Every team that ever beat you.

So no one. Great. Now I know that your opinion is worth shit.

No sign of #colts CB Vontae Davis or Aubrayo Franklin

Bjoern Werner not practicing. Brace on left ankle

Let's not overreact, but #colts healthy CBs today are Cassius Vaughn, Josh Gordy, Sheldon Price.

Normally I'd say "let everyone be healthy, no excuses"

But with out playoff problems, **** it. Let me all burn

Giant Boner for that guy- such a badass!
Talk about a consummate professional and team 1st leader!

ROFL

why are there no tickets available when I checked ticket-scheister yesterday at around 6 in the pm?

I'm so tired of inflated ticket prices- Colts announced playoff tickets would go on sale Monday morning at 10am, and yet on Sunday night stubhub had over 10000 tickets already on sale- how the hell does that happen with out essentially kicking back $$$ to get a huge allotment ahead of time in exchange the tickets go for well over "face value" and essentially boosting the actual ticket prices as the venues in question certainly get some additional $$$ for turning it over to the ticket brokers.

For example, before tickets went on sale to the General public for the Champions Classic up here in Chicago, brokers essentially had all but a few thousand of the available. Face value for the tickets started at $37 and the most expensive ticket was $145.
Brokers were selling the the cheapest $37 ticket for $250-400, lower level $145 were jacked up to $4000 to $10000, and the most expensive were 2 I saw 1st row floor (still only $145 face value) a pair, 2 tickets, for $39,995.

That's absurdity!

Point shaver! With all those kids he's obviously got to supplement his income by being on the take from Vegas, while betting large on the spread!

Can our kicker do better than a guy on a message board? That's a great rule of thumb in judging a kicker.

That's actually the number 1 rule of message boards, and sports talk in general. If you haven't played a pro sport, you can't comment on their play. I mean the real point of a message board is to see what cool avatar's we could all pick out.

What a stupid argument, and it's always pulled out now and then by some butt-hurt homer. Of course it's only a one-sided argument. We aren't in position to criticize since we haven't played but of course we are in position to compliment even though we haven't played.

The play should have been a penalty, but he should have made the kick. I don't hate Succop but he has missed big ones before and even though the game didn't count you could tell that kick didn't result in an "oh well" reaction from Ryan. It's reasonable to be concerned about past kicks and that one in general being in his head. I also can't blame people for thinking immediately of all the issues the Chiefs have had with kickers against the Colts in the playoffs.

All that energy! All that passion! Looks like a Ray Lewis huddle.

Heard Hali didn't practice today. Where is the freak out on this board so that I may join?

Reid has already talked about it. Hali has swelling in his knee and it's getting better.


imo there is no reason to risk irritating the knew with practice a veteran like Hali doesn't really need.

Yikes.

I'm a Colts fan and I've never seen Price play in a meaningful game.

Vaughn and Gordy are white and wheat toast.

I hope Toler and Davis play Sunday or we may be in trouble. :shake:

Vontae being out, or even hampered, would be a real blessing.

Bastard, you made me watch it. :clap:

It all depends on Reid.

Wait, is butler out?

I'm sure Bob Sanders will show up at the last minute to stuff JC.

Here it is, mark it down in the books...

Kansas City 27 - Indianapolis 23

Seeing JC's statement has given me a stiffy you could chop steak bones on.

:arrow:

I was concerned about Hali at first but you'd have to amputate his leg for him to miss this game.

@Don59Wayne: If somebody else call and ask me if I'm going out tonight KNOWING we gotta playoff game sat, Ima snap on em!

Dude would play with a severed jugular vein spurtting blood everywhere- which isn't as improbable as it sounds since every guy that blocks him hooks him around the neck constantly!

Dude or chick, (whatever it is) is about to blow a load. ROFL

I already know that I cant.

If Fisher isn't 100% he shouldn't start IMO.

Putting this here, for possible future use, should we have another goat cost us a playoff win.

NSFW

I'm kind of interested to see how the line performs with Albert and Stephenson at the tackle spots- since Donald has been playing much better.

Maybe not the best time to change it up in your 1st playoff game, and the only other time those 2 started for us this season, Stephenson was terrible- #6 worst player grade for that week of games out of every player at every position in the league.

I don't expect it to be a repeat of poor play- and it might end up being a + for the line as Fish has been up and down even though he has improved too. You'd still prefer to have him available for the game should we need a backup for some reason.

Who am I kidding?

The Colts is a good team. Well coached. Future HoF QB. Playing at home. They have beaten playoff teams. We will lose.

Next year maybe.

**** off cowards

We will burn like the heathen kings of old.

Why does Clay hate the Chiefs. He makes it seem difficult to be a fan.

And nothing will make you HAPPIER.

This place is a joke now. Chock full of cowards, trolls, and catered more to donkey sympathizers

As of now, no. Pretty much everyone practiced yesterday except Franklin and Moala.

Even "Glass" Greg Toler practiced. :eek:

He had been fun to watch. The job he did on Welker was outstanding.

Nods.

Yeah, he did a whale of a job on Welker. He's normally to much of a gambler for me though. He goes for the highlight to much instead of just making the routine play.

Plus, there's the issue of his health. The dude is made of glass. That alone made him unworthy of the contract we gave him, IMO.

The team abused him and he dont know how to let out emotionally. lol He's a broken fan. Its easier for him to be mad and negative about the team that way he doesnt get disappointed when the team loses. He can just say, see i told you. He cracked after he fell in love with Damon Huard. Huard broke him. lol

He's playing the percentages.

I haven't read through this thread, so I won't be surprised if what I'm about to say is a huge Q. But I don't care.

