Official Colts-Chargers Game Thread

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

Let's discuss, this is gonna be a fun game.

[mikeford]

TOUCHDOWN CHARGERS


DREW BREES :dance:

[Talib Scottie]

that last play was shit. all that guy had to go was fall on the ball

[mat1419]

wish i could watch but i can't let myself change channels during the birds game...go bolts though

[LeftWideOpen]

I'd love to see the Colts go down. It's very early though ..this game is gonna be in the 30's I bet.

[walshknilb281]

San Diegos looking strong

[Talib Scottie]

The Chargers are pushing them around it seems.

[LeftWideOpen]

The Chargers are pushing them around it seems.

yeah, I'm still not sold on Drew Brees though. I still think he's capable of making a dumb play and f'ing everything up at a crucial point. They've only ran 4 run plays so far as opposed to 11 passes ..that ratio needs to change if they wanna win.

[LeftWideOpen]

10-0 Chargers ..great start. Kaeding is an underrated kicker.

[mikeford]

need another turnover here.

[still_life]

Wish I was watching this game instead of watching the refs play in Minnesota.

Looks like San Diego's playing their best game of the season, those bastards. Their season's over, they should give up and let history happen. Dungy's fears seem to be coming true too as according to nfl.com, two players were already hurt during the game for his team.

[hockey0001]

wish i could watch the game. Im stuck with the choice between either Dolphins-Jets or Saints-Panthers

[still_life]

N.Kaeding kicks 65 yards from SD 30 to IND 5. D.Rhodes MUFFS catch, touched at IND 9, and recovers at IND 9. D.Rhodes to IND 21 for 12 yards (H.Milligan). PENALTY on IND-K.O`Neil, Offensive Holding, 10 yards, enforced at IND 21.

1-10-IND 11 (1:50) E.James right tackle to IND 17 for 6 yards (R.Godfrey). PENALTY on IND-D.Gandy, Offensive Holding, 5 yards, enforced at IND 11 - No Play.

Sometimes it's just not your day I guess.

[LeftWideOpen]

3 and out for the Colts. didnt even make it past the 20 yard line ..wow.

[mat1419]

who? I know Simon and someone else were already sitting. If I were the Chargers I'd come out flying making huge hits to scare the shit out of Dungy and hopefully get some players benched.

[still_life]

Diem (o-line) and Tripplett (d-line)

[mikeford]

oh yeah the chargers should definitely lay down, especially after the chiefs lost 2 in a row and left the door wide open for the chargers


oh wait youre a complete dolt.

[still_life]

If the Chiefs left anything opened, the Steelers slammed it shut last week. All they have to do is win their games and the Chargers don't make it, because of the head-to-head win.

[LeftWideOpen]

If the Chiefs left anything opened, the Steelers slammed it shut last week. All they have to do is win their games and the Chargers don't make it, because of the head-to-head win.

yeah because Pittsburgh winning out is similar to slamming it shut?? They arent even winning their game right now.

[still_life]

They'll win today, just need to get some drives going. The game keeps gettig stopped by stupid penalties, challenges, and injuries.

Chargers killed themselves with losing to Miami at home.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

oh yeah the chargers should definitely lay down, especially after the chiefs lost 2 in a row and left the door wide open for the chargers


oh wait youre a complete dolt.
The Chiefs never had a playoff spot locked you, you dolt. They're on the outside looking in. Pittsburgh and Jacksonville have the wild card spots.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

So true. The Chargers could have controlled it all with that win last week, but they lost. TO FUCKING MIAMI. In SAN DIEGO.

[LeftWideOpen]

They'll win today, just need to get some drives going. The game keeps gettig stopped by stupid penalties, challenges, and injuries.

Chargers killed themselves with losing to Miami at home.

I don't think they'll lose today but I definitely dont think they're a lock to win out. They are a suspect team and are entirely capable of losing one of their remaining games, including today. San Diego definitely has something to play for.

[still_life]

They have Cleveland and Detroit, what's so hard about that? Only thing hard about this game is the dome effect, Steelers don't play in domes well.

Looks like the Colts might have woke up just now.

[LeftWideOpen]

They have Cleveland and Detroit, what's so hard about that? Only thing hard about this game is the dome effect, Steelers don't play in domes well.

