Colts beat the Ravens 15-6 in divisional playoff action. Sloppy offensive play from both sides and NO touchdowns. A game comprised of nothing more than field goals... yuck! How rude! They were a winning road team.. also bucking another trend.
Peyton 'demon boy' Manning gets past the divisional hurdle and shakes that monkey slightly off his back as a nonproducer in the postseason. The team actually won more on defense than anything he personally did... just like last week.
Twas a bitter game too. For those not old enough to remember, the Colts originated in Baltimore and did a midnight run to Indianapolis in the 80's. The fans have never really forgiven the move and some still follow it as if they were still a Baltimore team. 12 years of darkness pass and the Cleveland Browns move to Baltimore... causing a bitter rift on that side as well.

this just in: Reggie Bush's ribs have just been found! Hopefully he will be able to learn how to walk again.
(First play the game was a screen pass to Reggie and he got absolutely jacked up and almost had to be carried off the field)
That hit would have made the Jacked up segment for sure if there was still Monday Night Football.
Looks like he's ok now with that 20 yard run.
Devry Henderson had a nice tidy run...thought it was going to be a TD.
that Colts/Ravens game was a pathetic offensive display.
go Saints

Bush in 08! ... no.. wait.. he's not old enough... nor can he afford the paycut.
Now that was a way more exciting game than the early one.
Hell of an effort by McAllister, especially when they moved that pile 5 extra yards for a TD.
I'm betting on that hit on Bush as the biggest hit of 2007. I don't know what you expected from the Baltimore game but that's why the Colts got Venitari. It went pretty much like I expected although I had hoped for more from McNair. Of couse, he can only run the plays they call for him.
I was just trying to find video of that hit on Bush. Nothing on YouTube or the sports sites yet.

:confused:
They can't beat either team next week. The choke continues. LONG LIVE THE CHOKE!
Well, he may be able to win by a lousy 3 points, but Westbrook fucking FLEW over the pile for a TD. That and his 62 yard touchdown run, WESTBROOK FUCKING RULES!
Mike Charney is a complete fucking asshole. IIRC, he was at the Giants/Cowboys game, where he called like 150 yards in penalties against the Giants and 25 against the cowgirls. He just kept calling them against the eagles. Seriously, that assfuck got the Saints more first downs than McAllister and Bush combined. That 4th quarter penalty against Dhani Jones fucking lost the game. IIRC, on 4th and 5, Garcia threw this brilliant 15-20 yard pass to Stallworth, and then he ran it for another 10 yards, which was completely fucking awesome and would have been able to get us a TD to win, or at least a FG to take it into OT. Instead, we get pushed back to 4th and 15. There's no way to repeat an amazing play like that. It was the Eagles' last chance to turn the game around, and the fucking asshole ref blew it.
After a couple mistakes and a boring first quarter it looks like the Chargers are hitting their stride now. 14-3.

Chargers? feh.. the Chargers aren't in this. This game is L. 'baby jesus' T. vs the world... THE WORLD! The world was spotted 10 points and is still losing. LT must've taken his Chuck Norris tonic this morning.
i'm finding it very difficult to watch the game with all these sick people around... :retard:

Tell those patients to be sick on their own time. Don't they know its the playoffs?!
I have to root for the DOlts, it's the law. However, I secretly am rooting for the Chargers beacause they are in the AFC West. No Raiders, then at least make it a 2x a year team.

21-21 with 4:25 left to play. guess we should be prepared for a rush of chest pain patients.

4:25 leaves enough time for three more turnovers they way they are both playing. Frankly, neither deserve to go on after this turkey.
good god...24-21 Pats. they certainly didnt make it easy on themselves

9 total turnovers by my count... a total mess.
Another Indianapolis-New England championship game.... bleh.
i'm going to watch the entire game when i get home. gota love DVR's
Wanna talk about inability to win the big one? Peyton is a rookie compared to Marty. My nephew will be calling any minute now to excitedly tell us he's going to Indy next week. (seaon ticket holder)

yeah. i would have preferred a Pats-Ravens matchup myself.

The Colts are done. New England owns Indy in the playoffs. I still don't think the Vinatieri factor is enough to overcome the Peyton Manning Choke Factor.

I am now left with the unsavory choice between New England (y'all know better) and Peyton to make a Super Bowl. I pray for a tie.

Lets see:
Of the 8 quarterbacks in this last weekends action:
6 TD v 10 INT
4 fumbles and 18 sacks.
an average of 66.6875 QB rating.
Brees and Garcia were the only ones to seemingly keep their heads in the game and run decent and consisitent plays. The rest were harried, hurried, and plagued with sloppiness and hurried by dangerous defenses.
Almost a yawner of a weekend
Offense win games. Defense wins titles.

Unfortunately, at the end of the season (aka playoffs) it all goes back to single games. The defense may have gotten them the high record and a shot at a title... but you need a little juice in the tank to get that title.
A defense can be kick-ass and rule the world... but if the offense and special teams keeps fumbling inside their own 30, then 'death by field goals' begins.

And then there's the Bears, who ride on one of the most inconsistent QBs you'll ever see. No matter how much the coaches deny it, our success rides on him right now. The defense is still damn good, but if Bad Rex shows up, I don't think they can save him again, there's only so many times you can get away with it in a season. Helluva game I heard (haven't seen it in its entirety yet), but I saw the OT, such a relief when it split the uprights, I think half of us would've vomited if he'd have missed it (me included). We do always have an X-factor with one of the best overall special teams units I've ever seen.
