Missing you every day, thinking about the memories every moment, loving you every second Mom ♥ R.I.P. 1951-2011
"When you go out on the field and you're intense for 60 minutes, some guys don't want to do it. When I line up across from him, he has to do one of two things, he has to raise his level of play, or he's going to get his *** kicked all day"

Lovely...now we have to count on MARK SANCHEZ to take down the Pats*
:banghead:
Go Jets and Go Chiefs -AFC Championship game in Pitt !!!
Well, it was an exciting game down to literally the last second, though I would have wished for a different outcome. I would rather face Manning here at home and out in the elements than play the Ravens again (and have the Ravens take on NE rather than a team headed by a second year QB who is no Ben Roethlisberger), but it is what it is. If my rooting for a team had any effect, the Steelers be 19-0 every season, wouldn't they?
Hopefully the games today will be as exciting as yesterday's, and have favorable outcomes all around. Go Chiefs! The Seahawks shocked the world yesterday, you do it today!
Is Manning the biggest playoff choke artist ever?
Lost those playoff games to Brady and the Pats.
Lost in divisional round to Steelers when Colts were #1 seed.
Came back to beat Pats in AFC Championship Game a few years ago, and then won the Super Bowl MVP because of the Colt's defense and run game.
Got to Super Bowl last year and threw the game-clinching interception.
Lost in the Wild Card round to the Jets this year.
For all the knob slobbing they do over Peyton Manning, he is a regular season quarterback. All the talk this season about how he makes his receivers better and willed the Colts to wins. But when the Colts needed a TD to basically ice to game last night, he could only lead them to a field goal.
No doubt, Peyton Manning is one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of the sport. By the end of his career he will most likely hold the record for TD passes, pass completions, pass attempts, and consecutive games played (he is on pace to beat Brett Favre's record of 297 in 2015), and quite possibly wins by a QB.
But I just don't think that he's as special as the media makes him out to be. You can't win it all every single year, but with how great he's made out to be....you'd think he would have more than one Super Bowl ring and two appearances.

Amazing how both SuperBowl teams from last year lose on the same day
Ahem, I called it. Manning is the biggest choke artist going back to Tennessee. I also say the Chiefs will beat the Ravens.
All Defense!
I don't normally respond to this stuff, but I gotta say last year I heard about how the Steelers dealt with alot of injuries and that had a big impact on them not making it into the post season and they ended up with a 9-7 season. This year the Colts were decimated by injuries, struggled yes, but still managed a 10-6 season. Made it to the playoffs for the 9th straight time
The following is a list of National Football League teams with the most consecutive (active) seasons appearing in the playoffs. This refers to the twelve teams which made the NFL Playoffs by either winning one of the eight divisions or by winning a wildcard spot at the conclusion of the 16 game regular season.
Note: Super Bowl appearances during streak in parentheses; victories in bold
1. 9 seasons: Indianapolis Colts (XLI, XLIV)T-
2. 3 seasons: Baltimore RavensT-

1 season: Atlanta FalconsT-8. 1 season: Chicago BearsT-8. 1 season: Kansas City ChiefsT-8. 1 season: Pittsburgh SteelersT-8. 1 season: Seattle Seahawks
the Colts continue to post amazing stats and have done great. Peyton is one of the ALL TIME GREAT quarterbacks (period no qualifiers), and while yes as a fan I was very disappointed in last nights outcome I am very glad he is our QB. I think it is disengenious to imply that the media have hyped him. Hey I would LOVE more superbowls, but there have been many great QB's who never won even once.
I think Ben is amazing, deserving more recognition for his skills, think the Steelers are a great team (and now that Colts are out I hope you dominate the rest of the post season), but just couldn't sit by and not comment.
AS ALWAYS this is only my opinion, but me = right. Colts awesome, Manning awesome
I think you just helped prove his point , great regular season QB , hence the 9 seasons of playoffs, playoff choker, hence only two SBs in 9 seasons of having a chance and one being a loss.
BTW, I really like how he showed love for his young WRs during the post game, shows some character in after tough loss.
Merry Christmas
