November 4th Can’t Get Here Soon Enough
“I am not a choke artist!”
When the Colts performed a 29-7 disembowelment of the once feisty Jaguars on Monday night, yet another second tier AFC team fell by the wayside. More importantly, it meant there’s less than two weeks left to wait for true Armageddon - Pats vs Colts at the RCA Dome!
Pats vs Cowboys? Foreplay. Colts vs Jags? Sloppy foreplay between two old people with dentures. November 4th is the real deal, folks. Break out the clean sheets and the KY, because it is going to get nasty!
Ironically, if both teams have a weakness, it’s the same one - run defense. On Sunday, the Dolphins put up a whopping 179 rushing yards on the Pats, while the Jags ran for 117 on the Colts. This despite the fact that both those passing offenses weren’t exactly fearsome: QB Cleo Lemon was consistently throwing to the spot where his Dolphins wide receivers used to be, while Jacksonville replacement QB Quinn Gray was absolutely horrific. Seriously, if this football thing doesn’t work out for Gray, the U.S Postal Service is ready to grab him. AIR MAIL!
(thank you, thank you, I’ll be in Vegas on the 15th!)
Having said that, both teams go into this weekend as big favorites. So barring any upset by Carolina or Washington this weekend, the Patriots and Colts should square off the following week as the last two unbeatens in the league. And because of the growing chasm between these two teams and the rest of the league, it almost assures that they will be playing for home field advantage in the AFC Championship Game.
