AFC East Positioning - matchup against Colts is important

If you've been following Bills vs. Jets, you already know NYJ got it done, 26-17.  This puts Buffalo at 5-3 after losing to 2 of 3 division rivals, Miami and NY.  A win against the Colts would put us at 6-2 and leader of the AFC East.  Uhhmm... Is anyone else thinking this is just absolutely, flat out, freakin' crazy?  I mean, who would've thought, after losing Brady, we could take the lead in the AFC East after Buffalo started off so strong?

Did I mention we play the Bills next week at Gillette?  Let's recap, shall we?  A win tonight puts us at 6-2 and the Bills at 5-3 going into a game in Foxboro.  If we lose to the Bills, it's tied up.  A loss to the Colts puts us at 5-3, tied for first place in the east.  Suddenly, next week's matchup against the Bills would be a battle for first place.

I'll start drinking now...

[EDIT] My bad for forgetting NYJ is ALSO 5-3

Go Pats!

It just drives all those Pats haters crazy! Even without Brady & Harrison – and all th other injuries – the Pats are still in the hunt for the playoff!

Let's get this party started!

everyone’s been here since early afternoon—all just precursor for tonight. I can’t tell you how many articles I’ve read this past week on how this Pats – Colts matchup just won’t be the same. I’ll go so far as to argue that this game tonight means more than last year’s battle of the undefeated. The Pats have so much to prove and can take advantage of the Bills losing earlier today, while the Colts are fighting for their lives. Pretty intense storyline if you ask me.

Keep the faith!
