Yeah.
Man, watching the Colts game. It's funny on how the Chargers defense so exicted for stopping the Colts.
Well, that happens when Dallas Clark, Marvin Harrison, Anthony Gonzalez and Tony Ugoh are out and its Fletcher and Moorehead starting.
Doesnt help that the teams to OLB are out and its Clint Session (whoever that is) starting.
And ****ing horrible call on that INT in the endzone. Could of changed the game.

horrible call how? it was clearly a pick. Or do you mean on not allowing the run back? Theres nothing really they could do about that since they had already blown the whistle like the retard refs they are.
And that everybody on that ****ing team is injured.
And I dont know for sure, but was that an actual penalty?
If I hear anybody say that the Chargers won because they're better is an complete idiot. There is no way in hell that the Colts would of lost if they had all thier players.
Just think, what would happen if a team loses 2 WR, top TE, 3 T's, Freeney, two LB's and I think an DT. No way in hell the Chargers would of won that game if those guys didnt get hurt.
Yeah.
Manning played pretty shit today, but he also played well when it counted.
That Colts defense is still very impressive. I have no idea how the Chargers needed a miss field goal from Vinetari to win. Yesh, get rid of him. Use that huge contract to sign a good LB, or DT, or something because even though he is the most "sure thing" kicker out there, its not worth his contract. He missed two field goals today when they desperatly needed him.
I love Michaels comment about how Vanderjagt is probalby laughing.
For one night the Chargers were the better team. Every team has injuries so I won't talk about that flimsy excuse. What about those 6 INTS that Manning threw, Peyton was looking like his sorry excuse of a brother. Who is to say that had the Colts been completely healthy the same result would've occurred. The Colts should rebound next week.
Are you ****ing serious?
Let's see how the Chargers do when they're starting LT, backup LT go down. How bout losing Vincent Jackson, and Chris Chambers. Let's get rid of Gates also.
Okay, I'll give you Castillo for Freeney. But lets get rid of Phillips and his backup. Okay, who else......
In the end, Manning played like shit while the defense helped him out but the Colts would of easily won that game if they had all thier players. When you have an practice squad LT going against Merriman, what do you think is going to happen?
Injuries are not an excuse when a couple of players go down but it can be an excuse when your skilled players go down.

I am very serious. Using the injury situation is nothing but an ignorant excuse. If thats the case then I should be using that very same excuse since the Titans lost and our defense who was without Albert Haynesworth gave up what close to 200 yards rushing to a Jags team that the Titans stopped earlier this season. Also it amazes me that when a team loses and that team has injuries thats always the said excuse. Teams deal with injuries in every sport and its up to each and every team to win and lose with what they put out on the field or court. Listen I've always liked Peyton. I have watched him ever his college days and I even watched him play up close and personal when his then Tennessee Vols played the UCLA Bruins. I went to those games and I even got his autograph. I just can't in good conscience use their injury situation as an excuse for their back to back loses. Even a healthy Colts team may NOT beat the Patriots in the possible AFC Championship game. And the game 2nite, nobody told the Colts to kick the ball to Darren Sproles knowing full well that he can take the ball back for a score at any given time. Then they punted the ball to him which got the exact same result. Also those 6 picks, Manning has had plenty of time learning their abilities ever since Harrison went down, so I can say that perhaps he should have thrown the ball better or maybe the Colts should trade for Chad Johnson and that well definitely help them. All in all on all facets of the game Vinatieri should've made those chipshot field goals, and Reggie Wayne should've made a better effort also.
