GO COLTS, hope it's a good game, and gets me swearing but happy in the end. I want to play New England again, and smoke them twice this year.

The strange thing about the Steelers is that they have almost the same exact players from last year (plus Willie Parker), I'm not really sure how they started the season so roughly.

The thing that Bronco and Colts fans should be concerned with is that yes, both teams beat New England this year... but against... what defense? And they stopped... what running game? Exactly. RB Corey Dillon is back. RB Kevin Faulk is back. WR Troy Brown is back. DE Richard Seymour is back. IL Tedy Bruschi is back. CB Ellis Hobbs the rookie has matured into a decent cornerback to strenthen up the secondary.

If only Rodney Harrison was still there... then the defense would feel complete.
I'm not overly worried about the Broncos though. #1 ranked rushed offense... that rushed for 170 yards against New England's second-stringers. This Saturday they get to run into Mike Vrabel and Tedy Brsuchi.

After their running game gets shut down, they'll turn to Jake Plummer so he can get sacked 5 times by Willie McGinest.

BYE BYE DENVER!

Seahawks win
Broncos win

Steelers winning at halftime

Wow :/

WTL · 01-15-06, 03:42 PM

I'm pulling hard for the Steelers right now - they came to play. Also great to see the Pats go down, don't dislike them personally but they've been too prosperous.

TackleTester · 01-15-06, 05:41 PM

i dont know what to say.....the best team ever assembled just lost............

bassinbob · 01-15-06, 06:32 PM

I told you guys who was going to win. Even though they robbed Polamoloua of an interception and the Bus fumbled. Roll on Steelers!!!!

Bob

Sluggo Man · 01-15-06, 09:33 PM

If they were the best team ever assembled, they wouldn't have lost.

I am now convinced that the Colts franchise just sucks. First it's "boo-hoo, teams are too rough on our receivers!" So they change the rules to only allowing contact within 5 yards.
Then it's "the weather sucks, boo-hoo, we need homefield in our dome!"

But of course, you need the easiest schedule ever to get that #1 seed. So the National Football League gives it to them, they get the #1 seed, they play the NUMBER 6 SEED, and they lose.

Best team ever? Not even close.

KH. · 01-16-06, 02:11 AM

overatted,but still a solid team.wtl, he is from indy you know

angelus40 · 01-16-06, 02:14 AM

with plamer out next season will be different when he returns

WTL · 01-16-06, 02:16 AM

Palmer's knee exploded. Now he is a qb so it is possible to play on a bad knee, ask Joe Willy and Dan Marino, but he tore a mcl, acl and the other ligament. In other words, hes got a lot, a lot of rehab to do.
For some that is a career ending injury.

TackleTester · 01-16-06, 10:48 AM

Bad day was right....lol...Sorry about that....I will honestly say that the Colts were not overrated tho....They had a tremendous year and beat several very good football teams. I think they were waaaaaaayyyyyyyyy too rusty after not having played in a month.....Anyway, sorry about that.

Btw, we did get 3 late Christmas presents from the refs....I'm still trying figure out how that wasnt an interception....lol

Brian

Dyas · 01-16-06, 11:16 AM

Whats done is done..... Whats the news on Shaun Alexander. How serious is his injury. Is he going to play next week???????!!!

WTL · 01-16-06, 01:57 PM

Slight concussion, will almost certainly play. Ironically it was Cornelius Griffin who gave him the concussion - both I think were captains their Sr year at Alabama.

Dyas · 01-16-06, 02:16 PM

Well at least he is still hittin hard lol......

bassnman30 · 01-16-06, 02:38 PM

Go Panthers. Kickin butt and takin names. Super bowl, here we come.

striker23 · 01-16-06, 03:35 PM

yeeah carolina is on fire! especially steve smith, no one should even try to cover him.

WTL · 01-17-06, 05:07 PM

I thought I'd post a link to a video of Coach Shula reading a letter from a former Alabama walkon - turned marine, Nathan Cox about the war in Iraq and the national pastime.

Sluggo Man · 01-18-06, 02:14 PM

Did you hear that the NFL is looking into making a new rule about tackling someone at knee level?

angelus40 · 01-18-06, 05:48 PM

no would be nice

WTL · 01-18-06, 06:37 PM

Lizards, maybe we define "great team" differently. The 72 Dolphins, 85 Bears, 94 Niners and the 2004 Pats were great teams. This years Colts were very good, but not down the stretch when it counted. The "a bit overrated" remark wasn't meant as a personal stab at them, its very, very easy in this world of hype and ESPN to become overrated overnight.

By the way, has anybody noticed that the 4 teams left, the Steelers, Panthers, Seahawks and Broncos were all terribly underrated for most of the year? Out of those 4, the Seahawks are the only team thats really had any hype at all.

Sluggo Man · 01-18-06, 09:50 PM

Let's face it, the teams that get the hype get it because of individual players.

Teams that got a lot of hype:

Colts - Peyton Manning
Patriots - Tom Brady
Giants - Tiki Barber
Seahawks - Shaun Alexander
Falcons (before they fell out of the playoff race) - Mike Vick
Chiefs - Larry Johnson

Of course, who gets the most hype depends on the sports network. Just from the ones I watch, I found these teams to be the most hyped... and it always resulted from one individual.

Dyas · 01-18-06, 09:56 PM

Thats how hype works......

Sluggo Man · 01-20-06, 02:10 PM

Anyways... predictions...

Denver over Pittsburgh... Both very good teams, but Denver is nearly unbeatable up in the high climate. To be honest I would probably pick the Steelers if the game was in Pittsburgh, but it's in Denver.

Seattle over Carolian... Very similar reason. Very good teams, but Seattle will have a slight edge due to homefield.

Sluggo Man · 01-23-06, 01:05 PM

Prediction: Seahawks 23, Steelers 17