Looks like the Colts might have woke up just now.

Well first off there is today ..which is definitely up in the air. Detroit won't be a problem I think ..but I wouldnt write off Cleveland. They've beaten Chicago and they've played tough teams close (3 point loss at Cincy, 7 point loss at Indy). Droughns running well and Frye has been efficient.

I don't think Cleveland will beat them ..but theres a case to be made for them. Today is their toughest test left though, for sure.

[still_life]

4th&goal at the 1, gotta go for it

[still_life]

-6 yard run, wtf?

[LeftWideOpen]

-6 yard run, wtf?

dumb call. peyton tried a bootleg??? i think he intended to pass but nobody got open.

[still_life]

I just saw the highlight on CBS, bad call. I know Edge sucks in those situations, but that's always your best bet.

[Drew Beringer]

Ugh, I can't even watch the Colts game. Being in dumb Texas, I have to watch the Texans.

[weezer182]

the game isnt even on here :'(. i hope sd can pull out a win

[mikeford]

Throw It To Gates

[Emopunkthrice]

13-0!!!!

[still_life]

Figures Martyball would go for the FG. This isn't nothing new. Colts looked like crap in the first half last year against them, then came out and started scoring in the 3rd, while still looking like crap on defense. Then the 4th quarter came and they got it to OT. In a big game for his team, Marty most often finds a way to choke it up.

The Colts might be thinking about pulling their guys for the second half, but I'm sure Manning will want to put some points on the board before that'd happen.

[Drew Beringer]

Colts can come back from 13 easily. They'll still win.

[LeftWideOpen]

this isnt related to this game but ..where the hell did Tennesee come from? I looked 10 minutes ago and it was 14-0 seattle, now its tied at the half?

[still_life]

Yeah, Manning has two 4th quarter comebacks against SD, and has never lost to them. They'll figure something out. The defense needs to get better too, they're looking like the old Colts. They almost let a 93 yard TD drive on that last one.

[still_life]

Beating up on weak NFC teams isn't the same as playing weak AFC teams.

[still_life]

59 yard FG? I don't like that call, better off with the hail mary.

[Drew Beringer]

Yeah, Manning has two 4th quarter comebacks against SD, and has never lost to them. They'll figure something out. The defense needs to get better too, they're looking like the old Colts. They almost let a 93 yard TD drive on that last one.

They'll come back, Dungy won't sit anyone, cause that would be a slap in the face to the players and fans. Colts will figure it out, everything will be ok.

[NetNerdsRevenge]

I would just like to say, I picked SD to win this game.

now hopefully I dont eat my words.

[weezer182]

I would just like to say, I picked SD to win this game.

now hopefully I dont eat my words. i did the same thing

[Doug]

Beating up on weak NFC teams isn't the same as playing weak AFC teams.

if i could punch anyone from the internet it would be you. just sayin.

[still_life]

21-14 Titans, punch that

[Jesse2]

Beating up on weak NFC teams isn't the same as playing weak AFC teams.

so if pittsburgh wins this game it won't mean much?

(like most steelers wins)

[still_life]

so if pittsburgh wins this game it won't mean much?

(like most steelers wins)

Minnesota has 8 wins, Tennessee has 4. Great comparison

[Drew Beringer]

Damn those Colts.

[Jesse2]

Minnesota has 8 wins, Tennessee has 4. Great comparison

So now all of the suddens wins are all that matter? SOS doesn't matter anymore? the fact that minnesota is in the NFC doesn't negate any talent they might have? the fact that Tennessee is in the AFC doesn't matter anymore?

you're a piece of work still_born

[justinevans]

i wish i could see the game instead of having to watch mike mcmahon try to play quarterback. i have 4 games on right now and the colts isnt one of them =(.

[still_life]

So now all of the suddens wins are all that matter? SOS doesn't matter anymore? the fact that minnesota is in the NFC doesn't negate any talent they might have? the fact that Tennessee is in the AFC doesn't matter anymore?

you're a piece of work still_born

I said Tennessee was a weak AFC team, and you're trying to say Minnesota was a weak NFC team. Do you not realize Tennessee was eliminated from the playoffs weeks ago while the Vikings are alive for a division title? You're the one that made the dumb comparison.

