I remember that particular game, it honestly was pretty bizarre. Not something people should petition about of course but it was like he was Eric Fisher's agent or something and the Chiefs never did anything wrong while losing for the whole game.

i actually kinda like Jim Nantz as a play-by-play guy but jesus loving christ he's saddled with Phil Simms, an anchor made of pure poo poo

Jim is the reason Gus Johnson doesn't call the NCAA tournament anymore, so I can't think anything good about him.

That was the perfect place for Gus.

Under the current playoff format with 12 teams making it the home teams have all won in the divisional round 6 times. 1990 (first year with four wild card games), '91, '94, '98, '02, '04.

Welp that was fun. Now I have to go back to watching these two damnable teams play.

Yeah Boom hosed up his left shoulder/arm on the first drive and it's obviously a problem. Hope he doesn't start fumbling because of it.

The Colts somehow regretting not dressing Trent Richardson would be kind of funny in a depressing way. You'd probably need a few more guys to go down to get to that point though.

Sometimes I think about how awesome it would be if my team had a quarterback who was capable of making that throw.

Cribbs is really good at catching the ball an running in a straight line. Since they changed to return blocking rules a few years back its really hurt his returns. Still take him on my team any day.

I noticed he was way up there in active all-purpose yards the other day. #4 or so? I know he's been around quite a while but I wouldn't have guessed that.

It's a weird stat that no one cares about anyway but still.

It's not really their fault unless you want to change the rules in the middle of the game.

Which would have been awesome but probably wouldn't have been a good career move for them.

It's amazing how undrafted running backs run better than Trent Richardson

I think Trent Richardson might be historically one of the worst running backs ever drafted in the top 5.

He stayed healthy for a while so he automatically beats a few guys out. Ki-Jana Carter and Curtis Enis off the top of my head, I'm sure there are some more.

I love how Luck's lovely funslinger bombs that get intercepted on 3rd down are constantly defended with "Welp, it would been a punt anyway :downs:"

Well if he consistently does them on third down it might be on purpose, which would be relatively defensible. I mean he's not trying to throw picks but the idea of taking chances deep on third and long and not minding so much if it doesn't work out.

I haven't paid enough attention to the Colts to know if it's just worked out that way today or not.

Manning's played pretty bad today but I don't think he's done. His arm looked healthier than it has in recent weeks, to be honest. He just missed the throws.

The biggest disappointment honestly should be the run game. The Colts have good press man coverage so it's not like it's a fluke, this is how they beat Denver last year. But Anderson hasn't really done anything and Julius must still be gimpy.

Or not, maybe I'm blinded by that one run. I guess he has 80 yards somehow which looks pretty good compared to everyone else.
