actually, 4-4 will still probably let the Pats win the division in the AFC east.
Especially where they still have Bills x1, Jets x2, Miami x2. Which allows them to beat up on their Division and have all the tie breakers.
Plus they have New Orleans, KC and Tampa.
Only 2 games after the Colts that worry me are KC and Bills in Buffalo.
Anyway, after watching a lot of Colts breakdowns this morning, I take back my control the ball by running thoughts. I think the Pats go 4 and 5 wide, spread out the defense of Indy like Jacksonville did. Eventually it will force Indy into a dime package which takes Indy's LB's of the field (who have most of their INT's) and leaves smaller DB's to run at.
As for Freeny, he will own the LT (I forget the Pats rookies name) however if you look at pasts games, the Pats always put Grahm over their, or even Dillon to help out which slowed him down, plus Brady is great in the pocket/under pressure.
If it's a close game, I think the Pats will win.
If it's a blowout, Indy wins.
As good as Indy's defense is, I just can't see how a Pats secondary that made Kelly Holcomb look like a Pro-Bowler will stop Manning.
If I'm Manning, I get to the line, look for Starks and go "yep, their's my bitch".