[Jesse2]

Do you not realize Tennessee was eliminated from the playoffs weeks ago while the Vikings are alive for a division title? You're the one that made the dumb comparison.

you're amazing.

[walshknilb281]

fuck

[Anton Djamoos]

Wow. 10 points in two minutes. Can the Colts do it?

[still_life]

You're an idiot.

16-10, game on. Just like he did against Denver earlier this year, Brees throws a crucial pick. I bet the momentum in the RCA Dome is huge right now.

[LeftWideOpen]

I said Tennessee was a weak AFC team, and you're trying to say Minnesota was a weak NFC team. Do you not realize Tennessee was eliminated from the playoffs weeks ago while the Vikings are alive for a division title? You're the one that made the dumb comparison.

i believe the point he was making is that you talk in circles and negate your own points from discussion to discussion by framing all your arguments around how good the steelers are or why they arent playing good, even though they're still really good.

[Emopunkthrice]

I'm starting to regret not starting brees, and starting bledsoe :/

[Drew Beringer]

Colts will still win.

[Emopunkthrice]

shit fumble

[mikeford]

chargers just gave away the game

[LeftWideOpen]

Yeah I wrote back on page 1 somewhere that I wasnt sold on SD because Brees is an overrated quarterback and makes costly mistakes. He reminds me of Eli Manning and Aaron Brooks in that regard.

[Drew Beringer]

Hahahahaha, fumble!!!!

[NetNerdsRevenge]

And there goes my one chance to look smart. Damn charges! You better score on this next drive.

[LeftWideOpen]

17-16 Indy. SD better get their shit together.

[Drew Beringer]

Boomshakakalka!

[Drew Beringer]

Haha, fuck Brees!

[mat1419]

i can't believe i'm still watching the eagles game right now. fucking loyalty.

[still_life]

i believe the point he was making is that you talk in circles and negate your own points from discussion to discussion by framing all your arguments around how good the steelers are or why they arent playing good, even though they're still really good.

He wasn't making any point, just a dumb comment. You're the ones that try and change your arguments. I have to summarize myself every time for you people.

- Minnesota isn't a great team, but they're better than Tennessee
- Tennessee is one of the worst teams in the AFC
- Minnesota is one of the top 9 or so teams in the NFC

[Jesse2]

i believe the point he was making is that you talk in circles and negate your own points from discussion to discussion by framing all your arguments around how good the steelers are or why they arent playing good, even though they're still really good.

ding ding ding! maybe you could interpret (read: dumb down) all the football posts for still_life.

[Doug]

21-14 Titans, punch that

28-24 seahawks, eat a dick

[still_life]

You must be proud that the Seahawks had to scramble to come back on a Titans team.

And it's not over yet.

[Jesse2]

He wasn't making any point, just a dumb comment. You're the ones that try and change your arguments. I have to summarize myself every time for you people.

you're right, it must be the hundreds of people on this board that are retarded, and not you.

i'm trying to think of the last time someone was in agreement with you on this site.

[Drew Beringer]

I've agreed with still_life many times, and he makes a lot of good points. Sometimes his points are a stretch, but for the most part, all his arguments and everything are good.

[Doug]

You must be proud that the Seahawks had to scramble to come back on a Titans team.

And it's not over yet.

in a game that doesn't really matter for the seahakws, i'd just prefer them to win so you don't have further proof that they "suck"

[Drew Beringer]

And he is right, the Vikings have won 6 in a row and are playing for the playoffs. Tennessee aren't good and Seattle should be killing them.

[mat1419]

all his arguments and everything are good.
oh, i wouldn't say all....

[still_life]

Seattle clinches #1 seed with a win right? This game matters for them, especially with Indy coming to town.

Allowing McNair and the Titans to have such a good and close game isn't going to convince me of anything, win or loss.

[Drew Beringer]

oh, i wouldn't say all....

lol. I know, but for the most part, they are. Sure some are far-fetched and he says some stuff to piss people off, but there has never been a post of his where I've thought to myself, "wow, that makes no sense"

[Jesse2]

And he is right, the Vikings have won 6 in a row and are playing for the playoffs. Tennessee aren't good and Seattle should be killing them.

my point was not that the vikings are better than the tennessee, because obviously i think vikings > titans. however, all of the sudden, 8 wins in the NFC means something to him, when at no other point in this season has he given nfc teams any credit.

for someone who puts SOOOO much emphasis on strength of schedule you THINK he would at least look at who the titans have played and who the vikings have played, but no.

