Answer 2

im a patriots fan. Every pats fan thought this was going to be a blow out except me, i swear...lol going into this game i knew and understood that the colts and patriots are the 2 teams that have completely separated themselves from the rest of the NFL. The colts are the only team that could propose a legit challenge for the patriots, vice versa. Im happy they won, but we all know that there going to meet in the afc championship. so this question "pats or colts?" is going to be asked a million times more in coming months

Answer 3

Patriots

Answer 4

Allen,
I read your entire post, and I can sum it up in 3 words: whine, whine, whine.

In anything competitive, if cheating is effective, you do it. If it won't help, you don't bother. It's not like they're paying hit men to break peoples legs. If you leave your play book laying around, what do you expect? And if Belichik has the defensive signals memorized for all the teams he's played, they can change them. If they're too lazy to change their defensive signals, then they deserve to have them stolen.

Why have the Pats gotten so much better since all the focus has been on them, for "cheating"?

The Pats are going to rout the Colts, because they can. That's the same reason we took out Saddam Husein, because we could. I'll bet you voted for ted kennedy.

Yahoo Sports has a good article about why the Pats have a chip on their shoulder

Go Pats!!!

Answer 5

Colts

Answer 6

Patriots...

Answer 7

Patriots vs Broncos - continually an superb interest, besides the undeniable fact that it has befell a team of cases in the previous. Colts vs Broncos - it is the interest i desire to make certain. Peyton vs his alternative in a conflict of two #a million draft suggestions. The rookie who beat various of Peyton's documents and made between the main important turn arounds in NFL history vs the veteran with 4 MVP's and a great Bowl call. Broncos vs Giants - could be a sturdy interest, yet all of us understand great brother is greater perfect. Patriots vs Falcons - No great whoop here. 49ers vs Seahawks - occurs two times a year..eh Ravens vs Broncos - The Ravens won't have what it takes to placed up a sturdy interest. Seahawks vs Falcons - a sturdy interest which could be exciting to observe. 49ers vs Packers - sturdy interest, yet no longer an superb one. Ravens vs Patriots - The Ravens won't have what it takes to placed up a sturdy interest. Packers vs Falcons - sturdy interest, yet no longer an superb one. Saints vs Patriots - this could be a great interest. The final time it befell replaced into 2009 and Brees went into Foxboro and in simple terms annihilated the Patriots. this could be a conflict of two of the suitable quarterbacks in the league. It in simple terms does not ensue as usually as Peyton vs Brady. 49ers vs Falcons - sturdy interest, yet no longer an superb one.

Answer 8

I wish New England would beat them already so all the Patriot haters could find something else to ***** about.

Answer 9

Im definately hoping its the COLTS!

Answer 10

This ranks up there with the Green Dot for being the most annoying and most asked questions ever to be asked on Yahoo! Answers.

Answer 11

The Patriots will win by doing one of the following things:

1-Patriots Linebacker Willie McGinest made the play of the year in ’03 by going down with a hilariously fake injury, forcing the officials to stop the clock and the Colts momentum. The crowd knew it was fake, the refs knew it was fake, and the Colts knew it was fake. Later on McGinest would laugh coyly about the play, further fueling our rage. To this day if you want to anger a Colts fan mention this "injury". On fourth down, with 14 seconds left, there was McGinest back like Lazarus to catch Edgerrin James in the backfield and preserve the win for New England. That’s against the rules by the way.

2-Supposedly the Patriots run up scores because they are angry about the Beli-Cheat scandal and are scoring points like crazy to express their anger against the world. Wait a moment: What right do the Patriots have to be angry? They, after all, are the ones who admitted to systematic cheating. Other people didn't impose that situation on them -- they cheated of their own free accord, imposing the tainting of their accomplishments on themselves. The Patriots were not wronged; they wronged others. Yet they're mad about being caught, and they seem to want to take out their bad feelings about themselves by embarrassing second-echelon teams. That bespeaks lack of character. And look at the teams in their division. The Bills don’t look TOO bad until you realize who’ve they’ve beat.

3-"The team did not have a satisfactory explanation when asked about possible irregularities in its communication setup during the game." Says NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Imagine you’re an offensive coordinator playing the Pats. It’s fourth and two, with a minute to play, and you've got the perfect play to run. Suddenly your two-way communication goes fuzzy. Those wacky Patriots!
The Colts, thanks to Peyton, don't need an offensive cooridinator to radio in a play. Peyton can just call it at the line. Isn't it funny that the Colts are also the only team to have recent success against the Pats?

