Imagine if the Colts win another game and remove themselves from
the #1 overall pick slot.
That would be comical.

The rams don't need a QB, they have Bradford.

Even if they lost that pick, there's plent of great fucking defensive players on that LSU team that will be available after Luck goes.

I understand. From my advantage point, it would be hilarious if the team with the most need at QB and in contention for the #1 overall pick suddenly gets "hot" and removes themselves from the chance.

With the Colts winning yesterday (and playing the Jags in two weeks), the Vikings and Rams are back in the Andrew Luck sweepstakes. But Indy holds the tiebreakers.

I saw a lot of that game yesterday because I had to turn the fucking Bears off. I will give the Colts fans credit. They've hung in there with that team.

Yup, it was a full crowd that stayed for the duration of the game and was loud throughout. Not too many 0-13 teams can make that claim.

COLTS WIN! COLTS WIN! COLTS WIN!!!!!!

Yeah I know it's only one win but damn it feels good! Proud of the team for hanging there and putting forth one hell of an effort. Props to coach Caldwell for keeping the guys fighting despite the record. What a great day to be a Colts fan, first we get the news of Peyton practicing this week with pads for the first time all year, then we get a victory. The team played well today and it was a well deserved win!

Kudos on the victory. I really didn't thi k they had it in them. I was wrong. Congrats dude. I know it's been a hard year and getting one, no matter how meaningless to the big picture has to feel good.

Appreciate that. It has been a horrible year, but this win feels great. 0-16 would have been an absolute worst nightmare. This season is bad enough already, we did not need that.

What's your take on the Texans situation and whether they will rest any players this Thursday?

I remember when the Orioles started their season 0-22...people were heading to the stadium in DROVES cause they wanted to be there when they finally won a game. Die hards!

I don't think they'll rest anybody, although they probably should. A lot of players are banged up and with their loss yesterday, they probably can 't improve their seeding no matter what. Getting healthy is more important than victories at this point, but Kubiak doesn't like to sit players.

[WTF]

If the Texans rest too many guys they may end up with the same record as the Best Team In NY....

Rex Ryan on Jets-Giants game on Saturday: 'I never came here to be little brother to anyone. So, it’s on.'

BY Manish Mehta

The morning after the Jets were throttled by the Eagles, Rex Ryan went into overdrive and hyped up this week’s game against the Giants. It’s a virtual must win for both teams. (Both can still technically make the playoffs if they lose on Saturday).

Here are Ryan’s greatest hits from his conference call on Monday:

"Sure there's a lot of talk back and forth, most of it driven by me. But you know what, I’ll stand by everything I’ve ever said. I didn’t come here to be anybody’s little brother. I came here to win…. And to take over not just this city, even though it’s the city to take over, but also this league. I haven’t accomplished that yet. Saturday, I think, will go a long way (toward) doing that. We have to win this game. We have to get into the playoffs.”

“Certainly we were the best team the last two years. We made the playoffs… To say a team is better than you that never made the playoffs is ridiculous. Clearly we were the better team my first two years here. We get to prove it on Saturday who the best team is this year. Quite honestly, both of us are having disappointing years…. Whoever (wins) this game is clearly the best team in New York.”

"I never came here to be little brother to anyone. So, it’s on….. There’s no way I’m going to be second fiddle. If we were playing the NY Yankees, I don’t want to be second fiddle to them."

"I recognize that they’re an excellent football team. But I think we’re better."

On Tom Coughlin: "This is one of the great coaches in the history of the sport."

On Jets’ fans keeping their tickets instead of selling them during the holiday season: "I hope Jet fans keep their ticket... but I understand... if price is right, I’m sure it’s going to be tough to not let those things go"

On making thepostseason: "If we handle our business – we win these next two games - we’re in the playoffs. And that’s all that matters."

Houston vs Jets in the first round? That works for me.

[WTF]

Me too. I fucking hate the Jets.