[LeftWideOpen]

Kaeding is clutch. 19-17 SD - about a 50 yard FG.

[NetNerdsRevenge]

now hold em!

part of me wants the Colts to win so the pats can kick their ass in the playoffs again

but I called this game and I want to be right!

[Emopunkthrice]

Fumble on the Colts!!!!

[LeftWideOpen]

fumble on the kickoff. SD ball.

[mat1419]

now hold em!

part of me wants the Colts to win so the pats can kick their ass in the playoffs again

but I called this game and I want to be right!
if they went undefeated then the Pats took them in the playoffs that would be amazing...but I'd rather them lost it right now.

[Drew Beringer]

now hold em!

part of me wants the Colts to win so the pats can kick their ass in the playoffs again

but I called this game and I want to be right!

Hahahaha, Patriots won't beat the Colts.

[NetNerdsRevenge]

fuck yes, fumble. now score

[LeftWideOpen]

Hahahaha, Patriots won't beat the Colts.

people have been saying that for 4 years.

[Drew Beringer]

Fumble on the Colts!!!!

effin a

[NetNerdsRevenge]

Hahahaha, Patriots won't beat the Colts.
Their defense has been getting better and better as the season moves along. Never count them out.

[NetNerdsRevenge]

mother fucking int.

[LeftWideOpen]

INT by Brees. What a bag of douche.

[Emopunkthrice]

fucking interception god dammnnn.

[Drew Beringer]

What a surprise. Brees throws a pick!

[mikeford]

brees looks like JV high school qb right now/

[Anton Djamoos]

This is a great game.

[Emopunkthrice]

False Start woooooot!!!!
shit marvin harrisons catch

[mikeford]

maybe the chargers coulda had this if they had a secondary.

[LeftWideOpen]

dumb move by Manning. Intentional Grounding and now a potential FG is a lot longer.

[Emopunkthrice]

Sack!!!!

[LeftWideOpen]

sacked! about a 55 yard FG coming up for Vanderjagt

edit: apparently they're gonna punt? there's only 3 minutes left.

[walshknilb281]

manning is sacked babbyy

[mat1419]

If anybody but Tomlinson touches the ball here...

[Emopunkthrice]

come on brees lets do something

[Drew Beringer]

Man, I wish I could watch this game.

[LeftWideOpen]

If anybody but Tomlinson touches the ball here...

They didnt even have him in the backfield on 1st. WHAT are they thinking? Turner runs for a 4 yard loss.

apparently hes injured on the sideline.

[mat1419]

Man, I wish I could watch this game.
i switched from the Eagles game...this is a huge sacrafice

i had no idea LT was hurt...not good

[walshknilb281]

as much as i hate the colts, you know there gonna come back


scratch that

[Emopunkthrice]

Td!!!

[mat1419]

Ballgame!!!!

[Drew Beringer]

as much as i hate the colts, you know there gonna come back

It's gonna be interesting. I'm gamecasting it right now.

[LeftWideOpen]

TD SD. 83 yard run by Turner. haha

[Doug]

bye bye undefeated season

[mikeford]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEU

Michael Turner is that DUDE!

[Drew Beringer]

Fuck.

[Drew Beringer]

Well, at least Dungy can sit his players.

[mat1419]

what a touchdown...not over yet but wow...he's not even a fast guy

[LeftWideOpen]

What a game. Manning better bust out a bomb to Harrison or Wayne right away.

[Goodbye Forever]

Martyball worked in a big game for once.

[mat1419]

ha, i half expected marty to go for two

[Drew Beringer]

Dungy was retarded in punting the ball.

[LeftWideOpen]

Dungy was retarded in punting the ball.

agreed. I didnt understand that.

[mikeford]

Dungy was retarded in punting the ball.
amen to that.

what a bad call.

[Vincewithouthee]

Wow. Wow. Wow.

[Drew Beringer]

At least the Colts have home field advantage, San Diego still probably won't make the playoffs.

