The Colts can do one of two things here. They can fold, now that they think they feel beatable. Or they can use this as motivation, remember that if they play flat that they ARE beatable, and decimate people from here on out, with only the game in Seattle next week away from the RCA Dome.

Dungy and Manning will have this team ready every week. Believe that.

The Pats are playing the best they've played all year, clearly. But a lot of their advantage over the Colts has come from their home field advantage, as well as the Colts inability to stop even the most mediocre of offenses. A game that only requires the Colts to put up 21 points will be much easier to win than one that requires 35-42.

Re: Official High Boltage Thread (SD-Indy)
 

Um... No. If the Patriots get to face the Colts at IND, because they faced a crappy Jacksonville team at home, the Colts at least a 7-point favorite.

What the Colts should really be worried about is facing the Broncos/Bengals/ (or SD) two weeks down the line.

Re: Official High Boltage Thread (SD-Indy)
 

Ive said for a while that the Chargers were the only team I thought with the offensive and defensive makeup to beat Indy IN Indy. Its unfortunate that even if they run the table they will prolly not get in cause of the other teams easy schedule. They should sub out the Jags, Steelers, or Pats, for the Chargers, a team that actually could be dangerous. Im an NFC team fan but I actually want to see competitive playoffs, and as it stands now no one is going to challenge the Colts in Indy as long as they get themself together.

Weren't the Colts starting a rookie offensive lineman for most of this game? Let's look at James' rushing stats: 13 carries for 25 yards. Wasn't Manning under a ton of pressure for much of the game? This is Manning's fault? Let's consider that maybe Indy's offensive line had as much to do with it as anything. Let's also remember that San Diego is one of the top five teams in the NFL.

Certainly Manning deserves some blame for a few bad plays, but so what? If anyone thinks Manning is solely to blame for this loss that person is an idiot. No doubt about it.

Yeah, I can't imagine why anyone would "slobber" over the best QB in the NFL. I don't believe in magic.

Re: Official High Boltage Thread (SD-Indy)
 

Rover,
Please find where I have ever placed ALL blame on Manning. I have simply maintained that
a) he was the perpetrator of a crucial penalty that inhibited the Colts from winning the game
b) he took a sack that ruined the same chance
c) he is a grand-master-pooh-bah choke artist

It comes down to the simple fact that HE is the leader and QB of the team. He would get all the praise if he had driven them to a game winning touchdown. Conversely, he recieves the blame.

Call it whatever you want, moxy, intagibles, whatever. Do I believe 100% that if you put Brady in there he would have won the game? Yes. How? I don't know- a lucky scramble, a different audible, instilling an impending sense of doom in the defense, etc.

Peyton had the chance to drive them to win, to save the perfect season, to further cement his legendary status... and he didn't do it. That, to me at least, is the definition of a choker.

(could the line have blocked better, recievers run better routes, etc, etc- of course. but they didn't. for legendary players this shouldn't matter, they put the team on their back and win. Peyton stumbles, time and time again)

You really need to consider the game as a whole and not just the few plays that in the end seem decisive(sp). I can't image any defense being significantly more scared shitless facing Brady than Manning. You can talk about and believe all that intangible stuff all you want. But that [censored] right there is ridiculous.

As for Manning getting all the credit/blame, just because the media are a bunch of fucktards doesn't give you the excuse to be.

Have you ever actually played a game of football?

Did you see Manning during the drive? Did you see the defense? They weren't rattled at all. They should have been once the ball started moving. They should have had the sense of dread in their stomachs, the feeling of helplessness that occurs when an offense is confident and clicking and driving down the field.

Re: Official High Boltage Thread (SD-Indy)
 

These are professional athletes we are discussing here. I think you are stressing that "feeling of dread" a little too much. Perhaps the defense felt that way about themselves? I think people aren't giving the Chargers D enough credit...

Good Game Fellas!
 

Well that's is, the Colts lost and it will now be 3 weeks before anything meaningful happens to them. I'd just like to say "Good game and good try" to the boys in blue. After about week 10 they faced a near impossible task and performed admirably. Sadly they weren't able to achieve their goal and the season is now over.
True they are probably the favorites to win the Super Bowl, but it doesn't matter. No one remembers Super Bowl winners, everyone knows the '72 Dolphins. Good effort boys, good luck for next year.

I would also like to commend other Colt's fans on their attitudes. Of those I have seen they had a humility and generally pleasent attitude. I'm proud to be counted amoung you.

Lastly, to the fans that seem to root for only failure, you are the worst kind of sports fan. If the best you can manage is to root against a team trying to make history, you really need to grow up. If you're a chargers fan, enjoy a very well earned victory. If, however, you're happy simply because you don't like Peyton Manning or because your team lost and thankfully now, so has everyone else, then the sports world really needs less of you.

I wish I was a Chargers fan right now, they played a fantastic game and beat the best team in the NFL. No bad weather, no key injuries, just helmet to helmet, pad to pad victory. They played their best and caused the Colts to play their worst. Well played Bolts, hope the Colts can get a second crack in the playoffs.

Hmmm, if I didn't know better I'd swear that was an insult. Of course I realize that the 72 Fins weren't the best team of all time. Their schedule was soft as Charman (as opposed to the Colts whose schedule has been tough, and before you auto shout "NUH UH" to that, no one said it was the toughest, but it was tough). Of course the 85 Bears, recent Pats team, etc. are in the small class of teams that are "All-Galaxy", but it would've been nice for a team called "the greatest offence of all time" to have something they didn't.

Re: Good Game Fellas!
 

Bowens,
I used that phrase (feeling of dread) because I lack a better description. It isn't "dread," but more of an annoying thought in the back of your head and in the pit of your stomach, "[censored], they're driving. [censored] they're driving. [censored], we're not stopping them." And as the offensive team's confidence grows and they move the ball, this feeling gets more prominent. Professional athletes (I can't say all, but in general) feel these swings of confidence and momentum. Football offers an interesting little wrinkle to this because of the constant play stoppage and startage- in the huddle (or if no huddle, while the plays are being communicated) one players confidence (or "dread") is easily displayed through posture, voice inflexion, and eye contact.

I present you the following example: '88 SuperBowl, 49ers-Bengals. Ask offensive players for a story and you get the following (summary): On the very last drive everyone was in the huddle. We were very nervous and talking. Montana walked into the huddle and joked about John Candy being in the stands. Everyon laughed, we were no longer nervous, and we knew we were going to field and win the game.

Meanwhile there was an interview with a Bengal who, after scoring their go-ahead TD, watched the 49er offense walk onto the field, looked up at the timeclock and immediately thought, "Oh [censored], we left them too much time."
