I'm thinking starts with a P and ends in an N with OLIA somewhere in the middle..close?

Metaphors

um, no. you have to have possession all the way to the ground on sideline plays, forceouts, etc. Not when you catch a ball with both feet on the ground, turn to run, get hit and fumble on the way down. don't mind you sticking up for your guys, but try not to make up stuff and present it as fact.

The thing that bothers me is that they took a correct call on the field and substituted an incorrect call after review. That should never happen. I'm sure Troy Polamalu would agree. That embarrasing episode helped lead to the demise of the whole "making a football act" travesty. I doubt anything good will come from this one I'm afraid.

Every team has bad calls against them, and usually the fans are quite outspoken on message boards immediately after the game. Some of the calls are 50/50 but every so often a really bad call gets a lot of attention. I just wonder how many times the Colts boards have fans complaining about bad calls against the ponies.....let me guess that the number is small or non-existent. The absence or low number of bad calls yet again suggests that the Colts are beating the odds....

I am still waiting to witness a bad call against the Colts, having seen many over the years with at least a few for almost every other team.

Cant wait for Polian to resign - then Karma can collect its due.

The Chargers game had alot of bad calls against the Colts including a quick whistle that cost us a touchdown or at least a FG...I didn't complain about it because we played so bad in that game we didn't deserve to win anyway..

It's not all the way to the ground it untill he as two feet down on the ground. I didn't watch the game but if what you say is right and his feet were down then it should have been a fumble. Oki just saw the paly on the highlights it was clearly a fumble.

IMO, bad calls are often like turnovers. And you have to overcome turnovers and will anyway. That's not to say I don't care about bad calls. But there isn't much you can do about them after they happened.

Key difference is that turnovers are your own fault, bad calls aren't.

The whistle was an unfortunate incident, not a bad call. It didnt cost the Colts a TD or FG as the whistle also stopped the chargers from pursuing. As it so happened the right call was made, ie it was an interception.

Yes there were calls in that game that were 50/50 (which homers are always going to say were bad), but there were none that were clearly bad enough for other team's fans to agree with Colts fans that they were robbed.

The Polomalu interception in the AFCC game two years ago is an example where everyone including fans of most NFL teams (even some Colts fans) agreed the call was really bad.

I am not sure it is favoritism, but calls favoring the Colts happen with enough regularity to annoy a large number of fans from many different teams.

I'm a witness to this guilt, the officials literally robbing a game ending int in the playoffs from my boy troy polamalu.

What are you talking about? Since this guy has no weight on his right foot, unless he can levitate, there's no way that left foot "drags", as you so glibly put it.

More infantile logic from the Indy Colt Twilight Zone...
