AFC WildCard: Colts at Ravens

[DeadlyDynasty]

1:00 EST. Line: Ravens (-7)...O/U=47. Joe Flacco has won more playoff games (6) than any other QB since he came into the league (2008). Rodgers and Roethlisberger are next in line w/ 5 each. If Luck and the Colts pull it off, they go to Denver next week in what would be the most publicized playoff game in years. My pick: Baltimore 27, Indy 17

[Blizzardwizard]

Don't care who wins this one, I'd like Indy to win being underdogs, but I'd also love to see Ray Lewis in the superbowl. I want Seattle to beat Washington though.

[Ghazi]

if I was a betting man, whcih I'm not because I quit sportsbetting, I'd take the Ravens. Love fading the public underdog... rookie QB on road, Indy statistical profile is very unimpressive. Seems to be a case of a bad team getting a lot of lucky wins. of course you can't take away their clutchness, but I digress.

Ravens are an average team themselves though.

[irishock]

League will give the Colts all the calls possible. They want that Manning vs Colts match up.

[TIMMYtoZO]

The winner of this game will get anal raped in Denver next week. The Ravens are Peyton Manning's bitch while the Colts stand even less of a chance.

[DeadlyDynasty]

yo D, you got one last Ray Lewis pregame speech in ya?

[DeadlyDynasty]

Bruce Arians in hospital due to flu.

[Raven]

it warms my heart to see pretty much the full Ravens D..

[DPG21920]

"Call a time out, call a time. out. .....I forgot my pre-game:

Ohhhhhh yaaa, it's the playoffs, what's the playoffs about? It means it's the opposite of the regular season. Win or go home. Now, Ima go home regardless after the game, we all are, but what kind of home you wanna go to? You wanna go to a home where you are a champion? I saiddddd, you wanna go home, kiss the kids and pop some popcorn as a champion? Now, we all champions in life, but this is football. This is what we live and die for, but we ain't dying yet. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Playofffffssssssssss"

[DeadlyDynasty]

:lol

[Bill_Brasky]

I hate these pussy ass PI calls.

[resistanze]

Epic fail Ravens.

[KoolAid Mans Brother]

"recovered by Indiana" :lmao

[DeadlyDynasty]

RR with the rare mistake

[Bill_Brasky]

Fumblerooski

[Darth_Pelican]

Freeman didn't have it

[Darth_Pelican]

Ray Lewis

[jeebus]

wow, these refs are turrible

[DPG21920]

"Doesn't look like a face mask to me" :lmao

[resistanze]

That motherfucker is hard to take down, wow.

[jeebus]

I guess there are no face mask calls today

[Darth_Pelican]

Reed usually makes that interception

[jeebus]

Ray Lewis is gonna murder someone if they don't get a stop

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Wow that turnover was a game changer.

[jeebus]

failtacular

[Horry For 3!]

Ravens get one back, Luck fumbles now.

[resistanze]

:lmao Long sustained drives ending in fumbles.

[Brunodf]

Are u kidding me?:bang

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

The AFC is so horrible, Patriots and Broncos are the only two teams in the AFC that even remotely belong in the playoffs.

[DPG21920]

Yes, that turnover hurt, but The Colts showed us all they can play in this game and move the ball. They will take their shots down field. If they can hold up at all on defense and this is close going into the fourth, you have to like their chances.

[Brunodf]

:lol

[Raven]

i don't think the colts have any chance tbh..

[DeadlyDynasty]

Ballard is running well. Luck's throws have been errant so far, but he'll settle in later.

[Darth_Pelican]

The under sure is looking good

[DPG21920]

i don't think the colts have any chance tbh..

I do. Their defense is doing well, they are able to get some running plays for positive yards and Luck will make big throws.

[Brunodf]

Horrible 1st quarter

[Raven]

I do. Their defense is doing well, they are able to get some running plays for positive yards and Luck will make big throws.

true, quite a balanced game for now. Still, I think the ravens should pull it off, I mean the pressure on Luck is crazy.

[DPG21920]

Ya, I don't think they are favorites or anything but after watching them play all year and this first quarter I feel like they have a legit shot barring any major meltdowns (like additional TO's in their half of the field...).

[jeebus]

lol

[resistanze]

lol @ Smith's hops

[DeadlyDynasty]

:lolGotta love how the network knows their audience...all beer and boner pills ads

[Darth_Pelican]

It must be the playoffs. The Ravens are dropping td passes.

