Chargers did Colts a favor

[Bella*chick]

Oh please. Bottom line here is whoever won that game was going to cause the people here to worry. Because someone had to win.

If the Colts had ended up winning looking as bad as they did, people would have just said they were looking ahead to play us. And it may well have been true.

The only way fans would not worry is if the Miami Dolphins traded places with whoever won the game

Kind of like the way we did the Colts a favor by beating San Diego last season?

There is that to be thankful for at least. We won't have to worry about the zebras' Colts favoritism.

If the Colts were beaten by Billy Volek with LT and Gates all but on the sidelines, what in the world would we have done to that team with no pass rush as well as payback for last year. It would have gotten ugly. Tommy would have dropped 45 on them and BB would had to have to call off the dogs. The best part of all would have been Polian up in the pressbox tearing the place up, man the reports from Tommy Curran would have been classic on the Polian antics.

The Chargers really did do them a favor. I know one group that really wanted to see the Colts get embarrased in Foxboro and that was that group of zebras and those bogus calls again in the RCA Dome, man it's getting old. It's like Smerlas was saying on EEI on the drive home, why don't the officials just hand the Colts 10pts at the start of the game and save themselves the embarrassment of the calls.

chargers doesn't do pats any favor. What it actually did was Colts is not a good team.

After winning 1 SB game, Colts is certainly the BEST team when Colts did not finish Chargers last Sunday.?

they are overrated.

Huh?

Who let my alcoholic Uncle loose in the forum?

It's OK, Uncle Rick, sleep it off.

I agree that San Diego is the more problematic team. It was strange, last Sunday, because I was rooting for Manning to hit his receivers and for the Colts to score a TD. They had so many chances at it. They totally sucked. That made me happy, too, but I wanted the Pats to steamroll them.

After the game, a friend called me, totally excited that the Colts were eliminated. I told her she was an idiot to be scared of the Colts this post-season. She's one of those who's only started watching football in the last three years... you know what I'm saying. Wears the #12 jersey to bars on Sundays.

The Indy secondary is pretty decent, but their DL is paper thin-- they can be out-physical'd and, late in the game, they get winded because their depth sucks. I'm convinced we could run or pass on them with no real pass rush. On the other side of the ball, their passing game only has two weapons, Wayne and Clark, and we match up well with them. Addai can be contained with a conventional front. EASY.

San Diego, is far more daunting. They are stronger and deeper at almost all positions. They match up against our weaknesses. Both OL and DL are big and physical and deep. Without LT, they lose some star appeal in the running game, but Turner is legit and their running game is really a product of their linemen. Our run D can be abused up the middle if they double Wilfork, and that's not something I'm eager for the Chargers to test. Other side of the ball, San Diego has a secondary that is improved since our last matchup, with Cromartie starting. Its hard to read how much better they are now... good enough to take Moss and Welker out of the game? IDK. And their front seven are (and have been for a while) awesome, with a great pass rush and quality run stoppers. Kaczur will have his hands full. I don't expect Moroney to be as effective as he was against the Jags against that front.

Manning picked a bad game to come back to earth. He looked bad bad bad, scambling out of the pocket, throwing off balance, patting his feet the way he does when he knows he's held the ball too long. It was all about coverage, and his receivers weren't doing him many favors. Damn Colts for losing too soon.
