With the Colts it is. Dungy/Manning show Belichick respect and he'll do the same.
When you follow the Patriots for an entire season and not just the 30 second snippets you get on SportsCenter, maybe you'll know what the you're talking about here.
Btw, you have a link about TO calling Thomas, I cant find anything about it anywhere

I dont either, unless Roy and Hamlin start covering worth a .
I also think the Steelers could beat them.

All SC talks about is the Pats, kind of hard not to follow them all season.
I bet the average fan could name more players off the Pats than any team in the NFL.
I doubt it too...not because its the Colts but I think the whole Patriots organization is so pissed at the whole world that they are going to try and wax everyone they face. IMO, they look like a team that has adopted the "us against the world" mentality and perfected it. I don't think Belichick, Brady and Co. will be happy until they pecker-slap everyone in the league on the way to a 4th Lombardi. Mind you, I don't know this for sure, this is just an opinion. No one on this board actually knows what is going on behind the scenes, we can just speculate.I think the only team they'll treat with any respect is the Colts, and deservedly so
the colts/pats game is going to be very interesting. i am expecting a shootout, but wouldn't be surprised if it was 20-17 either. if manning is on he will be able to pick the patties d apart, and brady likewise. but i'm really confused here - the patties don't give a what everyone says, but they do?
I would easily assume Peyton Manning and company feel the same exact way. Some even had the Colts going 9-7 and missing the playoffs (Skip Bayless) while others no longer saw them as a serious elite contender.
He's been running up the score on every team he's played this year. He waved off his assistant from taking a head coaching job because of his own issues with the Jets organization. Mangini is no saint himself because of his trying to poach some of the Pats talent on his way out the door, but who the is Belicheck to tell a guy he can't take a head coaching job?
I don't watch SportsCenter.
Maybe but the Colts haven't been accused of cheating. I think that NE is out to prove that they can win without shenanigans.I would easily assume Peyton Manning and company feel the same exact way.

...says mono, Patriots fan since 2001! Yeah!
Best part of the whole game was Marion's 2 yard 10 broken tackle run in the Boys endzone. The Pats defenders where ing to the refs the whole game about Barber's stiffarms
That was funny when he made Rodney Harrison his .
IMO, the only way you have a chance to beat NE is to get consistent pressure from your front four.
If Brady and the NE WRs have time, you're done.
larry whigham.
Nobody in sports closes ranks the way that the Patriots do. You get the sense, sometimes, that they're a team full of guys that everyone else in the NFL just hates. You also get the sense that they want it that way.
The Patriots are incredibly comfortable in their own skin and they are an extremely tight-knit group that's been through so many battles under so many different cir stances that nothing ever seems to faze them at this point. They lose players and just plug someone new in; they lose assistant coaches and just plug someone new in. That core stays intact and it refuses to worry about what anyone else thinks, while focusing exclusively on winning games. In that sense, I think these guys are clearly on a level with the great Super Bowl dynasties like the Steelers of the 70's, the 49'ers of the 80's, and the Cowboys of the 90's. Those other clubs (and the Steelers and 49'ers of those eras never dealt with free agency and salary caps) were probably all more talented, but I don't think any of them was as resilient and tough-minded as this group of Patriots. That's not to say that those teams were mentally soft, only that this group of Patriots might be among the toughest-minded teams ever.
It's scary that they're this good right now with no appreciable running game and without Richard Seymour, who is probably the best defensive lineman in the game when healthy.
I do recall Belichick refusing to talk to Peyton Manning after he lost in the AFC championship game last year. Manning went out of his way to find him and talk to him afterwards, and Bill didn't even look at the guy. He just nodded his head while walking away angrily. I never recalled Manning ignoring post-game condolences from opponents...
Week 9 the Colts are going to pick off Brady at least twice and get him for 3 or more sacks. And they'll win the game.
According to SI, Belichick broke the ice at the Pro Bowl and bought Manning a beer. Probably ed it with some rufanol and stole his kidneys. Or maybe it was truth serum so he could find out what all of the Colts checks and audibles are.
I think so too. If they are healthy going into that game, I think they could beat the Pats handily
angry? did you even watch what happened 2 seconds earlier when he HUGGED Tony Dungy?
sorry he can't service the entire opposing team with blowjobs after the game, but he's got to get to the locker room since the Colts just won the AFC championship and had a big trophy ceremony to get started. Lingering about on the field after a defeat is more classless than hugging the winning HC and getting the out of there.
Or shoving the cameraman after beating the Jets. Or the way he handled the post-game interview with Solomon Wilcotts. No player or coach wants to do that crap after losing in the playoffs, but it's part of the job, you deal with the media and you handle yourself like a professional. He couldn't be bothered to mouth a few cliches and pla udes, he was a total .
Help us Peyton Manning, you're our only hope!
How nice of him. Unfortunately that was weeks later, and at the moment that it mattered most, he was very disrespectful, when Manning has done nothing except show him and the Patriots the utmost respect.
