[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 3294914, member: 4779"] Agreed. It was the defense that couldn't come up big this time around. His offense put up 27 points and had a late lead. And his receivers dropped some wide open passes. The amazing thing is that the Colts could have had more points early on if it wasn't for some excellent passes defended in the secondary covering Wayne and Harrison. And the biggest credit to Brady is that even Peyton said that 4 point lead never felt safe against Brady. Not with a minute left and 2 time outs. Just an excellent game and an instant classic. It will be interesting to see how the Pats reload for the coming season as many of their stalwarts are getting old and really slowing down, especially the linebackers. Final note - I think having Harrison out for the game really hurt in the second half. He's an enforcer back there and I think may have been the difference on a few of those drives. Maybe forcing a FG instead of the TDs. [/QUOTE]
