Jonathan Kraft accused the Colts of pumping in fake noise to make the RCA dome louder. But CBS stepped in later to take responsibility for weird reverb (audio clip link).
Why is CBS pumping in its own crowd noise? That seems pretty cheezy. I don't think it takes a lot of imagination for the people watching to realize that the place is loud.
But, either way, the Colts' image of NFL purity is preserved, and the evil whining Patriots add another notch in their belt for pure evilosity.
A couple of evil notes that went unnoticed:
1. Roosevelt Colvin spiking on the Colts logo at midfield. The Colts unfortunately don't have a LaDainain Tomlinson to cry about it.
2. Tom Brady chewing out the official during kneel-down time in the 4th quarter. It was a good day for the disrespectful Tom Brady..he gave hope to all that is good and pure, then ripped into their dreams and delivered a painful blow to their feelings of goodness.
3. Rodney Harrison, He Who Must Not Be Voted to the Pro Bowl. How many times did you see a running play, where the play was whistled over, people were starting to drag themselves off the pile, then from off-camera comes a flying Harrison to deliver a death blow to whoever crossed his path? Fantastic. I counted three times, but it had to be more.
4. The Anti-Christ. It should be in the TV contracts that coaches are mic'd up before going to midfield for the awkward handshake. A nice simple nod to the efforts of Stupid Flanders, before moving on. Tony Dungy said something, then Belichick gave that "whatever get the hell away from me" reaction.
So now we have the bye week. For the next couple of days we'll get inundated with the obligatory "this team will go 16-0" columns, which are plentiful already, then they'll be ignored for a week. If Buffalo wins this weekend, then they may actually be considered a semi-challenge for the Patriots by a couple of dissenting columnists. Other than that, it's smooth sailing until the monday nighter against the Ravens.

I think the Monday nighter against the Ravens will be notable only for further accusations of the Patriots running up the score. As a Steelers fan, however, I think the game against Pittsburgh could be the one that does in the 16-0 talk.
On talk radio yesterday, Brady said he was upset on the kneel-down because Colts linebackers were illegally simulating the snap count.
Your right Mark, the Ravens proved last night that they are nothing more than the hot air coming out of Ray Lewis' mouth. They're terrible. Steve McNair is done, that defense is the worst it's looked in the last 7 years.
The Steelers look solid, but I like the Patriots ability to take away the running game. Big Ben is playing well but when you throw only 15 passes, it's pretty easy to look good.
I still like the Patriots to destroy them. it's the Buffalo's of the world that I worry about more. Last year it was the lowly Dolphins that beat the Patriots late in the season. It was supposedly a lopsided matchup then, so we'll see.
Thanks for the info Angela, I didn't hear that. I'm always willing to justify his disrespectful rantings.
Division games are not to be brushed off. Don't forget Destro(Mangini) might try to screw up Cobra Commander's plans.
Destro!! Thank you, i was looking for that name last week when I brought him up. I'm literally nervous about that Buffalo game. They look good and the stereotypical "Buffalo is tough to play against in their home stadium late in the year" should get a lot of mileage leading up to it. Fortunately they have a rookie QB and no one named Mathis or Freeney.
The Dolphins of 2007 make the 2006 version look like the 1999 Rams.
