When they went down 21-3 is when I broke the bed, flopping down it. So I missed the comeback trying to fix the bed, oh well needed a new bed anyway.

GO COLTS!!!!

Lol, that's funny  ;D

Wild and entertaining game.......Norm, I hope you're OK after all that .......it's tough on the old ticker when it's your team in the game but that Pats have nothing to be embarresed about.

As a crazy Volunteer fan I am really happy for Peyton.....it's been a long time coming for him.

Well, for Colts fans that was a FABULOUS comback, but it was also the worst TOTAL COLLASPE in playoff history! I think the Patriots have EVERYTHING to be embarrassed about. I thought they were pitiful and Caldwell should find another team to play for next year.

On to the Super Bowl!

Brady and Belechick are 12 - 2 in playoff games.  They'll be back.  What a game!!!  I didn't really have a horse in this race, but I did think that Peyton deserved to have the monkey off his back.  I think I'm rooting for the Colts in the Superbowl.  If Peyton doesn't win the Superbowl there will still be critics who say he can't win the big one.  Dan Marino played and lost in one Superbowl and you still hear this directed at him.  

wow that was an awsome game.  Best one of the year.  Looks like we will have our first african american head coach as a winner of the super bowl.  A fact I learned yesterday that I didnt know.

Okay, changed my underwear, riskkid; I'm okay now

RW, you're being a bit harsh. As a lifelong Pats fan, I have to admit: I think the best team on the field won that game. Manning's offense in the second half deserves huge credit. Yes, the Pats blew some key chances: the dropped pass in the end zone, an ill-timed roughing-the-passer penalty, a lousy passing route by Troy Brown at a crucial time late in the game--the kind of mistakes the Pats don't usually make. Seymour seemed gimpy the whole game, they really missed Rodney Harrison in the secondary, and their lack of receiver depth caught up with the Pats in this game.  Late in the third period, the Pats defense looked exhaustedlegs and hamstrings cramping up, players weakened by the flu, etc. The inability of Maroney to get going hurt the Pats' clock-eating running game, which meant the offense spent way too little time on the field. The Pats peaked last week in San Diego.

None of this should detract from Manning's precise passes and Indy's nicely varied play calling. I really enjoy having the Pats kick Indy butts, but last night, after a very iffy start, Manning really  delivered. My small consolation is that Vinateri wasn't a factor.

Congrats, Indy fans. (My wife's from Chicago, so I'm afraid we're going to have to root against you on Feb. 4, though.)

nboucher,

You're right, too harsh and I don't even have a dog in the fight! I meant no disrespect for Colts's fans either, Manning & Company WON that game.

Congrats, Indy fans. (My wife's from Chicago, so I'm afraid we're going to have to root against you on Feb. 4, though.)

Why?  Marriage does not mean you have to root for the same teams.  It's only a game, besides, you have a guest room, don't you?   ;D  (or at least a couch!)

For a while last fall, when it looked like the Red Sox might be playing the White Sox in the postseason, we were lining up the marriage therapists. Fortunately, we dodged the bullet. It's not easy having a bisoxual family. ;D
