He should be happy that Belichick, not Red Auerbach, coaches the Pats.

Now it's time for the Colts comeback that will come up just short. The final will probably be something like 34-28.

Good win against a good team. I don't know whether it's awful coaching or awful playing or both that leads to these fourth-quarter defensive (non-)performances, but they ended up on top. Big win to keep pace with the Jets, who pulled another win out of their a##es today. They lose that game (as, let's face it, they would have last year), and that's a tough day, with a two-game swing in the standings.
Detroit plays very well at home so this is a tough spot on Thursday. But in the worst-case scenario, they have a chance to tie the Jets for the division lead two weeks from today.
Also, because I really think they'll be better in 2011 and 2012 than they are now, here's a quick rundown on the 2011 draft choices, which went up in value today:
1 (from Oakland: #14-18)
1 (30-32)
2 (from Carolina: #1)
2 (30-32)
3 (from Minnesota: #5-9)
3 (30-32)
4 (30-32)
5 (30-32)
6 (from New Orleans: 23-29)
Just one more win and they'll clinch that 9-7 record I predicted.

An interesting fact for today.....
With Joique Bell on the Colts, think he only saw action on the special teams, and Danny Woodhead playing today, it was the first time two Harlon Hill Award Winners have played against each other in the NFL.

Re: Patriots 2010: the Year We Make Contracts
True, but then again, the offense was playing shorthanded without the usually-dependable Fred Taylor in the lineup.
Re: Patriots 2010: the Year We Make Contracts
Coupla things...
before last Colts drive told my son that only an interception would save us from the family eating in silence, if at all.
The Bill Parcells model of absolutely needing to be able to grind out 2 first downs on the ground late in a game should not be forgotten.
The pass rusher disrupting Peyton was huge on that last pass.
Getting to see both Mannings do 'the look' after crucial int's was enjoyable
The Colts are missing a few players with injuries...too bad the announcers never mentioned that...they must be the only team with injuries
When Collie hit the ground I told my son "that's not good" you could tell he had a head issue again
Brandon Tate, when clinging to a 3 point lead, don't run the ball out from 4 yards deep and only get to the 15
Whether it is Brady or the OC, somebody is getting too conservative late with leads

Fragile Fred had a hang nail
Ben Jarvus is a wee bit better than Maroney and Woodhead is a trip to watch, be barely comes up to the linemans shoulders

I'm just going to re-post this now, because it applies. How do the Pats have 8 wins against some really tough teams when their defense is so porous???

This one had a familiar feel: the play of the defense makes you wonder how they'll ever make a stop, and then you look up and suddenly the game has shifted. Sometimes you're not even sure how and when it happened, though today the McCourty INT did stick out as a huge play.
Fragile Fred was even active today! (But he didn't play a snap.)
Also, Woodhead has been extended through 2012.
Nine wins as of Thanksgiving Day. Very nice. I don't want to get ahead of things, but just thinking about who they've beaten (specifically, Balt/Pitt), and the strength-of-victory tiebreaker (which could actually end up playing a decisive role), this Jets game in 11 days sets up as a monster game -- winner has the inside track to the No. 1 seed, while the loser has the inside track to the No. 5 seed (and perhaps a trip to Indy or San Diego).

ESPN's hatred of the Patriots continues:

Way to substantiate your claim, INT boy. You guess the ref didn't see it? I see...
I love the comments section too. An argument for mass castration if there ever was one.
