Go Colts.

[clayj41]

Also Minnesota had a REALLY good offense a few years back maybe in 1998? When they went 15-1.

Yeah, Moss's rookie year. Good offense but not one of the greatest.

[Tak_a_Tak]

its so hard to say who is going to win with the colts/pats game. i am a pats fan but ill say that it depends completely on where they play and that is why i think the pats will win although peyton manning scares me. if it was in the dome id say the pats have no chance. but look for peyton to become uncomfortable with the pats d line and the weather . i say pats over colts by 7

I agree that there is no clear advantage in this game, and that the home team will have a slight egde. With that in mind, no matter how bad the weather is, both teams have to play in the same weather. Bad weather doesn't really bother Manning that much, look what he did to the Jets (last year I think) where we put up 41 points in really bad weather. Also, don't forget about the Colts' o line. They're pretty darn good. :)

[fxblitz]

The Broncos did not deserve to win, trying to cover Wayne with a rookie consistantly has to be one of the worst coaching decisions I have seen.

[shoegal_97]

i'm really hoping they can beat new england and then whoever might be next so they can prove everyone wrong and make it to the superbowl, this is their year

[UNC41]

I think so, but its hard to say. Some people will still consider the Rams team from 99-02 and of course, Marino's Dolphins.

To be one of the best offenses ever you would need a good running back and the Dolphins never had that wiht Marino.

[KJ.]

I hope peyton gets slapped like the little bitch that he is.

[JonTheRvelator]

I hope peyton gets slapped like the little bitch that he is.

49 TDs have something to say about that.

[theTabasco®Kid]

The Broncos did not deserve to win, trying to cover Wayne with a rookie consistantly has to be one of the worst coaching decisions I have seen.

What choice did they have?

They had season-ending injuries to 3 cornerbacks ahead of Alexander on the depth-chart (Lenny Walls, Willie Middlebrooks and Jeremy LaSueur)... All occurring within the last 5 weeks of the regular season.

In addition, they had injuries to 3 Defensive linemen, Trevor Pryce, Luther Ellis and Dorsett Davis... thus no viable pass rush.

[DMBfan41]

47-1 Manning for MVP.

I wanna hear what that guy has to say, he's gonna be on ESPNews.

[shoegal_97]

so what'd he say? i missed it

[watchtower41]

He said Vanderjerk is an idiot drunken kicker..... which he is. Who goes and gives the Super Bowl Champs bulletin board material like that "Ripe for the picking" coming from a friggin kicker..... cant be serious.


why do I suddenly get the feeling the game will be on the line Sunday with a 49 FG by Vanderjerk to determine the Colts fate.

[shoegal_97]

well as long as its not ending with Vinatieri determining their fate of new england like it has the past two times

[clayj41]

He said Vanderjerk is an idiot drunken kicker..... which he is. Who goes and gives the Super Bowl Champs bulletin board material like that "Ripe for the picking" coming from a friggin kicker..... cant be serious.

That's true. A kicker has no reason to talk.

[Number27]

:thumbsup One of the greatest performances ever!
If they only played like that last week...or every single week. You know they can, too.

[clayj41]

If they only played like that last week...or every single week. You know they can, too.

Yeah, that definitely was a team game. The receivers were catching everything.

[shoegal_97]

wait, why is everyone doggin vanderjack, or however you spell it

[luke7]

Just about everyone on ESPN Radio and ESPN are picking the Colts to beat the Pats, which is why I think the Pats will win. They fail to mention the matchup between New England's offense and the Colts defense. Their only focusing on the Colts offense and NewEngland's defenses injuries. I think that's a big mistake.

My prediction, and I could be wrong, but I have a strong feeling about this, is that with all the talk about the Colts and Manning on offense, Brady will pick apart Indy and Dillon will run roughshot over Indy's defense. Pats win. I think.

[Tak_a_Tak]

That's true. A kicker has no reason to talk.

:thumbsup

Plus, you would think, of ALL people, he would know better by now. I can't believe after all the crap he got last time he ran his mouth off that he did it a second time.

What a dumb ass.

[clayj41]

He's a great kicker, but he needs to learn when to shut his mouth.

[shoegal_97]

wow, extremely heart broken. Those damn patriots and tom brady have GOT to be the colts nemesis. All I can say is there's always next year, just like i said last year :(

their still my team and peyton still kicks ass anyway !!

[dmbhoosier21]

So damn excited about the NFL season. Cant wait to watch the colts dominate all year then pray to god they actually pass those fuckin pats! Although the colts have a real chance against them this year (no matter how shitty the defense may be), two of their LBs are gone, one is out for the season and the other other retired. Muahahahahah its our year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dmbgodagirl41]

cough*willneverwinthesuperbowl*cough

Go. Tommy. Go.

[Minarets19]

Peyton will just never beat certain teams. he never beat Florida when at UT and he will never beat the Pats.

his only hope is that they can get homefield and play indoors in Jan. if its outdoors, you can kiss it goodbye. also, this maybe their last hope. looks like EJames is gone after this year. he wants out.

[dmbhoosier21]

cough*willneverwinthesuperbowl*cough

Go. Tommy. Go.

Cruel. All im saying is Bruschi and Ted Johnson are out......just wait

And yes getting the homefield adv. would help..........alot

BRUSCHI AND TED JOHNSON are OUT :bounce

Edge is one of the top RBs out there but if you there is a pos. in the NFL that can easily be replaced itd be in that dept.

