Chargers @ Colts Game Thread

[TheSanityAnnex]

Plans for the Chargers: Do what they've done the last two meetings.......................win.

[slayermin]

This should be a great game. Even more so if Gates can play.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Still haven't heard an update on the severity of his injury.

[slayermin]

On Yahoo, he's listed with a sprained big toe and is questionable at Indy. He counts on his athlecisim to create separation or jump for passes. The injury doesn't sound too bad but it could hurt his effectiveness in running routes and jumping.

[TheSanityAnnex]

All I've heard so far is that Gates xrays were negative. Severe sprain, no word on playing status.

Severe sprain. That doesn't sound good.

[TheSanityAnnex]

I'm expecting 4 of these come Sunday.

Yep I think SD upsets Indy... and maybe even NE. With the talent on SD they might be able to pull it together. Funny how a team that was expected to do something the year before and they fall, that they are able to get over the hump the next year.

You are right. It's the added motivation of paradise lost.

I will save my comments about the possible Pats/Chargers matchup until it actually is set in stone.

[slayermin]

ex: Pitt and Indy.

Here are some other examples of teams that came back to win Super Bowls after huge playoff disappointments.

'02 Bucs
'97 Broncos
'96 Packers
'94 49ers
'92 Cowboys
'90 Giants
'85 Bears
'77 Cowboys
'72 Dolphins
'71 Cowboys
'70 Colts
'69 Chiefs

Peyton will just throw the 6 int's he's supposed to throw.

Chargers win! Let's go

Dude you're a shit eating moron if you think the Chargers D is going to get six pickoffs again. I lulzed at Phil Simms fellate the Chargers D and their 30 pickoffs saying how their stats were so far ahead of everyone else today. Fuck off. The Chargers D and especially Anthony Cromartie are fucking overrated specifically because of the Indy game. I expect a good game, but the Chargers shouldn't be too confident coming into this game because they realize their special teams won them that game and their offense got rocked by Indy's D all night.

[timvp]

I'd be shocked if the Colts lose this game. They played as bad as possible against the Chargers the last time and still almost pulled it out. The Chargers have too many choke-prone parts. Norv Turner, Philip Rivers, Chris Chambers -- this aren't exactly the guys I'd pick to go to war with, especially with Gates likely out.

Only way the Chargers pull this out is if LT carries the team ... but LaDirkian doesn't strike me as a big game player, either.

I'm curious!!!

Imo, Dwight Freeney is the best pass rusher in the NFL, especially on the turf. No Dwight Freeney this time.

Colts are #1 in points allowed and may as well be #1 against the pass since they were #2 and Tampa was eliminated today. . . and they played half the season without Freeney. Clearly his injury set them back a few years.

ticked off much, chargers are underdogs and to win the superbowl it starts with beating the defending champs.

[timvp]

who do you trust on the other team to go to war with?
I'm curious!!!Peyton's nvts dropped sometime last year and he finally played well in the playoffs. I like the Addai/Keith combo. Reggie Wayne is better than the entire Chargers receiving corps. And Bob Sanders is probably the best player either team has on defense ... now that Merriman is off the juice.

[dirk4mvp]

And Bob Sanders is probably the best defensive player in football..

[timvp]

Imo, Dwight Freeney is the best pass rusher in the NFL, especially on the turf. No Dwight Freeney this time.Freeney didn't have much of an impact on that game because it was on grass and it was raining. Of course Freeney would be really nice to have in this upcoming game but the Colts should be able to win it regardless.

[KidCongo]

Chambers sure choked today in his first playoff game

[slayermin]

Freeney didn't have much of an impact on that game because it was on grass and it was raining. Of course Freeney would be really nice to have in this upcoming game but the Colts should be able to win it regardless.

Freeney draws double teams. The Colts really don't have anyone else that commands that type of respect.

It should be a great game because I don't know if the Chargers are really ready. But I think they have some very talented athletes on their team and are more than capable of winning in Indy.

[J.T.]

You've seen Freeney play more than I have. Are you telling me I'm wrong about him being the best pass rusher in the NFL?

