I know your board is pretty tight to visitors JC, but our mods are very fair. Not that you were ever a trouble maker like me

I got banned from the chargers board for "defending a cheater" that was the reason your mods gave me.

Have some fun posting here. We're like every other board. some will welcome you and some will tell you leave. Overall, there's some pretty good members here. The key is for you to find them!

have fun!

I think there have been some transitions the Colts have had to go through this year that haven't gone as seemlessly as they could have and the Colts haven't quite been clicking on all cylinders like they were last year because of the integration of new players due to injury and timing, schemes etc. didn't go as well as it could have. I also do have to blame Dungy a little bit because I think the way they ended the season was weak, and they rested Manning and his newer teammates a little too much, when they could have been fine tuning and practicing during in-game situations, the way Brady was with his new receivers when he was "running up the score" by playing a full 60 minutes.

Manning choked.

"Manning choked in a HUGE way today"

I mean, that's just sad.

Did you just start watching football?

I don't see it. I still think New England has 3 SB wins (okay, maybe 2), and maybe Indy has 1 more. In that respect, without Brady & New England, Peyton might very well have 2-3 by now w/ Indy.

Kind of like Agassi. Without Sampras, he'd be the one w/ 12-14 majors, but he's still regarded as a great. Just not as good as the very best of all time.

I have to admit, my comments are just my slighted opinion. It's a debate which can never be resolved, but fun never the less.

To close the game out, he went 1 for 7 with a pick.
That's not exactly "clutch".

Probably long before you were born, choke fairy.

Manning was spotted 7 points by the refs, and another imaginary pass interference that was a perfect scoring opportunity, and like usual he couldn't deliver.