And i'd rather have a great O'line than a great RB anyday. And i think the colts' O'line has been solid for a while

[dmbhoosier21]

AND both coordinators are gone.....although dont know how much of that really matters cus that coach of theirs is a fuckin defensive genius, i think i could play nose tackle for the pats and their def. would still be decent

and btw those two guys gone for the pats are their inside backers, thats huge, thats an anchor of a defense

so again, its our year

[Herrminator]

True...Bruschi is out, but Johnson as of late wasn't much of a player, he was more of a spiritual leader. An example of the Pat's vet squad. While Bruschi will be missed, Vrabel and Colvin will now have the chance to step up and show what they are made of. Colvin was an all star-esque LB when he was traded, injuries just hampered his success. And Vrabel is now just showing what he can do by rushing many O-Lines and getting to the QB.

I will have to admit, the Pat's Defense is overall looking shakey, not bad, but just shakey...esp against a Colt's Offense. However, I can never look the other way on this Patriot's coaching staff, they have shown all of us New England fans what it is like to be a champion. Colts will need homefield advantage for the playoffs and need one hell of a defensive stop against the Pats.

Oh and Branch for Pro Bowl in '06!!!

[dmbhoosier21]

Oh i was not saying the Pats D is weak AT ALL, still up there in the league, though i have no idea who their new inside backers are going to be, they have to put two new ones in their. Their linebackers are still up there with, like you said Vrabel and Colvin as outside backers.

Haha, their D' is still loaded

why is everyone making a big deal about johnson? the guy didnt do much of anything...he was always injured.

Face it. Peyton could throw 60000 TD passes in a season, but he will never, ever win a super bowl or beat the Pats during the playoffs. people compare him constantly to Dan Marino...and how many super bowls did HE win? Exactly.

Not to mention, when will people realize that on the Patriots, there are 40 superstars? No one loves themself so much, no one is more important than the next, no one is vital to the survival of the team (except maybe tommy, but you know...). Do people not understand that when one player/coach leaves, that just means a no-name will take the change to step it up and get things done. Not saying that they will win the SB again, but don't count them out.

But knowing that Colts fans HATE the Pats makes me laugh. CUT THAT MEAT! CUT THAT MEAT! CUT THAT MEAT! :D

Big Willie McGinest and Chad Brown are hopefulls for stepping up into the lime light. I feel Willie is definately deserving of this honor. Banta Cain may even have a shot if he starts to pick it up...

On the ass. coaching situation. On defense, it's not a big lose at all. Belichick is a defensive mastermind. The offense would be the only questionable coaching position.

[dmbhoosier21]

Not counting out the PATS at all

D' is still solid
they have experience
great vets
genius for a coach esp. on the defensive end

all im saying they are not quite a shoe in for the AFC

Not an idiot, i know colts are still an underdog esp. with them not upgrading their D but im a colts fan, i have to believe

[dmbgodagirl41]

:thumbsup to you, dmbhoosier. but what i never get is EVERY YEAR that its Colts/Pats AFC championship game, the media is always like "can the pats stop the Colts??"....so I never got that.

Hey, if the sox can win the world series, anything can happen. It just wont to the colts ;) hehehe

Haha, yeah i know, imagine our dissapointment the past few years. Every damn year it is the colts that are favored and the media just praises the shit out of them and they get my hopes up and really believe the colts will win it all, then of course the pats roll around for the playoffs

which by the end of the day im in bed crying in a fetal position saying i hate pats over and over and over.....

and sadly, haha, i truly believe its our year once again

[Tak_a_Tak]

I'm also looking for a big year from the Colts! I went over and watched some of the training camp this past weekend. I still have my ticket stub from last year when Payton broke the touchdown record. I had him and Stokley sign it for me!




Face it. Peyton could throw 60000 TD passes in a season, but he will never, ever win a super bowl or beat the Pats during the playoffs. people compare him constantly to Dan Marino...and how many super bowls did HE win? Exactly.


I think that's going a bit far. How long has Payton been in the league? The team has really just started to come togeter over the last few years and just now have become contenders. To say he'll NEVER win a super bowl or he'll NEVER beat this team or that team is just crazy. I also think it's crazy to say 'he had a problem doing this before the pros, he'll never be able to do in now!"

But, ya gotta love the game! I love the match up every year that's building between New England and the Colts.

[Tak_a_Tak]

As a side note...........a buddy of mine works in PR for the Colts. He went to both nights of dmb here in Indy with his girlfriend and Payton and his wife. So if nothing else, Payton has good taste in music. :D

Put Manning on the Pats and Brady on the Colts and Peyton has 3 Super Bowl rings to Buttchin Brady's 0. Similarily swap Marino and Montana in the 80's and Joe doesn't become the legend he did by playing with the 49ers. I love how so many Pats fans argue that they have built a dynasty on the premise that the who of the sum is better than its parts, but then say that Peyton alone is the reason the Colts haven't won the Super Bowl lately.

I agree, it's gonna be a hard season for both teams this year. And hopefully another Colts/Pats AFC title game showdown...and of course hoping for it to be hosted at the Razor.

[Herrminator]

On a side note...Tom Brady's favorite Dave Matthews Band song is "Two Step." In fact he requested it for his half time highlights music video for Monday Night Football in 2003. It was the Denver Broncos/New England Patriots game where Belichick called for a safety and then got the ball back and scored to win right before the end...ahhhh

[dmbgodagirl41]

The thing is, so many people make that "put peyton on the patriots and he has 3 super bowl rings and tom doesnt" argument; and its not necessarily true. the team is the team dynamic, and the pats may not get along with peyton at all, and it would be a totally different team. Im not saying peyton is the reason the colts havent won a SB; its the colts that haven't won it. I just put it on Peyton, because people (write or wrong) tend to put the ownership on the QB.

