[NFL] Pats vs. Colts - make your prediction here!

Patriots Still ARCH NEMISIS

Defense almost ruled the day, but Moss is demonic.

So close... crumbling around me....

Don't worry, dog. We'll get 'em in the playoffs.

Did anyone else hear the crowd sounds CD being pumped through the speaker system skip at one point?

Well-trained crowd indeed...

Good game though. PATS going undefeated this season!

Actually, you definitely won't. That's because it will be played in Foxboro and they'll most likely have a more competent officiating crew. I suspect the next they meet, it won't be as close.

(BTW, Vinatieri's never missed a FG in the RCA Dome)

Whoops!

 

[GlassJaw]

Whoops!

Heh. Granted it was a 50-yarder.

Please. The Colts can and have beaten the Pats at Foxborough. And if you think the officiating is why the Colts dominated for most of that game, I suggest you go back and watch it again.

This is so much BS. I have been in the Dome on a number of occasions for a variety of events. It is an accoustically loud building. These allegations have been floating around for years and the NFL has never found anything untoward going on. People underestimate how much noise 65,000 people can make in a small domed stadium.

I agree the Colts dominated certainly through the first half, but that doesn't excuse the officiating.

The Colts's defense played really well in the first half, but they certainly had help from those calls.

I definitely wouldn't use the word dominated either. If the Colts dominated, they would have scored more than 2 FG's in their three trips inside the red zone in the first half.

Just as much BS as people around the country heard the noise "skip" during the game?

"Observers at the game said there seemed to be a "skip" in the sound during the game Sunday, which the Patriots won 24-20. That might confirm the long-held suspicion among many people in the NFL that the Colts play loud crowd noise to help distract opponents when the other team is on offense."