[Doug]

peyton manning face in full effect

[mat1419]

Dungy was retarded in punting the ball.
i dunno, i'm sure he expected them to get the ball back with their D and no LT...then have manning get a few chances to gain 10-20 yards for the chip shot...

manning just decided the colts aren't done yet

[Emopunkthrice]

35 yrds, come on sd lets play some d

[mat1419]

peyton manning face in full effect
elisha's got the best manning face though

[mat1419]

35 yrds, come on sd lets play some d
christ...marty's going to play prevent...can somebody tackle schottenheimer??

[Vincewithouthee]

I'm pissed off. I wanted to see the Colts go 16-0. Fucking 72 Dolphins, assholes.

[justinevans]

hahaha

[Doug]

At least the Colts have home field advantage, San Diego still probably won't make the playoffs.

but they will get a huge pat on the back from the 72 phins

[mikeford]

goddamn SD has NOTHING for a secondary. they let a glorified fullback wander like 45 yards down the field uncovered.

[justinevans]

i dunno, i'm sure he expected them to get the ball back with their D and no LT...then have manning get a few chances to gain 10-20 yards for the chip shot...

manning just decided the colts aren't done yet

come on eagles!`

[Drew Beringer]

Hmm, if Colts get a quick score here, ya know never know. :wink:

[Emopunkthrice]

24 yrds

[Drew Beringer]

but they will get a huge pat on the back from the 72 phins

Yep, that'll make the season for the Chargers! I can see it in the locker room "well we didn't make the playoffs, but the 72 Dolphins sure love us!" This is why they play the game! /sarcasm

[Emopunkthrice]

interception=game!!!!

[mikeford]

Jeah!

[mat1419]

nice

[LeftWideOpen]

INT. Game over.

[weezer182]

looks like san diego has a really good chance now to make the playoffs if they keep playing like this

[walshknilb281]

pick'd

[Vincewithouthee]

Gay.

[selftitled85]

Yep, that'll make the season for the Chargers! I can see it in the locker room "well we didn't make the playoffs, but the 72 Dolphins sure love us!" This is why they play the game! /sarcasm

good job chargers...i hope you make the playoffs.

[mat1419]

come on eagles!`
they got it

[LeftWideOpen]

Wow this has to be the biggest thread for a single game that I've ever seen ..

this is what happens to me when the Patriots play on Saturday.

[Drew Beringer]

Haha, I'm glad I'm on break now. If I was in Indy now, there would be a lot of broken shit in my dorm room from my roommates lol.

[Anton Djamoos]

What a game. Sucks that the Colts are gonna lose, I wanted to see them go undefeated.

[mat1419]

does anybody care enough about the skins and cowboys to keep this going?

[NetNerdsRevenge]

I called it! I called it!

yes!!!!

[NetNerdsRevenge]

does anybody care enough about the skins and cowboys to keep this going?
probably not.

[Emopunkthrice]

is that payton crying????

[Jesse2]

wow. hats off to SD.

[YearsGoneBy]

hahahahahahahaah

[mikeford]

peyton manning face baby.

[Doug]

Yep, that'll make the season for the Chargers! I can see it in the locker room "well we didn't make the playoffs, but the 72 Dolphins sure love us!" This is why they play the game! /sarcasm

you got me good with all that sarcasm. you really laid it on thick.

[LeftWideOpen]

peyton manning face baby.

I love that face. Patriots fans have gotten used to it.

[Drew Beringer]

Colts still will win it all.

[walshknilb281]

could the analysts fit little more peyton manning cock in their mouths

[Drew Beringer]

I hope the Packers win tomorrow.

[Doug]

Colts still will win it all.

i guess we'll just have to see about that

[Emopunkthrice]

game over

[Drew Beringer]

could the analysts fit little more peyton manning cock in their mouths

Please, analysts suck more Brady cock than anyone.

[walshknilb281]

Colts still will win it all.

I think your forgetting about the Pats

[LeftWideOpen]

i guess we'll just have to see about that

yeah, the unbeatable home field advantage argument just took a hit. There's no doubt they're the best team ..but I think its been proven by New England in the past and SD today that the best way to attack the Colts is to blitz the shit out of them.

[Drew Beringer]

I think your forgetting about the Pats

No, I'm not.

