Colts vs Steelers

[robot monster]

Who do you think will win tonight?

I think it will be the Colts. The Steelers without Ben at 100% are pretenders. I think the Colts have got too much for them.

[the Talking Can]

will "not my crack pipe" Irvin be on ESPN tonight, I saw Salsbury(?) on with the crew earlier....I'd like to see an on on-air apology for getting caught with a crack pipe...

[robot monster]

Hey he's just trying to keep his nose clean.

[Dunit35]

Go Colts

[robot monster]

Michael Escobar, I mean Irvin, is indeed in studio.

[robot monster]

Irvin is having a confessional with Stuart Scott right now.

"The pipe wasn't mine! It was my friend's! I have been trying to help him get help!"

Anybody else smell that?

[the Talking Can]

lame...he said he "patted down" a friend as he came in for Thanksgiving and then put the pipe in his car because he was afraid of people going through his trash (does he put his bank statements in his car too?)...now he's on national TV being asked by some cross-eyed dude about a "crack pipe".....

[the Talking Can]

and 10 secs after tearing up about his crack pipe he's yucking it up about the Giants FG kicker....yeah, THAT guy screwed up....man...

[DTLB58]

First it was "I forgot" the pipe was under my seat. Yea, I bet his wife didn't know it was there either. Who was with him when he was pulled over.

And then I thought I paid that speeding ticket, again "I forgot"!

I tell my kids "I forgot" is not an excuse!

He is a freaking adult and he "forgets" a crack pipe is under his seat and He forgets to pay a speeding ticket? :shake: He didn't forget to get on the plane and go to work yesterday.

When I heard ESPN had hired him I e-mailed them and told them how stupid they were for hiring this idiot. I bet they are regretting that decsion now.

They don't care, most of the people who work for the station are morons. Chris Berman makes up stupid nicknames and doesn't add anything. Tom Jackson just sits there and tells Berman he's right while not adding much else. Steve Young is well, the most boring man on the planet. If he speaks for more than a minute I almost fall asleep.

[funk monkey]

I would hope the steelers...ever since the colts beat us the year we went 9-0 and won the divison..ive loathed them. even though i really want the steelers to win, the colts will probably take it home

[Mecca]

It's better for the Chiefs if the Colts win.........

:clap:

Exactly.
ESPIN should dump this guy. It amazes me, with how conscious they are of their image, that he hasn't been canned. But Noooooooo. They bought that story?

---->

[chiefs4me]

I loved that freaky looking steelers fan....ROFL


And GO Steelers......:D

[Rain Man]

Hey, if Michael Irvin says that the crack pipe in his car wasn't his, we should believe him. It's not like he's got a past reputation for this stuff.

[cdcox]

I guess since we don't have an OFFICIAL thread, we might as well slum here.

Colts will take the lead here and never relinquish it

[Coach]

And just like that, a TD for the Colts.

[cdcox]

Heh.

[JBucc]

Whoa...

[tk13]

Holy crap. Nice D. Pittsburgh can't afford to fall behind too much... brutal start.

[the Talking Can]

holy crapoli.....Colts first play, 80 yard TD to Harrison

[chiefsfan987]

good start for the colts. sweet!

[Deberg_1990]

Nobody better ever complain about Warfield again...that was horrible coverage.

[Dunit35]

1 play and thats it...hahahaha...80 yards. Good D...

[JBucc]

We need to get us one o dem #1 reciever thingys

[digi2fish]

80 yards passing TD at the very first play
The Colts are monsters....

[Hammock Parties]

Note to Gunther's D...don't bite on the play fakes when we play Indy for the AFC Championship.

[Skip Towne]

Hey, if Michael Irvin says that the crack pipe in his car wasn't his, we should believe him. It's not like he's got a past reputation for this stuff.
I just went out and looked under my seat and I found one too. Hey, it can happen!

[JBucc]

This may be the Colts statement game that nobody can beat them.

[the Talking Can]

Nobody better ever complain about Warfield again...that was horrible coverage.

amen...he had 15 yards on that McBartee model CB...

