As a small consolation, though, the #2 we get from SD is looking like a top half of the second round pick now, much better than expected when we made the trade. And there is a second wildcard.also a storyline...
the colts are making the playoffs as a wildcard...
the rest of their schedule is very soft, and the titans will let them win their last game if needed as a thanks for last season...
The zebras strike again. Why does the NFL so blatantly hand games to QB's named Pay-me-a-ton or Lord Favrequard. I am really tired of seeing this.
The NFL is like pro fake wrestling.
The Colts, Cowboys, Jets are favorites by refs because of Goodell, Polian, Jones.
The Steelers routinely get jobbed.
Yup. Did you see that 4th down spot! Just as they start to measure, the ref ever so slyly slides the ball back, and they were short. Great break for the Colts
I know it's hard to see points sometimes, but my contention is that, by virtue of the refs NOT awarding the Colts a first, the OP's arguement is null and void. I think the SPOT was good, as Marv caught the ball in what appeared to be the "crook" of his right arm, on the "first down" side of his body. Those yellow lines are for ****, and the camera crew never really honed in on the first down marker relative to where the catch was made. But no, I agree, no first down should have been awarded. But funny how close it ended up, especially after the ref moved the ball just as they were lining up the measurement.Sure.... But the ball shouldn't have been within a foot of where it was anyway. Not to mention the initial overly generous spot, and then the second spot when the ref moved the ball forward, and ten the attempt to give the Colts the first down when it clearly wasn't one.
Wow, it really takes some big brass ones to complain about this one.

PI on Wayne was clear. Contact all the way up the field as the ball is in the air. Easy call.
The pick? Wayne's defender initiated contact. Defender two decides to engage as well, rather than either switching, or back-peddaling to get to Wayne. Clark was a bit iffy, but appeared the defender was holding his arm. Not as egregious as your man in the endzone of that AFCCG, that turned a sure TD into a FG. No matter. Colts won that one too.
Notice a number of illegal hands to Frenney's face? Yeah, didn't think so
