It certainly affected the outcome of the season more.This is a bigger deal than SpyGate.

I know your joking, but this is the whole "psychology" of this thread as I referenced earlier. I get it, I'd probably feel the same way.

Tweaking your matchup is entirely different than deciding who makes the playoffs - especially when both parties involved are on the competition committee.What's the big deal?
We blatantly THREW the Miami game last year to get a better matchup.

Hypocritical to call them out when it's done all the time.
He means the year before when Cassel played most of the game and Flutie did the drop kick. It gave us Jacksonville instead of Pittsburgh in the first round - it didn't change who made the playoffs, though, and wasn't done with a co-competition committee member.If you're talking the 21-0 game, we flat-out got whipped.

I get the psychology of this, on this board, but I don't see anything here.
Not just because its the Colts, I'd say the same thing for any team.
You could make this reaching argument on ANY kneel down that the Defense doesn't just ATTACK the offense as soon as its snapped.
Do you think if a team is up 10 and takes a kneel down to kill the clock with 30 seconds left the D line should smash into the Center and QB just in case the ball comes out, they recover, run it back for a touchdown, kick off, get the ball on a fumble, and then score ANOTHER TOUCHDOWN?????
Screw Cleveland, they controlled their own destiny in week 15 and lost. That is on them.
Sorry, I meant 2 years ago (Flutie drop-kick game). How time flies!
Yes, we threw that game to get a better match-up.
The question, I suppose, is whether it's much more immoral to throw a game in order to affect WHO gets in...............
Imagine that we're playing the Jets in the last game of the year. If the Jets win, the Colts are OUT of the playoffs (a wild-card thingy). If the Pats win, the Jets are eliminated and the Colts are in the playoffs.
Would you have a problem with us throwing the game to the Jets to ensure that we don't have to face the Colts in the playoffs?
3.) What part of "collusion" keeps eluding you?
