New England @ Colts was only one game!

OK sports fans, don't be to worried about the Colts loss last Sunday... Although I must admit that it took me until today to recover...

But if everyone would examine the facts of the game then you will understand that without Randy Moss the Patriots would not have had a chance! I know you are thinking "here we go" but I am serious. Could the Pats have enjoyed the same success if they (like the Colts) were forced to play without their best receiver? Not only was Moss a significant reason that the Patriots won but he had to have a career game in order for them to win... Below is the article regarding his winning AFC player of the week honors.

New York, NY (Sports Network) - New England Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss earned the offensive honor as he hauled in nine receptions for 145 yards along with a touchdown in the Patriots 24-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts to help his team improve to 9-0 on the season. His 55-yard catch helped set up a touchdown three plays later to cut the Patriots deficit to 20-17 with 7:59 to play. It was his sixth 100-yard game of the season and 52nd of his career and he also caught his 12th touchdown of the year, a four-yard score in the second quarter.

Before you chalk my blog up to sour grapes, remember that we played the game without four of our best players and were forced to be almost one dimensional. My point is that we were forced to play without Marvin Harrison (our best receiver) and that would have been enough to change the outcome of the game. Of course this made the job of defending us a lot easier... See the names below of the players that did not play;

- Colts eight-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Marvin Harrison has missed two of the past three games with a knee injury. Rookie Anthony Gonzalez took over in Harrison's place and had one catch for 13 yards. Gonzalez, though, suffered a dislocated left thumb in the first half and never returned.

- Indy offensive left tackle Tony Ugoh (neck) and linebackers Freddy Keiaho (ear) and Tyjuan Hagler (neck) all missed Sunday's game.

With Keiaho at linebacker 7 points would have been erased and with Harrison in the game we would have score at least one more touchdown... Not mention with Tony Ugoh on the offensive line there would have been no Manning sacks! But I digress...

OK here is my point, watch the game this Sunday... Indy will blow the Chargers out of their own stadium! Colts 31, Chargers 10... Colts favored by 3 1/2, take the points!

Let's go Colts!!!