4-Tuck Rule game. Brady, who is supposedly “clutch”, fumbled the game away to Oakland. Had it CORRECTLY been called a fumble Brady would’ve had one less ring. Probably 2 less when you take into consideration how that championship proliferated the health of that franchise.

5-Mr.Clutch (Brady) also threw the game ending interception to the Colts last year.

6-Rodney Harrison steroids.

7-They treated Vinatieri horribly and when you think about the fact that the Patriots always seem to win Super Bowls because of him, it’s pretty sad. It’s a joke that Brady has been named Super Bowl MVP twice. Vinatieri may be the most clutch player in NFL history.

8-Suppose New England's version of the SpyGate events is true -- that Belichick is a fine person who made an honest mistake about rules that seemed clearly written to everyone else but somehow were confusing to him and that he regrets his honest mistake. If this were so, wouldn't Belichick be attempting to convince the world he is a good guy by showing sportsmanship at every turn? Instead, he is raising his middle finger to the rest of the NFL, to the sporting media, even to the NFL fans who made his wealth and celebrity possible.

9-Colts At New England Patriots 2004 playoffs . In the AFC Championship game they were defeated 24-14 by the Pats. Manning throwing four interceptions in a game widely criticized for its minimal officiating (only seven penalties were called during the entire game, six of them were pre-snap fouls). Criticism of the game's officiating largely led to a reinterpretation of the "bump rule" beginning in the 2004 season (for a blatant non-call on the Patriots' Roman Phifer against Colts' TE Marcus Pollard on the Colts' final offensive drive), the change led to a large increase of defensive pass interference calls the following season.

10-Well why don’t teams just play harder D so that the Pats can’t run up the score? One of these weeks… Bellichick is going to look like a moron when his fourth quarter antics result in a pissed opposition injuring a Pats starter (a starter who, under any other coach, would be sitting out due to such a large lead 4th quarter lead).

11-BTW how come Bellichick and his cute antics weren’t successful when he was in Cleveland. To quote Chris Carter “Put him on a bad team and see how cute it is.”

12-Here’s another gem… The Patriots in the past have stolen play books from opposing teams. I don’t even mean from picking up a player in the off season who used kept old play books. I’m talking about going into the opposing teams locker room at Foxborough and STEALING them!

13-It would seem that Bellichick would shoot his own mother in the face for a ring. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to win, but for goodness sakes, stay within the rules of the game and be classy!

14-And I hate the argument that people hate them because they win so they find any excuse to knock them. What about Michael Jordan and the Bulls of the 1990’s? NEVER did you hear any funny business about the way they won rings. Jordan won 6 rings! Never were there any gripes from other players about Jordan or Phil Jackson lacking class. The played the game with class and they played honorably.

15-SpyGate. I’m outright puzzled by the argument that a video library of defensive signals in no way helped them in the past. If it was no help then why would they have gone through to trouble of doing it! Why would they have hired a camera man to video tape signals? “this won’t help us in at all but lets pay a salary to this guy for fun and have him tape stuff”

16-And wasn’t the punishment for those video tapes a little strange? They destroy the evidence? How do they know all that footage isn’t readily available on one of their coaches laptop or flash drive?
And lets think about it a little more… how about this for an analogy. If you told Steven Spielberg, right this instant, to write the script for E.T. without watching the movie, would he be able to do it? Of course he would, because as the director, he has seen it, and analyzed it many many times. I sincerely believe the same holds true for Bellichick and the footage he had. He’s already reaped the benefits he got from the footage. How would destroying it counteract that! How does destroying ensure that there’s no other backup. My first job 40 years ago, was at a small business and we used to back up all our documents. Are you telling me that a multi-million dollar franchise doesn’t do the same, especially in this age of technology that we are in!?
In conclusion I’d just like to say that I’m a huge Red Sox fan, I’ve lived in Boston for 53 years, and I was a Patriots fan back when Bledsoe was QB. But I just have to look away in disgust when I watch football now. I’m not the type of fan that roots for or against a team just because they play in my home town. I’m more of a fan of sportsmanship and fair play. Today’s Patriots lack BOTH. Sad time to be a Pats fan. Great time to be a Colts fan, regardless of outcome of this Sunday’s Colts/Pats game.
