The Patriots will meet their demise once again when they face The Colts in the playoffs.

Let's see

Brady > Manning
Pats receivers > Colts receivers
Pats O Line > Colts O Line

Pats Defense > Colts Defense

The only thing that the colts have going for them is Addai > Maroney.

Pats win.

I mean...that all applies true if not more for the Giants/Ravens/Eagles as well and the Patriots suuure had a lotttt of trouble beating those teams. Especially the Giants in which it was probably as important a game for them as any Superbowl game they've ever played but almost lost.

Colts defense is also better than Pats defense statistically. The Colts lost to the Pats earlier in the season due to some bad calls and bullsh*t. They will not make the same mistakes.

I don't know, Maroney has been performing pretty well lately. Also, you need to also put in consideration that they're playing in Foxborough, in winter.

Who told you this bullshit? The Colts defense statistically ranked better than the Patriots defense this season. Fewer yards allowed and few point per game.

While the pats did have a lot of trouble beating the eagles and the ravens, both those teams played their hearts out. I'm a ravens fan myself and my roomy is an eagles fan so I've watched ever game both those teams have played this season. When they both played the pats I could have sworn I was watching different teams play.

They "played their hearts out"? The Eagles were playing with backup QB Feeley who has always given the Patriots problems...I'm sure the Colts will just prance around around the field with their thumbs up their ass :roll:

According to some idiots around here, hearts have nothing to do with "statistic"... You'll see him in here shortly.

I'm not that guy you are talking about I don't think but ...I guess you could argue "hearts" have a lot to do with games. But, it's a lot more intelligent I'd say to go with the statistics than emotions. Look at one of the most emotional games of this year; the Redskins playing right after Taylor got murdered. They lost the game...I guess their "heart" wasn't in the game? Or do you just come up with another excuse like "Oh, they weren't ready to play yet" As far as The Eagles playing with all their heart...the backup QB Feeley was in - I'm pretty sure that the Eagles thought they were going to lose the game from the jump (at least most Eagles fans around my area - and that's a lot - thought they didn't stand a chance as well). However, Feeley has always given Patriots trouble and Andy Reid made some excellent calls that he knew had to be made to play against such a formidable team (onside kick, going for it on 4th down, etc) -- i.e. statistics/intelligence > emotions

OK, so the Colts played with hearts AND skills at their home game. They LOST.

Doesn't this go against your theory? :confused:

And the reason they lost is because there was some horrible play calling at the end by Dungy & some bullshit calls by the Refs those calls made by Dungy will NOT happen again so therefore the Colts will win.

No, the argument was that emotions and extra motivations have affects on the game. Some used it to their advantage, some couldn't control it and made it worse. Everybody that played the PATs this season have both of those elements elevating their game play.

They came close.

I will agree with you that emotions obviously come into play, but I will say that I would rather rely on statistics over emotions to decide on what team I believe should win a game. Basically, if you bet on emotions over statistics in football (not counting spreads) you'd be a broke man.

Fuck this. I'm going to have a beer and watch the rest of this Seahawks game. You with me or you wanna go back n forth on this crap? Haha - how about we wager a little something against each other for the colts/pats game (as long as it happens)? :beer::D

I voted no, as I don't think they will meet up this postseason. Even if they do I would still give the Pats the nod.

Not when they played the Patriots.

The Colts won't win in New England. That is, they haven't shown the ability to do so to this point.

In fact, I submit that the main reason the Colts got to the Super Bowl last year was because they DIDN'T have to play in New England.
