7:06 Why do I have the feeling I'm going 0 for 2 this weekend? What a strange TD.
7:18 1st and 20 for the Colts. Touchdown knocked out of the air. Good defensive play.
7:26 End of first quarter. Pats: 7, Colts 3
7:37 Clutch 4th down conversion! And now a Corey Dillon (former Bengal) TD. Wow. I got it all wrong this time.
7:42 And away the Patriots go, like Paul Revere's night ride. TD Pats. 21 Pats 3 Colts
8:07 Colts have a critical 3rd down here.
8:15 So no end zone and they are how many qtrs without TDs? I'm thinking the Pats feel very comfortable, if you ask me.
Halftime
Unfortunately, it looks like game over to me and I will have to remember that I should always pick according to what I believe about who can win, not who I want to win.
8:32 Here we go. Can the Colts make some tracks?
8:41 So the Colts got that one. One down and one more to go to catch up. Pats: 21 Colts: 13
8:58 Colts TD and why are they going for two?
8:59 Oh that's why. :) Game is tied.
4th qtr
Current score: Pats: 28 Colts: 21
Manning on the move.
9:23 I have never seen so many fumble-type TDs in the history of football! Tied!
9:49 FG good - Tied at 31
9:54 FG Pats... glad they didn't score a TD. Gives Colts a chance...
The biggest come-back win in play-off history!
Final score: Colts 38 Patriots 34

fortune smiles on the Pats!
BTW, boogieman is my hero. He took me back to our store, in the snow, to get my extra AC adaptor so I could watch and comment on my laptop.
True love.
Yes, well they're both fun to watch. I won't be sad if the Colts lose. I enjoy the Pats.
Oh tell him he is my friend now too. That is so nice of him! I'm tyring to finish grading very poorly written essays. Ugh.
Definitely a game of inches so far...
Hey, did you see the commercial for the Buick Open? We can get our Tiger fix next weekend!
I did just see that! Nice that it's scheduled between play-offs and Superbowl. I miss Tiger.
Wow, 4th and six, they have some big cahones. And they get it.
And they walk in for the TD.
goodness...
Yeah, walking all over them, more like.
The Colts have to find their defense to beat the Pats. I tell you what, the play calling is amazing.
And I can't help but like Tom Brady.
Wow. I got it all wrong this time.
Lot's of football left, tho.
(Not that I want to show any mercy to the Colts!)
ohhhh, maybe not so much football left. that's gotta hurt the psyche.
Don't you find it amazing that the Patriots were ignored for most of the season and that Belichick was criticized for his player trading.
If they win this whole thing, they are the best ever.
Oh no! Sack at the 5!
It is amazing. They are good even when they are bad. Top notch leadership and coaching.
I love how they don't have any big-egos. Redskins could sure take a page out of that book.
It is such a mental game and there are none tougher than the pats.
It's just odd that the game seems so unbalanced so quickly.
Now see, I picked the Pats last week when most people didn't becaue I think Brady is the guy to count on. It looks like that is the truth again here.
Manning said Brady in the post-season is not the same animal as in the regular season. Wow.
ruh-roh third and 21...and a sack..could the colts get some life out of this?
They sure hope so!
But remember, they have, ahem, several TDs to make up.
colts have a pulse...
There we go! Hanging on for a 1st.
Phew. They have to score a TD. They have had a drought and now's the time to do it. Before the half.
that's a good call, I think.
Yeah, of course you think that. :)
Do you kick the field goal or go for the TD?
Well, it's done now, but I agree with getting the three.
It was a good call, tho ;-)
we got ourselves a ballgame here...
that was a great series by the colts.
killer hit, i heard that from here!
colts gots some fight in em
I am getting a little worried...flu, cramps,...ruh-roh
Aha!! They are better than I thought. Wah, wah.
facegaurding...never heard of it...wow, learn something new...
colts go for two?
Did you see that huge guy catch that pass? Ballet, I tell you.
I'm not feeling so warm and fuzzy anymore...
I bet you are now. Wow. That run back was ridiculous! Just when I think they've got momentum...
hmmm...80 yard return...feeling a little better.
C-R-A-Z-Y!
Come on D!!
Remember, I have to live with boogieman if he goes two and oh.
Ah did that poor guy drop da ball? Boo hoo. NOT!
how did he drop that, oh the agony.
Touchdown, baby!!!
Was he out of bounds when he leaped? Of course he was.
Not so fast, sweet-heart.
dreaded red flag....i don't see how you can tell if he was out of bounds before the catch ?!?!
nervewracking!!!
I don't really get why pushing out of bounds is not okay. Do you know why?
Here it comes: You happy girl.
a-very-big-exahale-here...
if he is pushed out of bounds in the process of jumping for a catch and he would have landed in bounds then it is ruled a catch...is that what you mean?
why? because the football rule gods have deemed it that way. O guess it would be awfully easy to defend on the sidelines and endzone if not for that rule.
Okay, Back to breathing. Manning has to get the job done. That's how it works.
sorry about the injury, but nice rest for the Pat D.
