As a Patriots fan I am having a recurring nightmare. I look at the schedule for the rest of the season and see that the Colts remaining opponents have a combined record as of this week of 29-32.
- Houston (5-5)
- Tenn (4-6)
- Denver (7-4)
- Jacksonville (6-4)
- Jets (4-6)
- Bills (3-7)
How pitiful would it be, how gut wrenching would it be, if the Colts somehow go undefeated for the rest of the season and then power through the playoffs thanks to having one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time leading the way? It is quite possible. We have to count on Denver and Jacksonville — the only winning teams left in the Colts’ schedule — to get the job done. The Denver game is in Indianapolis, I think the Colts win that one. Will Jacksonville have what it takes?
IF they go undefeated and reach 19-0, will Bill Belichik’ now infamous 4th and 2 call elevate him to Bill Buckner status in New England? Or will those three championship trophies save his hide?
I hope we never find out.
