Colts Chargers game

[Partial]

This should be a pretty good game. I really am not sure who I want to win, but I guess I'd like to see the Patriots and Colts play again. In that case, I guess go Colts!!

[BallHawk]

Both teams just exchanged turnovers. INT by Rivers and then fumble by Harrison.

Interesting game so far.

[Fosco33]

Being in SoCal - the Bolts are the team I see lots of.... I'd love to see a Charger-Packer rematch. Likely the 'easiest' of the remaining 3 AFC teams as well.

Besides Harrison's fumble - the Colts have looked extremely sharp today (almost mirror image of the Pats last night).

I wasn't too worried about the Colts late in the season as they were injury riddled - but they've gotten healthy and are defending the championship - they'd be my least favorite team to play against in Arizona in February.

I thought the Colts were gonna capitalize and go up 2 TDs early. And unlike yesterday - I'd withhold my prejudgement of the outcome. :lol:

[Fosco33]

Crazy that Vinatieri's longest attempt in a year was 39 yards....

Colts get the FG but the Bolts have stepped up and made a game of this...

[GBRulz]

I don't really care who wins this game. It's a good time to clean up around the house, snowblow the driveway and get ready for the Giants/Boys game.

How much snow did you guys end up with? Judging from the field it looked like about 2 inches by the end of the game.

[Fosco33]

Come on - this is one of the last 4 games... how can you not want to watch it.

[Partial]

Peyton Manning is pretty untouchable in that dome. I wonder how his career would match up with Favre's if he played in GB.

[Partial]

Cromartie is really athletic. Probably one of the best jocks in th league.

Too bad for that hold. Went from an 89 yard touchdown to a kneel down.

Go Colts!!

That hold was complete BS. It was a legit block - the Colt defender hip tossed #32.

Huge - huge - huge call.

# 32 for Boltz didn't hold or blocked in the back - ref hoax! If anything, the hold was on #32. Maybe it happened earlier during the int.?

[PlantPage55]

A COMPLETE "Peyton Manning call"! A phantom fucking hold if I ever saw one.

The NFL referee committee should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for trotting out these assholes every week,

[mmmdk]

It has happened in the NBA.

It has happened in the German Bundes league (soccer).

It has happened in the English Premier league (soccer).

It has happened in the Italian Seria A (soccer).

Are NFL refs rigged?

[PlantPage55]

Are NFL refs rigged?

I wouldn't doubt it. But why would they care that much about getting Peyton into these games? I mean, they already have him in every commercial.... :lol:

[Brewhaha]

How are they going to make any calls next week with NE and IND on the same field???

[PlantPage55]

Well, we KNOW there will at least be the usual 1 Personal Foul by Rodney Harrison, minimum. :lol:

[Partial]

Look for the Chargers to come out jacked up. I suspect they march it down the field even without LT.

[mmmdk]

I hope Boltz win; I even predicted it in the divisional game thread on PR.

I was 4-0 in wild card weekend; 2-0 so far this weekend :D

[Fosco33]

Former Badger Chambers contributing to the Bolts first lead. Nice!

It hasn't stopped snowing since the game. It's almost done now, but we picked up about 6 inches of snow.

[Freak Out]

Rivers playing great ATM....and I was one of the many that thought he was the weak link that would lead to the Bolts demise. Not so far.

[Partial]

Wow, thats a lot of snow. Traffic must have been hell after the game and around the town last night!!

[pbmax]

Has anyone noticed that CBS is having that same feedback problem from the Patriots (@ Indy regular season) game even when the crowd is quite?

Weird feedback.

[pbmax]

I wish Rastak was here to tell us Ted Cotrell stories.

Geat catch by the D lineman. Wow.

[GBRulz]

Wow, thats a lot of snow. Traffic must have been hell after the game and around the town last night!!

Alot of people just stayed around and tailgated some more. By the time we left, traffic was pretty clear. That is one thing that the GBPD is awesome about though....they really get the cars out of the lots quickly.

It was so awesome...everyone was just high fiving each other and were totally pumped up. I can only imagine what next week will be like WHEN we win!

I say WHEN we play in the SB, all you WI rats come to GB and we'll go catch the game at Stadium View !!