He was probably the best pass rusher in the NFL this season before he got hurt, but last season he had an average year. If he didn't get hurt I think the Colts would have finished a lot stronger than they did defensively, which is scary considering they are probably the best all around defense left in the playoffs. I think Jacksonville might get exposed a little against NE since the Pats don't run the ball much. But snow or freezing rain might force the Pats to rely on Maroney more than they would otherwise, which would probably be the gamebreaker for them against Jacksonville.

I'm just saying, "No Dwight Freeney" is definitely not a game breaker for the Colts against the Chargers. Maybe against NE, but definitely not against the Chargers. Josh Thomas has done an admirable job filling in for him.

[John Patrick]

so i guess Bob Sanders is supposed to be allowed to roam free?

[J.T.]

ticked off much, chargers are underdogs and to win the superbowl it starts with beating the defending champs.

What ticks me off is asshats like you thinking Peyton throwing six picks against San Diego in a game where he was throwing to Reggie Wayne, a guy who's name literally is "Crap (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/7292)" and Aaron fucking Moorehead is somehow typical. You do not understand how phenomenally different the game is going to be with Harrison, Clark and Gonzalez in the line up. SD should consider itself lucky as hell that they picked Manning off six times and somehow did not lose that game as badly as their offense was dominated.

[BeerIsGood!]

I hope we see a Chargers-Jags AFC championship game.

Take away the 6 picks the Chargers had against Manning and they still lead the league in interceptions with 24. Fuck off.





I expect a good game, but the Chargers shouldn't be too confident coming into this game because they realize their special teams won them that game and their offense got rocked by Indy's D all night.And Indy's offense was rocked by the Chargers D, minus a healthy Jamal Williams and Luis Castillo. Manning is a bitch under pressure, the league knows this, and the Chargers will be bringing heat all game long, unlike what you saw today. I find it funny that Colts fan are looking past the Chargers and thinking about the Pats, I guarantee you the Colts aren't doing the same.

Is Harrison fully fit?

Clark adds alot IMO

6 picks is alot and they aren't all just because of the quality of the reciever.

I guess in San Diego they consider "holding" a team to 386 yards total offense and two TDs getting rocked. Peyton nutted all over your faces as soon as that worthless bitch Charlie Johnson got injured and was replaced on the line. Charger fan talking shit because Darren Sproles had a career day and Vinatieri/Dungy choked. You have absolutely nothing to be proud about that win for.

[TheSanityAnnex]

And you are proud of the loss? :lmao

[KidCongo]

And still dominating.

:clap

[J.T.]

Dallas Clark was supposed to start that game and was benched as a game time decision. When you spend a week practicing with a go-to guy like Clark and suddenly he is not in the game, that forces you to throw to guys you don't have many reps with. QB-WR timing is important, and aside from the tipped pass that was picked, that's what the other four early pickoffs were. Bad timing with receivers Peyton doesn't usually throw to. So you can fuck off now.

[J.T.]

And you are proud of the loss? :lmao

As fucked up as it sounds, yeah. We played one of the absolute worst games of the seasons and for all intents and purposes were in great position to win. Then they take away our first down and Vinatieri shanks a kick.

[KidCongo]

[J.T.]

That kind of thing happens all the time. Player gets some reps in practice and then the trainers play it safe and yank them before kickoff. You're an idiot.

[J.T.]

And the Charger offense played one of their worst, and won. Congrats on your moral victory.

Whatever you want to tell yourself to sleep better at night. The Colts defense obviously didn't play a fluke game. The offense did. You do the math. It's going to be a long week.

[san antonio spurs]

harrisson chokes more than peyton come playoff time, yes it's possible to choke more than manning when it matters, so how JT thinks having him will impact the game is beyond me.
Wayne and Addai are your clutch players, if they play, you'll win. If any of the two doesn't, the Bolts win.

[TheSanityAnnex]

It's going to be a long week.No shit it will be a long week. I can already see you'll respond to anything and make excuses about regular season losses. Should be quite entertaining.

[TheSanityAnnex]

I'm still wondering what makes JT so confident against the Chargers?

[J.T.]

Some reps or a week practicing with a go to guy, make up your mind.

