I'll be up front. Even though we live in Baltimore, our favorite teams are the Patriots and the Colts. I started following the Patriots after the Colts left Baltimore and ex-Colt Raymond Berry was coaching in New England. AND, we used to live in Plainville, right down Route 1 from Foxboro, and I still have cousins in Massachusetts. Plus, one of my co-workers has gone to EVERY Patriots game since right after the Colts left.
There was no snow in Foxboro last night, but we saw a really good game. Jacksonville is GOOD. We were impressed with their big, shifty QB. Jacksonville is going places.
But the Patriots were just that much better. It was a fun game to watch, and it would have been even more fun to be there.
And yes, youth is often overrated. In the end, the Patriots years of practice and experience and playing together made a difference.
We'll be cheering for the Colts today, and my only regret is that if/when the Colts win, they'll be playing the Patriots next weekend in the "semi-finals." That's the Super Bowl match-up I'd really like to see, but alas, the league isn't set up that way.
But the Patriots or Colts against the Packers? That might be interesting.