I even say that culpepper is gonna suck because moss is on oakland now, but that may or may not be true (i still think culpepper is the most overrated thing other than mcnabb, but that may just be me). That's why football is so great.

and by the way; BUTTCHINS ARE THE HOTTEST THING TO GRACE A MAN'S FACE SO :p TO YOU!!!

[UNC41]

They looked good tonight. After spotting the Rams 17 points at least.

[Jimp210]

I was wondering how long it would take for the Colts to start ripping the Rams defense apart... they're awful. One of the worst in the league.

If Bulger wouldn't have gone down, that would've been a phat shootout.

[SmoothD41]

Anyone going to beat them? Unless Dungy rests the starters later, I truly think they will win out the season. Not commenting on the playoffs yet.

I never said they would go undefeated. I don't think they'll be able to do it either. But, it's going to take a lot to stop them. Something they've not seen so far this year.

[bothedmbfan]

So, who is the best team?

I'm really liking Denver, even if they lost today. Uh Seattle is very good. the Chargers are good.

and the Colts get to play the two of them.

oh and you know I like Da Bears, I just don't know how Orton would hold up against the Colts.

I never said they would go undefeated. I don't think they'll be able to do it either. But, it's going to take a lot to stop them. Something they've not seen so far this year.

I could happen, but I would be very shocked if they lost more than one of those. They're just so tight right now, if a team trys to take something away, they've got two more options to come back with.

I'm just so sick of people saying the Colts are not that good because of the teams they've played. All these teams are in the NFL. Not one of them is so bad that they've lost all their games. The Colts are beating teams by more than 14 points on avg. They are the team to beat right now, and I can't see it any time soon.

oh and The Colts have neaten The Titans twice, Houston Twice, Cleveland, Batimore, San Fransisco, St Louis, New England(who despit being in first of tehir weak ass division, suck ass)

now The Colts are good, but havw had the easiest schedule ever. well not everm but ti's pretty damn easy up to this point.

I've never said the Colts didn't have an "easy" schedule. Just pointing out that Seattle's record could be just as easily inflated as the Colts. I like San Diego, but it's hard to say they're the best team because of their record (7-4). Possibly Denver, but they've now lost three.

San Diego should be 11-1 right now, alot of bad breaks at the end of games but I'll attempt to quote Pat Riely

[Tak_a_Tak]

Here we go again.


:rolleyes

[Tak_a_Tak]

My guess would be:

1) New England
2) the Steelers


Both of which were beat down pretty good.

[GOB_]

My guess would be:

1) New England
2) the Steelers


Both of which were beat down pretty good.

Yeah, I have an idea as to which teams but I wanted to hear her opinion. I'm tired of hearing how easy of a schedule team "x" has. This isn't college where teams get to pick their non-conference games.

[dmbgodagirl41]

Which two were worthy opponents?

yeah, like whoever said; Pitt and NE, but it's not like either of those teams are even that good. I'd probably throw in Cinci, cuz yeah, they're pretty good.

let's take a look at "x's" schedule, where "x" = the colts, shall we?
Tennessee (3-9)
Baltimore (4-8)
Jacksonville (9-3)
Cleveland (4-8)
Tennessee (3-9)
San Francisco (2-10)
St. Louis (5-7)
Houston (1-11)
New England (7-5)
Houston (1-11)
Cincinatti (9-3)
Pittsburgh (7-5)
Tennessee (3-9)

1. I'm pretty sure if any team played Houston twice, SF, and Tennessee three times, they'd have at least 6 wins.
2. When they played Cincy, they won by only 8, and Jacksonville, only by 7, so it's not like they destroyed the two teams that have 9 wins.
3. THEY PLAYED HOUSTON TWICE, AND TENNESSEE THREE TIMES AND SF ONCE. If you seriously can sit there and say that they haven't had a pretty easy schedule, then um yeah, I don't know what to tell you...

[GOB_]

I never stated that the Colts didn't have an easy schedule. I was curious as to which two teams were worthy opponents (seeing as they have played four teams with a winning record). Still, I'm tired about hearing their strength of schedule is the only reason why they are 12-0. We will soon find out how good the Colts really are. I think we can all agree that they have been one of the better teams in the NFL for the past few years. I can't see how that changes given their record.

yeah the first part was to you, and then i was just trying to back up what i was saying. Its not cool to make statements like "oh, so and so has an easy schedule" and then not say why.

and I agree in regards to finding out how good they are. they have SD and Seattle coming up. If they rock them, then okay. I mean, I think they are a great team, I just feel like I might be the only one on the planet who won't sing their praises until they have a SB ring. If that is this season, then okay, but until then...yeeeah, I'm not giving in to the Indy hype.

[Tak_a_Tak]

Another big game tomorrow. June and Harper are both questionable which sucks. That could make a difference if they're in the game or not.

[Fishbulb290]

yeah, like whoever said; Pitt and NE, but it's not like either of those teams are even that good. I'd probably throw in Cinci, cuz yeah, they're pretty good.

let's take a look at "x's" schedule, where "x" = the colts, shall we?
Baltimore (4-8)
Jacksonville (9-3)
Cleveland (4-8)
Tennessee (3-9)
San Francisco (2-10)
St. Louis (5-7)
Houston (1-11)
BYE
New England (7-5)
Houston (1-11)
Cincinatti (9-3)
Pittsburgh (7-5)
Tennessee (3-9)
Jacksonville(9-3)
San Diego
Seattle
Arizona
1. I'm pretty sure if any team played Houston twice, SF, and Tennessee three times, they'd have at least 6 wins.
2. When they played Cincy, they won by only 8, and Jacksonville, only by 7, so it's not like they destroyed the two teams that have 9 wins.
3. THEY PLAYED HOUSTON TWICE, AND TENNESSEE THREE TIMES AND SF ONCE. If you seriously can sit there and say that they haven't had a pretty easy schedule, then um yeah, I don't know what to tell you...