What difference does it make? He practiced, then they yanked him before kickoff to play it safe like they've done with every injured player this year. Then Peyton has to throw to guys he didn't get reps in practice with, and it showed. It's not hard, but I can understand why you don't get it.

It's not hard, but I can understand why you don't get it.If they were playing it safe, I'm assuming Dungy had enough sense to maybe give the back up a couple of reps during practice. Maybe. :lol


Again though, why are we arguing excuses?

[J.T.]

I'm still wondering what makes JT so confident against the Chargers?

-Darren Sproles got two return TDs in the Week 10 game. That more than likely will not happen again.
-Vinatieri shanked two kicks he should have made. The first one I can see why he missed it since they were running the fire drill, but the second he should have made. That more than likely will not happen again.
-Peyton was picked off six times and that slowed the offense down the entire first half. With his top receivers healthy this time, that will not happen again.
-The Colts D contained LT to what like 75 yards on 21 carries? Puh-leeze.
-The Colts DBs have the size to match up with SD's receivers, and will play them physical.
-The Colts have the edge in coaching, multiplied by 10 to the power of 5.

Any other questions? With Gates hurt, I can't see the Chargers pulling it out. All the homerism between us aside, the Colts have the better team.

Yeah last I checked Wayne's not on the injury report at all and Addai said in an interview he feels as healthy as he did in Week 1, so good call there. Harrison commands defensive attention no matter what. It might play in favor of the Colts because teams may think he's not 100% since he hasn't played since October and get burned.

As much as I hate JT and his homerism, I agree.

The Colts have the edge in this game, but if they get past it and if NE gets past the Jags, the Colts will get smoked. JT should be happy with one playoff win this season and his bandwagoning ass should get ready to wear the Pats colors next season.

[J.T.]

Yeah teams really try to run the ball when they're down by 16 early in the game.

You should quit grabbing at straws man. The Chargers win earlier this year is the exception to the rule and you somehow believe that it's the rule.

[TheSanityAnnex]

And the year before?

[J.T.]

Bostonguy sighting! Let me post for him.

The Pats are the best team EVER! Even if the Colts beat the Chargers they will get owned by the greatest qb ever Tom Brady and the God of Gods coach Bill Bellacheck.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Yeah teams really try to run the ball when they're down by 16 early in the game.

You should quit grabbing at straws man. The Chargers win earlier this year is the exception to the rule and you somehow believe that it's the rule.Same amount of carries as LT, less yards. Did I grab the big straw?

[bostonguy]

I expect the Colts to win this game. A choking Charger team shouldnt have the honor of dethroning the Colts. That honor should be for the Patriots 2 weeks from today in Foxboro! Colts will win this game.

[J.T.]

TSA might be more of a homer than me. Wow. I am shocked.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Yeah, my LT avatar totally gives me away.

[J.T.]

I see what you did there.

[TheSanityAnnex]

I'm looking forward to this game. San Diego seems to give Manning trouble with their pass rush, which wasn't used today at all. I'm expecting big days from Sean and Shaun.

[san antonio spurs]

I never said they were on IR, I was just telling you that those two are the ones who matter in the postseason.
And I'm glad you are not a blind homer and you realize how much of chokers peyton and Marvin are.

If you call leading an 18 point comeback victory while nutting all over the Patriots choking then yeah I guess you're right.

Brady fumbled.

[monosylab1k]

Colts win easy. Seriously, six interceptions and you barely squeak out a win in the most pathetic fashion possible?

I'd love nothing more than for the Chargers to win this game, because that guarantees that the Patriots are in the Super Bowl.

[TheSanityAnnex]

When was the last time the Colts beat the Chargers?

[san antonio spurs]

2004 when Manning broke the TD record.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Ahh yes......the one where you squeaked by in OT.
You are nervous, admit it.

JT seems loyal, don't confuse him with Mono.
It's called sarcasm.
He choosed to forget all those years when peyton and marvin would choke time and time again. Heck he was a choker even last year in the wild card and divisional games.
as for his loyalty... who am I to judge??

[J.T.]

Ahh yes......the one where you squeaked by in OT.
You are nervous, admit it.

