Q: How different is this week’s game against the Patriots from in the past where both teams were usually at the top of the AFC?

TD: They [Patriots] are doing a little bit better than we are. I would say neither of us has played up to our expectations so far. This is going to be a big game. It’s pivotal in a lot of ways. When you are fighting like this you have to get wins and get a streak going. We have to get it turned around quickly and we are playing a very tough opponent to try to do that.

I'm not buying the humble bit

The Colts are downright thrilled to be playing the Patriots, especially with the unproven secondary to be taken full advantage of, so they can get back to being a respectable .500.

Keep the faith!

Yep.

It couldn’t come at a better time for them: beat a hated rival, stop a slide, get the fans and the press off your back for a week.

OTOH, the pressure is really on them. The Pats limp into town, playing them on a Sunday night game. The fans will be amped, but this is a game they both should win and must win. I wouldn’t trade places with them, at all. If the Pats win, super. If not, I don’t think anyone will either a) be shocked by that or b) push the panic button. If the Colts lose this one, the panic button in Indy is going to get a real workout.

As Mr. Sloan always says, there is no "I" in team, but there is an "I" in pie. And there's an "I" in meat pie. Anagram of meat is team... I don't know what he's talking about. --Shaun of the Dead