[LeftWideOpen]

Please, analysts suck more Brady cock than anyone.

no, the general media does that. the nfl analysts are all over manning, even more so than brady.

[walshknilb281]

Please, analysts suck more Brady cock than anyone.

No way, they love the manning penis. Saying he didnt even have to play today, and it was very courageous of him to do so

[Drew Beringer]

I think analysts suck equal amount of Manning and Brady cock.

[walshknilb281]

No, I'm not.

Nobody is gettin by them in the playoffs, not even Indy at home

[Drew Beringer]

Nobody is gettin by them in the playoffs, not even Indy at home

I gotta say, I love your overconfindence.

[LeftWideOpen]

Nobody is gettin by them in the playoffs, not even Indy at home

I wouldnt go that far. I think the Pats will be competitive and are entirely capable of beating anyone ..but are underdogs to Indy, Denver and even Cincinati.

[Drew Beringer]

Nobody is gettin by them in the playoffs, not even Indy at home

New England will have the 4th seed in the AFC, and they'll face Pittsburgh in the first round. Not an easy game at all.

[LeftWideOpen]

New England will have the 4th seed in the AFC, and they'll face Pittsburgh in the first round. Not an easy game at all.

wrong. Jacksonville most likely. Still not an easy game though. there are no easy games in the playoffs.

[walshknilb281]

I think analysts suck equal amount of Manning and Brady cock.

I'll give you that ESPN loves Brady, but those two today with Manning were killing me, almost as bad as the McCarver Buck combo in the MLB Playoffs

[Drew Beringer]

wrong. Jacksonville most likely. Still not an easy game though.

Haha right, 4 seed plays 5th seed, my bad.

[Emopunkthrice]

176 posts about a single game wow

[walshknilb281]

New England will have the 4th seed in the AFC, and they'll face Pittsburgh in the first round. Not an easy game at all.

They probably scare me the least in AFC playoff picture, we've already beaten them this year, and that was before they found their rhythm

[Drew Beringer]

NE will be playing Jacksonville in the first round, with Pittsburgh matching up against Cincinnati.

[still_life]

You try a 59 yard FG before halftime, but don't try a 55? I don't know about that call.

This sucks, because SD is irrelevant and won't even make the playoffs, yet they decide to play their best game. At least it makes an easy decision for Dungy on what to do in the last two games. I'd play the starters for a series against Seattle, then sit them. Then I'd play a half against Arizona with the starters, then sit them.

[LeftWideOpen]

NE will be playing Jacksonville in the first round, with Pittsburgh matching up against Cincinnati.

I think its gonna end up being Pittsburgh at Denver. I think Denver will lose to San Diego in their last game and Cincy wins out which puts them at #2. Either way I don't like Pittsburgh chances against either.

I think New England will end up going to Indy in the 2nd round, unless Pittsburgh pulls off an upset. Then they'd have to go play at Indy.

how is SD irrelevant? If they win their last 2 games and Pittsburgh loses just 1, they're in. Thats hardly irrelevant.

[still_life]

I'm pretty sure the Steelers could beat Cincy or Denver. Denver's been playing like shit lately.

[still_life]

how is SD irrelevant? If they win their last 2 games and Pittsburgh loses just 1, they're in. Thats hardly irrelevant.

SD still has to beat the Chiefs, who never seem to lose in Arrowhead in December. They're not relevant. The Steelers will win out and go to 11-5. SD most likely finishes 8th in a 6 team race.

NE at Indy would be a great game.

[still_life]

I'm sure those old geezers in Miami are jerking each other off right now. Lucky they only had to win 14 games in the regular season.

[Fullcollapse3k]

I'm sure those old geezers in Miami are jerking each other off right now.

Haha, that's what I was thinking earlier.

This blows, I really wanted to see Indy win out.

I think you need to rethink your views on relevance.

heres a definition: having no bearing on or connection with the subject at issue

SD is tied for the 6th spot ...they are certainly connected to the playoff picture and therefore today's game was relevant.

[Drew Beringer]

I'm sure those old geezers in Miami are jerking each other off right now. Lucky they only had to win 14 games in the regular season.

And only had to play two teams with winning records in 72.

[still_life]

SD is 7th right now. They're not going to do it. They still have to beat KC and Denver. Pittsburgh just has Cleveland and Detroit, plus they're playing their best football since September now.