Sure I'm nervous, SD is a good team that's beaten us recently. But the most recent game proved that the Colts D can contain the Chargers offense. I am not that worried with healthy receivers this time around. You seem to think I should be paranoid about having to play the Bolts... I'm not. Get over it.

[KidCongo]

Chargers D can create turnovers and if the running game is on song they can control tempo.

That appears to be a healthy Reggie Wayne there. I thought all the interceptions were because Manning was throwing to third stringers?

I said 4 of the first 5 were because his timing was off. Even future HOF QB Philip Rivers would have got picked on that last deep ball that was picked. Good god can you even read.

Peyton's nvts dropped sometime last year and he finally played well in the playoffs. I like the Addai/Keith combo. Reggie Wayne is better than the entire Chargers receiving corps. And Bob Sanders is probably the best player either team has on defense ... now that Merriman is off the juice.

Dungy seems to give the Chargers more credit than JT.

“People have told me we’re healthier and we’re playing better and I believe that’s true,” Dungy said. “I don’t think we’ll play a game like we played out there, but I think San Diego’s better. They were in the process of finding themselves, too, early in the year. I think they’re pretty grooved, with a seven-game winning streak and knowing what they do well. They’ve looked pretty good in the last few weeks to me."

What have I said about the Chargers other than they only won because of some rare fucking mistakes that won't happen again? Pfft. Obviously making the second round means they are a good team.

I'd rate them about even right now, with Cutler having the higher upside. Rivers can still be a very good QB, but he has to stop playing like Eli.

When the Chargers are bad, it seems everybody wants to trade up that year.

LT, Rivers, Merriman, Brees, Kaeding for Vick and Eli. That's two deals where the Chargers raped the other team, with two different GMs no less.

I'd wish the Lions were as lucky, but it's pointless if Millen is still making the picks.

A.J Smith is a top GM when it comes to drafting. Wonder how he will deal with Turner..

[TheSanityAnnex]

Brees also netted us a pick in the next draft which bolstered the oline.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Turner could have been a great trade piece before this season started, but after going 14-2 you can't get rid of a great backup in case of a Tomlinson injury, although, Sproles has shown he can manage the backup role quite well. I'm excited to see Turner get a full time role and hope to see more of him this next game vs. the Colts.

Gates is day to day. I'm hoping he can take the field to at least play as a decoy to free up other receivers.

Smith is excellent when to comes to the draft.

Sanity seems a little to confident over regular season victories, especially this years. Colts have mostly the same team they had last year, even there new starters were on the team last year and there rooks have been good. They have the experence and know and know they can play a better game than early in the year against the chargers.

Why would I be scared of the Colts, I'm not playing. Am I scared for my team? Not in the least bit. The previous two matchups will back up my stance. The Chargers were underdogs in both, yet pulled off two W's. As Dungy said, the team that beat his team earlier in the year is a much different, more confident, and better team than before. I have respect for the Colts (minus JT), but I don't fear them. I'll fearlessly be watching the game from my couch.

Its not like teams playing head games with the injury report is anything new, i mean tom brady has has "shoulder- probable" for like his entire career. I would trust the newspaper over the team because teams have been known to lie about injuries.

The chargers also want indy to prepare for gates and it might waste some of their time if they practice for him and he doesn't play, but indy is a smart team i dont think they will fall for it.

With Gates likely out, it will be interesting to see how Nanee does filling in for him. Nanee, in the limited time I've seen him, has shown some promise and has very good hands, plus he is similar in size to Gates. The only reason I'm not devastated by the loss of Gates (imagine the Colts losing Wayne or the Pats losing Moss) is because the Colts have covered TE's better than anyone in the league.

For the Chargers, losing Gates is akin to the Colts losing Reggie Wayne or the Patriots losing Randy Moss – he’s their go-to guy.

I read that exact article on a Chargers board last night. It makes a lot of sense so I mentioned some parts I found interesting here in the thread titled "Chargers vs. Colts". Did I copy and paste anything? I wasn't aware that sharing information learned from another website was referred to as being "exposed".