This team that is playing on Saturday is the team that was 9-1 with a **** ton of sacks, and a top 3 defense. It's also the same team who's offense has exploded with a QB who is coming into his own in the WCO. We're healthy. This isn't the team that went 2-5 down the stretch, banged up, shuffling players here and there, and with NO Justin Houston. At times NO Tamba Hali. And with NO Branden Albert.

They're hungry. They're pissed. And they're out to prove people wrong about them. This is the year we make a run. Be happy the ****ing Chargers made the playoffs. Be happy we got shafted at the end of that game TWICE to lose that allowed them in.

Why? Because the Chargers are another team that can make some noise. I'm not sure that we can beat Denver again. If we can, we'll need to get some momentum built up, and I don't want to play them until the AFC Championship if possible.

The Bengals are a great home team, so I don't know that the Chargers can win that game. I mean the Bengals are night and day different home and away. If the Bengals win, they'll lay right the **** down in NE. We wouldn't. So be Chargers fans on Sunday. Let them go to Denver.

That's all conjecture, because we haven't won a playoff game in 20 years.

I'm calling my shot. We're winning this game. And I don't think it's going to be close in the last 5 minutes of the game. I think we'll have a 2 + possession lead. I truly think we're going to make some noise in the playoffs this year, and I think we're the sleeper Super Bowl pick in the AFC.

I agree that if the Chargers win than we can reach the AFC championship game in Denver. That's where I stop my enthusiasm.

If we have the defense that started the season, there isn't a game out there we can't win. But my enthusiasm certainly isn't as high once we get to that point.

I feel the same way.

Shaking the monkey on Sat.

As a fan, how can you not be thrilled. After last years abortion the Chiefs are in a playoff game. Who could have imagined? Not only that but I like our chances with a rested team and Houston back. I have not been this excited for a football game in a very long time.

We have the early game, but still late enough to devote the whole damn day to this game.

Eric Fisher is ranked 70th out of 76 qualifying OT's in the NFL by PFF. That is all........

Woot!!!

Was the early season defense a mirage though?

Revenge tour 2014. Beat the new golden boy, pile high frauds, then we smite the Patriot Way once and for all, and finish with the Niner trolls for the title.

Denver season low in points at the time. Eggo 3 pts. half one 38 after injuries. ....you tell me?

Hmmmm...

12 ppg vs 30+ ppg.

You tell me?

Dumbass. I pretty much all but said Houston s loss was that big.

Justin Houston isn't going to stop Manning from breaking one off in the Chiefs ass.

No but that and the playoff stage will

If we are going by playoff history, like I said before... Justin Houston isn't going to stop Manning.

10 one and dones

Good. I'd rather see them role out a bunch of injured dudes than have the guts to play their backups.

I like the positive vibes. But this is the Chiefs, so I'm really expecting a first round exit.

However, my hope is that Reid will put us over the top given that he has had playoff success before.

I think we're going to win this game, and I believe that Mr. Flopnuts post was spot on.

This team is hungry for a playoff win. Berry, Flowers, DJ, Bowe, Albert and Charles have been here for years. They lived through the bad times and they want this shit.
Do not think that for one second these guys didn't think about 2010 vs the Ravens, or last year.

Alex Smith is hungry as well. He wants to prove that he can lead a team far.

I fully expect our defense to look the way at did for most of the the game vs the Ravens. They were hungry and played fantastic football. They are going to want to prove themselves. I fully expect Luck to be pressured in the pocket consistently.
I fully expect the offense to play with urgency throughout the entire game much like they did in the first half of both Denver games.

And I also expect Charles to run hard and with authority that we don't usually see. He wants this so bad and I don't blame him.

Indy knows we're not going to be the same team as last time. We aren't turning the ball over a handful of times.

2 days to go and plenty of tickets available. There should be plenty of red mixed in with this wine and cheese crowd.

Approximately 4,500 tickets remain available for this Saturday’s Chiefs at Colts Wild Card Playoff game (kickoff 4:35 p.m.). Prices vary from $56 to $155 (non-club).

I absolutely agree with this.

Probably been mentioned somewhere but I just realized this is the first dome game we will play this year.

I think the turf should help our pass rush. Of course it will help Baltimore's too but I think we have more guys that will benefit.

The Chiefs will be 1 and done like always

It is. There is little reason to become emotionally invested in this team.

This whole year can be summed up in the following sentence:

"Oh, the Chiefs won? That's nice honey."

hmmmm.

Suggs is going to do some damage from his couch.

:p

Heh, flashback to the old Colts I guess!

Todd Heap with another catch over the middle.

Walt Anderson to ref the Chiefs game (Link: http://www.footballzebras.com/2014/01/01/9805/)

Somehow Jeff Triplette got a playoff assignment… he is doing the Chargers-Bengals game.

http://steeleraddicts.com/blog/wp-co...11/02/walt.jpg

Definitely a tad of a homer hangover... I think it will be a much closer game.

Hali's knee is more of a problem than what the team is saying & I don't like the fact that Houston hasn't played in a game since he went down. And, we're in their dome.

This is going to come down to coaching --both teams are complimentary. I want to see what Reid has planned and how our coaches make adjustments at halftime.

Well, that's just like your opinion man

I'm so ****ing happy I have Clay on ignore now.

Dude is absolutely worthless.

Last playoff game at Indy, we got out-gained 437 to 126 yards. Horrifying. Thank god we have a real coach this time.

It's really not.

It's hard for incredibly miserable people who think that if you're not winning a Super Bowl with a set group of players you like, then the season is a complete waste.

It's generally the ones that talk out both sides 99% of the time, too.

I think the turf really helps Jamaal.

This season has been invaluable for me. My son is starting to watch football and the fact that the Chiefs were relevant and winning made him far more interested.