[DaFace]

Holy flyin horses, batman, what the hell happened? I walked away for 2 minutes, come back, and the Colts are up 7-0!

[robot monster]

Steelers are going to get violated in this game.

Other than the Donkeys and Raiders I don't think there's a team I hate more than the Steelers so I'll be loving it.

[tk13]

:shake:

If Pittsburgh gets in a bunch of 3rd and longs like this they are gonna get destroyed...

[Mile High Mania]

I'm pretty certain that Indy is pretty good. Good gawd... if they don't win the SuperBowl, I'll be shocked.

[ChiefsCountry]

It would be so sweet going into the RCA Dome in the Playoffs and knock them out of the playoffs. Payback.

[JBucc]

They just tore the Steelers O-line a new one

[Coach]

And for a moment there, I thought Pittsburgh actually got Dexter McPasson, until I realized that it wasn't him.

Dammit Carl! :cuss:

[Deberg_1990]

The only way to beat the Colts this year is to pull a Bill Parcells 1990 Super Bowl. Pound away with a great running game and control the clock for about 44 minutes. Keep Manning off the field as much as possible. When they do have the ball, pound the WR's and make them pay after they make the catch.

[cdcox]

I'm pretty certain that Indy is pretty good. Good gawd... if they don't win the SuperBowl, I'll be shocked.

If there is a way to blow it, Dungy will find it. The Dungy/Manning choke factor is the only question in my book.

[Coach]

I'm pretty certain that Indy is pretty good. Good gawd... if they don't win the SuperBowl, I'll be shocked.

Oh man, how funny it would be if the Colts actually went undefeated, but lose their first ever game in the playoffs.

ROFL

Or do what the Chiefs did to them last season.

[robot monster]

All those people saying Manning can't win a big game are going to look even stupider after this year than they already do

[Deberg_1990]

If there is a way to blow it, Dungy will find it. The Dungy/Manning choke factor is the only question in my book.

Exactly my thoughts..

[Deberg_1990]

Or do what the Chiefs did to them last season.

I think Larry Johnson would pound their defense into submission. Oh Lord how i want the Chiefs to go into Indy and knock them off in January. My blood still burns after 95 and 2003.

[cdcox]

Exactly my thoughts..

Yeh, but I have a feeling this team is so good that even Dungy won't be able to screw it up.

[PastorMikH]

I can't believe it is 6 minutes in the game and the Colts are about to score a second time on Pittsburg.

[Deberg_1990]

Yeh, but I have a feeling this team is so good that even Dungy won't be able to screw it up.

How many times have people said that about Marty?? hahah...

[tk13]

Or do what the Chiefs did to them last season.
Yeah pretty much. I've even seen a couple comments along that line on the Colts board... that the team some of their fans are afraid to play are the Chiefs because we won't go in a shell in the playoffs and we can play shootout.

[cdcox]

How many times have people said that about Marty?? hahah...

Marty has never had a team remotely this good.

[JBucc]

Yeh, but I have a feeling this team is so good that even Dungy won't be able to screw it up.Dungy doesn't have to do anything. Peyton calls the plays, they get a huge lead, so on D all they have to D is unleash the D-line and wait for the opposing QB to make a mistake or get sacked.

[robot monster]

With a guy like Steve Bonor running the offense we weren't going to win the super bowl. The 2003 defense didn't deserve to win a playoff game. The Colts were just lucky those two years to draw a team someone was going to bounce from the playoffs.

[Bugeater]

Crap, this game's going to be over before I get the dip on the table.

[ChiefsCountry]

You know tonight there are two former Chiefs assitants coaching tonight, forgot about that until the Marty comments in this thread.

[Deberg_1990]

Marty has never had a team remotely this good.

True, not on Offense at least. We definately had some Super Bowl Caliber defenses though. DAMNIT CARL!!!

[Skip Towne]

Wow! The Colts are going all Rich Scanlon on the Thieves.

[Calcountry]

Holy flyin horses, batman, what the hell happened? I walked away for 2 minutes, come back, and the Colts are up 7-0!Don't look now Robin....