You only play a divisional team twice a season. Always. But I filled out the rest of their schedule. And if they can go 16-0 even though they won't have to for the home field I would say that is very impressive.

[dmbhoosier21]

Ho hum its looking like another win for the colts. Colts just keep getting luckier and luckier this season which is of course the main reason why they are undefeated. With their easy schedule, blind luck (key opposing player being injured), "illegal" hits and dirty play, and loud on field speakers in the RCA dome........their soon to be 13-0 record has nothing to do with Manning, Harrison, Wayne, Edge, solid O-line & supporting players who have been "lucky" the past few seasons (b/c we all know Manning's two MVPs have been flukes)

Also who would be impressed with that Defense, they too have just been "lucky" (again nothing to do with their players including Freeny, Mathis, Simon, Doss, Sanders) and their vast improvement has minimal influence on that record. We all know their record and impressive performance has more to do with the outlined reasons above..................:freak

:rolleyes

[dmbhoosier21]

Although the Jags do have a solid run defense

Definitely with a healthy Leftwich is going to be a tough tough team in the playoffs

[Tak_a_Tak]

As they say....

Not so fast my friend!

:BANG

wtf...

[Tak_a_Tak]

Damn....there's a great reason why the 'prevent' defence can be bad late in a game.


Glad to see home field for the playoffs.

[dmbhoosier21]

:o ........i guess i spoke too soon


those jags are tough

[dmbhoosier21]

so i guess now the question is "to play or not to play" (the starters) considering the rest of the games are worthless

[dmbhoosier21]

I say just play the starters just to keep them sharp for the playoffs, i am definitely against them playing the whole game

I really dont care if the Colts go undefeated, the success of the team is solely on whether or not they win the Super Bowl

Yes it would be nice if they go undefeated but not at the risk of losing the losing the Super Bowl

[Tak_a_Tak]

Ya, that's got to be tuff on Tony. I think they have to play some, just to keep in game mode up to the playoffs.

[cazzie34]

Not exactly sure who said it, I believe it was Bill Simmons (writer for ESPN), but he said that the Colts should definitely try to win all the games this year. Why? Because only 1 team in the history of the NFL has gone undefeated, there have been 39 previous super bowl champions, only 1 undefeated team. What's better company? Sometimes you have to gamble in life to really make it pay out in the end, he'll go down as an all time legend if he runs the table. Keep the starters in until the game is safe, then switch over to the back ups. Peyton and co. should be playing roughly 3 quarters of every game. Thats just the way I feel, I think this team is good enough to go undefeated and they shouldn't slow down now.

i dont know, as a fan i'd much rather the Colts win the super bowl than go undefeated. If lets say the colts do go undefeated and lose in the playoffs, most everyone, including myself, would label the season as a dissapointment AND could you imagine what the critics are going to say about the team? "Choke artist" comes to mind

I mean, maybe if the Colts were the Pats with championships already under their belt maybe teh colts should go all out for the undefeated season, but as an organization who has never won (in indy) a championship, a Super Bowl win has to be #1 on their mind. And the way the NFL is, teams only have a small window of opportunity to win it all

the only concern i would have if the colts did sit the starters is the factor of ruining the team's "rhythm" for the playoffs.

[SmoothD41]

1) I hate garbage points. The end of that game really pissed me off. I know a "win is a win" but nevertheless, that made me really mad.

2) David Garrard could start for several teams

3) Colts should definitely play their starters at least into the 4th quarter of the next 3 games. The Colts have INCREDIBLE luck with injuries (::knocks on wood::), I don't see why it would change now. They are an extremely tough team.

4) 13-0

[SmoothD41]

getting ready to head out the door right now to watch another Colts blowout at the dome.

Colts 31 Chargers 10

14-0

terrible game, what the hell happened to the O-line?

oh well, at least the distractions will go down and maybe the team can focus on the real challenge and goal; the Super Bowl

[justinandimcool]

Bitches got Bolted

[dmb1spe]

Man. I don't even know how to react to this one. We played awful.

[dmb1spe]

Yup.... HUGE blowout. :lol
Didn't know San Diego had that many fans in Virginia Beach. Let me guess.. you like USC too. And the White Sox. And the Patriots the last three years. And Tony Stewart. And Duke.

[SmoothD41]

Bitches got Bolted

I wonder if the Chargers are having a gathering at Drew Brees' house to watch the playoffs this year.

haha Dont cry like a little bitch because your perfect team just lost and I called you out. I just called someone out who said they were gonna whomp a team. I could care less about any team in the NFL, baseball, etc... Just a huge Duke and FSU fan... Think before you type you tard.

i love learning that Indy fans were laughing all by themselves, because no one in New England gave a crap about that loss. We pretty much just said "oh, wait, now I have to go cry while I look up what those three super bowl rings look like. yeah buh bye."

[dmb1spe]

This. And you. Are the reasons why everyone fucking hates the Pats. Not just dslikes. FUCKING DESPISES.

[dmbgodagirl41]

This. And you. Are the reasons why everyone fucking hates the Pats. Not just dslikes. FUCKING DESPISES.

I actually don't know anyone who actually legitimately dislikes the pats. The only reason anyone would dislike the pats is because they've actually won shit, and other fans are probably tired of seeing them win super bowls. It's not like we have jerks on the team, or people who waltz around rubbing it/discussing the Pats dynasty constantly. How many Pats threads do you see here, for example? Not to many. We don't have to run our mouths; but when someone says something bad about the Pats, you bet your ass we're going to step in and say whatever it takes to shut that moron up.

