Well, the Colts may have lost the battle, but the war is still to be fought. And even though the Colts lost, they still showed that the Pats are not invincible and that they clearly aren't one of the best teams in NFL history. Brady showed that his isn't stellar, golden boy QB like the league was anointing him. The Colts definitely proved that they are the only equal to the pats. Yes, I still believe that these two teams are equal. Had the Colts had Marvin Harrison or the defense was at full strength, the outcome could've been different. But I'm not going to try to make excuses, the Pats played a good 2nd half and deserved to win the game.
That being said, I think you can clearly state that if you pressure Tom Brady, he is actually one of the worst quarterbacks in the league. When Mathis and Freeney were breathing down his throat, Brady threw interceptions and made poor throws. It was great to see someone finally nail him and put him in the ground a few times. It also showed how Brady doesn't even do anything that special. He threw bombs that Bob Lamey, Colts radio broadcaster, described as "punts." He is just heaving it as hard as he can down field and Moss happens to come up with it. Another time, he threw a poor ball to Moss but he was lucky enough to have Moss make a one-handed, amazing catch. Brady is lucky he won the game.
The Colts defense certainly showed that they are the best defense in the NFL. They picked Brady twice, equaling the number of interceptions he's had all season. They also hit the Pats in the mouth every single play. Marlin Jackson's hit was one of the best this season. And how could you ask for a better start with Robert Mathis nailing Brady to the ground. Gary Brackett had one of the best interceptions all season. Bob Sanders managed to stop another 3rd and 1 and give the Pats a loss of 3.
Another thing, Joe Addai is an absolute beast. He is the 2nd best back in the league right now behind, get this, Adrian Peterson. LT had his time, and now it belongs to Joey Addai. His 73 yard run was absolutely incredible. The way he was breaking tackles and running people over, astonishing.
Last thing, Bill Belicheck is a complete jerk. He started dancing on the field as if he had just won the Super Bowl or something, when it was just a regular season game. Then, he didn't even have enough class to shake Tony Dungy's hand. I guess we all know who the real man is between them.
True, the Colts lost, but I can't wait for the AFC Championship game in New England. That's what really matters. And trust me, I'm not the only one who knows that-Peyton Manning and Tony Dungy know that too.