[Frazod]

Manning is such a bitch. I'd really like to see him get twisted into a pretzel tonight. :grr:

[ChiefsCountry]

Yeah pretty much. I've even seen a couple comments along that line on the Colts board... that the team some of their fans are afraid to play are the Chiefs because we won't go in a shell in the playoffs and we can play shootout.

That is one thing we can do if the offense is on.

[the Talking Can]

those poor Steeler CBs have no prayer...unless Harrison gets more penalties for his girl slaps...

[Calcountry]

Crap, this game's going to be over before I get the dip on the table.ROFL This reminds me of that movie, I can't remember what it was called.

The old guy goes, "are you SURE you know how to skin Grizz?"
younger grizzly adams guy goes, "just as fast as you can catch em".

old guy goes off laughing, comes back in five minutes laughing his ass off, runs through the door, 2 grizz chasing right behind him, he jumps through the other side of the place window laughing.

That is how fast they are scoring? I am not in front of a TV?

[the Talking Can]

I'd like to see the Colts O against the Bears D...particularly their DL...the only way to stop Manning is to get pressure on him, then he cries for his momma

[Deberg_1990]

those poor Steeler CBs have no prayer...unless Harrison gets more penalties for his girl slaps...

Ya know if you think about it, Warfield and Surtain stack up pretty damn well against any other pair of CB's in the AFC. If you add in the way Sapp and Washington have played as well, we have come a long long way in a short time.

[Bugeater]

The first TD came that fast, 3-out by Pit, Colts march right down the field again but the drive stalls and resulted in a FG.

[ChiefsCountry]

Ya know if you think about it, Warfield and Surtain stack up pretty damn well against any other pair of CB's in the AFC. If you add in the way Sapp and Washington have played as well, we have come a long long way in a short time.

Some of us said that back in April when we got Surtain, also with Barber back we have one of the best LB crews in the AFC as well.

[Coach]

Holy cow. Freeny just completely destroyed that LT.

[ChiefsCountry]

Freeney just raped Big Ben.

[Coach]

Wow, and they called offsides on that?

[tk13]

Why are they in the shotgun on 3rd and 2? No freaking way that's gonna work. I'd take my chances running over letting that D-line tee off on my QB....

[Mecca]

The Steelers line is being abused.

[Deberg_1990]

Why are they in the shotgun on 3rd and 2? No freaking way that's gonna work. I'd take my chances running over letting that D-line tee off on my QB....

Exactly..even if they dont make it, they at least run more time off the clock. Like i said earlier, play Bill Parcells style!

[the Talking Can]

sooner or later a QB has to make plays...coddling Rothliswhatever will ultimately fail the Steelers...true disciples of Marty....

[the Talking Can]

Ya know if you think about it, Warfield and Surtain stack up pretty damn well against any other pair of CB's in the AFC. If you add in the way Sapp and Washington have played as well, we have come a long long way in a short time.

I was thinking the same thing..our problem is getting pressure from the DL, but our CBs are light years ahead of the Steelers.

Right now the Steelers look impotent on both sides of the ball.

[Coach]

Intercepted!!!

[cdcox]

Manning [cough].

[siberian khatru]

Go ahead and put the dip on the table.

[the Talking Can]

of course I just jinxed the Colts...damn

[Deberg_1990]

Polomolyuna!!!

[ChiefsCountry]

Interceped by the guy we could have drafted instead we traded down and got LJ. One of Carl's good draft moves.

[JBucc]

Manning y ou dipshit

[Deberg_1990]

Damn, Bettis looks like he weighs 400 pounds these days.

[Skip Towne]

That guy with all the hair is pretty good.

[chiefsfan987]

moving backwards. Nice :)

Damn, Bettis looks like he weighs 400 pounds these days.
Teh camera does add ten pounds...

I'll take LJ over Polamalu all day long.

[JBucc]

BOOOO!!$%#*^&^%*#&^@&!35424364*&^%*&^%$#(*@@1

[teedubya]

Yeah!! TD Stee.... oh yeah. nm.

[the Talking Can]

nice pass by Rothlifdsfefelf-urger...Steelers rebound

[Deberg_1990]

Interceped by the guy we could have drafted instead we traded down and got LJ. One of Carl's good draft moves.