Gates or no Gates, Colts shut down TEs
Cold, Hard Football Facts for January 8, 2008

By Jonathan Comey
Cold, Hard Football Facts Gates-keeper

The status of Antonio Gates for Sunday’s Chargers at Colts game will be one of the stories of the week.

According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Gates will “almost certainly” miss the game at Indianapolis, a huge blow to San Diego. But the Chargers, as they should, are keeping him active and making the Colts at least plan for the possibility he'll play.

For the Chargers, losing Gates is akin to the Colts losing Reggie Wayne or the Patriots losing Randy Moss – he’s their go-to guy.

Gates, after all, has represented more than a quarter of San Diego’s passing offense over his four-year run as a full-time starter:

* 2004: 964 yards (27.4 percent)
* 2005: 1,101 yards (29.5 percent)
* 2006: 924 yards (27.1 percent)
* 2007: 984 yards (31 percent)

And he’s represented an even greater chunk of San Diego’s passing touchdowns:

* 2004: 13/29 (44.8 percent)
* 2005: 10/27 (37 percent)
* 2006: 9/24 (37.6 percent)
* 2007: 9/22 (40.9 percent)

That’s an awful lot of production to lose from one player, especially when there’s no reason to believe that backup TE Brandon Manumaleuna (10 TDs in 110 games, including 62 starts) can even begin to replace him.

However, there is a very small silver lining to Gates’ probable absence – their opponent, Indianapolis, has been incredibly tough on tight ends this year.

The Colts’ pass defense numbers are truly bizarre, but quite good. They’re not going to sack you (28, tied for 26th), and they’re not going to force a lot of incompletions (65.3 percent complete against them, 29th). Basically, if you want to throw a short slant or quick turnaround route, they’ll let you do it. Hell, they want you to do it.

But in the end, only Pittsburgh (5.7 yards per pass, unadjusted for sacks) allowed fewer yards per pass than Indy (5.9), because the Colts led the league in yards-per-catch allowed by a longshot.

The average completion against the Colts went for 9.0 yards, almost a yard lower of No. 2 Tennessee and 2.4 yards lower than the league average.

And the Colts were very, very stingy against tight ends.

In most seasons, tight ends average somewhere between 10 and 11 yards a catch league-wide. But the Colts limited TEs to 559 yards on 70 catches this year – 7.99 yards per grab, in keeping with Indy's overall lockdown on long passes.

And here’s the best stat: the Colts didn’t allow a tight end a catch of 20+ yards until Tennessee’s Ben Hartsock stretched out for a 21-yarder in that meaningless Week 17 loss at home.

Gates, in his first meeting with the Colts, caught 3 passes for 26 yards. Kansas City's great Tony Gonzalez caught 4 for 46 yards in a 13-10 Indy victory in November.

The Panthers, in a 31-7 October loss to Indy, produced 11 tight end catches for 96 yards against the Colts, the only standout game by an opposing TE group. Overall, the Colts held 14 of 16 opponents under 60 total TE yards.

Are the Chargers better off without Gates? Of course not. But last week against Tennessee, their passing offense took off after Gates went out with his toe injury. WRs Vincent Jackson and Chris Chambers both went over 100 yards, after both failed to do so once during the regular season in San Diego.

That was surely more of a fluke than a trend, but it at least should give Norv Turner a shove in that direction vs. Indy.

San Diego's game plan figures to be a lot of LaDainian Tomlinson and whatever the Colts will give them through the air.

Which, regardless of Gates’ status, doesn’t figure to be much to the tight ends.



Yeah, I really got exposed for taking a single idea out of the article and agreeing with it. Does the article mention Nanee too? :rolleyes

and their posters of course.

[TheSanityAnnex]

What ticks me off is asshats like you thinking Peyton throwing six picks against San Diego in a game where he was throwing to Reggie Wayne, a guy who's name literally is "Crap (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/7292)" and Aaron fucking Moorehead is somehow typical. You do not understand how phenomenally different the game is going to be with Harrison, Clark and Gonzalez in the line up. SD should consider itself lucky as hell that they picked Manning off six times and somehow did not lose that game as badly as their offense was dominated.You've made it seem the whole time that the Chargers only got six picks because Manning was throwing to backups.

