Yup, Billick with two huge mistakes there. No question. Manning shouldn't have thrown that pass. It's like a series thing with him right now. On one series he's the Manning of the regular season. On the next one, he's Eli.

I know the Ravens and Chiefs don't have tremendous skill players on offense, but neither team has shown any imagination with the ball.

Is it just me or does Baltimore seem to have the most generic offense of the playoffs? Run up the middle, try a deep ball, run up the middle, try a deep ball...

Yeah, amazing catch. Each team with only one Time Out when the fourth starts. Horrible management there. But good for the fans. Fourth Quarter should move a bit faster now.

It's true, I think - the Colts defense does, in fact, suck.

While it may be true the Colts D sucks, I'm not quite sure how you are getting that out of this game. The Ravens average 22 points per game, 318 yards per game, and 214 yards passing per game.

Through three quarters, they had 3 points, 219 total yards and 139 yards passing. I'd say the Colts defense is playing pretty damned good defense today.

I think it's more a function of offensive gameplan. If this were being played on FOF, there would be a lot of "the Colts looked very familiar with that play."

Just my opinion, and don't hold me to it, I may change my mind.

If I am a Ravens fan, I am hoping the D scores.

I don't really disagree with you. But at the end of the day, the game counts and nothing else. The Colts are doing a good job of winning the game to this point and the defense is holding their own.

The Ravens aren't mixing things up a lot and the Colts have gotten some huge breaks. On the other hand, they are making a lot of their own breaks with huge hits and fairly solid tackling most of the day.

That was an absolutely insane throw by Peyton Manning. He's been real lucky today.

All of the above said, the Colts are in some trouble now. 3rd and 19 and if they punt from here, the Ravens will have terrific filed position.

Everyone will throw a fit on Manning on that one. . . but that was a smart play. A long punt with no return, you can live with that.

Why in the world are you getting away from the running game when you're only down by 6? It's embarassing to watch the play calling here.

No kidding, Ed Reed would have done his team a better favor by just knocking the ball to the ground.

But Boller doesn't exhibit the same leadership when he's throwing game killing INTs.

The irony is, when the Ravens knew they didn't have a passing game under Trent Dilfer, they were a much better team. Basically without McNair's interceptions the game is tied.

Ravens have a few big runs today, but Lewis is at something like 4.3 a carry and is around 3 yards a pop without the one 18 yard run. Not sure calling running plays every call you could make it work.

I'd be going down the field more with play action. I'm stunned they have only tried one or two deep balls all game.

I wouldn't have gone shotgun on the first set though. They've had success grinding it out, no reason to do a 180.

If the Colts could muster a FG here, the game would be over. then again, a wild pass adn the Colts could be trailing by one. Bizzare game.

Do you throw for a first here? Or take another 40 seconds off, and most likely have to punt?

Big play here. Colts pick it up, they can take it down to nearly the two minute warning and they'll be near FG range.
