They had more offense that I thought they would. Just not enough. I'm sure Grossman will get better if he can stay healthy, but he hasn't proven he can stay healthy.
I can't think of any other team that's had the revolving door of QBs more than Chicago. What a waste of a good D.
That Colts/Steelers last 1:30 was great but, alas, Peyton choked.
Vanderjegt's kick was like an elephants arsehole - high, wide and stinky.
Grossman was absolutely horrible, too. Carolina has had a sleeper offense all season long while the bears had Muslin and Jones and that's it.
I hope Alexander is ok for next weekend.
Looks like a Seahawk/Steeler SuperBore this year...

Whats that mean? Why should i care, perhaps it was just a formality? Or maybe a diss.. If Gruden wouldnt have went to the Bucs, the Bucs wouldnt have been in the Superbowl, and neither would the Raiders. If Dungy was still with the Bucs, they wouldnt have been there, let alone won.
he put them in position to win, and he couldnt get the job done. He's a Andry Reid-esque coach and in my eyes he's overrated.

It means they went back and thanked their old coach for their Superbowl win. He got snaked out of TB and Jon Gruden took over. That is a pretty obvious and powerful message to send to your new coach.
I see you are very talented at predicting "possible" futures. One wonders why they even play the games with you knowing all possible outcomes many seasons in advance. If you were smart you could sell the future to the highest bidder.

Actually i do sell the future...
Im the reason Hilary is going to run for president, im the reason Al Gore says he will never run again.
Im the reason Bush Invaded Iraq, Im the reason why the rolling stones are still playing, im the reason why marijuana isnt legal.
I sell the information of what could happen, and people use it to there advantage.
I could tell you your future if you'd like.
A lot of things going on in this post...Kelly Lee said:You know, I am a little upset with my Colts. Why didn't they go no-huddle earlier in the game? Why couldn't they protect Peyton? Why couldn't the secondary stop the "Steeler's" passing game?:scowl: The '95 Colts played the Steelers better by a wide margin.
It is really hard being a Colts fan. They keep building me up and then letting me down year after year. I don't care how many times they make it into the playoffs or if they have a 16-0 season or set every stat record in the books. It all means nothing without a SB ring.
There is always next year. Yeah, right.
Anyway, the Steelers outplayed Indy and the scoreboard showed it at the beginning of the 4th quarter. It was a few bad calls that kept Indy in the game.
How is it hard to be an Indy fan? Instead of talking about this week's playoff winners on ESPN Radio, they're doing a spot on 'what to the Colts do now.' Gimme a break. The Steelers came in prepared this week, and the Colts' best couldn't handle it.
Get over it.
BTW: next week's AFC Champs= Superbowl XL Champs.
No way, dude. Indy's O was cracked, his best game wouldn't have saved them this week.Barfly said:

Ha! You saw Peyton choke this week, get ready to see Big Ben choke next week. Denver's D is definitely ready. Did you see John Lynch and Champ Bailey takin it to the Pats with those interceptions? Denver's Defense doesn't rely on one player, they work as a team. Same for our offense. Indy didn't give Pittsburgh the challenge they could have. Be sure that Denver will. Oh yeah, and Jason Elam doesn't miss.
As always, no credit for the Steelers. Oh, well, they make better underdogs, anyway.page said:

Are you ****tin me?!?!?! Between Indy , Pittsburgh, and New England I dunno who gets their ass kissed more by the sports media! Denver, despite having the second best record in the AFC have been ignored all year and even when they shut popular teams down they get called "lucky" . I don't wanna hear all of this underdog crap about Pittsburgh. Even when we had the mighty Elway we still got ignored and when we did get attention , they'd insult us and call us "lucky" never skilled or talented or whatever. Pittsburgh have been the media's darling along with Indy all year.
Dude, put down that load you've chosen to carry.page said:
If someone in the media has said something to which you take exception, cite it, then refute it.
Otherwise, it's just whining...
page said:
"We"? "Us"? Which player are you? I agree to a point though. The Colts were certainly a media darling this year. However, they did deserve it IMHO. They were an interesting team this year. However, like the previous poster said, whining about media coverage is a waste of time.
