Not the premiere matchup of past years, unless you go past those past years. Both teams aren't very good. But I'd rather have Drake Maye than their guy.

Always fun beating The Colts. No poor coaching decisons. No late game interceptions. Just victory formation.

Yesterday I heard someone picking the Patriots to win on NFL radio. His reasoning was that“Someone has to win” and then he emphasized that “lots of things are wrong with Patriots” and then he went off on the coaching.

So feeling pretty pumped for this one.

I was there for the first regular season game between the Patriots and the Colts in 1970.When the great Johnny Unitas and the World Champion Baltimore Colts came to Cambridge to play the Boston Patriots in October of that year the Pats inexplicably played their best game of the season. We were all beaming with pride in the Harvard Stadium stands. With less than a minute left in the spirited contest, Gino Cappelletti struck a field goal to make the score, 7-6, Colts. Coach Clive Rush then logically called for an onside kick. To his enormous surprise, the kick went to one of the up-men, Tom Matte, who picked up the ball and ran untouched for six points - and the game. How had that happened? Because the entire Patriots kickoff team had overrun the ball. The Colts fan sitting next to me laughed so hard that he cried. I can report here that the concept of tears of joy remained unfamiliar to Patriots fans.

Recently, I've switched to wanting them to win to wanting them to lose for the better draft pick. Hate me all you want, but imagine if they'd won an extra game last year and weren't in position to draft Maye. (I realize that next draft is different in that they won't be looking to draft a top QB, but I still think the higher the pick the better -- maybe some team will offer a load of draft picks to move up.) Hate to root for them to lose, though, it sucks.

I imagine showing that video off to cops/Kraft/Goodell must have been awkward, though seemingly necessary.

Wait, why did they kick a fg down by 4 with a minute left? The game thread back then must have been apoplectic.

This is where I've been for the most part. Would be just fine watching Maye throw for 300 yards and 3 TDs but get outscored by Indy despite a good individual performance from Gonzalez. This roster needs all the help it can get.