Yea, we should have stuck with Mike (1.3 yards and a cloud of dust) Cloud.

[cdcox]

Active officiating crew tonight.

[jspchief]

Stupid bush league move by Manning

[JBucc]

I hope one of the Colts trainers knows how to do the heimlich

[the Talking Can]

ha-ha

Manning out smarted himself

smart guy

[Crush]

Steelers are in business.

[chiefsfan987]

Stupid bush league move by Manning


thats the second one he's already tried to pull and its only the second quarter. He's been successfull on neither :)

[Frazod]

Nice to see St. Manning's bitch tactics blow up in his face. 4321

[jspchief]

Pittsburgh acts like they've never played in a loud stadium

[Crush]

Nice throw by Ben.

[chiefsfan987]

HAHAHAHAHA thats great!

[ChiefsCountry]

I'll take LJ over Polamalu all day long.

I agree, that is why I said it was a good move by Carl.

[jspchief]

Sanders is a stud. Go Hawkeyes

[Crush]

The Steelers offense is dripping with Marty Ball.

[ChiefsCountry]

The Steelers offense is dripping with Marty Ball.

Well you know Cower was an assitant under Marty.

[Skip Towne]

I agree, that is why I said it was a good move by Carl.
:thumb:

[Frazod]

About to be a tie game.

Then again, maybe not. :banghead:

[Crush]

Good job Steelers for blowing it.

[the Talking Can]

Steelers miss FG

good game, all the WR/CB cat fights remind me of Irvin and Sanders pulling each others ponytails during a game...

[Coach]

So much for the tie game.

[Sybil]

Good game. Go Colts.

[kcxiv]

So most of you folks going for the Steelers?

[Crush]

Well you know Cower was an assitant under Marty.


I know. It is good to see Cowher running Marty's patented "run, run, short pass" offense to ineffective perfection.

[tk13]

So most of you folks going for the Steelers?
I wouldn't say that. A Pittsburgh loss would put us in a tie for the last wildcard spot. However, I can't say I'd be heartbroken if the Colts lost...

[Crush]

Good job, Steelers defense.

[Frazod]

So most of you folks going for the Steelers?

I know it serves our interests if the Stellas lose (even though our chances at making the playoffs are slim at best). They probably will lose. But I hate the Colts and really hate that spastic asshat Manning. I wouldn't mind seeing Pittsburgh hand them a great big shit sandwich to eat on national TV. Or break Manning in half.

But they won't.

Probably.

[the Talking Can]

Manning's gay elf magic isn't working right now.

[Crush]

How would a Colts-Steelers tie work out for us?


Scratch that, Steelers need to lose.

[Sybil]

So most of you folks going for the Steelers?

Nope. Steelers loss helps the Chiefs in the wildcard chase. I'd like to see the Colts lose to us in the playoffs though.

[the Talking Can]

So most of you folks going for the Steelers?

no, we need the Steelers to lose...but it's ok if the Colts suck along the way...

[Frazod]

Manning's gay elf magic isn't working right now.

ROFL

Boy, that really sums it up. Excellent!

[JBucc]

So most of you folks going for the Steelers?It would help us if Pittsburgh lost, but maybe on the last play of the game they could give Manning a severe concussion.

[Crush]

Is it too sadistic to wish for Manning to suffer a career-ending injury?

[the Talking Can]

brutal hit by Sanders...that could of snapped a leg...

[kcxiv]

i hate the colts as well, but i want them to win. If Chiefs didnt need this win by the Colts, i would be all for Steelers crushing em.

[tk13]

brutal hit by Sanders...that could of snapped a leg...
I agree with Madden... watching them over the last couple years Bob Sanders makes a huge difference. He will knock you out.

[Crush]

Shitty throw by Manning.

[the Talking Can]

just a little bit of pressure gets to Manning...he's very fussy....

[Sybil]

Is it too sadistic to wish for Manning to suffer a career-ending injury?

In a word, yes. But so what? I have dreams about Jake Plummer suffering the mother of all concussions, after Jerod is done with him this weekend.

