Which will you be more embarased by: When Indy doesn't get injured? Or when Indy wins?dragon002 said:
Perhaps the Colts will be just like the Pittsburgh teams of the past - dominate during the regular season and fall apart in the playoffs. Payton hasn't had the greatest success in post season play. The Colts should count their blessings that they get to play at home this year. I really think this is going to be a great game - maybe the best game of the weekend. The Steelers learned a lot from the last time they played at the RCA Center.

That is refreshing to hear a Steeler fan say no excuses that usually does not happen.

After choking repeatedly in the playoffs for the past 12-15 years, I think the problem is we're just running out of them.

1. The sound crew was artificially boosting crowd noise
2. The refs blew too many calls (on both teams)
I'll think of some more before Sunday
How about this one, to quote Chad Johnson:
"The league wants to see an Indianapolis-New England AFC Championship game."
Here is another one: Indy outthinks their opponents instead of playing smashmouth football.rjc3895 said:No way. I have my excuses ready to go.

From this FoxSports article:
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Joey Porter can talk all he wants, but the Indianapolis Colts aren't about to get into a shouting match with the Pittsburgh linebacker.
On Wednesday, Porter criticized the Colts for playing "soft" in their first meeting this season and challenged them to play smash-mouth football in Sunday's divisional playoff game.
Porter was highly critical of Indy because he apparently feels Indy tries to outthink its opponents rather than adopt a more physical style of play — like Pittsburgh's.
On Thursday, Colts players responded quietly, letting the usually stoic Tony Dungy handle it.
"I'm going to have to go back and watch the tape again after what Joey Porter said because I guess I didn't see it the same way he did," Dungy said Thursday as he held a yellow videotape in his hand. "But I don't think you can beat Pittsburgh without being a tough team."
Story continues...
What a crybaby
I agree. I'm a huge Steelers fan, but I think Porter needs another bullet in the butt. Why add fuel to the fire? There won't be a lot of Steeler fans in the crowd to begin with, and the Steelers will have their hands full dealing with the Indy offense. The Steelers D must play a flawless game (no dumb 15 yard penalties after stopping the oppenent on third downs).
We talked about his stupid comment during our afternoon break at work. The only thing we could think of him making that comment and Big Ben's comment "It’s going to take our A-plus game for us to go out and beat their B-minus game.” is that they are trying to lull Indy into being over confident. I don't think that strategy is going to work, but if they want to keep putting down their team, they can go ahead I guess.
the steelers D will be fine, the run will be shut down, on indys side.
it all depends ,on the steelers secondary , if they are on, we'll win
one major ???? mark being asked on the burghs talk radio, and i am serious!! will his sister eli be there to cheer him on??

Who has the experience, the browncos? Last time I watched Gerard Warren and Courtney Brown try to get to Tom Brady I damn near fell asleep...I believe the final score was 9-6...
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
What's the big deal about indy pumping in sound anyways? Makes sense, who in their right mind is any indy fan? EVERY other team in the league has fans in every city except indy. For such a good team they sure come off lame...Maybe a uniform upgrade is in order, it's not 1967 anymore...Reminds me of those 80's patriot uniforms...C'mon indy, join us in 2006 next year...
And that dome is lame-o too...everything about that team is lame right down to it's goober QB that nobody cares about...If they made it to the superbowl it may be the lowest rated SB ever...

I think he meant despite the Broncos being his favorite team, he voted for the Pats because they have the experience.
Thank you Jeff Triplette
That being said I hope either the Broncos or Steelers represent the AFC in the Super Bowl.
