I'm a Bears fan, but I wanted to start the thread. But both teams played very well, and a slight difference in the game and the Patriots would be in the Super Bowl again. The Colts did a little more a little better. They played well all season too.
My opinion is: this is what would have happened those other 3 seasons if the lucky breaks and bad calls had evened out in any given playoff game instead of all benefitting the Pats.
