It's called regression toward his mean (playoff record).

Look good. Run defense is much improved. Tight man to man coverage forcing Denver to beat them deep. Took away everything short. Different team than we last saw them.

I actually am less scared of their offense than I was Baltimores, though. Luck gives the ball away.

Pats win going away.

Brady doesn't make the same mistakes he made in the first game vs. Indy and doesn't gift Indy points.

The negative about this is just that...we may have seen the last manning-Brady duel last year...

And it was an afc champ game loss on our part

Looks like the Colts are celebrating like they won the SuperBowl...good...

Manning was fearsome at one time. he did have his Achilles heel in some situations though like weather and big games. Sort of sad to see him suddenly an old man. He should retire. Thanks for the memories Peyton. Enjoy your millions.

We're gonna take that horseshoe, shine it up real nice, turn it sideways and....

Not sure I agree with the assessment of the broadcasters... more impressed with how bad the Broncos look than how good the Colts look. Still can't run much, and can't stop the run. Luck has a monster arm, but throws a couple picks. What exactly is new?

My biggest concern, to be frank, is simply a regression to the mean. I mean, how many times in a row can you beat a team by double figures? Colts have shown improved toughness, and I expect a close one.

I am so excited...is it Sunday yet?

Luck will make his 2 bad INTs like usual. Blount time

We're on to Indianapolis.

This is the last team the Pats wanted to come to Foxboro ..

Colts are soft. Not as soft as Denver, but still soft.

NE 38
IND 17

The Broncos are far more easy to defend than the Pats. The Pats showed teams how to shut down Manning. Take away the center of the field and force Manning to throw outside the numbers and he is useless. How many wide open receivers did he miss outside the numbers tonight?

The Ravens? Agreed. Good thing the Pats already sent them packing.

LOL
