A funny thing happened to me while running errands on Sunday afternoon. Listening to the radio broadcast of the Colts' 17-15 win over the Ravens, I heard Bob Lamey say that the Colts "just weren't catching any breaks". A 9-0 team not catching any breaks?
.
Maybe Bob forgot about Kris Brown's field goal miss from 42 yards (after connecting from 56 earlier in the game) that would've sent the game into overtime. Maybe he forgot about Bill Belichick inexplicably going for it on 4th-and-2 from his own 28-yard line with a six point lead.
Seemingly on cue, Billy Cundiff, who connected on five field goals in the game, missed a 30-yarder that would've given the Ravens an 18-17 lead. Where was the bad luck on that one?
Any Colts' fan that complains about "not catching any breaks" should be slapped in the face. Do yourself a favor and ask a Jets' fan about "not catching any breaks". See what that person says (or does) to you. Even better: ask a Browns' fan.
.
This is a team that's 10-0. They've been to the playoffs each of the last in each of the last eight seasons (I already counted this year). They've won the division five of those years and are on-pace to win their sixth. This is also a team that has won a franchise-record 19 regular season games in a row, and 51 of their last 64 dating back to 2005. To put that in prespective, the Browns, Lions, and Buccaneers will all likely lose more games this year than the Colts have in the past half-decade.
"Not catching any breaks". Pfft. The regular season is a four-month vacation for Colts' fans.