[DPG21920]

Big stop by that defense on a drive that looked like a sure TD. Let's see if the Colts can answer.

[DPG21920]

:lmao Lewis should retire now mid-game.

[DeadlyDynasty]

lol Ray

[Darth_Pelican]

Lewis blew his moment!!!

[jeebus]

lol butterfingers

[Raven]

I can't believe he dropped that

[DPG21920]

Bad drop by Hilton. Sure first down.

[Horry For 3!]

A gift to Ray and he drops it.... ouch.

[KoolAid Mans Brother]

Ray forgot to wash the grease off his hands from his fried chicken lunch.

[resistanze]

They should start throwing on 2nd and long because God knows Flacco goes all Alex Smith on 3rd and long.

[DeadlyDynasty]

bad sack, outta fg range

[Bill_Brasky]

Det Ravens D.

[resistanze]

Denver: :lol

[Darth_Pelican]

Vinatieri still solid. 3-3

[DPG21920]

Big completion by Luck there to get them back into range. If they can go in tied at half, that is a huge win. You have to imagine Luck will calm down a little bit and have a few big plays. Question is can Colts D hold up - not sure. They are playing pretty well (even though Balt isn't really being very creative).

[Bill_Brasky]

Ever since he put on a Ravens uniform, Jacoby has been great.

[DeadlyDynasty]

What I like about Indy's play-calling is that they've taken a lot of shots downfield...sooner or later they're going to hit on a couple of those plays or get some DPI's.

[Bill_Brasky]

:lol the Ravens and their screens

[Darth_Pelican]

Waiting for DPG to rant how well 2 minute drills always work and how teams should run that offense all game

[DPG21920]

Massive Colts defense fail.

[Horry For 3!]

Leach with the rare TD.

[DPG21920]

Waiting for DPG to rant how well 2 minute drills always work and how teams should run that offense all game

You mad?

[benefactor]

Coke Machine ftw.

[Bill_Brasky]

Imagine how pathetic Flacco would look without all those busted screen plays they manage.

[DeadlyDynasty]

4th and 29-esque

[Darth_Pelican]

You mad?

No, I'm not disagreeing. There's no doubt that you have a solid argument.

[Darth_Pelican]

Wow big play there if Vinatieri can make this

[Bill_Brasky]

Huge.

[Clipper Nation]

:lol Ravens shitting all over themselves

I'm just bracing for the annoying Luck slurping when the Colts win this game, tbh...

[DeadlyDynasty]

Stealing momentum

[Raven]

Good ravens first half, Flacco also didn't suck all that much..

[Creepn]

:lol Ravens shitting all over themselves

I'm just bracing for the annoying Luck slurping when the Colts win this game, tbh...

Lol today their slurping ends.

[Brunodf]

:wow:wow:wow:wow:wow

[Clipper Nation]

Damn, Boldin!

[DPG21920]

lol that was some garabage.

[DeadlyDynasty]

That was a 2-man rush on 3rd and 19...worst defensive playcall ever

[Clipper Nation]

Ravens back in full choke mode, tbh...

[DPG21920]

Let's see if Luck has settled down and they can land a big play or two. As of now, Balt has had the biggest plays of the day.

[DPG21920]

OMG this o-line is awful :lol

[Raven]

wow, if Luck manages to get out of this game without an injury I'll be amazed.

[Creepn]

I have to admit, Luck is one sturdy qb.

[Nathan89]

Luck has .3 seconds to make something happen or it's a sack. WTF. Give him some time.

[blkroadrunners]

:wow Boldin!

[DeadlyDynasty]

Luck has .3 seconds to make something happen or it's a sack. WTF. Give him some time.

Worst pass-blocking I've ever seen.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Hold em to 3 here

[Darth_Pelican]

Hold them to a fg here or it's over

[DPG21920]

Great play by Flacco

[HI-FI]

ray lewis with the bionic commando arm

[DPG21920]

Hold them to a fg here or it's over

Colts have tons of comebacks this year. Not good obviously, but I am not counting them out just yet.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Hold them to a fg here or it's over
it's over...if you thought the O-line was bad before, just wait

[Raven]

Flacco brought it tbh.. this should be game.

[Clipper Nation]

Luck has .3 seconds to make something happen or it's a sack. WTF. Give him some time.
As a Chargerfan, welcome to our world for the past three years or so :lol

[DPG21920]

Laser beam.

