Sorry Dom, there is just no reason why the Colts, who had a 20-10 lead late should have lost that game, period. The Pats buried themselves with penalties galore, and yet the Colts were unable to close.
You stated that the Pats were one dimensional; perhaps, through your reasoning, you should reverse that thinking if you are making the argument that the Colts needed Harrison.
Bottom line, the Colts had the Pats on the ropes, and they allowed Brady to bury them; that is what excellent quarterbacks do. The Colts had Brady beat down all day long, yet he does what a Hall of Fame quarterback does, takes what the defense gives.
Hence, the Pats won, and the Colts lost.
