 It is what it is, but it could have been moreSep 11, 2007
By James M. Brining
"Pocketwatch Fox"
**NOTE** This review based after watching just one of the four games in this set**NOTE**
As a long suffering Colts fan it's great to have these DVDs to remember a very special season, especially the AFC Championship game that was one for the ages. As I re-watched that game last night, I found myself cheering and pumping my fist again, even though I already knew the outcome.
That said, I was disappointed in two aspects of this DVD set.
1) While the game was broadcast in HDTV, the footage they used for the DVD set was from the standard definition, 4:3 aspect ratio broadcast. Players looked blurry on my 55" HD-TV. I'm not asking for HD-DVD or Blu-Ray version of the games, but I figure at the very least they could have used the HDTV broadcast footage to create a higher quality DVD and possibly even a 16:9 presentation for the growing number of people with HDTVs.
2) The editing left much to be desired. I would think that people ordering this set would be football purists who want to see the games as they were broadcast, but at times the editors go to a 'compressed game' style, editing out huddles, replays, etc. To their credit, they USUALLY do this reasonably well. For instance, if a team goes three and out on a relatively meaningless drive in the middle of the second quarter the time between plays magically disappears, while late in the game every second--even full time outs--is aired as is. HOWEVER, there were some very key plays in the New England game, specifically Marvin Harrison's fantastic 2 point conversion catch and Reggie Wayne's late-game, almost-fumble that DID NOT EVEN GET REPLAYED ON THE DISC! Additionally, there are times in the presentation when the commentators are cut off mid-sentence to edit out a huddle or a replay. I understand that the NFL does not want to rebroadcast Jim Nance doing an on-air commercial for Rules of Engagement or telling us that the third quarter was brought to us by Sprint, but there's got to be a seamless way to show the full game.
I give it 3 stars because it does allow me to remember and re-live these magical four games. It got those 3 stars before the DVDs even arrived on my doorstep. It failed to earn any additional stars though because of the editing and the decision to use the standard definition feed to broadcast the games.

 My Husband Loved it!Oct 30, 2007

"Colts Fan"
I bought this for my husband for his birthday and he loved it. He couldn't wait to relive the playoffs. He immediately watched the Colts - New England game. The DVD's are great because it is just the game. No commercials! We rewatched an entire game in under 2 hours!
A keepsake for any Colts fan!!!

Great for Colts FansSep 26, 2007
By D. Fawbush
"B. Fawbush"
These games are great in that there are (obviously) no commercials. Very well done and the Patriots game alone (probably the REAL Superbowl, sorry Bears fans) was almost worth the price in itself. As a Manning fan even when he played for the University of Tennessee, it is great to see him finally get the monkey off his back and a ring on his finger.

Couldn't be any less than perfectMay 16, 2008
By Chad A. Davis
"Naptown"
Love every minute of it. The whole thing is glorious and don't listen to the few that doubt this. I wouldn't listen to someone that's cracking on the picture quality because its not "fool" screen, first of all, learn how to spell and maybe stop concentrating on the resolution and take 2nd grade over again, because that just proves to be too critical, as well as for the other person doubting it because the "COATS" DVD picture isn't perfect. I don't trust anyone who is a die hard fan for a team and can't even spell let alone pronounce the team right. Nothing will be perfect with any product and not everyone will have the same luck, so just accept it the way it is and you'll enjoy every minute of this as you rewatch their sweet victory.
