    The Road to SuperBowl XLIV: The Official 2010 NFL Playoffs Thread

    True... I know, I'm not sure what the answer is either, but there has to be something. It's become standard technique against the Colts now - they find something they can exploit and run the no huddle to keep you in that setup, so you fake an injury to slow them down and get a chance to sub...

    The Road to SuperBowl XLIV: The Official 2010 NFL Playoffs Thread

    There aren't any local radio shows on in the morning, so I haven't had a chance to "get the pulse" that way... I think if you read the post I just made, most of those things have been echoed by those I've talked to here at work this morning. Overall, it's more a feeling of disappointment than...

    The Road to SuperBowl XLIV: The Official 2010 NFL Playoffs Thread

    Random thoughts from a Colts fan - First, the Saints outplayed and (probably more importantly) out coached the Colts and deserved to win the game. They acted like they wanted it more. Congratulations to them and to the city of New Orleans. If they hadn't beaten the Colts I'd be really happy for...

    But probably not as enjoyable as it was for me to watch the Giants beat the Pats a couple of years ago. ;)

    That seems weird... does Brett Favre routinely stand around half naked in his kitchen, taking pictures of himself? There are only two possibilities: 1. These pictures aren't really him 2. He's really desperate to give people a reason to think a little better of the horrendous pass he threw...

    Here's another way to look at this: I don't think the Vikings defense is any better than the Colts', and that game last week wouldn't even have been close had the Vikings not dipped their hands in a tub of melted butter on the sidelines before every possession, or had the king of catastrophe...

    Yes, it would. If you look back at playoff losses in recent years where the defense couldn't get a stop in critical moments (don't get me wrong, the offense gets their share of the blame, too), most of the time Freeney was not playing or not at his peak because of injury. That being said, if...

    No bias in that prediction, I'm sure. It's still about points, the last time I checked. Consider this: Including playoffs, the Saints have only held 5 opponents under 20 points all year. The Colts, on the other hand, have only given up more than 20 points 6 times, and two of those were the last...

    I said they appear to be going in opposite directions (Manning up, Brady down) at the moment - as in, look at what Peyton is doing in this year's playoffs vs what Brady did... look at how their respective teams seem to be going (I don't see the Patriots returning to the "glory days" anytime...

    Two other things that can't be overlooked: 1. Who had the better team around them early in the decade? 2. Who's been better in nearly every way (including head to head and SB wins) in the last few years? If we were having this discussion 3 or 4 years ago (or maybe even during the Patriots...

    Easy - he's Peyton Manning, and they're not.... Peyton had a really hard time in certain situations (big games) and against certain teams early in his career, but I'm to the point now that I don't doubt him anymore. He's entered the realm of Montana, Elway and Marino in at least one way: you...

    The Colts couldn't care less what anyone says, does, or puts on their website, which is one of the things that makes them a great team.... As far as the shirts go, you're right - it's not a big deal - I am just so tired of the Jets' made-up attitudes... I guess it's just the difference in...

    This is typical of the kind of idiocy coming out of Jet-land this week. Another example is in this article on the Star's website about the Jets playing with a "chip on their shoulder" because the Colts supposedly disrespected them, even though none of them can point to anything that the Colts...

    The problem is that the NFL is trying to get fans to care about it by putting it before the Super Bowl. I guess now there's a football game to fill that void during the bye week, so more people probably will watch it, but will we care? Heck, no - especially without one or two (or three?) of the...

    Sorry, I took the "they won fair and square" comment to mean that you thought the win was... well, a win. A legitimate win. I don't see it that way - sorry if I misunderstood what you were saying.

    I'm not sure how you can say that. Did they have a chance? Sure. But the fact remains that the Colts best players didn't play the last quarter and a half, so there's no way you can extrapolate what happened to what would have happened had they all played. That being said, the Colts losing to...

    Not sure I buy that. My math is a little shaky, but I think 10 points for a TD is still better than 6, right, so by your logic everyone would do the same thing anyway.... A TD is a TD. Just because Quarterbacks get more TD's than other people doesn't mean they would be inherently worth more -...

    Fantasy Football Reminder

    Of course, right about now I remember one of my pet peeves about Fantasy - why is a passing TD worth less than one of another kind? It makes no sense..... a TD is a TD, and there's no way the 25th best RB should be worth the same as a top flight QB.

    I feel pretty good about mine, but who knows... I screwed up a bit on my late round running back picks, and I'm a little weak at RB overall, but I knew that would be the case when I picked Brady #1. I'm banking on something close to his performance of a couple years ago.... I typically pick RB...

    Anyone want to start a Fantasy Football League?

    The problem with having things spread so thin is that if you have one guy that goes for 100 yds and two touchdowns that team is pretty much guaranteed to win, because the other team doesn't have enough talent to offset it. At least if you have more than one or two good players you have a...
