Official Colts vs Pats GameDay Thread (plus that other game)

Greyroofoo · 01-21-2007, 11:48 AM

Well lets start with some good news for the Colts

Patriots Harrison is out!

wade moore · 01-21-2007, 11:59 AM

There's another game?

Desnudo · 01-21-2007, 11:59 AM

Hawkins and Sanders are going to eat the Colts alive!

jeff061 · 01-21-2007, 12:34 PM

Sanders is certainly no Harrison, but he's more than held his own this year. Nice to see young guys stepping it up. In the same vein, I'm hoping Hobbes has a coming out party today, we'll see. Seems like that guy came out of nowhere last year and has been on the cusp ever since.

I wonder what Jim Haslett is thinking right now

RedKingGold · 01-21-2007, 01:53 PM

Chris Daughtry did a pretty good job with National Anthem.....except for the end.

Cringer · 01-21-2007, 01:58 PM

Quote:

"The Bears are who we thought they were."

Dennis Green, the now-fired coach of the Cardinals, made that infamous statement in an angry postgame news conference this past season after Arizona staged a memorable fourth-quarter collapse against the Chicago Bears.

Thoughts about the Bears vary, but my guess is at least 99 percent of Packers fans will be rooting against them today in their NFC championship game clash against the New Orleans Saints.

If there's one theme that is shared universally among Packers fans, it's that the Bears always will stink.

It has nothing to do with jealousy. It has everything to do with a bitter rivalry that is 85 years old.

No doubt Bears fans are puffing out their chests this week with pride and looking down on the Packers. They should savor moments like this, because they have been so rare in recent years.

In the storied history of the NFL, the Packers have won more championships and playoff games than the Bears.

Chicago fans correctly will point out the Bears lead the all-time series with the Packers. They will fail to mention that much of that advantage was gained in the leather-helmet era. The Packers hold a 55-43 edge over the last 50 years, and have won 22 of the last 29 meetings.

Incredibly, the Packers have toppled the Bears on the road 12 of the last 13 games, including a 26-7 beat-down at Soldier Field less than three weeks ago. In those 12 victories, the Packers have won by an average of 12½ points. If you can't defend your home turf better than that, there is no basis for bragging rights of any kind.

Even now, when they are one victory short of a Super Bowl berth, the Bears suffer from a major case of insecurity. Bears players were whining this week about how they don't get enough respect.

Apparently they don't realize that respect must be earned. This is a team that won its first playoff game in 12 years last Sunday, and even then barely escaped in overtime, at home, against the injury-ravaged Seattle Seahawks.

It's hard to respect a team quarterbacked by Rex Grossman, who said after his miserable performance (0.0 passer rating) against the Packers on Dec. 31 that he didn't give 100 percent in preparation for the game. It was a bad excuse for his horrendous showing, and it spoke to his integrity that as a team leader, he would consider giving less than his best.

Even in the midst of a winning season, Grossman comes off looking like a loser.

And so it goes with the Bears.

Can you imagine the Packers' Brett Favre having that kind of attitude? It's unthinkable, and helps explain why the Bears have gone through 20 starting quarterbacks since Favre took over the Packers' offense in 1992.

Win or lose today, the Bears are who we thought they were. Packers fans know exactly what I'm talking about.

Go Saints!

Pumpy Tudors · 01-21-2007, 02:04 PM

Having been born in New Orleans and living there for almost 29 years, I hated the Saints. I was a John Elway fan as a child, and when he got traded to Denver, I became a Broncos fan and have been one ever since. Since I moved from New Orleans in 2005, I've developed a very strong sense of pride in my hometown. I went from being a Saints hater to a Saints fan last season, and now I'm really excited about the game that's about to start.

I'll always be a Broncos fan first, but I'm fired up about the Saints for the first time in my life. However the Saints finish their season, I'm really sorry that I'm not going to be back home enjoying the celebration.

I've never said this before, but here goes... GEAUX SAINTS!

RedKingGold · 01-21-2007, 02:15 PM

I think there is definitely a significant weakness in the Bear's secondary.

Wait, do they even HAVE a secondary?

RedKingGold · 01-21-2007, 02:19 PM

Anyone else think Sean Payton looks like the little boy from "A Christmas Story" with that pillow-puff jacket he's wearing?

"I can't keep my arms down!!!"

RedKingGold · 01-21-2007, 02:21 PM

Wow, how many games are we going to see where defensive player trys to be a hero and score a touchdown instead of just falling on the ball? Boneheaded play by the Bear's there.

Well, considering everyone and their mother thinks the Bear's defense is by far the best in the league, you would think that their secondary would play a little bit better.

RedKingGold · 01-21-2007, 02:22 PM

is that like, a quadruple dola?

Greyroofoo · 01-21-2007, 03:19 PM

dola!

Greyroofoo · 01-21-2007, 03:23 PM

That TD certaintly wasn't good for the Saints

Logan · 01-21-2007, 03:26 PM

Anybody else (Bears fans need not apply) insanely bored by this game right now?

Yep, I must admit that I am. The last two minutes of this first half are a little more exciting, but I agree.

Logan · 01-21-2007, 03:29 PM

That Colston catch was sick. But I'm thinking of firing up some Madden at halftime and just listening to the game on the radio until I'm finished.

MizzouRah · 01-21-2007, 03:29 PM

It's boring, but I'm winning my first bet of the day.

Greyroofoo · 01-21-2007, 03:30 PM

Nice throw by the big ten QB

Greyroofoo · 01-21-2007, 03:56 PM

PING: Texans

Thats the guy you could've had!

INDalltheway · 01-21-2007, 03:57 PM

molson · 01-21-2007, 04:12 PM

Logan · 01-21-2007, 05:35 PM

That was a really obnoxious rendition of the national anthem.

Though I did like her pump fake at the start.

Izulde · 01-21-2007, 05:43 PM

I'd have preferred the Saints to win, but I'm cool with the Bears winning because it's my sister's birthday today and she's a huge Bears fan, so it's an awesome birthday present for her.

miami_fan · 01-21-2007, 05:44 PM

The "bad cold" injury has hit the AFC Championship game.

SirFozzie · 01-21-2007, 05:46 PM

Here we go. If the Pats are going to win, we need the running game to work

Izulde · 01-21-2007, 05:48 PM

I just hope to hell the Patriots lose.

Greyroofoo · 01-21-2007, 05:50 PM

Agreed - but Maroney hasn't done anything since he came back from the injury. A big game from him would be huge.

st.cronin · 01-21-2007, 06:02 PM

HUGE! FUCKIN-A!

SirFozzie · 01-21-2007, 06:02 PM

HUGE run

airulf · 01-21-2007, 06:03 PM

Whoa, had that been Maroney og Faulk it would have been a score.

Just what I was thinking - Dillon's definitly lost a few steps.

Only for the Patriots against the Colts.

Eaglesfan27 · 01-21-2007, 06:05 PM

HOW did the Colts' let that fumble get away?

molson · 01-21-2007, 06:05 PM

I was terrified to watch the replay - but holy crap

RedKingGold · 01-21-2007, 06:06 PM
