7 10/23 Bye
8 10/30 W vs Bills 21-16 (Buffalo currently has a losing record)

Yes the Colts are undefeated, but I think I see some disparity in the quality of teams The Pats and Colts have faced so far this year.

Do you see an stand-out teams on the Colts list? The Jags are the only team jumping out at me as a 'quality' team. (Sorry RAC). Maybe that's because The Jags are the only team The Colts have faced that have a winning record at 4-3.

I think you can see where I'm going with this. Yes, the Colts are coming in undefeated, flying high-again, while the Pats are 4-3, riddled with injuries and everyone in Patriot Nation is wondering 'could this be Peyton's chance to finally win a game at The Razor'? Well, I will admit to wondering that myself. It could very well happen. This is as good a chance as he's had since 2001. Oh wait. 2001... What happened in 2001?

Remember this?

2001 Patriots:
9/9 17-23 L at Cincinnati
9/23 3-10 L vs N.Y. Jets

(Holy shit the Pats are 0-2 and Peyton Manning and The Colts are next. Oh my god! What will happen?! We are doomed!)

9/30 44-13 W vs Indianapolis

Maybe this is Manning's best shot to get a win at The Razor in forevah, but something in my gut tells me The Pats get it done on Monday night... Plus, The Football Gods don't like an undefeated team.

GO PATS
