I always wondered about this and it always seemed weird
in the 1st half colts on about the 1 yard line. they false start moved them back to the 6 ..then steelers jumped.. moved 1/2 the distance to the goal and put them at the 3
I know this has always been the case the 1/2 the distance.. I wondered why the rule came about (1/2 the distance) instead of just putting it on the goal line if the penalty is more than the distance to the endzone
just one of those things that doesn't seem right in my eyes

I dunno...I'm just disappointed in Walker for lobbying the Texans to draft aVinny said:
replacement for Carr. In a sense that's pointing a finger at an individual for
the failure of the team, calling for his removal. That's just classless and definitely not helpful for team morale. If that's how he feels, thats one thing but shut up about it. Definitely don't got public with it.
The Steelers did deserve the win more than the Colts. But I wonder, ifRed_Zone said:
anything, what the final analysis will determine the Colts loss should be attributed to besides a strong Steeler game ? The drop off in effort after the Colts clinched home-field ? The tragedy surrounding the loss of the HCs teenage son ? Maybe it is the Steelers more than anything else: maybe they've figured out how to slow down the juggernaut Colts offense like no body else has ? Kinda like teams began to understand how to play better against Moon and the Oilers and their Run & Shoot back in the early 90s.

Dungy is a great man and doesn't deserve to be called a choker - particularly after what he has been through over the past month.
Manning is a different story though IMHO.

I feel very badly for Coach Dungy.He, from all I've heard and read, is a fine gentleman. Much like Coach Capers. But he's human and failure is something that happens to even the best.
I don't get the Peyton hate really other than he's on a rival team. He seems like an upstanding guy and I don't recollect him ever saying much that was out of line.
He had a bad game today. He rarely has those. I wish that both the teams I like had him as QB.....

Amazing game, particularly the ending. I still have trouble wrapping my head around the play when Bettis fumbled the ball. I mean, the Bus almost never fumbles, but he did right there on the goalline and nearly gave up a TD and the game, just when they had the whole thing in hand. But then Big Ben of all people chased down Harper and saved the game. And then the missed kick on top of that. That was some crazy-go-nuts kind of finish.
I actually feel kind of bad for the Colts though, because I don't see how they're ever going to get a better team than this. This was "their year," and they didn't get it done. If not this year, maybe it means Peyton will never win it all.

Agreed. He had no interceptions or fumbles and put his team in a position to lead or extend the game. He was sacked five times, but found the moxie to still guide them to 15 4th quarter points. Overcoming adevrsty to me is part of the definiton of a good leader.
I was just mentally going over the Colts game and it was an odd one because the Colts had a very good chance to win that game even though they were outplayed.
They had a TD called back on a false start and I think ended up just getting a FG.
They had a wacky fumble recovery returned where the QB gets a fingernail on the DB and he's tackled...I exaggerate but Ben was running in front of the guy and had to twist his body in an odd way to even touch the guy.
The Colts reliable FG kicker misses a very makeable FG for him.
It was just weird the way that game played out.

I think there is just an odd arrogance with Manning that really annoys some of us -- add in all the Manning media hype and you have a sure-fire formula for piling on after a poor performance.

After several years of hearing Manning in various interviews an 'outsider' can get a good feel of someone's motivations -- certainly with Manning it's more than just confidence IMHO.

No interceptions? What game were you watching? Just because the refs didn't call it doesn't mean it didn't happen. He was intercepted and without that bad call on the int, it's doubtful the colts would have had those 15 points. To have a call go like that just had to take the wind out of the steelers sails, it's hard to get over something like that.
without the interference from the refs I fully believe the colts would have had at least one less TD and the steelers on more TD.
All that being said, I like Manning and I like the Colts. They had a great year and did overcome adversity but in this game, the steelers outplayed them on both sides of the ball and won despite the refs doing every thing possible to keep that from happening.

RZ the official record clearly states no interceptions. I saw the ref call it as such and the Colts drove and scored. That was the game I watched. You watched the same game, although maybe hoping for some revisionist history.

And you know the official record is bogus, millions of peope saw that interception. Crooked officiating can put lies in the record but they can't change the fact of what happened. The Steelers not only had to defeat the Colts last Sunday, they had to defeat the Officials as well.
Officials Botch call NFL Says.
