First of all, Cincy missed both of those FG's on fucking purpose to avoid kicking off to Brad Smith...they saved 4pts on each missed FG that way.
I think it's hilarious that they even think it'll be a similar gameplan to last time. As I recall, I saw waaaay too many runs to the outside early on in that Colts game. I kept thinking to myself "Pound it up the middle. Pound it up the middle. You'll never beat the Colts to the edge." I'd suspect if we get them again next week, we're going to see that soft middle exposed over and over and over again.
If the Jets do end up @Indy, I think it would be very sweet to eliminate them from the playoffs after they rested there starters against us giving us a better shot to get in. Talk about a major backfire ...
I call it Hurricane Indianapolis. FEMA would need to be on standby to help its citizens escape the tears.
I disagree that the Ravens defense is similar to ours. They allow 53.5 yards per game more passing. The classic way to attack the Ravens this year and going back a few years is the long passing game. If I was Indy I'd be salivating at the chance to warm up on B'more in the divisional round.
You have to excuse them, most of them didn't know any sports figures outside of Bobby Knight or Larry Bird previous to 1998. Have you ever been to Indiana? Not exactly a high concentration of Ivy League grads.
Given their playoff history those are a pretty big bunch of arrogant assholes. Yes they have won a Super Bowl but given the success they have had in the regular season they are like the Atlanta Braves of the NFL. They have flopped alot more then they haven't. Reading those comments it'd be great to watch them flame out again.
I have a friend who lives in Indy and just praises Manning, the Colts...the Best, MVP, blah blah... He Doesn't even watch the games every week. He'll argue with me whenever anyone talks shit about the COLTS and I'll ask,well did you see the game?....No but.... uhgh..COLTS fans...
We know that they sure as shit can't count calories. Fuck my previous statements on this matter, bring on the Colts. "I never noticed Revis was so tiny"? WTF?
Sadly the NFL won't allow that to happen. If we end up playing the Colts AND looking like we could win it, watch how bad the refs suddenly become
I don't want to see the Colts again. If we don't see them again, that means we are hosting the AFC Championship if we keep winning.