[Nathan89]

That's a nice throw right there. Wow.

[DPG21920]

F*cking 10000 fine for every false start if I were an owner.

[DPG21920]

How did Luck make it to the playoffs with this o-line and run game?

[Clipper Nation]

How did Luck make it to the playoffs with this o-line and run game?
A crap division and lots of fluky close wins...

[DPG21920]

Nothing is fluky with this o-line TBH..

[Darth_Pelican]

Damn, a td there would have been big. FGs will kill you

[Nathan89]

Need a three and out to carry the momentum from this drive. Most likely will see a 45 yard bomb.

[Creepn]

A crap division and lots of fluky close wins...

It's funny because it's true.

[HI-FI]

A crap division and lots of fluky close wins...

this. that team has carried Luck more than he's carried them this season. he's a good young QB but no Peyton.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I'd really like to see Russell Wilson and RGknee attempt some of those tight window passes Luck completed on that drive.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

this game blows imho

[Nathan89]

this game blows imho

Just wait for the cowboys game then.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I like it when people equate close wins to fluky wins. It's not like being able to comeback and win games in the 4th quarter requires skill and toughness, it's just fluky luck (no pun intended)!

[Nathan89]

Fuck Yes!

[DPG21920]

Huge play!

[Brunodf]

:lol

[Darth_Pelican]

Gotta take advantage here

[Raven]

what a fumble

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Another tight window pass from Luck.

[Clipper Nation]

Ravens are once again in full out choke mode, tbh... the AFC blows...

[Bill_Brasky]

Rice with another huge turnover :wow

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

This offensive line is pathetic

[DPG21920]

Come on - not only can you not block, but you can't even not get penalized

[Creepn]

If Luck fails to get a td here...

[Clipper Nation]

Abortionball, tbh...

[BUMP]

penalzied

tee, hee

you spelt it wrong

[DPG21920]

If Luck were Vick with this pressure he'd have like 9 to's

[Darth_Pelican]

catch the fucking ball

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lmao another Indy drop on 3rd down, I'll bet the brothas think that's Luck's fault

[LnGrrrR]

Can Vinateiri win another playoff game for the Colts by himself? :lol

Ouch, I jinxed the man. Adam Not-amatic at the moment.

[DPG21920]

tee, hee

you spelt it wrong

No I didn't - you changed it. You will see no edit on my post.

[Darth_Pelican]

Game changing dropped pass

[Bill_Brasky]

:lmao :lmao

[Clipper Nation]

:lol

[DPG21920]

He shanked the bull outta det one..

[Raven]

Ravens are just not gonna allow a TD today..

[BUMP]

No I didn't - you changed it. You will see no edit on my post.

Deep, with the turnover, but not getting his head down, only one hustling back on defense, 3 on 1 and still swatting the layup out of the court, through the air, landing on someone's car, alarm going off, making up for the lazy pass etc

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

False starts, dropped passes, and missed field goals. Andrew Luck fuckin sucks he's lucky his supporting cast is so good.

[Nathan89]

Well that sucked. Penalty, dropped pass, missed fg.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Ravens are just not gonna allow a TD today..

Yeah, the Ravens great D caused Reggie Wayne to drop an open pass at the goal line on 3rd down. Very gritty on their part.

[Nathan89]

Big 3rd down here.

[HI-FI]

real talk...does CBS use some kind of canned audio for the crowd noise? i keep hearing this high pitched squealing on all their games. unless some female fan is getting bufu'd in the crowd...

[HI-FI]

crofl

[DPG21920]

:lol this defense

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Fuckin shitty ass Andrew Luck giving up that long 3rd down run. No way RG3 or Russell Wilson give that up.

[DPG21920]

Damn, Megatron Boldin.

[Darth_Pelican]

Boldin came to play today

[DPG21920]

Hat's off to Flacco - didn't kill the team and gave his guys chances to make plays and Boldin came up huge.

[Creepn]

Boldin just killing it today.

[LnGrrrR]

Game.

[DPG21920]

That missed FG off of the turnover was a major game changer.

[Nathan89]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBzJGckMYO4

[DPG21920]

Boldin has always been one of my favorite WR's. Tough as hell, great hands and competes his a** off.

[Clipper Nation]

:lol Luck slurpers in meltdown mode

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Boldin has always been one of my favorite WR's. Tough as hell, great hands and competes his a** off.

