How many times does he get sacked, throw a bunch of picks or make bad decisions?

Not often. But he, and New England, played one of the worst second halves (plus three minutes or so) that I've ever seen an NFL team play in last year's AFC Championship game. It was stunningly bad.

Sort of makes me wonder what is true colors are.

2 starting safeties out for that game.

DBs playing that were signed off the street that week.

3rd string LB trying to cover Dallas Clarke

Flu outbreak during the week

15 round slug fest the week before against a damned good Chargers team....

Oh yeah, with all these factors trying to play against one of the best offensive teams of the modern era with a HOF receiver, HOF QB and an All-Pro caliber 2nd WR.

How did the Bears do against the Colts?

Oh, offensively they scored 27 points (the other 7 was an INT return for a TD) with a RB that retired after the season, a second RB that was hurt and starting WR’s that were let go prior to the start of the season by other teams.

Caldwell will forever be known as the guy with the wide eyes who dropped the ball.

The Colts won but Brady did pretty good against a fast D with not much to work with.

Depends on what the definition of "is" is and "are" are...
