Steelers outplaying the Colts in pretty much all facets of the game

it's going about as well as possible for the Steelers, much better than I actually expected, jeje

Colts were flat. This is unfortunately what can happen when you take three to four weeks off. Pitt was rolling, and Indy was flat.

Amazingly, Indy still almost won, if not for a great tackle by Roeth, and a rare missedd FG by Vanderjagt.

Pit won its offical Peyton is such a choke artist

Should have never been in the game except for one of the most boggling overrule INT I've ever seen - Pitt 24 Indy 10 F

First field goal miss for Vanderjagt at home this season.

I am a happy camper. I hated this fuckin redneck when he played for Tennessee. May he suffer a Marino fate of no ring.

Better yet, change the passing rules to give the QB passing yards for the actual 2 yard PASS and not for the 80 yards that are RUSHED for after it is caught. Watch how fast he stops being such a superstar QB.

Marino was a passer...Manning is a fucking tosser.

that game was jacked....

and Indy has no hope of getting to a Super Bowl until they suck bad enough again to get a high draft pick

Minrott · Post by **Minrott** » Sun Jan 15, 2006 10:27 pm

I hate Indy, but please explain to me exactly what they need in a first round draft pick, because that's a ridiculous statement.

Tikker · Post by **Tikker** » Sun Jan 15, 2006 10:53 pm

indy just got out schemed, and beat up by a more physical team that wanted it more

for bettis's sake, i'm glad that fumble didn't come back to haunt them

that would be a shitty fucking way to wind up a career

"I don't want to sound like a bad teammate.... but we had protection problems, yeah, protection problems." --- Peyton Manning

yeah way to go leader, point out the guys that bleed protecting you.

It goes along well with the other list of playoff failures

2003-04: whine to competition committee
2004-05: whine about the field conditions
2005-06: whine about your o-line

Can't wait till next year!

Tikker · Post by **Tikker** » Sun Jan 15, 2006 11:52 pm

well, he's right tho

the blitz ate the protection alive

if they'd managed to block the blitz even 50% of the time, chances are indy puts up 40

that being said, Lebeau called a pretty good game (cept for the 2 series they played zone and got eaten)

numatu · Post by **numatu** » Sun Jan 15, 2006 11:54 pm

the point of a blitz is to bring more people than the other team can block -- You beat the blitz by audibling hot routes into the space vacated by the blitz

You can't blame an o-line when the purpose of a blitz is to bring more than your o-line is capable of blocking. That's a Bledsoe excuse for failure.

Post by **Lyion** » Mon Jan 16, 2006 7:59 am

They were blitzing one ore two extras. When you have 7 blockers and 6 guys coming then you should be able to pick it up.

They weren't doing the Denver jail break blitz scheme.

Indys O Line usually gives him enough time to make one or two reads. In this game, he had no time and his protection hurt him.

You really should take the Manning quote in context too, not just the sound byte the media is feeding you.

As Lyion mentioned, Pittsburgh wasn't blitzing that many people. Keep in mind that they run a 3-4 defense, and frequently rush a linebacker, but that's still only a standard four man rush, not a full blitz.

Indeed. I'd hate it if anyone here would ever take a sports quote out of context.

Not half as much as you'd hate it if someone tried to fabricate a context for a quote!

Please ignore me and continue with your silly barbarian game chat.

I saw the press conference, not the sound-byte. You don't call out the guys that have allowed you to become rich by sacrificing themselves for you like that after a playoff loss.

Diekan · Post by **Diekan** » Tue Jan 17, 2006 7:25 pm

His ego has outgrown his skill. He's well on his way to becoming the next Dan Marino - he's already got a good start of whining and making excuses - just like ole Danny boy.

he said "there were protection problems"

he calls a lot of the protections, so it's not like he was just blaming someone else

Post by **Lyion** » Tue Jan 17, 2006 7:59 pm

If he had just said there were protection problems, that would've been cool. The issue I have is him insinuating someone else fucked up, with the 'I'll be a good teammate' spiel. It was out of character for him and indicated others were responsible for the loss.

That was a bullshit thing to say, I think.

He was asked about his protection by a reporter. What was he supposed to do, blatantly lie and claim it was fine? Go with the "no comment" indictment?

He didn't handle it as well as he could, but it wasn't the blanket condemnation people are pretending it was.