[GBRulz]

Great play by Reggie Wayne.

[Bretsky]

TD San Diego

Man Sproles is FAST

Keep the stories comin' - all week!

[PlantPage55]

That was an UNBELIEVABLE phantom pass interference call.

I can't believe it. I'm livid and actually speechless. How can these refs sleep at night?

Am I wrong?

[BallHawk]

Manning really gets a lot of calls to go his way. The PI on Hart was just BS.

[BallHawk]

How can these refs sleep at night?

They have pillows stuffed with wads of bribe money. :wink:

[PlantPage55]

How can these refs sleep at night?

They have pillows stuffed with wads of bribe money. :D

:lol: They really do, don't they?

I'll say this, that penalty was the first time I've ever kicked my own furniture over a NON-Packer game.

That was an inexcusable, bold-faced, right in front of everyone's eyes, screw job.

[mmmdk]

This is a strange game; refs really involved...not good!

[woodbuck27]

The cream rising to the top.

P Manning a 55 yard TD pass and run to A. Gonzalez. This Rookie WR is going to be a good one, he has that moxie. I had hopes that maybe TT might select him last April.

Great presence to know where the OB line was and to keep his feet in the field of play.

This is a better game than I thought it would be. I thought It'd be over by the 3rd quarter.

I expect that Indy will win but I bet they don't cover. They we're about 50-50 covering this season and San Diego has a decent 'D'.

Just looking at this . . . and well WOW!!

Rushing Yards

1 R. Grant, GB, 201 :) Way too cool.
2 L. Maroney, NE, 122

Anybody grope ya?

Maybe you didn't give a DAM after that game? Full of L.O.V.E. :)

[Bretsky]

PAYTON MANNING

4 MINUTES LEFT
78 YARDS TO GO FOR THE WIN


I'D STILL BET ON DA COLTS

[Partial]

San Diego has won 10/12. They're playing good ball right here. If they win with Rivers and LT on the bench that would be making a pretty strong statement. Sproles and the guy everyone wants us to sign (#33) are doing pretty well.

[Bretsky]

4TH and 5 at the 36

[Partial]

4th and 5 right here. No sense in kicking since you're down by 4. On the 35 yard line. Would be a 53 yard kick.

I'm not sure what sort of playing I run here. I would do my best to put the ball in VJacks hands, though. Dude is a stud.

[Partial]

Dallas Clarke comes up big right there.

[woodbuck27]

Oh WOW Billy Volek:

Are we seeing a story here? Volek runs it in fr. 1 yard to send the Chargers on top 28-24 with 3:02 remaining in the 4th Qtr.

This is a surprize.

[Partial]

Gotta say I have not been impressed with the Indy defense. Seems like NE would put up 50 against them.

[Bretsky]

4th and Goal !!

[Partial]

Merriman with the near sack and huge play!!

[Bretsky]

WOW

Merriman

Playmaker

NICE CLOCK work by the Colts employees

Somehow that play only took 5 seconds so there is 2:01 left and the Chargers have to run a play so the Colts didn't have to take a time out

[Partial]

Stuffed for nothing. With 2:01 left that play certainly worked out in favor of the Colts. This one isn't over yet.

[mmmdk]

Not over - crazy game.

[Partial]

Well, here goes. 2nd and 10. Let's see if the Indy D can prove me wrong right here.

3rd and 4 right here. 1:49 left!

[Bretsky]

Well, here goes. 2nd and 10. Let's see if the Indy D can prove me wrong right here.

3rd and 6 right here. 1:49 left!

He should have kept running wide

I think I'd still run here and make them burn a TO

[Partial]

Big time down right here. Biggest play of the game. Let's see if Sanders makes a big time play to earn his title.

And he does! Chargers with a 4th down with 1:42 left. Both teams have 1 TO left.

[GBRulz]

I guess I would have gone for the FG. They had enough TO's if they were to stop SD and get the ball back

[Bretsky]

3rd and 4 right here. 1:49 left!


No win for Turner

If he passes and they have an incompletion he gets ripped

If he runs he gets accuses of not going for it

I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THE INDY CLOCKKEEPER ONLY RAN 5 SECOND OFF OF THAT PLAY

[Partial]

68 yards to go, 1 TO, 1:30 left.