Yeah, trading him for a 4th round pick because they didn't wanna pay him so they could give Stewart Bradley a huge contract and then draft Michael Floyd in the 1st round because they have a giant hole at receiver was one of Whisenhunt/Graves' best decisions.

[HI-FI]

Yeah, trading him for a 4th round pick because they didn't wanna pay him so they could give Stewart Bradley a huge contract and then draft Michael Floyd in the 1st round because they have a giant hole at receiver was one of Whisenhunt/Graves' best decisions.
tbh, anyone who has their jaw knocked out and comes back to play, that's someone worth holding onto.

[DPG21920]

DPG's patented up tempo, 4 down offense working wonders.

[TIMMYtoZO]

Enjoy your final win of the year, Baltimore. Peyton Manning and company will end your season next Saturday along with the career of Ray Lewis.

[Creepn]

Comeback drive time! Or does it only work against shit teams like the jaguars?

[DPG21920]

Balt tackles so surely. First hit and down on most occasions. Pretty awesome.

[Clipper Nation]

If only Luck wasn't a monkeyballer with "jungle instincts".... oh wait, that's only trotted out when RG3's team loses :lol

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Comeback drive time! Or does it only work against shit teams like the jaguars?

It works against the Packers. The Jaguars are the team his defense gave up a comeback drive to.

[HI-FI]

Luck is getting ready to step it up in the 4th quarter.

I've noticed that Peyton's cock has been placed deep down your throat and it hasn't left ever since his baby brother shit the bed this year and got eliminated. Maybe you and the Manning brothers should coordinate a circle jerk together.

[Bill 'Jesus' Snyder]

If only Luck wasn't a monkeyballer with "jungle instincts".... oh wait, that's only trotted out when RG3's team loses :lol

It's alright Clipper Nation. Just pray for DoK to see the light. After you're done praying, pray again. Then masturbate to the thought of praying a third time.

I was there on a cold rainy night in 2003. I never lost faith. Keep believing my son.

[DPG21920]

Wow, Avery.

[resistanze]

fail challenge

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

That retarded decision by Avery to flip the ball out as a means of looking cool was another example of Luck's great supporting cast.

[Clipper Nation]

It's alright Clipper Nation. Just pray for DoK to see the light. After you're done praying, pray again. Then masturbate to the thought of praying a third time.

:lmao

[Darth_Pelican]

This challenge is not worth the risk

[Darth_Pelican]

Stupid challenge

[DPG21920]

So many drops. Terrible challenge.

[Creepn]

It works against the Packers. The Jaguars are the team his defense gave up a comeback drive to.

I'm I going to see a comeback drive or not? That is what Luck slurpers are using to justify ROY.

[Clipper Nation]

Wow, Luck running? What a monkeyballer :lol

[DPG21920]

I'm I going to see a comeback drive or not? That is what Luck slurpers are using to justify ROY.

IIRC I thought it was the passing yards record and taking a team to the playoffs that was the worst of all the top QB rookie teams.

[LnGrrrR]

4th and fail coming up...

[HI-FI]

tight window pass

[Darth_Pelican]

:lmao

[resistanze]

Game.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I'm I going to see a comeback drive or not? That is what Luck slurpers are using to justify ROY.

I've never used the comeback drive argument, it's pretty lame. A win is a win and a loss is a loss. A comeback win doesn't mean more than a normal win. My argument for ROY is that he took a team that went 2-14 last year to an 11 win season. How he got the 11 wins doesn't mean anything to me.

But to answer your question, no. His receivers suck.

[LnGrrrR]

Called that. Stupid playcall, bad pass. Way to go empty backfield on 4th and 1.

[DPG21920]

Bad throw by Luck. Just like Schuab's yesterday.

[Clipper Nation]

:lol Luck

[Darth_Pelican]

Ray Lewis leads his team with 12 tackles today

[resistanze]

How is that a penalty? WTF?

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lmao another dropped perfectly thrown pass from Luck

[HI-FI]

lol
thanks Goodell

[resistanze]

NVM his helmet caught him

[Darth_Pelican]

Bullshit chant :lmao

[DPG21920]

:lol It's like the o-line quit on Luck or something

[Darth_Pelican]

another dropped perfect pass

[DPG21920]

You have to make that catch. Luck escapes, delivers a bullet and you drop it?

[Floyd Pacquiao]

another perfect pass dropped lol

[Raven]

imho luck actually played very well given the circumstances.. The loss is not on him by any means..