A poster over at the Chargers board Onyournrvs breaks it down for you.



Pick #1 - 11:22 in the first quarter, Manning tries to force a pass to WR Moorehead in the endzone...into QUADRUPLE coverage. Cro dives for the ball and comes up with the pick (stay in the endzone, kid!). Now, I know that Manning is arguably the best QB in the league, but COME ON!!! Quadruple coverage? That was just a bonehead mistake on his part. Fault - Manning

Pick #2 - 9:35 in the first quarter, Manning attempts to dump a pass off to TE Fletcher. Shaun Phillips read Manning the whole way, put himself between Manning and his target, jumped up, tipped the ball and came down with the pick. A tremendous individual effort on the part of Phillips and another bonehead play by Peyton. Fault - Manning

Pick #3 - 2:16 in the first quarter (is the 1st quarter over yet?!), Manning severely underthrows veteran WR Reggie Wayne. Cro makes a turn and dives for the ball, scooping it up like the pro bowl corner he is. Another bonehead play by the best quarterback in the league. Fault - Manning

Pick #4 - 14:24 in the second quarter. If the 49ers have "The Catch" this is "The Pick". Attempting to throw a pass over Cro's head to veteran WR Reggie Wayne (in single coverage mind you), Cro leaps up and makes arguably the most gorgeous one-handed interception in recent history. Manning had to have been stunned to see Cro get up there and make that grab. Bad throw by Peyton. He should have known better than to go to that side. Stupid Peyton. Fault - Manning

Pick #5 - 11:00 in the third quarter. Manning once again tries to force a pass to WR Moorehead this time into TRIPLE coverage! Instead of Moorehead, he throws the ball straight into the hands of Matt Wilhelm. Stupid, stupid pass. Fault - Manning

Pick #6 - 0:09 in the fourth quarter. Desperate now for any kind of game winning miracle, Manning heaves the ball to anyone willing to catch it. Apparently the Colts receivers weren't interested, so Clinton Hart went ahead and grabbed it. Desperate times call for stupid throws. Fault - Manning
It appears throwing to third stringers didn't have much to do with it at all.

And your comment about how Gonzalez would have made an impact..........how many total catches did the rookie have coming into the Chargers game? :lol

[J.T.'s Agent]

My client, J.T., would like me to remind you that the two picks on Moorehead were in multiple coverages, as you just pointed out there. Moorehead was playing Harrison's position since Gonzalez was also out in that game, and he is clearly not on the same level as Harrison. According to Tom Condon, a friend of mine who just happens to be Harrison's agent, Harrison can catch passes while covered by multiple guys. He's just that good. He's been known to nut all over the secondaries of many teams. Tom wanted me to remind you guys that Harrison was the first guy to score on Deion Sanders, and that you all can only dream of holding this man's nuts one day. So obviously, according to my good friend Tom and reiterated by J.T., you would see a much different game if Harrison had played that. Because you could put the entire secondary on him and he will still eat you alive.

As for the last interception, J.T. implores you to check NFL video archives of last second deep balls thrown in comeback situations. This happens a lot. J.T., admittedly not a Chargers fan, assumes that future HOF QB Phil Rivers has probably done this five times already, and if he hasn't is likely to do it many more times than Manning will for the rest of his career, so you really have no leg to stand on here.

However, J.T. will concede that the Colts did get owned by Cromartie on those two picks when he was covering Wayne, and the tipped INT by Phillips. Great plays, says J.T. He has nothing to say about those, they're just that good.

At the end of the day my personal opinion is that on Sunday, Manning is more likely to find the end zone six times than the hands of guys wearing white. If you would like to relay anything back to J.T., please send me a PM and I will email it to him.

Thanks

Yeah, your point means a lot.

Who are the 3-4 "key" players out for the Colts?
No mention of Gates and Parker being out?
And I'll pass on Cutler, the guy's never won shit.

[Fillmoe]

freeney
harrison will play but hes still not 100%
mcfarland
morris

[TheSanityAnnex]

And we're missing Gates and LoNeal. But you don't see me making excuses.