I hate injuries.
hmmm, you are a much kinder, gentler football fan than I...
I noticed you crazy thing. I guess it's the left over from Carson's knee injury. We had to hear about every incremental step of recovery he made. Play-off injuries are especially painful, doncha think?
Peyton is cooperating with you Julie...keep coachin him up...
Yes, well... he knows I can't go 0 and 2, right?
The Pat D looks exhausted.
TD!! Woo-hoo! right back atcha, they say.
Well, I do hate if a player misses the superbowl to an injury.
another crazy-fumble-touchdown...man this game has it all...
Kim, we're up to like 55 crazy comments! I love having you over for the game. Ha! Ha! (Those were chest bumps)
Do you love the diet pepsi commercial? I love it.
yes, but if the Pats lose, I'm 0-2 :-(.
And I will not be able to live with the Peyton superbowl hype.
I will have to go live in a cave.
Thank God for NASCAR and the Daytona 500. I still have that to look forward to.
This is a blast, Julie...
We will have to watch a game together IRL someday!
Next time we'll have to set up an IM chat. Makes more sense, don't you think? Love this.
yes, how crazy will these comments seem to others, after the fact, LOL.
It's not possible that you are still grading essays, is it?
Well, I think I'm going to take it down when it's over. A bit silly. But so much fun! I'm grading all at the same time.
I really am. They are not super long and the comments are starting to repeat themselves. I do one every couple minutes. :)
oh, if you are going to take it down then I can start using my full repertoire of swear words ;)
Ha! Guess what essay I just opened? One written by a student about Paul Brown and the Bengals! :) How funny is that?
So did you pike your voo-doo peyton doll in the thumb? He's injured. :(
>_< maaaaybe
how could he drop that?
That was ugly! I'm so happy.
No flag. I honestly can't figure out when it's pass interference.
just a little contact there, crap!
ok, now we can see what is up with peyton's thumb..*stick, stick, stick*
You're back ahead. but I don't think that was what they wanted. Can Manning throw? Would it be the deepest irony if he has to sit out now?
I say: Play through it Peyton!
(that has a nice ring to it)
uh-oh
must stop them from scoring...
whew, stopped the TD.
Not again! Why run it on 3rd and five? But come on! They need a TD. Well, Vinateri better be as good as he's supposed to be...
Ya know, that's a couple of shaky ones.
that was a near Romo
oh good lord, that was great...
Good grief. Can they stop a single receiver?
This makes NE's drives too easy.
Hey, I'm sorry I messed up your live blogging posts with all these silly comments...but, thanks for letting me have so much fun!
In FG position AGAIN! If the Colts lose it will be because they are always playing catch up and never leading.
You haven't messed up anything! It's been a blast.
I'm liking 3rd and 10
heavy sigh of relief
Pats need a turnover!!!
very large exhale, very large
RATS!!!
Taht sucks.
Another 40 yard start for the Pats. That could be the game right there.
boogieman is a bit worried
8-0 when games are decided by 7 pts or less - pats. Wow.
now that's not helpful, damn.
great defense
i'm not sure i can make it through an overtime!
Good grief! Can you believe this breath holding game?
oh my, this could be it...they could score...#$$%^^
My heart just stopped!
half the distance to the goal!!!
Here it comes. Peyton may have it in him yet.
boogieman is a little excited right now...i mean in a football way...
They better score. i can't do an OT. I have so much grading to do but it has stopped. I can't breathe, move or think. And this isn't even my team! What a game.
LOL! we're up to 100 comments.
i'm prepared to turn off all sports talk radio until after the superbowl!!
3rd and 2. 1:02
What a game.
I can understand that. :)
When the Bengals lost, I was the same way for a week.
Even better!!!!!! They did it!
oh, shit...
Hey those Pats could easily get the game typing FG with 60 secs.
Oh wait! We're up by 4!
i needed that laugh!
Set your sights on NaSCAR dear. :)
sigh, Tiger and NASCAr, yes, this too shall pass.
Aha. One down.... down.
Oh I can't believe this.... danger, danger.
The perfect ending!!!!!
*extends hand* good game!
Hi five top you too.
You made the whole thing the most fun ever!
Have a great night.
have fun with those papers! i'm off to give boogieman a good slug in the arm ;).
Thanks for doing this...most fun I've had lately!
i can only imagine what this did for your pageviews stats on sitemeter...
I'll certainly do you the honors on the next game. :)
Wow that was so exhilarating! My heart was pounding, my pulse is just now returning to normal.
What a great, unforgettable game. This was a great day of football - none of the teams have anything to hang their heads about. The NFL put on quite a showcase today.
I did a doubletake when I saw "121" comments. Man, you and Kim were burning up cyberspace today. Looks like y'all had fun. ;-)
Susan
Ahem...
"Pats himself on the back for going 2-0 this football weekend..."
"Pats himself on the back for going 2-0 this football weekend..."
Aww, Boogieman, please don't say "pats."
