Stupid Colts!

Colts had that game won if they would have avoided the 3 turnovers in the red zone. That is so lame!!! And the kicker missed a field goal that would have tied the game with seconds left!

Don't blame it on the kicker, or the three turnovers. Blame it on Manning for taking that sack on 3rd down. That's what killed their chances at forcing OT. It made a 36 yard attempt into a 48 yard one.

If you are interested in football discussions, you might want to check out the Boxoffice forum. That's where most of that kind of thing is centered.

Well if the linemen would have done what they are paid to do, then Manning wouldn't have gotten sacked in the first place. :)

It was an outside linebacker blitz, coming from the right side, and the tight end on that side was running a pass pattern. At that point, the responsibilty to avoid the outside pass rush is up to the quarterback. He has to be aware of pressure, even coming from his blind side, and know when to get rid of the ball. If he were to roll out of the pocket and just throw the ball away, the field goal is much easier.

Fair enough :D

Actually what's even lamer is the fact that Corey Dillon only got 82 rushing yards.

Damn Patriots -- stop passing the ball!! I don't have Brady at QB, you're blowing my fantasy stats!