[J.T.]

Wow, this thread almost got bumped off the page without me to keep it fresh. It's Sunday now so I can start giving this thread the much needed flava it needs. Bout to catch a few more winks before the game, but I'm expecting the Colts to come out swinging and not let up till the clock strikes zero.

Colts 35 Chargers 21

[TheSanityAnnex]

Wow, this thread almost got bumped off the page without me to keep it fresh. That Joe Gibbs retires thread was off the chain.

[howbouthemspurs]

Shaq sux!

[J.T.]

I love it when you wake up 15 minutes before kickoff. Just enough time to chow down and chug a few beers.

[Hank the Tank]

i wonder how marvin will perform today.

[dirk4mvp]

Peyton Manning is god.

[Hank the Tank]

yep....this game is gonna be a blowout!

TD Colts! :clap

[J.T.]

Peyton Manning is god.

QFT.

[Amarelooms]

Who cares about this game...the real teams play at 3

[Hank the Tank]

Who cares about this game...the real teams play at 3
giants are real???

[Hank the Tank]

OMG!! that was a gayass peyton and eli commercial though.....

[Hank the Tank]

that was a badass pick....if it stands!

[J.T.]

Yeah, I was really sleeping on the Chargers all week. TSA put way too much stock in the Colts-Chargers last two games. Nice pick by Kel, but considering the QB who threw it, why am I not surprised?

[dirk4mvp]

I don't see how that would get reversed.

[SpursFanFirst]

:clap YES!

[SpursFanFirst]

:depressed Poor Marvin :(

[Spawn]

Marvin Harrison...he's pretty good!!!

[bostonguy]

This is the only time I will say this so listen up...GO COLTS! I dont want to play a pretender like the Chargers plus they shouldnt have the honor of ending the Colts repeat hopes. Win this game Indy because the Pats path to 19-0 perfection would be so great with dethroning Indy.

you'll be rooting for your own demise then.

[Hank the Tank]

haha refs dont know what the fuck happened.

[Hank the Tank]

SD TD. 7-7

however, i think the colts can easily score every time if they dont fumble again.

[SpursFanFirst]

The defense is a little off today. Hopefully they'll come out in the 2nd half, and we'll recognize them.

[johngateswhiteley]

colts fans are funny...pats fans too.

[Hank the Tank]

woah!!! that was close call! 1st incompletion for peyton too i think.

[SpursFanFirst]

Manning was so lucky he wasn't picked off there!

[Hank the Tank]

colts fans are funny...pats fans too.
nahhh. cowboy fans take the cake.

[SpursFanFirst]

colts fans are funny...pats fans too.

:huh

[Hank the Tank]

yeah...the colts defense has surprised me......in a bad way.

[johngateswhiteley]

nahhh. cowboy fans take the cake.

perhaps...but i don't think colts and pats fans are bad, just funny. my hatred for the cowboys is well documented.

[SpursFanFirst]

yeah...the colts defense has surprised me......in a bad way.

They just don't look normal today...slow. But, this isn't the first time when they were like this in the 1st, and came out on a mission in the 2nd. I hope today is one of those days.

[SpursFanFirst]

missed field goal! Woooo!

[SAtown]

What a fucking idiot, this Bob Sanders! :lmao

[SpursFanFirst]

:nope Bobby Sanders.

[SAtown]

Don't expect Kaeding to make any clutch kicks anytime soon.

[Hank the Tank]

that was a funny little series of plays.

[Spawn]

Bob Sanders... he's pretty smart!!!

[dirk4mvp]

What a fucking idiot, this Bob Sanders! :lmao


You're allowed to do stuff like that from time to time when you're the best defensive player in football.

[Hank the Tank]

Holy Shit!! what a turn around.

colts are really lucky. holding call negates TD..

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

JT just shit himself.

[SAtown]

wow, what a return anyways

[bostonguy]

Wow just think how many of these picks the Pats are going to have on Peyton next week. Man Indy is in a world of trouble.

[SpursFanFirst]

Good grief. When I walk out of the room, SD intercepts the ball and runs it back? It's a good thing there was a flag on that!