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lol It's like the o-line quit on Luck or something

So did the receivers :lol

[HI-FI]

I think Goodell has worked with Stern on how to use refs tbh

[Darth_Pelican]

stay classy Baltimore fans

[Clipper Nation]

I think Goodell has worked with Stern on how to use refs tbh
Bring back the replacement refs tbh....

[DPG21920]

I think Goodell has worked with Stern on how to use refs tbh

Que? That was an obvious helmet to helmet hit and no one complained about the taunting on Balt..

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lol Luck

:lol you'd do backflips if the Chargers could trade Philbilly for Luck

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

stay classy Baltimore fans

They live in Baltimore so I don't hold it against them.

[DPG21920]

Well, as bad as this is at least you don't have Phillip Rivers at QB for your franchise.

[Creepn]

I'm seeing more shitty passing and poor decisions than dropped passes.

[Clipper Nation]

:lol you'd do backflips if the Chargers could trade Philbilly for Luck
No shit, nearly everyone's better than Philbilly :lol

[DPG21920]

I'm seeing more shitty passing and poor decisions than dropped passes.

Are you watching a Cam Newton replay?

[Darth_Pelican]

How fitting that a dropped pass ends it

[DPG21920]

:wow Ballard

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I'm seeing more shitty passing and poor decisions than dropped passes.

rofl you probably think Vic Ballard drop on 4th down was Luck's fault

[Creepn]

Shitty pass to Ballard.

[resistanze]

Receivers are terrible. Some good fortune and favorable schedule made this 8-8 team 11-5.

[HI-FI]

tbh, in defense of Luck, Peyton's guys dropped tons of big plays during his time with the colts. Peyton would've had more playoff victories if not for his receiving corp turning into pussies at times.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:wow Ballard

It's like the whole offense decided to quit on Luck :lol

[DPG21920]

Too obvious ^

You don't know the art of subtle goods tbh imvho

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Shitty pass to Ballard.

This is why you're the most racist person on this site.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

tbh, in defense of Luck, Peyton's guys dropped tons of big plays during his time with the colts. Peyton would've had more playoff victories if not for his receiving corp turning into pussies at times.

But you said in this very thread Luck's supporting cast carried him this season. I'm assuming they played well today right?

[Clipper Nation]

Are you watching a Cam Newton replay?
:lol

[Creepn]

rofl you probably think Vic Ballard drop on 4th down was Luck's fault

He threw it too far out for a running back already in motion. Ballard had to change course about 30 degrees to reach out for it. Throw it better next time.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

He threw it too far out for a running back already in motion. Ballard had to change course about 30 degrees to reach out for it. Throw it better next time.
It literally went right through his hands.

[Creepn]

It literally went right through his hands.

Ballard lost his footing trying to change course to catch it.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Colts need to spend all 45 million of their cap space on O-line. Holy hell Luck gets no time

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I'm pretty surprised more teams don't go 11-5 every year. The way RGknee and Russell Wilson fans claim you just need luck (not the quarterback, the other kind of luck) and a favorable schedule, it seems really easy. Surprised the Colts couldn't go 11-5 last year.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Ballard lost his footing trying to change course to catch it.
Ballard was running towards the sidelines where the ball was being thrown. You're clearly not watching the same game

[HI-FI]

But you said in this very thread Luck's supporting cast carried him this season. I'm assuming they played well today right?
tbh, I think Luck is a bit overrated, but also a good young QB. I think his team played well, and carried him at times, becuase of the Chuckstrong shit. They were a motivated team this year. But Luck deserves credit for his part, he's a good young QB i just think he hasn’t played as well as the hype suggests.

I don't blame this loss on him, though he could've played better at times. his team did drop some big passes, but i saw this same thing with Peyton's teams. Truth be told, Colts are playing above their means, they aren't very good, even during Peyton's last few years.

[Creepn]

They tanked. Doesn't count.

[LnGrrrR]

:lmao another dropped perfectly thrown pass from Luck

That was a poor decision to throw to him.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I think his team played well, and carried him at times, becuase of the Chuckstrong shit. They were a motivated team this year.

:lmao this is the biggest crock of shit I've ever seen. You're seriously trying to claim that Luck's head coach getting cancer and missing most of the season is what "carried him." The logic behind that is as backwards as it gets.

