On a "steal this thread" note - SMP would be proud
Best Xmas present(s): Blanton’s Kentuck Bourbon and fresh roasted holiday blend coffee from a co-worker of my sister. He owns his own coffee roasting company down on Cape Cod; tastes incredible in the french press.

Jealous on both counts.
I love love love the Blanton’s. Almost enough to get a better-paying job so I could afford to drink more of it.

Elmer T. Lee is a cheaper alternative
Very very good for it’s price.

Talk about cheap
I just polished off a bottle of Dickel a couple of days ago. Pretty good for very little.
I’ll give the Lee a chance!

can't believe it
But it was more of the Colts not playing than the Jets pulling an upset. That never sits right with me whenever they do that.
Keep the faith!
Sooo, Colts, right?
Or do we want to see the Jets make the playoffs?
Or do we want to see our Undef. season survive?
Or what?

Does it sound whiny if I say,
“If they’re playing the Pats, that’s pass interference on the defence?”

Wow, I'm a little sick of all the Peyton love from the announcers. Can't watch anymore
Blogger at SBNation's Patriots blog, Pats Pulpit
Not quite the level of love for the giant Vikings F-word, though
Commentators have to have someone to unleash unbridled passion over in December, since that’s when Favre starts mailing it in (because he’s delivering presents to children in his sleigh, or something).

That was good defense in my opinion...
…Lito didn’t turn Collie. You’re allowed contact to that degree if you don’t change his movement or direction.
Hire OC.
jets def are too keyed in on the number wide reciever
they give up too much when the other team has 2-3 good receivers…ie clark and welker
Bart Scott was TERRIBLE on that play.
He waited in the middle to prevent Manning from running and left Dallas Clark uncovered. Manning is never going to run. Foolish play.
Hire OC.
Have the guy who totters around like C3-P0 run,
or throw to one of the more productive TE/WR hybrids around? Boy. Tough choice there.
Bart Scott might just be hanging out for an opportunity to lay out a Hall of Fame-lock QB. I think that’s why I like Mayo so much – he does his job rather than going for highlight-reel stuff.

If he could guarantee he actually catches Manning with the ball in hand, I'm all for it
but nothing is as bad as having a pass-rusher line up Manning, getting within 2 feet of the guy, and have him flick a pass to Dallas Clark or Joseph Addai directly into the area the pass-rusher just vacated.

We can learn a bit from this game, even if the Jests lose.
I like their approach: pound the ball and see if the Colts can stand it. Of course, you do need to keep the game close…

The Colts are small, but fast...
…keep Brady upright and away from pressure (whether that be by running the ball or a stellar O-Line performance) and he’ll make plays.
I have a feeling that if Vollmer and Light are the tackles in the rematch, we’ll win.

How in the world do you give an open lane like that to Freeney?

Yeah-- a criminal mistake.
Could have ended Woody’s career there.

PS
Was pretty impressed w/ the way Vollmer handled him, tho. I think The Hill has a great observation: a Light/Vollmer set of bookends could make the rematch (if we get there) a different story.

Especially if Vollmer and Light are flanked by Watson and Baker, both healthy
even if Watson and Baker are just there to chip the pass-rushers coming through, it’d give the Tackles an extra half-second to adjust.

Watching how the Colts utilize Harrison against Revis...
…is what we need to do against Revis in the future. Revis is a great corner, but he can over commit himself. He’s susceptible to direction changes and speed changes. We use Moss to go deep or sideline every time. That’s why Revis performs so well. If we did some quick snaps where Moss goes out and comes back, he’ll make catches.

No biggie. I’m sure every defensive player will remind him about obstructions in the throat.

Judging by this game...
…and by ours, I’ll gladly lose next week and grab the 4 seed. We’ll play the Broncos (who we’ll probably beat), the Colts (barring a Bengals collapse against the Texans/Jets) and then the Chargers.

that will wear u out in the playoffs if you dont rest.

Does he swap helmets with the backup QB? Or does the backup QB get one with the headset too?
I always wondered about that. Same goes for injuries to the defensive captains, do they have spare helmets with headsets, or do they swap them out?

seriously, if it didn;t work..why keep trying?
playing keeps momentum, and fires up the players. now the players look sad/pissed
Colts players
tend to be smaller and faster than the average NFL players, and because they’re smaller and go into all contact at such high speed, they will and do come off second best at least some of the time. Holding those starters out of the last few games will mess with their combinations and their season might lose momentum because of it, they’d lose a lot more if a slew of their starters got hurt in meaningless games, and that’s always a risk when you’ve got little guys on the field.

ESPECIALLY this year.
The Colts are going to go into the playoffs totally deflated, and with a whole bye week to think about it. I would NOT be surprised by another divisional round exit. The schadenfreude would be immeasurable.
hopefully in our hands

Caldwell's making a mistake

yea think of the motivation
16-0 the player would be pumped for history. Even if they lost legit, they tried at least. now they just throw a game away..think of the feeling of just throwing away immortality. Hell they didn’t even try. All the 14 wins before hand become meant so much less now.
Keep that crown warm for us
We’ll get it back in a year.

why didn;t gaffney catch like that last year?
the indi game, where he dropped an easy td pass…cost us the play offs pretty much
can't believe the Colts lost to the Jets and the Saints lost to the Bucs
Didn’t get to see any of the Saints game to know if Payton pulled a Dungy Caldwell and sat his starters, but the Colts loss to the Jets was a disappointment. I never like to see a team fold on purpose and I’m curious to see how the team and fans react.
Keep the faith!
Saints were going for the win for homefield advantage...
…so they just straight up got BEAT by the Bucs.