[bostonguy]

You're allowed to do stuff like that from time to time when you're the best defensive player in football.

That is Asante Samuel despite him getting screwed out of that award.

[J.T.]

JT just shit himself.

I'm actually lawling pretty hard right now. SD misses a FG, then gets jewed on an INT TD? Hahahahahahahahaha.

[johngateswhiteley]

i didn't see any holding...bad call, chargers should be winning.

[SpursFanFirst]

That is Asante Samuel despite him getting screwed out of that award.


Oh brother. :rolleyes

[dirk4mvp]

That is Asante Samuel despite him getting screwed out of that award.


Nope. It was given to the right player, fucktard.



Bob Sanders >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[BeerIsGood!]

That was a complete bullshit hold call. The Colts guy went backwards and slung the guy down. What a bullshit homer call saving the Colts.

[ploto]

Colts should be losing...

[dirk4mvp]

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Asante Samuel

[Hank the Tank]

i didn't see any holding...bad call, chargers should be winning.
i agree....im rootin for the colts but i thought it was a bad call as well. the NFL wants a pats-colts matchup.

[SpursFanFirst]

The defense is coming to play in the 2nd half. I can feel it! :elephant

[johngateswhiteley]

That was a complete bullshit hold call. The Colts guy went backwards and slung the guy down. What a bullshit homer call saving the Colts.

...yeah, i don't get it at all.

[johngateswhiteley]

the NFL wants a pats-colts matchup.

why would you even type that? ...give me a break.

[resistanze]

That was one weak ass holding call.

[FromWayDowntown]

That was a complete bullshit hold call. The Colts guy went backwards and slung the guy down. What a bullshit homer call saving the Colts.

It's the old "whore" technique, but it's not a hold. The Chargers got hosed on that one -- and once again, a visiting team gets hosed on an important call in a playoff game in Indianapolis.

Edit: upon seeing the super slo-mo replay, I can see a possible hold. It's still odd to me that so many seemingly bad calls go against the visiting teams in Indianapolis at playoff time.

[SpursFanFirst]

Yes. It's a good thing NO other arena or stadium or what have you EVER "helps" the home team..."home cookin'." isn't that what it's called?
I didn't see that play, as I was out of the room...but give me a break. I've seen some pretty questionable calls in favor of the home team over the years. This isn't new.

2nd half. Move on.

[FromWayDowntown]

I must just be galled by the arrogance of the Colts.

[SpursFanFirst]

uh huh.

[Hank the Tank]

colts defense still looks like shit. this game is not going the way i envisioned it would go.

[bostonguy]

Colts struggling to beat a Chargers team with a limited Gates and L.T. is comedy. And they are going to stop the Pats right?

[bostonguy]

Great "D" there Indy.

[SAtown]

Td Sd

[SpursFanFirst]

colts defense still looks like shit. this game is not going the way i envisioned it would go.

Yes. It does. I was just thinking that. They need to get it together. :(

[JamStone]

No LT, injured Gates, no problem. Where is the Colts defense?

[bostonguy]

Brady is going to torch the living hell out of either one of these teams next Sunday. This is going to be a fun ending to this game.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

For Colts fans:

[Hank the Tank]

really though. the colts have been able to move the ball every time they've had it but their only problem is turnovers. if they can protect the ball and play something that even resembles defense they can still win this game.

[SpursFanFirst]

For Colts fans:

http://s133702574.onlinehome.us/pictures/blog/crappedmypants.jpg


Nah. Too early for that.

[johngateswhiteley]

funny stuff...should be 21-10 chargers. i just can't believe that holding call...the nerve of that ref, it just blows me away. that fabulous return...negated.

[johngateswhiteley]

really though. the colts have been able to move the ball every time they've had it but their only problem is turnovers. if they can protect the ball and play something that even resembles defense they can still win this game.

can still win? ....relax.

[johngateswhiteley]

Brady is going to torch the living hell out of either one of these teams next Sunday. This is going to be a fun ending to this game.

slow your roll, brah.

[Hank the Tank]

can still win? ....relax.
i meant can still win Easily. sorry about that.