[bane]

They won one game. Let's not get too excited here. The Colts have needs all over the place though, so in some ways losing out on Luck might not be all that bad for them.

[HMJ]

I can't believe the Ravens dropped the ball that bad. Seems like all these teams that really needed wins completely fucked themselves. And then of course here comes the Chargers, the Johnny come latelys of the NFL. As usual.

[El Metalico]

Redskins are blowing the giants the fuck out.

You're welcome machado

i am not surprised at all. the NFC East this season is a grind.
last week the giants were on their way to winning the division and this week Eli looked like he was among the worst QB's in the game.

WTF!!!

this coming Saturday is giants vs jets in the early game and eagles at Dallas in the late afternoon game.
would not be surprised if the giants win by 30 and dallas losses by 1 point.

Ni lo mande Dios!

MNF "power outage" @ Candlestick Park.

Guess it's good that it didn't happen once play actually started.

THAT would have been fun!

[Crazy Levi]

Agreed.

I was at the Iron Maiden concert at MSG when the sound cut out during powerslave. THAT was fun!

Who here thinks MNF is about 100% better without that tired Hank Williams Jr intro?

[Luminiferous]

Tebows bitch ORTON over Packers ha ha,ha,ha

Orton never took a 29 yard loss on a sack..

[Space Bear]

Imagine if the Colts win another game and remove themselves from
the #1 overall pick slot.
That would be comical.

The P13 Nightmare Scenario:
Indy wins their way out of the top pick
Payton retires/leaves Colts
Next season's prospects = the same as this season

The 49ers make a joke of the Steelers in front of a prime time national audience. Ask the Steeler fans why they lost. Their answer is that the city of San Fran cut off the power so the Steelers lost momentum.

Big Ben looked like a big fat tackling dummy last night. And he's rapey.

Why do I get the feeling AliceManson really doesn't like the Steelers?

[Crazy Levi]

Nobody likes the Steelers or their stupid cum-rag waving fans.

They've been coasting by on their reputation for far too long...one of the dirtiest and most obnoxious teams and fanbases in all of football.

Did you have that one saved on your hard drive along with the rest of your gay porn?

I'm not a fan myself, but all of AliceManson's posts seem to have an anti Steeler slant.

I don't mind the Steelers, it's the fans. You'd be hard pressed to find a more obnoxious group of fans.

[bane]

Maybe it has something to do with where you live, but around here nothing is more obnoxious than the Cowboy fan. I don't have much interaction with Steelers fans. They're a rarity in my neck of the woods.

[bane]

The AFC is wide open all of a sudden. Is NE really the team to beat? With that defense? Houston's offense is crap without Schaub. Pittsburgh looks vulnerable, the Ravens are a different team every week and Denver is Denver. Maybe Cinci or one of the other wild card contenders sneaks in and wins it? I don't think there's a real clear cut leader in the conference this year.

I'm a Polamalu fan, but I think you may be onto something..

[bane]

P13 has never PM'd me. I congratulated him on his team's first win after he came in here and actually talked football instead of smack for a few days. Go jerk to your pics dude. You know you have a few with Rodgers in them.

Sorry lumi, that was directed at the green bay dude with the rainbow collection.

They're all over the place here (midwest, more specifically south central Ohio) They're awful. As are Bucknuts.

And the Pats lost Andre Carter for the season. I hope MArk Anderson continues to play like he did against the Broncos.

Again as A Steelers fan I will chime in and say...They lost because Ben made his usual amount of mistakes and really shouldn't have been playing. After the first two interceptions the couching staff needs to have the balls to tell Ben to sit. The defense also couldn't stop shit on third down.

New England is not the team to beat. They won't put up 40+ points on teams with good defenses and no way that pitiful excuse for a defense holds any team with a half decent offense under 4 TDs. Unless they change the rules and let them play against the 4 and 5 win teams they've been playing lately they are going down hard in the Divisional round.