I think I am the only person not impressed with Indy. But when I said "bet they will lose when they actually play a legit team", I was half right....the only other legit team they played was Cincy, and it's not like they KILLED them; Indy only won by 8.

[dmb1spe]

It's not like we have people who waltz around rubbing it/discussing the Pats dynasty constantly. .

Do you read the verbal diarrhea that spews from your noisehole? Are you fucking serious??? How many Tom Brady posts, Pats posts, or general posts about how awesome they are have we had to weather from you and you alone.

You're fucking funny. That's what you are.

[Snipper007]

Seattle is going to beat the Colts for there second loss!!!

[malarks26]

Man. I don't even know how to react to this one. We played awful.

Yeah they didn't even look like the Colts of the past few years. Horrid game plan both offensively and defensively.

Yeah, me, not pats fans. Don't hate a team/an entire fanbase on the fact that I talk about Tom Brady once in a while. And for the record: I have not mentioned Tom Brady very much AT ALL.

Don't be bitter because you know the 72 dolphins will be popping open Champagne today because some team is overrated.

hahaha, the Patriots

Need I remind you that there was a MASSACRE in Foxboro on November 7th?

Lets see the Patriots come indoors and beat the Colts in the playoffs. Your lame "consecutive home wins" streak was ended by the same team that beat the Colts yesterday. You are probably the only person in the entire nation that isn't impressed with what the Colts have done. I know that you have to be a huge homer, but people here can at least give the Patriots credit. I am a die-hard Colts fan, but Tom Brady is unbelievable, best quarterback in the league.

We're 13-1, you're sitting average at 9-5. Just because Teddy Stroaksi, err Bruschi is back and you're getting healthy doesn't worry me at all. We destroyed you earlier in the year at YOUR PLACE, it's only going to be worse in the playoffs at the dome.

[SmoothD41]

haha :lol, and i NEVER want to hear Pats fans talking about how the Colts schedule was weak.

Here is the second half of the Patriots schedule.

Dolphins
Saints
Chiefs
Jets
Bills
Bucs
Jets
Dolphins

man, that's rough....The Patriots have been beating, sometimes barely, worthless teams for the past two months so people are like "whoaaa, look out for the Patriots!"...i'm not buying it.

[dave1399fan]

I don't know how you can say the Colts haven't played a legit team. They have beaten Cincy, New England, Steelers and the Jags twice. Those are 4 playoff bound teams.

As a Dolphins fan, I was glad to see the Colts go down. I cheer for them because they have 2 former Hawkeye players on the team and 1 of them happens to be blowing people up, Bob Sanders. It should be interesting to see how the rest of the season shakes out.

My team is obviously out of it but it looks like the Patriots are finally starting to get healthy and playing good. The Colts should still be the favorite but they have shown their weakness. Run the ball and get pressure on Manning and you can beat the Colts. Broncos and the Patriots will both be very tough matchups for them.

[dmb1spe]

Sanders has been the surprise of the season IMO.

yah, but she has the 3 super bowls to fall back on; the argument now is who is the better team NOW!, :lol

There is no use with arguing with her :lol

I am a Pacer fan and i hated the 90s bulls, the Lakers (with Shaq) but i respected them and KNEW they were an obviously great team

If someone isnt impressed by what the Colts have done (SO FAR) in the season well i am gonna guess that they dont really know much about football. She has a point in saying, yes the Colts have to win a big one first to be considered a great team fine, but by not giving credit to that offense (with their accomplishments the past few years) and Manning shows how nearsighted her "football perspective" is. Its one thing to hate a team (i hate lots of them inlcuding the knicks, lakers, pats, dallas, phil, the yankees to name a few) but i know when i see a good/great team/player and acknowledge it.

Personally i really dont care that the Colts lost, i think its a good thing for them to remember what losing feels like before going into the playoffs

oh and she forgot to mention that the Colts also cheat ("dirty" plays, and funneling crowd noise onto the field during a game) and that they have just luckily "stumbled" onto a 13-1 team.

:lol .......she needs to watch other football teams play other than her beloved pats, and if she does she needs to actually pay attention to whats going on

[RJ2kWJ]

I dont love them or anything and am not on their nuts...

But honestly I think certain AFC team fans (not just the Colts) would be retarded if they are counting the Pats out of being a good super bowl contender again...

Good article...

This. And you. Are the reasons why everyone fucking hates the Pats. Not just dslikes. FUCKING DESPISES.

[SteelerMan]

As a Dolphins fan...

...My team is obviously out of it...

Are the Dolphins mathematically eliminated? I was thinking about that yesterday... they're two games behind the Steelers with two to go. I know they won't make it, but they might technically still be alive. One of the reasons my vote for Coach of the Year goes to Nick Saban. Most people had the Fins penciled in at 4-12.

The only way the dolphins will make the playoffs is if Pitt and SD lose both their games. And Pitt has Cleveland and Detroit...I'm thinking they won't lose either of those games (but stranger things have happened). If Miami makes the playoffs, I'll have Donovan McNabb as my Avatar for a week.

Mathmatically, no there not yet. Probability wise, their not looking so good. Not to mention having to play New England @ NE for the last game. I think they will finish 8-8 which is a major accomplishment. I wouldn't want to face a NE team that is starting to gel in the playoffs.

Yeah, I think Saban has to be mentioned but let's be honest. The Dolphins do have talent on both sides of the ball. Wannstedt is a terrible HC and I figured a lot of people could have come in there and do better than Dave. I figured 6-10 or 7-9 before the season. You have to appreciate Saban being able to bring Williams back and making him a productive part of the team.

