Wow. Did Tennessee throw that game away or what? So many chances to put it away.

Yup. The offense couldn't get anything going and the defense just got tired from being on the field all game. Pretty much the same story every week.

I had 15 confidence points on the 'Boys. I'm lucky they came back - Hansen doesn't miss too many less than 40 yards.

Brady to Moss for 2 TD's, the 2nd being a 63 yarder. 14-3 bad guys.

Anthony Smith is a total goat this game.

Muahahaha... How y'all liking this game? I came here to brag about my 34-20 prediction, but I see that I actually predicted 28-17 here. Oh well, my Patriot hating friends are pulling out their hair because I called 34-20 to them before the game...

I've met so many Patriot fans the last 6 years. I wonder where they all were the years before that. When they where one of the worst teams in football. It always puzzles me how when teams are winning they have more fans. Everytime people tell me there patsie fans, I'm always wondering since when. Now this may not apply but I only know of one true Patsie fan, the rest all became fans recently, this is the same for the Colts!!!

I've been around for years. I remember 1-15, getting our asses kicked by the Bears in 86, and Steve Grogan throwing footballs for this team.

I loved the "guarantee, guarantee" chant today. 13-0, baby.

Pats fan for 30 years. Where are all these Pat fans KTown is talking about? Mostly I see Pats haters. IMO, casual NFL fans seem to gravitate to the Cowboys and Colts.

DET really gave it away today. Stupid penalty before the missed field goal. Romo fumbles and the linebacker inexplicably tries to grab it standing up - all he had to do was fall on it, and game over.

Big game next week for the Browns. What? You are not so wild about the Browns. Well, I'm not wild about your attitude . . . a team so good, they don't need a logo!

You mean the bad guys? And can you refrain from saying WE and US when talking about the Colts? Bad form.

It is way easier for for casual fans to start cheering for a winner. Besides the obvious "everyone loves a winner" sentiment, they are also on TV more than the bottom-feeders. Tough to become a fan of a team you rarely get to see.

Who cares when they became fans? I mean, honestly, unless you live in the city, it usually takes something to turn you into a fan of another city's team, be it a special memory, or a dominating season like they're having right now.

Actually happy to see the Pats win today, all but locks up that #2 spot for the Colts. No team needs rest more then Indy coming into these last weeks of the season. Very impressed so far tonight, having a big start like that was key for a team that had to be down after monday night. My god though, the Colts may have the worst coverage team of all time.

Congrads to Brady, with how bad the Jets are, he may just break Peytons record next week. Kudos to the guy, he's a lot classier then his coach.