[ChiefsCountry]

3 points for the Colts.

[Frazod]

Sweet. Manning has that pre-2005-New-England look in his eyes. :D

[the Talking Can]

Sweet. Manning has that pre-2005-New-England look in his eyes. :D

I'd love to see one good hit on him.

[Amnorix]

Sweet. Manning has that pre-2005-New-England look in his eyes. :D

I think the Colts are marginally better than what they were in '03 and '04.
IMHO a team like the '03-'04 Pats or '03 Panthers or '04 Steelers would beat 'em. Gotta out-tough 'em and be able to play a good solid all around game.

They aren't unbeatable.

[Frazod]

I'd love to see one good hit on him.

I'd love to see SEVERAL good hits on him. :grr:

[Black Jack Savage]

Is it too sadistic to wish for Manning to suffer a career-ending injury?

I wouldn't mind seeing Polamalu hit him on a weak-side blitz and make a wishbone out of his leg, LT on Joe Thiesmann style.

[Skip Towne]

i hate the colts as well, but i want them to win. If Chiefs didnt need this win by the Colts, i would be all for Steelers crushing em.
How does a Colt win help us?

[tk13]

I agree with that. Problem is there just aren't as many good defenses...

[jspchief]

Marvin Harrison on returns? F*ck that.

[ChiefsCountry]

How does a Colt win help us?

It ties them with us and San Diego in the wildcard race.

[tk13]

How does a Colt win help us?
It puts us into a 3 way tie with the Chargers and Steelers for a wild card spot.

[Crush]

Good job Porter.

[Frazod]

How does a Colt win help us?

Assuming we don't go in the toilet for the rest of the season, the Stellas have a tough schedule and are prime candidates to choke out of contention. We need bad things to happen to them, Jacksonville and/or the Dolts.

[Black Jack Savage]

How does a Colt win help us?

Well, the patently obvious reply is that it gives the Steelers 4 losses, which is almost as good as the Bengals losing. That way it's easier for us to move up from the 8 spot should Pitt stumble any more.

[cdcox]

Assuming we don't go in the toilet for the rest of the season, the Stellas have a tough schedule and are prime candidates to choke out of contention. We need bad things to happen to them, Jacksonville and/or the Dolts.

Don't forget about the 'gals.

[Crush]

I would say Jacksonville is done. They can barely beat teams, good or bad, with Leftwich. I say Jacksonville chokes, despite the easy schedule.

[Frazod]

Don't forget about the 'gals.

I'm assuming the Bungals will win their division.

[tk13]

ROFL Nice job causing your team to have delay of game Manning...

[Crush]

Bengals choke as well. Something about that "can't stop the run for the love of all that is holy" defense.

[Frazod]

The Gay Elf gets a delay of game penalty! ROFL

[Black Jack Savage]

I actually think that Jax might be a better team w/ Garrard at the helm that Leftwich, he can move the chains with his feet and he's not all that much worse of a passer than Leftwich.

[chiefsfan987]

A loss tonight for the Steelers would technically put them behind the Chiefs with a worse conference record if I'm not mistaken. #6 San Diego #7 KC #8 Pittsburg.

[Black Jack Savage]

I'm the mike

[tk13]

Don't forget about the 'gals.
Yeah, but if the Steelers lose tonight, we would now be in a position make the playoffs if we win out. Granted that is tough but it's an improvement over where we were before this week...

[Frazod]

PUNT, BITCH. nlm

ROFL

[the Talking Can]

does Manning's OL ever tell him to shut the **** up?

that gesture shit is recockulous...

We're already in that position because we play SD and Cincy.

[Coach]

If the Chiefs were to play the Colts, the Chiefs actually have a good shot at beating the Colts IMHO, considering that the Chiefs have quite a collection of screen plays and so on. :shrug:

[Black Jack Savage]

Rooting for the Colts to win is like rooting for your wife to f*ck the most annoying guy you've ever met.

[Frazod]

Yeah, but if the Steelers lose tonight, we would now be in a position make the playoffs if we win out.

