Now do it again next week to Seattle, GB! Don't want to see Seahawks celebrating a Super Bowl in Arizona's stadium.

+1 even though I can see that happening.

Either Dez lost control of it while trying to control the catch or he lost control because "he's dumb" and reached out. If it's the latter, then that is an act common to the game. If it's not considered that, then what the fuck does that rule even mean?

He was going to the ground. Reaching the ball out doesn't change that fact.

I honest could see Elway announcing the coaching change within 48 hours as this is the most recent of a dozen out coached occasions .

Jaaaassh Criiiiiibbbs

[ColtCrazy]

Crap.

[BillJasper]

I think that was a terrible call.

[cthomer5000]

He touched the ball before impact anyway - why are the announcers even debating this?

[Jas_lov]

That's not a fumble. His knee and body are down and he still has the ball. Ball squirts out after he's down.

If Manning is done, I'm not sure I see any one coming through that door that is a better coach than Fox.

Agreed, I don't see how a blocker being overpowered,can be considered blocking into the receiver.

[ColtCrazy]

I will always be a huge Manning fan, but you can tell he's just not the same. Maybe with Brady in the Chiefs game it was a anomaly. For Manning, it's been a month now. At some point, your body just can't bound back from injuries and such as quick. And for Manning, when that accuracy goes it's trouble.

I say this and watch him post a perfect 4th quarter and kick our asses.

But I will say Manning would make a great coach,GM, owner, or whatever he wants to do if he wants to stay in football.

[bhlloy]

Which ever way they rule it, pretty hard to understand how you can't breathe on a QB but having players pile into a guy who is clearly knocked out is kosher. That's insanely dangerous

Good Call!

[Jas_lov]

lol, Mike Carey was wrong again. Good thing they have a professional ref in the booth.

Fucking useless. It's just funny at this point

[bulletsponge]

that "fumble" and the dez bryant play could have gone either way, and they could have made a valid argument from the rulebook as to how its the correct call. the NFL rules are all over the place

[bulletsponge]

horrible decision on that pick by luck

[BillJasper]

Luck needs to quit tossing the ball up for grabs.

[BillJasper]

Colts aren't going to let Manning beat them with the screen game.

i wonder if Vegas takes odds on how often hes wrong.

[EagleFan]

I can't figure out the Colts. They seem very inconsistent from week to week. If they win today I can see them losing by thirty next week.

[stevew]

So the Colts guys clearly don't violate the neutral zone and it's still offside?

[NobodyHere]

Oh FFS

[BillJasper]

Just wow.

[ColtCrazy]

That was just pathetic tackling.

[stevew]

Yeah. Wtf, tackle the back. It's not like CJ AAnderson is Jim Brown.

Yeah and the Mike Peira guy
is also terrible.

[BillJasper]

Missed holding call on Talib.

[BillJasper]

Not a single run play, so Indy ran about thirty seconds off the clock. Smart!

Sorry but just went through a argument here a week ago about value of a guy like Fisher in St. Louis and everyone things he is shit. Well don't see what Fox has ever accomplished in his whT ? 15 years in the NFL? He has arguably had some of the most talented rosters in the league in the last decade over the last few seasons and they have only gone as far as there talent would allow he and Dael Rio have not been able to get them over the hump. I am ready to start the 3-13 seasons again to rebuild as this to constituted I have argued is soft and has been since they got Manning.

[NobodyHere]

So Landry can make a tackle.

That was fairly pedestrian in NFL .

Damn I miss Bethea.

[ColtCrazy]

Now that's an old school football coach. Huge cigar, dark glasses, newsboy cap.

Two Super Bowl appearances (one in Carolina) and four straight trips to the playoffs in Denver. Including one with Tebow as his QB.

Funny when fans of teams that have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to winning, complain about it.

Man I miss Trent Richardson.....is something no one has ever said.

Awesome. Right on the sidelines.

Yeah, how ego breaking is it when you get deactivated for RB that was signed on Tuesday?

[INDalltheway]

Loving this drive!

[Abe Sargent]

Yeah, keep this drive on going Colts.

[ColtCrazy]

Rushing yds right now. Colts 91; Broncos 89. I'm stunned.

[BillJasper]

I'm seriously not sure how it's John Fox's fault that Peyton Manning has finally ran out of gas.

[bhlloy]

I don't see how you can put this on anyone except Manning - he's consistently missed open receivers and thrown ducks that have allowed defenders to make plays on balls they had no right to. With the best receiving corps in the game.

The D has been just OK, but you would expect this offense to put up more than 24 at home and win this game

It's not. I haven't seen Peyton like this since his first days.


Game: Way too conservative there, but hey, 2 scores may be enough.

I think the defense has been decent. Held Luck to 24 points and have a couple of turnovers.

Did McAfee just kick a field goal?

I think he made one in the first half too. Boomstick!

I just had a moment of genius or insanity?

Eliminate the extra point by giving the kicking team a point if they kick the ball through the uprights on kickoffs!

+1 That's why you don't see me complaining about the Patriots dynasty (and their ups and downs) and also why I tell me son he's spoiled (being a fan of Pats, BoSox and Bruins). Even next year or two when Brady turns into Manning, I can say it was worth it.