[UNC41]

colts needed it anyways, really think in the long run its for the better, take that ass whoopin and learn something out of it......

I don't buy that whole the loss is a good thing in the long run. Everyone said it about Illinois last year in college basketball, but that didn't turn out to benefit them.

[dave1399fan]

I don't but it either. Not at this time of the year. This is when you want to be coming together as a team and not performing the way they did. The Chargers exposed some weaknesses on Sunday that Indy will need to fix quickly. I have always thought that they might struggle with a team like Denver or New England who can run the bal and put pressure on Manning. The Chargers showed that to be true.

[UNC41]

What yesterday's game really showed me is the importance of Edge to the Colts offense. The Chargers shut him down and the offense couldn't get going. Manning, Harrison, Wayne, Stokely, Clark, etc. are all weapons, but that offense absoltutly needs Edge.

[BAN310]

Haha, the streak is over.

Go Bears.

[dmbhoosier21]

I don't buy that whole the loss is a good thing in the long run. Everyone said it about Illinois last year in college basketball, but that didn't turn out to benefit them.

Yeah, but at least the team has two.....actually 3 weeks (cus of the bye) to get it together. I'm a fan, i gotta keep my hope alive. The team is still 13-1 and with the way Manning prepares for games and being such a "cerebral" QB, we know he is going to be studying some game films trying to figure out what the hell went wrong.

[UNC41]

Ohh, there is still no doubt in my mind the Colts are still the best team in the NFL.

Miami is mathematically eliminated. they're two games behind Pittsburgh and San Diego, and one game behind Kansas City. they would need each team to lose out (San Diego plays Kansas City next week, so that's not possible) and even if they ended up with the same record, they don't own the tiebreak in a three or more team tie. and just in case none of that makes sense......

AFC Teams Eliminated
Baltimore (Week 13); Buffalo (Week 14); Cleveland (Week 13); Houston (Week 12); Miami (Week 15); N.Y. Jets (Week 13); Oakland (Week 13); Tennessee (Week 13)

No big suprise for me, I knew he would help out the D a lot!

[Tak_a_Tak]

Haha, the streak is over.

The bears looked good last night for sure.


Big deal, the streak is over. I never put any hope or thought in the idea that they would go 16-0. It kills me how many people are jumping on the Colts now that they lost a game. Oh no! The Colts lost, they're done!! Please,....it's only one game. That's like saying, Whatch out now! The Texans won a game!! They've got it all togther now!

[dmbhoosier21]

5 defensive starters out and it certainly looked like it

Merry Christmas!

[Carbon Copy]

noone realizes this game is on right now..including me. We look like dick as of right now

[gorgefan29]

Hawks win again for the 11 time in a row its unfortunate that the game was only being played by one team but the hawks needed it for home field adv. thru out playoffs. I dont see a bright side for the colts coming anytime soon. Ever since their loss by SD , the Dungy family and seahawks loss, it will be pretty tough for them opening up the first round at home vs the defending champs. This could spiral downhill for the colts and i smell a 2nd round loss for them at home.

[cfh72]

this is the preview of the exact result of the superbowl

[jheideman]

what happened tonight....?

[gorgefan29]

the colts got beat took their starters out and got beat some more is what happened.

[Tak_a_Tak]

That was not easy to watch tonight. They were off their game, that's for sure. Although I'm sure they're fine, it does make me feel a little uneasy to see them so off their game this close to playoff time.

[SmoothD41]

people are honestly concerned about that game??

The Colts had more than half of their defense out, Manning and James played one quarter and Harrison didn't even make the trip.

I was expecting the score to be much worse than it was actually. I personally thought they did well given the circumstances. If the so called beast of the NFC only beats the Colts 2nd stringers by 15, I think that's pretty good sign for the Colts.

Nobody thought that they were going to win, hell they were -10.5 going into the game after being favored by more than 10 in every game the last 2 months or so. There is no doubt that the Colts are still the team to beat.

[Bartender84]

If most of our secondary hadn't been injured you wouldn't have done as well on offense.

[bothedmbfan]

I could happen, but I would be very shocked if they lost more than one of those. They're just so tight right now, if a team trys to take something away, they've got two more options to come back with.

I'm just so sick of people saying the Colts are not that good because of the teams they've played. All these teams are in the NFL. Not one of them is so bad that they've lost all their games. The Colts are beating teams by more than 14 points on avg. They are the team to beat right now, and I can't see it any time soon.

I was right 1 out of 3.

and now the Seahawks are beter(same record, and they have the head to head, even if they're in different confrences)

but the Seahawks nor the Colts will win the SB, or go to it actually, it'll be DA Bears!

The Colts had more than half their defensive starters out and the starting offense played two series......yah, im sure that game was a realistic view of what a "real" (both teams full strenght with the Colts something to play for) game between those two teams would be

Eh, I just hate the Colts.
they're a very good team, but IDK if they can win it for these 3 reasons.

1. Tony Dungy, I just don't know when he'll be back, adn if it'll be in time for the SB.

2. Cato June, he's a bigger asset than you'd think

3. Peyton Manning, he could never win the big one.

adn Da Bears have easily the best defense in the NFL, and while grossman is no Kurt Warner of old, he's kinda like trent dilfer of 2000.

which is why i think Da Bears will win the Superbowl.

Eh, I just hate the Colts.
they're a very good team, but IDK if they can win it for these 3 reasons.

1) I really believe Dungy will be back in time to get ready for the playoffs. There is no time table for something like this, but I believe he will want to get back to what he does.

2) I think most people who live here/follow the Colts, know just how big Cato is. He will be 100% by the time the playoffs start up.

