    Colts are to reliant on Luck to beat the Patriots. It's a given that Luck will throw at least 1 pick vs the Pats and you need very little margin of error to beat them. If Colts some how pulled off the upset and Seattle beats Greenbay, it might be a more lopsided Super Bowl than last year lol

    I can't handle another AFC Title Game loss.

    I'll accept losing the Super Bowl to Green Bay or Seattle. Not to the Colts.

    f--- losing a Super Bowl lol I'd rather lose the championship game. I'd be absolutely devastated if the Cowboys made it all the way to the Super Bowl and lost lol. Considering you're heavily favorites, I guess it's different though lol

    I hate the way the front office went about the whole thing. The CEO jed being a little rat b---- because he didnt get along with Harbaugh. I was ok with Harbaugh leaving as long as we kept most of the defensive coaching staff together. Hiring Tomsula put an end to that.

    For the record I love Tomsula, but at as a positions coach.

    Maybe it's just because I respect the Seahawks to the utmost level.

    I'll admit, I've watched 3 Super Bowl losses in my time as a Pats fan, and each one hurts badly, much worse than any other playoff loss.

    However, Seattle is a special franchise right now, and I recognize it. I think the Pats would give them a great game, but I honestly don't trust Patricia's playcalling to beat Seattle.

    The Pats have the defense and offense to beat them. However, it would involve them putting the linebackers over the center, mixing/disguising their blitzes, playing aggressive against the run, Revis/Browner jamming the receivers at the line, and forcing Wilson to beat them.

    It'd be such an interesting game to watch from a pure football standpoint.

    ^ I didn't see that defensive look until the 2nd half against the Ravens.

    That look, is what reminds me of the 01-04 Patriots teams. It's so confusing as an offensive line to block, and for a QB to read..It helps having the corners and safeties to do it.

    Was embarrassing, because they used that for the majority of the year, since Cincinatti.

    Against scramblers? They rarely use that look.

    It sucks because the last 3 teams in the playoffs have scramblers for QB's. It's funny, because they used it against Rodgers RARELY, but when they did? Sacks, incompletions, etc.

    Imagine the media frenzy if Indy were to win the Super Bowl over GB. That would mean Luck beats Manning, Brady, and Rodgers on his way to get his first SB win, on top of being an underdog in all three games.

    If the NFL were really rigged (No, I don't buy it), that would be the perfect way to end Manning's legacy, and begin Luck's.

    I'm partially biased due to fantasy but I am cheering for Indy to be the dream team this year and pull off the upset this weekend. Defence has been coming together nicely and Herron has done a respectable job giving the team a good running/check-down option. I'm hoping NE becomes a one-dimensional passing team an Indy uses a similar to as last week to confuse Brady.

    As a bonus I have two survivor playoff teams with a ton of Indy guys left and a Superbowl appearance would guarantee me the win in both.

    Losing to the ravens was easier for me to handle than the Giants and Seahawks games tbh.

    Wishful thinking, last 2 games the Pats have played the Colts they've rushed for 480 yards on 90 carries for 10 TDs.

    Pats fans and local media are pissing me off with how confident they are.

    This reminds me of the Super Bowl against the Giants. I haven't heard ANYONE give Indy a chance to be competitive, let alone win.

    Now I'm back to being worried.

    Thats what happens when you beat a team by a zillion every time you play them i guess. The reasoning ive seen for ppl picking the Colts is "Luck is due against the Pats" lol.

    Pats lose this game and its a choke.
