wtf was that call about?


if he'd never tried to get up, it would still have been a pick

but since he tried to get up it's suddenly a drop?

what a stupid fucking call

this sucks I'm stuck at work and can only watch espn's sports cast and can't see any of the real action

wow, do the refs want Indy to win

yes they need a black head coatch to win the Super Bowl this year

oh shut the fuck up Eldred you arent even watching the game.

Eat a dick Tadpole

omfg, bettis fumbled at the 1

apparently budha wants the colts to win too

HAHAHAHAHA... all that and missed the field goal. classic.

Fuck the colts!! haha! goo steelers!

I thought Bettis lost it for them for true. But Vander Jack missed it!

the part that I find kinda funny, is that about 10 years ago or so, Vanderjagt was cut from the local CFL team (Saskatchewan Roughriders for the real fans ) cause they didn't think he could make the clutch kicks

And the call on that pick was complete bullshit. He had undeniable control. Whether or not his knee was down with no one touching him is irrelevant. It's like they make up the rules as they go.

Yeah, I have no idea wtf was up with that

2nd and 2...they go for more than needed...3rd and 2...they go for more than needed...all of this with 3 timeouts...

All I know is that Bettis damn well better offer to buy Rothlisburger a Mercedes or something, cause Ben saved Bettis' ass with that open field shoestring tackle. If not for him, that fumble recovery was a touchdown, period, and it's the Colts going on to the next round.

Now, you have to wonder, would Rothlisburger have been able to make the tackle on that guy if not for the huge gash put in his knee by his wife in the domestic dispute late last night?

The refs missed a few calls in that game.

Ben's pretty strong and he looked to have a pretty good wrap around the guys foot. I think he was going down regardless, plus all he really needed to do was slow him down, there were 2 more steelers right on him after he started to go down. Hell of a play though, and awarness to get turned around and catch him.


I think Tadpole just hit the nail on the head. The colt's, I mean, Manning, doesn't seem to know when a first down is more important than a touchdown. It seemed as if for the last 2 possesions of the game he was trying to force a win, rather than shorten the field for his kicker.

What is it that the Colts are lacking that doesn't make them a super bowl team? Mannings fast on his way to Dan Marino status. "Oh man he's the greatest QB in the world....with no superbowls."

46 yard field goal should be automatic

that being said, I would have just made the 1st down too

and yeah, really poor officiating the whole weekend so far

A 46 yard field goal should be automatic???

35 automatic maybe, 46 is starting to stretch a lot of kickers out, albeit not so much in a dome.

He missed it badly. It wasn't even close. He choked. Wasn't he the one that was giving Manning shit a while back?

I'm used to CFL kickers, where 45 yards is almost a gimme


(in cfl, a missed FG is treated like a punt. since goal posts are at the goal line, missed fg's are returned, and a fg that goes thru the end zone results in a single point. the risk is diff't from the nfl, so way way more are attempted, and you end up seeing probably 75% of those kicks made)

Refs tried to hand the game on a silver platter to Manning and still couldn't get it done. Karma prevails.

This was by far the Colts best shot. Home field, bye week, bad officiating, pats knocked out, and STILL with the choke job.

All Harper had to do was go to the sideline.

Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out how Roethlisberger got lucky and tackled Harper.

Maybe it's the Steelers year. Who knows?

The funny thing is if they hadn't taken Palmer out, I don't think they would've won last week.

The answer would be... never. More accurate is - Manning doesn't know it's easier to get 2 yards than 20.
