Well, I'll be rooting for the Broncos tomorrow, but the Colts...in the dome...rough.

Okay! Seattle lost! So now the Holmgren watch begins on every Niner fan site on the web.

Dear goodness, 35-3 and peyton has 360 passing yards, 3 Passing TDs, 1 rushing, and that's just the FIRST HALF!!! They should really run one of those "Want to get away" commercial for the Bronco players :hehe: :hehe:

So say the Colts manage to hang on and win and play the Pats next week. It's hard to say the Colts will lose especially with a performance like this and the Pats banged up secondary. :mrgreen:

It's a tough call... Peyton's hot, but he's like 0-6 against the Pats, I think.

Four turnovers by the Pack results in a loss, 31-17...

i was disappointed to hear that the chargers lost. they did so well during the regular season.

i personally think that it's either going to be the rams or the vikings going to the superbowl. i really felt that the eagles (even risking more injuries) should have made a statement by beating the rams (and maybe even the bengals) when they lost t.o. now, it remains to be seen if they can win without t.o.

as for the afc, it sucks that san diego is no longer in it. i think indy looks pretty darn powerful, especially with the pats hurting. i guess we'll see if the mastermind bill can come up with something.

watched that game where they lost against jets....... :shamefulcry:

i was against on making some crappy plays in OT wherein they are in around 30YD to the goal and all they do is to force themselves in the center......... then they call the rookie kicker to sink that 40YD FG.... :bleh:

Yea seriously, well it's going to be a good game nonetheless. Although Ty Law who picked Manning off 3 times last post season won't be playing. I like the Pats but I want the Colts to win. :D

The nicest picture I've seen all day.

(I spent the weekend watching my adopted teams get the stuffing beaten out of them.)

you know, the more i think about it, the more i feel that they should change the nfl OT rule to match college fball. i read somewhere that 85% of the teams that get the ball first in OT wins the game. it kinda sucks that the game is decided on a coin toss. perhaps, you don't need to change the OT rule during regular season, but definitely during the playoffs.

Making changes in the NFL is not easy. I think it makes sense. Nothing kills the excitement of OT than one big play. You know a FG is coming soon and then the game is over.

It varies from year to year.

Before they changed the Kickoff yardline rules, when the Kickoff took place from 35 yard line, OT statistics I recall were 50% +/-5% every year to whoever won the coin toss. In other words, winning the toss didn't have a statistically significant effect on winning.

Am not sure what the OT stats are since they changed the Kickoff to the 30 yard line. :headscratch:

Really? I remember the commentators talking about this during the Jets and Rams game a week ago and they were saying that it seems like whoever gets the ball first usually wins but statistically it's about 50-50. Not sure who's correct but if a team really wants to win, then they shouldn't even be in a position to have to win it in OT.

Nah.

The college OT rule is goofy. As the saying goes, championship-winning teams have great defenses, and if you can't stop a team from scoring in sudden death, you're not a championship-caliber team...
