Divisional playoff game thread: Colts @ Chiefs

[supafly]

Anyone optimistic about going into KC next week is a fool. It’ll be like going into Denver in 2013.

I don’t think anyone should be pessimistic, but it would pose a huge challenge.

Weather reminds me a bit of the 2003 AFC Chsmpionship game in Foxboro vs Fivehead.

I can see why a lot of Pats fans think that the Colts can win this game and have tried to make justifications why they can: because they're afraid of the Chiefs and want the Colts to win, thinking it'll be the easier game (that, and homefield).

To that, I would say this-- I want the Chiefs. I want the Chiefs in their home stadium, and I want the Rams or Saints in the Superbowl. I want the "hardest" games, in the worst conditions possible, so that when we win, nobody will be able to say a goddamn thing. We've already beaten the Chiefs and the Saints are overrated as hell, but both teams are great, and I'd love nothing more than to beat both of them just to see the sh*t eating grins of the media that have claimed the Patriots are done.

Why would you want anything else?

Of course Dungy picks the Colts... lol

This should be fun. Playoffs outside in the elements is so much more enjoyable than the domes.

Gotta go with the outdoor team at home in bad weather.. would love to be wrong though.

Because no one ever remembers how easy a road you had, they only remember whether you won or lost. That’s all that matters.

That may be how it works in New England (or wherever you live) but here in Los Angeles, that doesn't fly.

Strength of schedule is a huge talking point in the sports bars and barbershops I frequent.

Forecast in Arrowhead next Sunday: 21 degrees.

I’m ok with that

Love watching football in the snow....looking forward to this game

I hope the colts win but they probably won’t

Chris Collingsworth looks old... damn I'm getting old man. I remember when this guy was a spring chicken. Now he looks like a Thanksgiving Turkey on Wednesday.

I’m going to go with “dramatically increasing our odds of winning a Super Bowl” for $100, Alex.

As long as I'm indoors, I agree with you...

 

[Observer]

Too much hype... when does this game start?

 

[SHOWTIME15]

I hate both of these teams and their fanbases

 

[A Defiant Goose]

LET'S …Go....colts?

Winter is here.

 

[Brandon Manning]

Eh. Still think Chiefs blow Indy out. Dont like a dome team playing in the cold. Looks like the Pats will have to do it the hard way.

 

[Its_The_Patriots]

Nice run Colts.
