Official Colts vs Pats GameDay Thread (plus that other game)
 

Well lets start with some good news for the Colts

Patriots Harrison is out!

There's another game?

Hawkins and Sanders are going to eat the Colts alive!

Sanders is certainly no Harrison, but he's more than held his own this year. Nice to see young guys stepping it up. In the same vein, I'm hoping Hobbes has a coming out party today, we'll see. Seems like that guy came out of nowhere last year and has been on the cusp ever since.

And was out all last season and most of the season. So this is good news for the Colts why???

GEAUX SAINTS

I wonder what Jim Haslett is thinking right now

Chris Daughtry did a pretty good job with National Anthem.....except for the end.

Go Saints!

Having been born in New Orleans and living there for almost 29 years, I hated the Saints. I was a John Elway fan as a child, and when he got traded to Denver, I became a Broncos fan and have been one ever since. Since I moved from New Orleans in 2005, I've developed a very strong sense of pride in my hometown. I went from being a Saints hater to a Saints fan last season, and now I'm really excited about the game that's about to start.

I'll always be a Broncos fan first, but I'm fired up about the Saints for the first time in my life. However the Saints finish their season, I'm really sorry that I'm not going to be back home enjoying the celebration.

I've never said this before, but here goes... GEAUX SAINTS!

I think there is definitely a significant weakness in the Bear's secondary.

Wait, do they even HAVE a secondary?

Anyone else think Sean Payton looks like the little boy from "A Christmas Story" with that pillow-puff jacket he's wearing?

"I can't keep my arms down!!!"

Wow, how many games are we going to see where defensive player trys to be a hero and score a touchdown instead of just falling on the ball? Boneheaded play by the Bear's there.

Well, considering everyone and their mother thinks the Bear's defense is by far the best in the league, you would think that their secondary would play a little bit better.

is that like, a quadruple dola?

dola!

That TD certaintly wasn't good for the Saints

Anybody else (Bears fans need not apply) insanely bored by this game right now?

Yep, I must admit that I am. The last two minutes of this first half are a little more exciting, but I agree.

That Colston catch was sick. But I'm thinking of firing up some Madden at halftime and just listening to the game on the radio until I'm finished.

It's boring, but I'm winning my first bet of the day. :)

Nice throw by the big ten QB

PING: Texans


Thats the guy you could've had!

i'm going to post this again... he's fast

That UPS guy's haircut creeps me out a bit.

Uh... my dad just called. :(

That was a really obnoxious rendition of the national anthem.

Though I did like her pump fake at the start.

Glad somebody else noticed. Man that was awful.

Who was it?

Some whore.

I'd hit it

Pumpy Tudors.

Come on Pats. Don't let this day be a double disappointment.

I'd have preferred the Saints to win, but I'm cool with the Bears winning because it's my sister's birthday today and she's a huge Bears fan, so it's an awesome birthday present for her.

The "bad cold" injury has hit the AFC Championship game.

Here we go. If the Pats are going to win, we need the running game to work

I just hope to hell the Patriots lose. :D

Faulk looks nervous

st.cronin looks pretty nervous too

Agreed - but Maroney hasn't done anything since he came back from the injury. A big game from him would be huge.

HUGE! FUCKIN-A!

HUGE run

Whoa, had that been Maroney og Faulk it would have been a score.

Just what I was thinking - Dillon's definitly lost a few steps.

Only for the Patriots against the Colts.

HOW did the Colts' let that fumble get away?

I was terrified to watch the replay - but holy crap

The first sighting of the "Manning" face.

Oh my... I feel a little like the umpire there... Scratching his chin, wondering what the hell just happened there.

Whatever it takes. :)

Wow, that was lucky.

If you had to pick which team in the league would have a guard score a touchdown...

Is it just me or does it seem the pats always seem to have those bounces go their way in the playoffs?

Yes, but it also a little bit of the Colts screwing up, and Mankins paying attention.

This happens to the Pats way too often to be mere luck.

It kind of looked like a NE player batted the ball towards the endzone on that replay.

If dime were here, he would agree with you before spouting off some abhorrently wrong comment about something else entirely different from the topic within this thread.

Or if IMTG were here. He would do the same.

22 is off to a nice start.

Nice play there by Clark

Samuel will make lots of cash in the off season.

Hobbs saves six there.

He's still Mr Automatic

I swear, at times I think Vineteri's just messin' with us.

need to make a big play here or get some yards for a FG attempt

Um.. Bill.. did Marty Schottenheimer take you over?

I like the offensive game plan so far. Pats need to get just a LITTLE bit more pressure on the QB on defense.

Hell yea!

Who else. Troy Brown.

Um.. nevermind

AWFUL defensive call by the Colts. What were they thinking????

If you can't even touch Dillon on a 8 yard run, your run defense is in trouble.

You know that's going to appear on TMQ under the heading "Stop Me before I blitz again!"

Me thinks Peyton's going to have a lot more time to do advertisements this upcoming week.

Nice to see that the Colts famous run D is back.

Looks like these guys are back.

immatation is the sincierist form of flattery

Oh YEA!!!!!! Lovin it!!!

Game over.

LOTS of cash

ugh..

can vinatieri play quarterback?

Hoooly shit.

#22!!!!! SAMUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. This is looking like it could get ugly, and I thought it was going to be a very close game one way or the other.

FUCK YeeeeeeAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the TD Manning.

Hell no. The Colts can score quickly.

BTW, noone had 2nd quarter for the first Peyton Manning commercial, right?

TMQ? Do they still make that?

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Signed,
Everyone who picked against the Patriots today

This sucks. Not because I give crap who wins, but because this will be the second horribly boring game of the day.

Boo!!!

yeah, he's on ESPN.Com again this year

Game is definitely not over. Unless those little stick figures keep lining up on D.

Pats aren't going to blow an 18 point lead. Won't happen.

He's gotta be the first Logan to score an NFL touchdown. Way to represent.


Dear Patriots,

Please do not franchise Samuel.

Signed,
Every team who doesn't want to overpay for Nate Clements.

It's a nice attempt at a jinx, but we're not taking it.

Peyton is rattled. How many times do you see him take a delay of game?

Not close to over - but this is tremendous. Manning's legacy is on the line right now.

Unbelieveable. The Colts are just shellshocked

If he caught that it would have been offensive PI (oop, maybe not), but that about says it all so far.

If the Pats score hear it's done.

:)

I don't mind the Patriot players or the team...it's just their fans that I think are obnoxious.
