Explain to me how in the hell that was Manning's fault? He had a weak offensive line all season and today (see last 3rd down the Colts had) He has absolutley no run game and a less then stellar defense.

I missed the Al Michaels interview with Dungy...is he out after this result?

If Tony is gone he goes down as one of my favorite coaches of all time and truly an amazing human being.

Tough game today, a lot of chances to put it away but Chargers just kept it close and then once that coin came up tails It was pretty obvious this game was over. Shows you how gutsy the Colts winning streak was when they have absolutely no running game and just completely jumped on Peyton's back to even make the playoffs. Some of the penalty calls tonight were more then a little bit iffy especially that facemask but they hardly decided the game.

Offseason the Colts need to make improvements on the offensive line, running game and linebackers. Still proud of the way they battled and had it not been for that missed block on 3rd and 2 on the last Colts drive I think Indys the team celebrating now

Why would I be bitter? The Pats had a wonderful season

It wasn't. I just get bitter when I lose money.

For you my friend....The Ottawa Senators hold the key to happiness in your life. Just remember to abstain when they play the Oilers.

Congrats to the Cards. I am really pulling for the normally sad-sack Cards and the Cinderella II Story of Kurt Warner.

Philly06Cup · 01-04-2009, 01:36 AM

What a game by Sproles. I'd still give the game-ball to the Chargers punter, Scifres. Game-changing punts.

Well in week 7 the Ravens beat the Fins 27-13 in Miami but I think the Fins are much better now but so are the Ravens. The Ravens are actually a scary team because I think they are capable of running the table in the playoffs because they match pretty good against everyone. I think the game will be close, right down to the end and Dan Carpenter will kick the game winning field goal 17-14 Fins. The key for the Fins will be to run on that defence. Whether it is with regular formations or the wildcat.

What are the chances of a little snow in Miami to make Dan feel more at home?

transplant99 · 01-04-2009, 09:40 AM

I just cant see the Dolphins winning today.

Easiest schedule in the NFL and only beat one playoff team (SD) makes an average team look a lot better than they are in a hurry.

That being said Baltimore wouldnt be 11-5 if they didnt have Cincy and cleveland twice each this year either.

But that defense the last month or so looks a LOT like one that made Trent Dilfer a Superbowl winner.

I guess if Flacco looks like a rookie, then Miami has a good chance, but if he just "manages the game" (starting to hate that phrase) i cant see the Ravens D allowing enough points to lose.

I so badly want the Eagles to win just for the sake of McNabb. He's been through a lot but has handled it like a man.

And go Dolphins!

KTown · 01-04-2009, 10:31 AM

I am so eexcited for todays game I couldn't fall asleep till 3 am last night.

GO DOLPHINS!

corporatejay · 01-04-2009, 12:08 PM

The Baltimore defense is like watching poetry in motion. They are unbelievable.

Just a treat to watch eh?
Just seeing everyone run around at full speed and make plays, shows that these guys play 110% for each other.

Oh ya, Ed Reed is a STUD!!

KTown · 01-04-2009, 12:30 PM

Not what I was looking for. I didnt' think Chad would make the mistakes hes made. I thought he would've learned from last game against the Ravens.

What's he been though? You're a cowboys fan, you can't cheer for McNabb

Flickered Flame · 01-04-2009, 12:46 PM

Chad Pennington with his 3rd INT of the day, he only threw 7 all season.

It's not that he's just making mistakes, the Ravens are executing perfectly.

Fumble: Unreal....seriously...unreal.