3) Payton and the big game thing again. Whatever.... :rolleyes


I'm really happy for Bears fans for the season they're having. I grew up in a Bear home before the Colts set up shop. But, as much as I think they will be a team to be ready for, I don't see any way they will make it to the SB. They just don't have the points to get them through the playoffs. They looked much better with Grossman in there, but still, with the teams they're going to face, they're going to need to points up and not get behind.

I lived in Indy through most of this season, and I gotta say, they just didn't really impress me.

sure they blew away poor apponents, but against good teams, they either almost lost, or did lose.

hel, if Bulger and Little didn't get hurt in the rams game, Rams may have pulled off the huge upset(and in the first quarter everyone was just like this :confused)

you mean 0-4 in the preseason, unless they done changed it this year, which they may have, because I didn't watch any preseason this year.

[Tak_a_Tak]

Yes, it was 5 presason games for the Colts this year because they played the extra game over in Tokyo with Atlanta.

And I agree, it was funny how everyone was on the Colts because no team had even went O for in the preseason and won the SB. Then they come out and win 13 in a row and everyone was all over them. Now, they've lost the last two and everyone says they've lost it.

(By everyone, I mean the sports media)

[dmbgodagirl41]

uhh, hate to tell you, but those two last games proved what the colts do when they actually play a team that 1. isn't plagued with ridiculous injuries or 2. doesn't completely suck.

[dmbhoosier21]

uhh, hate to tell you, but those two last games proved what the colts do when they actually play a team that 1. isn't plagued with ridiculous injuries or 2. doesn't completely suck.

Im sorry but you are wrong, those two games meant nothing for the colts. The second game, you dont think the tragedy with the Dungy family didnt affect the game at all?

1. Games meant nothing to the Colts (dont know if you played sports but that this has a huge impact on performance no matter what they say to the media)

2. Dungy tragedy

3. After the Colts were 10-0 (or even earlier) you dont think that every team "targeted" the team meaning they played their very best against them?

4. The Chargers played for their lives (and again Colts were playing for nothing) at the time they were fighting for a playoff spot

5. The Seahawks were playing for the #1 position (unless you dont know, is HUGE in the playofs) in the NFC, while again the Colts were playing for nothing

6. 2nd game - half the defensive starters out and the offense (w/o marvin) played only two series

......:lol im sorry but if you really think that proves that the Colts are somehow not a contender anymore then you have no clue what you are talking about

those two losses proves that Colts have some holes to patch up if they want to win the SB but if you think they are no longer contenders then haha :lol you have no clue what you are talking about......and that you need to watch football a little closer

I think your hate for the Colts (which btw is quite alright i hate your team as much) has hindered your ability to accurately evaluate the Colts.

Of course you can say that my bias toward the Colts also hinders my ability to do the same but i have never made any claims that the Colts are a perfect team but i am saying that they are as much a contender as the Pats, Steelers, Seattle, Denver.

First off, I don't hate the colts. I was actually hoping they would go undefeated for the season. I have no problem with them (to be honest, why would I? seriously)

And if you can seriously say that going into the San Diego game the fans and players said "this game means nothing...I hope we/they lose", then yeah, I don't know what to say to that.

Dungy tragedy? Yeah, that was horrible, but how about you ask Brett Favre how much of an excuse losing someone close to you is. Not trying to be a prick, but a tragedy doesn't necessarily hinder performance.

And did I say the Colts weren't a contender? All I said is that losing a couple games does not = unimportance. Colts fans are just saying this to make themselves feel better. "Oh, I'm GLAD they lost. I'm GLAD they blew history. I'm glad that they showed that they are vulnerable and can be beat at home. NICE!" Yeah Okay. Keep making excuses for mediocre games.

[SteelerMan]

I agree with you as far as the Seahawks game goes, but saying the Chargers game meant nothing to the Colts is a lame excuse for losing. I watched a lot of that game, and the Colts were definitely giving their best effort. They were beaten by the better team that day.

Agree with the getting beaten by a better team THAT DAY because they were

But the Chargers came in there with fire, desire and "want" (and more importantly, fear.....of not getting in the playoffs)

While the Colts came in their thinking they are a "perfect" team with no spark

That has a lot to do with the game but to use that one game to gauge the whole season and Colts' chances in the playoffs is laughable, in fact......:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

[SteelerMan]

True, but if I were a Colts fan, I'd be a little nervous right now heading into the playoffs. They don't have the momentum that Pittsburgh, New England, or even Denver have heading in. Still, you can't write them off because of the last two games.

Im not making excuses, they lost....they played like crap, they are not a perfect team (i knew that the whole season) but you cant gauge a whole season with two essentially "worthless" games

And to be honest im glad this whole "Perfect" season is gone just cus the pressure to win would be magnified even more which makes my Colts watching that much more heart stopping. And if (IF!) the Colts lose in the playoffs then the dissapointment wouldnt be AS much if they were undefeated. Meaning if they lost in the playoffs it would be easier to take, now that they have lost a couple

No argument here, i am

People are saying, its good that the Colts are resting but momentum is HUGE so....

And im a pessimist to begin with so i tend to see all the negatives, that is why i never bought into the whole perfect team/season deal

[RJ2kWJ]

Im still convinced the Pats with less injuries, an amped up Brady, and Bill as the coach are still gonna come out of the AFC... especially after watching them completely dismantle and waste the Bucs.

I think they will win all their playoff games by no more than 7 and come out of the AFC against the Bengals. The colts just dont seem to have what it takes yet... but for you Colt fans I hope they prove me wrong for your sake.

[Tak_a_Tak]

Dungy tragedy? Yeah, that was horrible, but how about you ask Brett Favre how much of an excuse losing someone close to you is. Not trying to be a prick, but a tragedy doesn't necessarily hinder performance.


