excited. On paper the Pats look amazingly amazing, it should be another exciting season, I can't wait to see what Belicheck does during the draft.

Well, "lucky" is not a word applicable to football. The Patriots were simply outclassed this year, the colts have an amazing season, with Payton Manning, Marvin Harrisson, Reggie Wayne, and in their postseason, their Defense was really good. I do like both the Patriots and the Colts and would have been happy whether the Pats or Colts won, so you can't accuse me of being biased. I think the Colts were just better this year.

Luck... conspiracy theories... lets get real here for a moment. The Patriots were outplayed in the fourth quarter by the Colts. Plain and simple. And it wouldn't matter which AFC team went to the SB, cuz the Bears weren't gonna beat any of them. Now with the moves the Pats have made in free agency I think they will be near the top of everybody's preseason list to make the superbowl next season.

There is no such thing as getting lucky in football. you either got it or you don't the Colts Got It. Despite the interceptions and the turnovers in that game, the Colts still came out on top. Think of all the mistakes that the Patriots made. How many balls did Reche Cadwell drop? The only thing they had going for them was Asante Samuels who kept blocking passes to everybody. He got on my nerves during that game.
The Colts had Rhodes, Addai, Harrison, Clark, Freeney, Sanders, Vinatieri, and the " P- MANN." That's all they needed to win. I was sick of the Patriots going to the Super Bowl anyways. And Tom Brady gets on my nerves too. Bellichek was so pissed off that he blew off Peyton Manning when he tried to give him a handshake after the game. No class!!Go Colts!!!. You better believe that we'll be back next year. It won't be easy, but we'll do it.

not only that, but gay ref calls
Reche almost got decapitated on that play they ended up as a Gostkowski FG
And that horrible RTP, on Tully Banta Cain, which gave them 15 extra yards.
Brady needed more time, and more skilled receivers to do the usual drive,
I was upset after the game, and didn't get over it for a week, But you need to move on
we seem to be good now with Adalius Thomas, Donte Stallworth, and no corey dillon
I want Brady to have a go to guy, and I'm glad they got stallworth
our chances are better this season

Why "should" they have? They had there chance and lost. No luck needed or involved. Pats had a minute to get down field. He failed. They lost. Get over it. Just because your a fan doesn't mean luck had anything to do w/ it. Did you watch the game?

lucky,, unbelievably lucky and also bunch of whiny babies. Manning is the most dramatic QB in football,99% of all his pointin at the line is ridiculous and un called for(said by his own teammates)Your team has the best QB of all time dont worry there win at least two more titles.
