New England deserved better. Tony Dungy, Peyton Manning and the outplayed Colts were flat-out lucky.
Now, they are alive in the playoff race. It’s too bad.
Make sure to catch Bill Burt’s thoughts and Hector Longo’s Big Shows and No Shows in the two-minute drill in the Monday Eagle-Tribune.
How do you laud dungy for the field goal?
Field positiotion ?
Two Matt Cassel completions and the Pats are where they would have been.

You have to go back to late in the third quarter of the Denver game for the Patriots last penalty. This is flat-out amazing, seven fall quarters plus if the Pats get to halftime.
