Re: ***** Clash of the Titans, Week 9: NE @ Ind*****
Anyone actually disappointed these teams have to meet in the regular season, at least this (relatively) early on? How much more amazing would it be if they were going at it 13-0 apiece, or something like that? Or better yet, both running the table through the AFC championship game? It would have been unfathomable. Rarely does a team emerge with a chance to go undefeated in any given season, let alone two, and yet, a scheduling quirk forces them to beat each other up now. Oh well.
Everyone knows what the Colts can do. What I'm looking forward to seeing is what the Pats can do when they're pushing pedal to the metal all 4 quarters. Even in the last two blowouts with all that "running up the score," we all watched and knew that they were still scoring LESS than their potential, playing a little more conservatively in the 2nd half against Miami and pulling Brady early in both games. Anyone watching that Miami game thought to themselves, "they could probably drop 70-80 in this game if they really wanted to." With the Colts' ability to score in quick bursts, Brady & Co. will undoubtedly be balls to the wall regardless of the score until the clock strikes zero, and it will be fully justifiable. This could be really impressive.