Oh yeah, weakest SOS for any SB winner I believe. It's too hard to go undefeated in today's NFL. Look at today, if it was a 14 game season like back then, I'm sure the Colts would have went balls out to win this game then go into the playoffs. They could have definitely used their real d-line today. Though it looks like this game was lost on the o-line. No running holes, and pathetic pass protection. Manning never gets that many hurries and knockdowns in a game.

Yeah, I realize the odds are against SD and by no means is their playoff chances equal to Pittsburgh. But you're ignorant to say it cant happen. They just went on the road and beat a team trying to become the first undefeated team in 33 years. They can beat KC and Denver. Cleveland almost took out Cincy on the road last week and beat Chicago ..its by no mean a gimmie for Pittsburgh.

Bill Cowher owns Cleveland in case you didn't know.

so then i should cash your bet for New England beating Pittsburgh and Indy???

[still_life]

Seriously, what is with the stupid logic used by Seahawks/Patriots fans on this board?

Cleveland is not a good team.

[Drew Beringer]

This is how I see the AFC playoff seeding playing out:

1. Indianapolis 14-2 (They'll probably lose at Seattle because they'll sit starters)
2. Denver 13-3 (They win out)
3. Cincinnati 12-4 (Lose last game at KC, because they will sit starters)
4. New England 11-5 (They win out)
5. Jacksonville 12-4 (They win out)
6. Pittsburgh 11-5 (They win out)

First round:
Jacksonville at New England: NE wins, lack of experience kills Jacksonville.
Pittsburgh at Cincinnati: Pittsburgh upsets Cincy.

Second Round:
Pittsburgh at Indy: Indy wins
New England at Denver: Denver wins

AFC Championship:
Denver at Indianapolis: Indy wins in a close one.

its not rocket science.

You say: San Diego beating Indy was irrelevant.

I say: Irrelevant? No. Why? Because if SD can beat Indy, they're capable of beating KC and Denver, and Cleveland is capable of beating Pittsburgh.

You say: Cowher owns Cleveland.

I say: So New England is a sure thing to beat Indy and Pitt? Bellichek seems to "own" Cowher and Dungy.

I'm just using your logic there man.

not true, his logic is only applicable if it benefits peyton manning or the pittsburgh steelers. it's invalid in your useage.

Yeah I agree with all your seeds. Except I like Cincy over Pitt in the 1st round. 2nd round games are too close to call right now for me.

Agreed. I think there's a shot Cincy slips into that 2 spot, but it's unlikely. Fuckin' Jags, I hate that team.

[Drew Beringer]

Cincy has a tough game at KC in Week 17, today Cincy will clinch the division and sit their starters that game, so I'm assuming they'll lose. Same thing for Denver, they play at SD in Week 17, but I think they'll win that game. NE and Jacksonville will win out.

[Drew Beringer]

Pittsburgh will beat Cincy cause they are healthy now, and they almost beat Cincinnati a few weeks ago, so it'll be interesting.

I think if there's a shot they can get that 2 seed, they'll play their starters in KC.

Thing is, I don't think Cincy can win in KC even if they're playing all out.

No, you're talking out of your ass.

KC has won 17 games in a row in December at Arrowhead. Denver already beat San Diego once this year, and will probably need to win that game with Cincy breathing down their back.

Pittsburgh has two easy games left, and are playing their best football. SD killed themselves with the Miami loss, simple as that.

[Drew Beringer]

On the Colts subject, I rather have them go 15-1, 14-2 and win it all instead of going 16-0 and losing in the playoffs. The Colts will get their losses out of their system now and win it all in Detroit.

unless you're gonna make a major breakthrough and redefine possibility, you're the one talking out of your ass. I'm stating whats true, you're making assumptions.

Just admit its possible bro and this conversation is over. I happen to agree with your prediction on the end result.

Everything you quoted there is true though.

i can see your destined to be a stubborn fool. i'm not even talking football, i'm talking about mathematical possibilites and the definition of relevance. geez.

[still_life]

I don't care about the highly improbable.

[hockey0001]

The Dolphins beat the Patriots last year. Detroit or Cleveland could beat Pittsburgh this year. Flukes happen. Chargers are relevant.