Sounds good, but I think I have better change of getting my hair to start growing again than the Chiefs do to win out. We'll lose at least two, and that will be that.

That's why I'm not overly concerned about this game affecting us in any way whatsoever.

[Amnorix]

So my wife, who watches very little football overall, but can't help but hear about it and see some games just by the fact that she's hitched to me, sits down with me at the start of tonight's game, see's Manning face in the intro, and says "I can't stand that guy"

This from a woman who barely has a bad word to say about anybody, EVER. She then spends 2 minutes telling me about his annoying smug little face, his stupid chicken dance at the line of scrimmage, and how annoying he is.

I was floored.

ROFL ROFL ROFL

[Mecca]

It's also kinda funny to see how much Chiefs fans hate a team that's not in our division.

What are we, just mad they built their offensive heavy team better than we did?

[Black Jack Savage]

How can you throw a low block if you are the coverage unit?

[cdcox]

For the record, Steelers winning tonight drops our overall playoff odds from 25% to 20%. That's pretty signicant for a game we are not even playing in.

My girlfriend does that but only with Tom Brady. It's kinda funny to hear about how she thinks Brady is a smug asshole.........

[Amnorix]

It's funny to see all the people rooting against the Colts when well we need them to win.

Maybe I'm in a glass house here with the Pats, but there's something about Manning that makes it difficult to like him. Probably it's a combo of (1) the ridiculous arm waving and wandering around at the LOS, and (2) the pathetic whining look he gets on his mug when things don't go his way and he starts bitching to the refs.

I don't hate the Colts, but I just can't like the guy.

Now compare to Marino, whom I hated cuz he QB'ed a division rival, but really respected for what he could do on the field. I never thought of him as a punk-ass little whining bitch, like I do Manning.

[Frazod]

It's also kinda funny to see how much Chiefs fans hate a team that's not in our division.

What are we, just mad they built their offensive heavy team better than we did?

Apparently you weren't with us during the '95 and '03 seasons.

F#ck the Colts. 4321

[tk13]

We're already in that position because we play SD and Cincy.
You know, you're right. I guess what it does do is give us a lead in a head-to-head tiebreaker with the Steelers. That's the way I was thinking of it I guess.

[Amnorix]

My girlfriend does that but only with Tom Brady. It's kinda funny to hear about how she thinks Brady is a smug asshole.........

I'm figuring Brady has got a face/personality that is either love or hate for the gals. Obviously, this being Boston and all, I know alot of women who would throw over their boyfriends or husbands if Brady crooked his finger at 'em.

But, OTOH, I can see how someone could look at him and think he's too smug by half, or whatever, and dislike him.

I find it hard to see how anyone could say "boy, that Manning, he sure is a cool guy".

:shrug: mebbe it's just me.

[Mecca]

Apparently you weren't with us during the '95 and '03 seasons.

F#ck the Colts. 4321

I was 15 in 95 so I had some other things on my mind. I remember watching the game but my life wasn't hinged on it.

As far as 03 goes, yea it sucked. But I can't say I didn't expect it seeing with how our season finished out.

[beer bacon]

That low blocking penalty was absolutely ridiculous. There are so many idiotic rules in this game.

[the Talking Can]

that's exactly it...it's like every time he gets hit he thinks it is "unfair"...like he's above that...

[Amnorix]

You know, you're right. I guess what it does do is give us a lead in a head-to-head tiebreaker with the Steelers. That's the way I was thinking of it I guess.

Let's face it, ain't no way anybody is catching the Colts in the AFC South, so they're irrelevant.

The Steelers are a different story. It's better for the Chiefs if the Colts win. It's a "Colts win can't possibly be bad, but a Colts loss MIGHT be" kinda situation.

[Mecca]

He does that because he isn't used to getting hit so it pisses him off.

[Skip Towne]

Maybe I'm in a glass house here with the Pats, but there's something about Manning that makes it difficult to like him. Probably it's a combo of (1) the ridiculous arm waving and wandering around at the LOS, and (2) the pathetic whining look he gets on his mug when things don't go his way and he starts bitching to the refs.

I don't hate the Colts, but I just can't like the guy.