Can the NFL's most prominent figure do it?

[woodbuck27]

Ok the Chargers will punt and with about 1 min 30 seconds we will see P. Manning go to work.

This is a real test for him.

[Bretsky]

I guess I would have gone for the FG. They had enough TO's if they were to stop SD and get the ball back


Not sure; SD had just scored

With better field position then San Diego would have tried to pass to get the 1st down.

[Partial]

Merriman is an animal off the edge. He is lucky he got that ball off and not swatte right out of his hand!

[Bretsky]

68 yards to go, 1 TO, 1:30 left.

This will be touch; Chargers are going to keep them in bounds

[GBRulz]

wow. that was an atari-like hit

[Bretsky]

A Bigby like hit there

[Partial]

That was a hell of a hit. It forced an incompletion, and it forced Indy to use a timeout on an incomplete pass due to the injury. Personally, I think its a bullshit rule to force the use a timeout after an incomplete pass.

[woodbuck27]

Timeout #3 by IND at 01:03.

3-5 IND37 (1:08) (Shotgun) P.Manning pass incomplete deep middle to R.Wayne (M.McCree). IND-R.Wayne was injured during the play.

2-5 IND37 (1:13) (No Huddle, Shotgun) P.Manning pass incomplete short left to J.Addai.

1-10 IND32 (1:30) (Shotgun) P.Manning pass short middle to J.Addai to IND 37 for 5 yards (D.Florence).

[mmmdk]

That's gotta hurt :shock:

[Partial]

Harrison and Wayne are both out for 4th down. San Diego just got the win!!!!

[GBRulz]

Rivers yelling at the fans. Classy

[Partial]

Rivers is a classless son of a bitch.

[GoPackGo]

Sweet-Go Bolts!

[Bretsky]

Patriots, Meet Super Bowl

[woodbuck27]

4-5 IND37 (1:03) (Shotgun) P.Manning pass incomplete short right to D.Clark.

San Diego takes over on downs and will upset the Colts. WOW!

[GBRulz]

well, let's hope the other Manning is still playing one more week !!

[woodbuck27]

Now for a good look at the competition.

Anybody else watching Giants at Boys? :)

[mmmdk]

Rivers is a classless son of a bitch.

Again - he did it vs own fans too. Cheaters will eat Rivers or Volek.

[woodbuck27]

Patriots, Meet Super Bowl

I'm a little shocked but the Chargers have looked great the last 7-8 games. As good as any team in the NFL.

[Freak Out]

Dungy shows his class by being very gracious in defeat. Same goes for Manning...didn't run and hide after the game.

:wow: Bolts go on the road and win it.

They've looked really good; but they are very banged up after today. Without the injuries I don't think they have the offensive firepower to match up with NE.
With the injuries............

[digitaldean]

Yup, have to think that NE already has the bags packed for Phoenix.

All it takes is one Rivers INT and NE will have it locked up by halftime.

Hate to think what Vegas is putting as the line on the AFC championship.

As FreakOut pointed out:

"Dungy shows his class by being very gracious in defeat. Same goes for Manning...didn't run and hide after the game"

BB should take notice..........and emulate. Same goes for Brady.

Yeah but Cheaters have their playbook plus all sorts of film...the Brady bunch and what not!

[Lurker64]

Well... we're picking 30th or 31st now. Let's trade down...

[Bretsky]

Well... we're picking 30th or 31st now.



Hope you are right; the Fox guys were just arguing if GB will beat Dallas if they win

[Lurker64]

We'll pick 30th or 31st unless San Diego and a team other than Green Bay advance to the superbowl, in which case we'll pick 29th.

Here's how it works out.

Green Bay advances to the Superbowl and plays New England: We pick 31st, win or lose.

Dallas Advances to the Superbowl and plays New England: We pick 30th, by virtue of a better record than the Indianapolis Colts.

New York Advances to the Superbowl and plays New England: We pick 30th, by virtue of a better record than the Colts and the Cowboys.

Interestingly, I think the Giants can only pick 26th, 30th, or 31st, the latter two only occurring if NYG makes the superbowl.
