If that had been called "roughing" rather than "running into" I really can't imagine anyone would have put up much of a fuss.

This draws have got to stop. Indy is really flirting with disaster.

The wrong ref took charge on that call. The player's back was to him.

Even though I think he was in, not sure i'd have the balls to use that challenge here.

If they go on to score a TD, that's the defining moment of the game. If they don't come away with any points, that decision could haunt them. I'm very on the fence about the decision, regardless of the outcome there.

Not sure what you mean. Even if they don't score they can still burn some more time off the clock.

Dungy has lost any protection against reversing an even more important call in the 4th quarter. That's what I mean.

...and that really didn't amount to all that much a benefit after reversing the call. They're traded a couple minutes and probably 10-15 yards of field position for the ability to challenge anything that coule be EXTREMELY important (between now and the time it's in the referee's hands).

No way Rex can lead two TD drives, let alone one.

Doesn't look like his heel touched but the edge of the tip of shoe might have touched.

There's no way the Bears can come back next year with Grossman as the qb, is there?

He was laughing with Harrison (I think) and making an arc-ing motion.

Anyone who is DVRing the game, it's worth rewinding to see Peyton + Marvin making the huge arcing, drooping throw motion and laughing about it.

I missed it first time because of typing. Saw it on the rewind. Quite funny.

Colts should just onside kick. It's not like Rex is going to move the ball.

I'm really amazed ... Brian Griese is on the roster, right? Is he hurt or something?

Rex has thrown more yards to the Colts than he has to his own team.

There was contact between the receiver and the defender on that play too. Shouldn't he be down by contact?