Now compare to Marino, whom I hated cuz he QB'ed a division rival, but really respected for what he could do on the field. I never thought of him as a punk-ass little whining bitch, like I do Manning.
It's his commercials that get me when he "cheers on" working people. I keep hoping Bubba turns around and hits him right between the eyes.

I get annoyed with any QB that spends 15 seconds every snap yelling out commands. Peyton's the worst of 'em.

I'd have to join the crew that would love to see him get the crap knocked out of him (in the fourth quarter after the Colts have the game locked up, since that's what benefits us the most).

[jspchief]

That low blocking penalty was absolutely ridiculous. There are so many idiotic rules in this game.That rule is unofficially called the "George Foster rule".

Yea, because having the Broncos vault into the front runner for the AFC superbowl team due to a Manning injury is just what I want.........

[Frazod]

That commercial annoys me, too. Mocking the fans isn't cool.

Well, if I have it right... the Steelers, Chargers, and Chiefs would be tied for the last wildcard. We'd be eliminated from a three way tie because SD beat us, and then the Steelers have the head-to-head win over SD and get the spot. However, we play SD, so we can control knocking them out. You take SD out of the equation and we have the tiebreaker over Pittsburgh and would get in ahead of them. That is with a Colts win tonight.

[Frazod]

You just touched on the ONLY thing the Colts do that I like - blast up Denver's ass like a freight train, regular as clockwork.

[Amnorix]

that's exactly it...it's like every time he gets hit he thinks it is "unfair"...like he's above that...

He has this look, which I have had the distinct pleasure of seeing the Patriots create over the last few years (though certainly not this year) where he has his arms outstretched, palms up, and a facial expression that looks like he's about to cry.

It is just about the most pathetic thing I've seen in all of sports. :shake:

Ah yeah, I can relate somewhat. The Chiefs pretty much did that for a half in 2004.

Bill Simmons calls it the Peyton Manning face, and it is classic. It's the same face Marino would make too.

[Crush]

It's also kinda funny to see how much Chiefs fans hate a team that's not in our division.

What are we, just mad they built their offensive heavy team better than we did?



Top 5 reasons to hate the Colts:

No s**t!!! I mean, I'm not exactly working in a steel mill or anything, but even I look at that commercial and think "uhhh...that's kind of insulting to the average worker -- WTF were they thinking when they made that?!?!

"Cut that meat!!" :spock: :shake:

Marvin Harrison? I didn't know anyone hated him.....

[Amnorix]

It's the "I want my mommy" pose.

EXACTLY!!! It's just incredibly to see.

I'd be interested in hearing, 5 years after he retires, if most of his teammates really liked him or not.

[Amnorix]

Bill Simmons calls it the Peyton Manning face, and it is classic. It's the same face Marino would make too.

Right with Simmons. I don't think Marino's was as bad. I wouldn't know -- the Patriots rarely induced that look from him. The '85 AFC Championship Game was sweet, but then immediately lost in the debacle that was playing the Monsters of the Midway.

[KcMizzou]

Marvin Harrison? I didn't know anyone hated him.....I don't. Harrison's the man.

[Mecca]

Bill Simmons calls it the Peyton Manning face, and it is classic. It's the same face Marino would make too.

When I read Bill Simmons columns, I make faces and gestures that are usually obscene and profane.

I really don't know how it is interesting to write from the Boston point of view for the national audience. He was funny at first but now he's become unbearable with his homerism. Not to mention he came off like a bitter baby after the Pats lost to the Colts, and he makes fun of Manning for being a baby..........

[chiefsfan987]

what the hell was that?

[Skip Towne]

EXACTLY!!! It's just incredibly to see.

I'd like to see Jerrod Allen put a couple of shots on him like he did Brady yesterday. Then we'd REALLY see a whiny little bitch.

[cdcox]

We're not desperate. No not desperate.

[Crush]

Marvin Harrison? I didn't know anyone hated him.....



Harrison's a jackass.

[Black Jack Savage]

That was a great idea and a terrible kick.

[Amnorix]

Marvin Harrison? I didn't know anyone hated him.....

