The media used to be all geared up for a Pats/Colts showdown, especially because they all wanted to see the Colts WIN that showdown. Now that the Colts are reeling at 3-4 and the Pats are 5-2 with a backup QB, the media is ignoring the excellent coaching job by Belichick (hm, wonder why that could be- still bitter Walsh had nothing on the team?) and also trying to ignore the fact that the NFL may see a playoffs with only one Manning this year. <BR/><BR/>As a Pats fan, I hope the Pats can put together a performance good enough to get them a gutsy road win. But the real story there would be a Pats team w/out Brady being 3 games better than the Colts midway through the season, and that's something I think none of the media are willing to discuss until the playoffs, when and if the Pats can get a bye and maybe even push for the AFC title again. <BR/><BR/>Give props to Belichick and his staff for doing an amazing job at motivating his guys during a season in which everyone said all hope was lost!!Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16477280386233433416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-66436336380474220992008-10-28T10:40:00.000-04:002008-10-28T10:40:00.000-04:00fyi, Phillies homer here. I agree, no one wants ...fyi, Phillies homer here. I agree, no one wants a rain shortened result, but there is no way on earth that the top of the 6th should have been played. And I'm convinced that MLB & Selig would have let them play on & on and only took advantage of the Rays tying the game for the perfect opportunity to suspend the game without consequence.<BR/><BR/>Now, what's the scenario? Hamels start is basically erased from the books (it's essentially a 0-0 3-inning do-over at this point), with the Rays lined up to head home with their aces and the league's best home record for games 6 & 7 if they win. I'm not saying game 5 was in hand by any stretch, but the bigger question is if the Rays don't score in the top of the 6th do they keep playing on last night? I say yes. And that's some BS. There's no way the Phillies don't blow this series now, because that's the way karma works in Philadelphia.the bankrupt museumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17576982920879091649noreply@blogger.com
