After the Lions crush the Cowboys and restore the roar I'll need a new avatar. Maybe something in red.


I'm sorry Dutch.
 
well here is one way of looking at it..Andy id a prety decent regular season QB...Payton is one of the best if not the best ever regular season QB....Payton is an absolute joke in the playoffs..minus the year he got to face Rex lolol...he will choke again his year without doubt..but fact is no one ever considered ditching Payton afteryear after year of pplayoff failures....hey maybe Dalton will get it together one year and do it....after all he only has to win about 5 games to tie Payton
"good regular season QB who sucks in playoffs" is fan trash talk, not actual reality. Great QBs carry subpar teams to the playoffs by making sure they win every game against lesser competition. There is no lesser competition in the playoffs (with a few exceptions, sorry Arizona), so the magician's spell holds no power there, his team's ineptitude is finally exposed, and the great QB becomes a "choker".

Dalton could never be accused of being a good QB, much less a great one.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I still have no idea what type of team this Colts team is. They're either marginally good or the luckiest team on the planet who play in a terrible division.

It's the 2nd, they will get rocked next week.

But at least it'll be a free win for the Broncos and not the Pats!

So whats Mannings excuse for all those 14-2 13-3 juggernauts he brought to the playoffs...go back and watch some of those games and blame that on the "team" no it was payton air mailing every ball in sight or throwing it directly to the DBs...playoffs is the time were you see how thick your skin is...easy to beat the jags by 30 in the reg season, how you play when it matters is what counts
 
What does the Colts cap situation look like going into next year? They have to be able to make some big off season pickups right? They seem like they are few pickups away from being legit SB contenders.

Their biggest issue is not being able to run the ball. Otherwise the defense looks ok and Luck can definitely carry you to a playoff win. With two shitty coaches and playoff Manning, who knows what'll happen next week.

Which games are you referring to?

If this score holds, in Andy Dalton's 4 playoff games, the Bengals will have scored a total of 6 (SIX) 2nd half points, including being SHUT OUT in 3 of the 4 losses.

Unlike the Bengals the Broncos have actual weapons on offense. They aren't going to be stupid, and they will just run the ball down their throats because the Colts can't do shit to stop it.

Every game matters lol

Don't understand football confirmed. I bet the majority of you couldn't even look at a defense and tell me what a team is playing. Cover 2? 3-4? Loading up for the Nickel?

There isn't a coach in this league that wouldn't take Manning #1 overall knowing all that he would accomplish. If Manning played for the Pats and Belichick, or the Steelers when their defense was top 5, he'd have 5+superbowls. Not just because of his play, but because he would have had the team around him that he deserves.