Um, that's not really the same thing there. I am both a son and a father. As much as it's going to break my heart when my father passes away, I know I will be able to get my life back on track and go on. On the other hand, if something were to happen one of my children, I don't know if I can say the same. To just think about that makes me hurt. I know it was the coaches son, and not one of the players, but if one of my friends lost their child, it would be a lot harder to deal with than if they had lost their father.

Sports media, what do they know.......

For anyone who has watched the Colts consistently the WHOLE season then they know that if the Colts play their game, no one can beat them

I dont care if you are not a fan or not, if you have watched that offense then you know that if they are healthy are playing their game they are unstoppable.

And the defense is good enough. Corey Simon (with reagor and triplett) in the middle with quickness in the ends (umm, yah Freeney!) and LBs. Two VERY strong safeties for run support (although they have fallen in love with the hard hits and sometimes forget that they also have to cover the pass). What worries me are the Colts' corners, never been impressed by them

If the Colts play their "A" game, they are going to win it all

Just hope they get it together by playoff time cus their rhythm and flow has been all screwed up

I totaly agree about the rhythm. But, I said the same all through out the preseason, and then they came out and started the season the way they did.

fair enough, i was just defending the fact that I originally didn't say the Colts 1. weren't good or 2. weren't a worthy team. I merely said that the games they lost weren't "unimportant", that's all.

Im just hoping Tak is right and that the Colts bounce back from all this :hug

it's going to be an interesting playoffs, though. I could see any of the AFC going all the way....

Looks like Marvin is out again for this weekend. He better be 100% come playoff time.


It looks like the game Sunday is going going to be very boring, plus there's a real good chance of a hang-over. I'm wondering now if I should have sold my ticket.

[bothedmbfan]

[Tak_a_Tak]

I don't have the Colts making the Superbowl.(haven't made my official predictions yet, but I a;ready know my SB winner pick)

Yes, thanks. You've made that quite clear.

[Tak_a_Tak]

Looks like Tony's back with the team as of today. I guess that's good news, he's ready to start to get things back together.

[bothedmbfan]

yes he's back, but will he be 100% emotionally and mentally?

I don't know, but I'm glad that he's starting to move forward after a devestating loss(his son that is)

but regardless of the teams getting in now I've got my picks.

in the NFC I have Da Bears going to the superbowl after a win over Seattle
in the AFC I have the Patriots goin to the superbowl after a win over either Denver or Colts(depends on seeding)

in the Superbowl I have it 24-14 Bears are superbowl Champions and Brian Urlacher wins MVP of Superbowl XL(aka the FAT superbowl)

[Tak_a_Tak]

Now, are you making those picks based on the fact that you really believe the Bears can win the SB, or is it based on the fact that you are a complete homer for the Bears?

[bothedmbfan]

Now, are you making those picks based on the fact that you really believe the Bears can win the SB, or is it based on the fact that you are a complete homer for the Bears?

Both.

The defense can carry them deep into the playoffs, and while Rex ain't the second coming of Jim McMahon, he may be the second coming of Trent Dilfer, adn we all knew how that worked in 2000.

[Tak_a_Tak]

I can't say that I would agree with you at about that. Don't get me wrong, the Bears by far have the best D in the game, no question. But, out of their 11 wins this season, they've only beat two teams with 10 wins or more (the Bucks and the Panthers). The rest of their wins came from teams either right at, or below .500 on the season. I just don't see them making it deep in the playoffs against other teams that have a much better O than what the Bears D is used to. Unless Rex 'Broke'man comes out and starts putting up points out of no where (which I guess could happen), I just can't see them in the run for very long.

[UNC41]

Who is going to be a healthy and focused Colts team indoors?

[bothedmbfan]

well we know it can happen.

I gotta think that a healthy Patriots team would beat tehm indoors.

Denver can beat them.

and the Colts have trouble against teams that are decent or better.

Dungy can very easily be out coached by coaches more focused than him Belicheck(sp) being the one in the AFC that can really out coach him(Bill Cower can as well)

and in the NFC, Gruden, who took the reigns from Dungy in Tampa, and led the team to the superbowl that year(not only can Peyton not win the big one, niether can coach Dungy, historically speaking that is)

Lovie Smith(who should win coach of the year this year, though if Dungy, or Marvin Lewis win it, I will not be dissapointed, alot of good candidates this year.) is a great defensive mind, and will figure out a way to beat the Colts' offense, if they play them that is.

and another from the AFC, I don't even know if he'll get in, but Dick Vermiel is a great coach.

that and the Colts and the Patriots are going into the playofs with a big !@#$ing target on thier backs.

The only thing I agree with is the part about Lovie Smith and coach of the year. The rest of that is just a joke. I love how everyone one says Payton/Dungy historically have never won 'the big game'. So, I guess that means they can't ever win 'the big game'. That is just stupid. It doesn't make sence. Everyone who has won a SB, did so for the first time at some point in.

The Colts have trouble against better teams? The only team to beat the Colts starters this year would be the Chargers. I don't know who you're thinking of, but the Colts may not have always played their best game, but they did what they had to do to get the win. (Much of that could be said about the Bears this year to, so don't give me that).

And the whole thing about being out coached.........I guess we will see.

[Tak_a_Tak]

Fear the Broncos!!!!

the Broncos are one of the teams I think will give the Colts the most trouble in the playoffs. But, with that being said, I think will will be able to out score them.

That was a really great moment when he held up the ball. That made me glad I ended up going to game after all. I was pleased for the most part with how well they played. But, I agree, I would have liked to see the starters in a little longer after the way the started the game.
