Freaking ridiculous, honestly after Peyton's funk I too also thought that he might be in decline, but the truth of the matter, is that the Upper Management has become content with just being a perennial playoff team and a championship team that they choose not to go make free agent hires or trade offers to replenish the stores. It's sad that one of the best quarterbacks in the league and the "unofficial" poster boy of the league is having what's left of his prime stolen from him by this shit owner/GM, this terrible coach. In the end the lack of toughness is not solely personnel, it also comes from the coach. The talent is there but going from Dungy to Caldwell has been a devastating blow to the franchise. Fire his ass get Cowher and the Colts might be able to salvage Manning and their franchises legacy. Really I don't blame Peyton anymore, he was desperate, trying to get the pieces to work, but he couldn't, not with the talent on that team, not to mention the nearly 10 minute drive in the second half... Just overall very disappointed with the Colts management.
Also because I just love shaudefrieden: GEUXX SAINTS!!!!!! pst... am I doing it right? at least we both can wallow in the short post season for our teams but at least you have a coach that knows something... Caldwell has just been a brick... an emotionless brick... riding on then Dungy's coattails in TB and then Mannings once he got to the Colts. After some more thinking it's quite obvious that Reevis isn't all that great, the reason Manning couldn't throw to Wayne to test out the coverage is because he didn't have the downs to work with, when the running game was sputtering with rhodes at 1.3yards per carry and the colts basically burning the first two downs on the run it's obvious that the throwing game had to take a seat, in the end they did lose but the more I think about this the more it becomes less of mannings fault and more of his team just sucking or laying a goose egg. I mean 4 3rd and short two of those were 3rd and 1s and they could not rush 1 yard successfully, I just can't fathom it. Last edited by Nosauz; 2011-01-08 at 23:41. |

^Saints (like last years top 4 teams, colts) couldn't sign anyone unless they lost a free agent of their own because of the impending lockout year restrictions...Depth cost us too...

Saints got trolled. That stiff arm looked like something out of Star Wars.
Force PUSH! That said, jets showed that one man can't carry a team. I hope Andy Reid's paying attention to that message. Of course, the Jets are going to the slaughterhouse, I mean, Foxboro next week. They got murdered there last time, and atm, New England's just making me fall asleep watching their football games not because of their playstyle, but because the games are just so one-sided.

Gotta love that run by Lynch. What a stiff arm, lol.
The atmosphere in that game (the loudness of the crowd) was great all the way through, such a joy to watch. It was cool watching Hasselback light it up again. Always liked the guy, but never heard or saw much of him the last few years. He really looked like he was in his prime that game.

Another game worthy of the playoffs. In the end, the Colts's inabilitiy to defend the running game cost them yet again. They couldn't afford an out of form Tomlinson to get confidence and bravado - and he got it. Even Sanchez was able to redeem himself late. Jets prevail and Rex Ryan sends the Colts a little payback for last year's conference championship game.
And appropriately, the Seahawks-Saints game has the highest fan rating of the year on NFL.com at about 98%. Seriously, that game was so special.

Really it wasn't. The compounding factors of a lack of running game from the colts, and the lack of run defense and that horrible horrible push into the kicker/ retard jump into the punter at the end cost the colts. Of course mannings numbers weren't great but that's because there was no real running game to force Rex to respect the run, in the end Rex didn't beat Manning, he beat the Colts. Plus Manning demolished Cromartie like he was chopped liver, seriously, Garcon's 57 yd td catch was insane. Oh well maybe this early loss in the playoffs will mean management will seriously look at axing Caldwell, who really does suck the life out of that team. Seriously... who rests when your 2 games away from perfection?

Being in Nanjing is so bittersweet. I'm having to type from my damn PSP. Missing the Saints get humiliated and the Harbaugh hire sucked, but I'm happy with the outcome. Can't wait to get back!

Game's lookin good for the Ravens
ed1: I'm surprised they didn't get into a fight, the Chiefs with all that bullshit grabbing after the play is over. Game's pretty much over now though, cooler heads prevail to clench a victory.

Kansas City just fell apart and then some in the 3rd quarter. A game that went as expected - Baltimore crushed them.
Now for Green Bay v Philadelphia. Apparently Kobe Bryant sent Michael Vick a motivational present that Vick has kept in his locker room - a jersey saying 'Be Epic.'

Green Bay are just about ready to put Philadelphia to the sword. Eagles are incredibly lucky they're not down 21-3 since Jones dropped an absolute sitter on the final drive of the half. Secondary is just leaving Vick with not much he can do at present while Rodgers keeps doing little plays that add up.
