Man, Bettis is running well without his walker.

Considering the way they just marched down the field there, looks like he doesn't need to.

GrantDawg · 01-15-2006, 02:11 PM

So, if the Colts lose a home playoff game, what more can they possibily do next year?

I see a lot of guys with a cheatsheet out there these days. In the 70s, did anybody wear the cheatsheet wristband? I don't remember seeing it in historical footage. I'm inclined to say no, but I'm not sure. I cannot even remember coaches walking the sideline with a cheatsheet. Seems like the players had a lot more autonomy on the field than they do today.

Ride the Bus!

kingfc22 · 01-15-2006, 02:12 PM

2006 playoffs = Manning's 0-2

Desmond · 01-15-2006, 02:12 PM

Heh, this is just funny.

Desnudo · 01-15-2006, 02:13 PM

Of course the Colts are the one team that might be able to pull it out, but will they see the ball more than once?

They didn't have as many plays, either. It was simpler systems.

Hahah. Good question. Hope they can wait until the final week to seal homefield? I wonder how much the suicide of Dungy's son totally disrupted their routines. Not an excuse, but a fact that they all had to deal with nonetheless.

biological warrior · 01-15-2006, 02:15 PM

Geez the Colts just look flat. I think this has its roots from ''sitting'' out the players from week 13-14. That's why I am opposed to sitting players out until the final game.

Does it really have to be so complicated now? It is rather self-serving anyway. Football doesn't have to be that complicated.

Julio Riddols · 01-15-2006, 02:16 PM

Does anybody else think the best coach in the NFL for the last.. 10 years or so is Bill Cowher? I have never seen a coach more capable of motivating his team. The Steelers (as far as I know) have yet to give up on a game since he started coaching them, and they ALWAYS come ready to bust someone in the mouth.

Alternately, I think Tony Dungy is almost incapable of motivating his teams when they are in pressure situations. Isn't that the reason he ended up with the Colts in the first place? Couldn't win big games in Tampa either.

Yes. The players are so much bigger and faster that it is harder to have success just pounding it, or throwing fly patterns. You have to get players out of position.

Bonegavel · 01-15-2006, 02:17 PM

Manning is looking like McNabb today.

They're both excellent coaches who have lost a lot of playoff games.

Desnudo · 01-15-2006, 02:18 PM

TDBot 2000 is malfunctioning.

tucker rocky · 01-15-2006, 02:18 PM

Should've been picked.

That tag is starting to fit. Then again, it only takes once (see Brown, Mack).

kingfc22 · 01-15-2006, 02:19 PM

Who's the coach on this team?

muns · 01-15-2006, 02:19 PM

wow peyton has some balls here 4th and 2

st.cronin · 01-15-2006, 02:19 PM

Who's in charge of this team, anyway?

mauchow · 01-15-2006, 02:20 PM

They really really really really really needed that first down.

Hurst2112 · 01-15-2006, 02:21 PM

That's why they are in their position.

Desnudo · 01-15-2006, 02:21 PM

I like that call, they needed to do something.

Hurst2112 · 01-15-2006, 02:22 PM

christ....not this punt pass thing. i thought that was held on the championship weekend

st.cronin · 01-15-2006, 02:23 PM

If, as rumored, Dungy retires after this year, I think the Colts should name Peyton Manning head coach. They shouldn't even have been thinking about punting there.

Desnudo · 01-15-2006, 02:23 PM

This punt pass thing, maybe could have been done at halftime.

Hurst2112 · 01-15-2006, 02:23 PM

some years, i feel sorry for the kids that get booed for wearing the wrong jerseys.

henry296 · 01-15-2006, 02:23 PM

I agree, kills the flow of the game. Should do it at halftime.

GrantDawg · 01-15-2006, 02:23 PM

There is no doubt that Peyton Manning is actually the OC on this team.

Yeah, that was crazy to think about punting.

Bonegavel · 01-15-2006, 02:24 PM

wow, nice

GrantDawg · 01-15-2006, 02:24 PM

OMG!!!

Hurst2112 · 01-15-2006, 02:25 PM

now it's a game. bring it on!

edit: and I was salivating in calling all you guys out that didn't even mention the steelers going to denver next week. thought i would be able to use the fact that Manning couldn't even score on the Steeler D.

oops.

Desnudo · 01-15-2006, 02:25 PM

This next Steelers drive is enormous.

ISiddiqui · 01-15-2006, 02:26 PM

Dat boy run... well, good enough.

Yup. The Colts defense needs to step up.

st.cronin · 01-15-2006, 02:29 PM

Watch for the deep ball ... Steelers brought their balls today.

GrantDawg · 01-15-2006, 02:29 PM

Got to make those tackles.

Yeah, because the 45-minute halftime salute to over-the-hill celebrities and product placement doesn't disrupt the flow of the game. It took a minute during a commercial break. I think the yafans and the players can suck it up.

GrantDawg · 01-15-2006, 02:31 PM

Short.

st.cronin · 01-15-2006, 02:31 PM

GO FOR IT

Desmond · 01-15-2006, 02:31 PM

Gotta punt here, but damn............

GrantDawg · 01-15-2006, 02:32 PM

Try to pull.
