I didn't see the Indy game listed for this weekend. What time are the Colts playing? Anyone know?

They're the COLTS and the Super Bowl is in THEIR STADIUM so they decided they would just skip the playoffs this year and wait for whoever was left standing.
So that would be Feb. 5th around 6pm.

Nah.

If the Giants beat the Packers - which I think is a distinct possibility - they'll lose in New Orleans.

I'm going to spend the day shoving pins in a Tom Brady doll. Because the Broncos are going to need all the help they can get.

And then we'll be in the SB and everyone will say "but they never played Green Bay! We'll never know!" blah blah.

3 turnovers already for the Saints. Making life hard for themselves.

The Saints are doing their LSU impersonation.

Very impressively, I might add.

Oops - they broke character and actually scored. Never mind.

Saints are pulling it together. If they don't win, I'll... nah, never mind.

With Drew Brees the game is never over.

The Saints turn the ball over 4 times, and only trail by 3. I don't think this will end well for the Niners.

Darren Sproles: You can take the boy out of the Chargers but you can't take the Chargers out of the boy. What a bad turnover.

You were saying? The 49ers took out the trash like they were Hurricane Katrina.

Now this is football! You can see their breath.

2 drives in a row, Malcolm Jenkins gets burned by Vernon Davis. That guy will be the most hated player in New Orleans for fucking blowing it...

Hate the Saints. Glad to be wrong again.

Broncos are lookin' good.

If Denver had any chance at all coming out of halftime Brady just ended it. Belichick is big on history so I'm guessing he'll try to get Brady one more TD to set the record.

WTF? Big Suze from Peep Show is in Two and a Half Men.

Sorry, the commercials are just more interesting at this point.

Why kick a field goal down 42-7 with 2 minutes left in the 3rd quarter?

Because it's better than being sacked and still being down 42-7.

AFC style holmes, the Chiefs invented that strategy!

I guess Jesus is partying with Jon Bon up in Kraft's box.

I hope all the Tebow fanatics now understand why he can't be a championship caliber QB in the NFL. Simms spelled it out for you just in case you didn't get it. Denver is an option team with Tebow at QB, and just like those college teams that ran mostly the option once they get down by more than a couple of scores they can't come back. The teams aren't used to a lot of passing situations. Never mind that the QB himself is ineffective, it's the entire offense that isn't ready for it - the linemen, backs, and receivers too.

If the game is close it can work. Against the better teams that you have to face in the playoffs you have to have the ability to come back. Look at what Brees did in San Fran today. Although his team ultimately lost they were down by 3 scores early and he was able to put them in position to win. The option teams just end up digging themselves into a bigger hole. Denver became so one-dimensional that it made the sorry New England defense look like a top ranked D for one night(which they clearly aren't).

Consider tonight Exhibit A as to why most people are critical of Tebow as a QB. Tebow is going to have to either adapt or his time as a starter will be over. It may have made for a nice story, but it won't make for a successful team.

Take your loss Broncos.

The Tebow era is over. Some of those offensive plays were embarrassing.
The option???
Running on 1st down time after time after time.
Tebow's ceiling is very low.
During the off-season he won't progress as a passer and defensives will make great strides is stopping the Denver game plan.

SkyDogg nailed it.