Yeah, I don't dislike any other player on that team that I can think of off the top of my head. Harrison, Edge, Freeney, Glenn, etc. They all seem fine.

[greg63]

On side??

[Black Jack Savage]

Sam Ryan is really f*ckin' hot

[the Talking Can]

man that was dumb....

[Frazod]

Ouch. That was ballsy, but not very bright.

Cowher should leave the bitch tactics to Manning.

[Mecca]

Harrison's a jackass.

You really need to explain how a Hall of Fame WR who is never on TV running his mouth like most top WR's is a jackass........

[greg63]

Anyone catch Red Xtreme on the half time show?

[Black Jack Savage]

Perhaps he's a jackass because he doesn't run his mouth

[Amnorix]

On side??

Pats did the same thing against them this year.

It's basically an admission that you can't play "staight" and hope to win. In the Pats case, I liked the call. We were clearly outclassed on the field.

Not sure about in this case...

[greg63]

TD.

[Mecca]

The Steelers give the Colts a free TD.

[Crush]

I'll have the fans he strangled do that for me.

[Mecca]

Ah, so he's a jackass because a kid accused him of choking him? How do you even know that happened.........

[KcMizzou]

I'll have the fans he strangled do that for me.:hmmm:

Ya lost me

[Crush]

Plus, I have the feeling that he's a jackass. I've never met Manning, but I know that he's a jackass. There's just something about Harrison that makes me want to kick him in the nuts.

[jspchief]

Onside kick paid off in spades. Thanks, dumbass.

[the Talking Can]

Cowher blew that.

I wonder if he makes that chin face at himself when he screws up.

[Crush]

I really can't explain it.

[greg63]

In light of current events, I'd say the on side was ill conceived.

[Mecca]

:hmmm:

Ya lost me

During last years Pro Bowl some kid accused Harrison of choking him. It blew over pretty quickly.

[Frazod]

Nice return.

[tk13]

Actually I'd have to stick up for him a bit here... at least from what I've seen. I've been to Colts camp a couple times... and one time it was a night practice... and as the team was walking off the field after practice back to the locker room, all the fans were along the rail screaming and yelling as you would expect. Peyton was the only player on the entire team who actually came over and signed autographs for 10-15 minutes. The rest of the team just went in and ignored it.

[Rausch]

Being a step-fan of the Steelers I hate to see them lose to the Colts....

[Mecca]

The Steelers are really good at false starting.

[greg63]

This changes things.

[tk13]

Steelers keep shooting themselves in the foot.

[Mecca]

These officials are flag happy.

[greg63]

These officials are flag happy.
Yup! And, Manning just keeps picking the secondary apart.

[greg63]

Sackaroooo!

[Mile High Mania]

anyone know of a site where you can listen to this game over the Net?

[greg63]

It is obvious though that the Steelers "D" is not going to allow the Colts to run against them.

[greg63]

Nice Pass!

[Frazod]

Wow.

Going for it!

[greg63]

Bill goes projectile when he shouts.

[greg63]

Well, I think it's safe to say that this thread, like the game, is history.

[chiefsfan987]

They just said on the colts network that they haven't beaten the steelers in 21 years. That can't be right can it?

[chiefsfan987]

Someone from Hutchinson, KS just got on tv.

[kcxiv]

So 3 way tie for the last play off spot?

[cdcox]

So 3 way tie for the last play off spot?

In record yes, but then you have to go to a tiebreakers. The three teams are SD, Pitt, and KC. KC and SD are from the same division, so you have to break that tie first. Since SD has beat KC they would advance to a tiebreaker with Pittsburgh. Then in the SD/Pitt tiebreaker, Pitt beat SD so they win that tiebreaker. So the order for the 6th seed is:

Pitt
SD
KC

[tk13]

They just said on the colts network that they haven't beaten the steelers in 21 years. That can't be right can it?
Yeah that's right. The Steelers had won the last 9 times they'd played....

[jspchief]

Sanders is representing the Hawkeyes well.

[PastorMikH]

Man, the Colts made Pittsburg look like they were Houston and Pittsburg is one of the better teams in the NFL.