I hope Bill Belichick gets diagnosed with cancer tomorrow, it'll all but lock up another New England superbowl.

[Clipper Nation]

In reality, Luck is good, but he's not God's gift to football, nor is he far-and-away better than RG3 or Wilson.... kill the hype, imho....

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

In reality, Luck is good, but he's not God's gift to football, nor is he far-and-away better than RG3 or Wilson.... kill the hype, imho....

He (and RG3 for that matter) is far and away better than Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson lives off play action and is incapable of pocket passing.

Both Luck and Rg3 are really good, but Luck fits passes into windows that I've never seen RG3 throw into because he sees a lot more wide open receivers than Luck does.

[Creepn]

It doesn't matter what play packages they use as long as it works.

[DPG21920]

In reality, Luck is good, but he's not God's gift to football, nor is he far-and-away better than RG3 or Wilson.... kill the hype, imho....

Don't be stupid.

[Creepn]

Don't be stupid.

You don't be stupid.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Luck was carried to the playoffs by the 26th ranked defense, 22nd ranked rush offense, worst offensive line, and 4 of his top 6 offensive weapons being rookies who have multiple drops a game?:rollin

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Luck was carried to the playoffs by the 26th ranked defense, 22nd ranked rush offense, and 4 of his top 6 receivers being rookies who have multiple drops a game?:rollin

His coach got cancer and missed most of the season which carried him. I'm just surprised why Bruce Arians getting sick and missing this game didn't motivate Indy more.

[Creepn]

Yup. Helps with an easy schedule.

so what do you think has led to Colts turnaround? Luck's passer rating? his 23 TDs and 18 Ints?

[DeadlyDynasty]

so what do you think has led to Colts turnaround? Luck's passer rating? his 23 TDs and 18 Ints?

His 7 4th quarter comebacks/GW drives

[Clipper Nation]

Tbh, I'd say a weak AFC helped get the Colts into the playoffs....

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

so what do you think has led to Colts turnaround? Luck's passer rating? his 23 TDs and 18 Ints?

Wow. You're seriously trying to argue Chuck Pagano getting cancer and missing games played a bigger role in the Colts' turnaround than Andrew Luck's passing. I'm speechless.

[Creepn]

His 7 4th quarter comebacks/GW drives

LMAO! You see!

[resistanze]

I think Luck was pretty good in his first outing (...he's a rookie), didn't expect much with that core. They should be serious contenders with that cap space.

But yeah, this Colts team isn't that good yet. They were the only playoff team with a negative point differential (and only 11 win team in history to have a (-)ve differential). I think they won 9 of their 11 games by less than a TD and 9-1 overall in game decided by a TD or less (which honestly is more of an anomaly than simple 'clutchness'). Easiest schedule in the NFL. Still a great season, but let's put it into perspective.

I'm not really interested in the rookie QB wankfest rivalry. The NFL is gonna be fun to watch with these new crop of QBs (namely Luck and RG3), tbh.

I seriously can't believe y'all are denying the power of Chuckstrong. The chiefs even won a game after a tragedy.

Wow, can't believe how many stupid posters we have here.

People like HI-FI are needed for schools to fill the remedial classes justifying public funding.

Tbh, I'd say a weak AFC helped get the Colts into the playoffs....

FYI, Luck's win % against NFC teams is higher than his win % against AFC teams.

Regardless of how weak the AFC is, the Colts were the worst team in the AFC last year and the 5th best team this year. Either the rest of the AFC got a lot worse in 1 off season, or the Colts got a lot better for 1 reason or another.

I don't think the AFC got that much worse, and I don't think Chuck Pagano getting cancer made the Colts any better.

You don't be stupid.

That doesn't make any sense.

How come the Chargers couldn't use the emotion from Seau's death to make a SuperBowl run? Look at that emotional wave they missed out on!

[Pelicans78]

The Colts weren't a good team at all. Rookie QB, below average in a lot of positions. They happened to win a ton of close games against bad teams. Luck was a big part of that. He's only gonna get better.

So the Chiefs winning 1 home game against a 7-9 team after a tragedy is your proof that the Colts won 11 games because of a tragedy?

Chargers were in the playoff race last year. Their division winner won 8 games.

[Creepn]

Stop bringing up a tanked record to prop up Luck shit!

This. Plus they do have a shit ton of money (45+ mil) to surround Luck with better talent. Top FA should be packing their bags to Indy

Creepn - did you every play football?
