Stop me if you've heard this one before: Adam Vinatieri walks onto the field with the ability to decide the game with a clutch field goal kick...

Alright, so the Pats fell to the Colts by a final of 18-15. I'm not gonna overreact to this one because, frankly, the Colts deserve to beat the Pats when Brady's not at the helm. Indi's not nearly as bad as they've looked in the past weeks and they proved that tonight, even if they looked a good deal less than dominant in tonight's victory.

Moving on, Stephen Gostkowski gets my nod for Pats player of the game. Dude hit three field goals (lengths of 25, 29 and 35 yards) and has only missed one all season. (I'm giving him a pass on that one because it was in the 40-49 yard range.) Just missing the cut were Kevin Faulk (10 carries for 60 yards, 5 catches for 38 yards), who continues to step up when given the ball, and BenJarvus Green-Ellis (15 carries for 57 yards, 1 catch for 8 yards), who looked surprisingly smash-mouth while running over Antoine Bethea on his third quarter TD run.

Several players are excellent candidates for busts, but I'm going to single out Matt Cassel and Jonathon Wilhite. Cassel did complete 25 passes, but he had a terribly dismal 6.0 yards per attempt average. That ain't gonna get it done, even against a defense that's struggling as much as Indi's is. Wilhite's in my dog house after getting absolutely burned by Anthony Gonzalez for a 12-yard TD pass in the first quarter. That was some of the worst coverage we've seen all year. Oh yeah, and Jabar Gaffney deserves some consideration for this "award" as he let a sure TD slip through his hands in the third quarter. But we've come to expect so little of Jab-aaaar (more fun when you say it like a pirate), so whatever.
