Ah...the ads below the initial post threw me...

I'm a lifelong Steelers fan so I'm gonna be pulling hard for Pittsburgh. However, what Tony Dungy must be going through is terrible & I wish he and his family the best through what has to be a very trying time. He's got my respect for continuuing to do his job after what happened but then, he already had it before that.

That being said, I can see PIT really giving INDY a game today. The Colts claim to have smacked a physical team in the mouth (and thus proving their toughness) the last time these two met but I see it being a little different this time around. The noise of the RCA Dome will be PIT's first and largest obstacle IMO considering they struggled at the outset last week in Cincy because of it and it ain't as loud in Cincy as it's gonna be in Indianapolis today. If they can make it through that first bull-rush of emotion and fan frenzy & maybe even silence them with a big play early in the game, I think PIT can win this game.

I HOPE Pittsburh can win this game...I don't want to see my boys get beat down. :o

I'm assuming this is completely outcome-based, correct?

In that case, I'm choosing Indy. I think they'll have the Steelers today by at least 7.

Payout won't be that great to me, but I just don't see Pittsburgh winning.

Yer prolly right Jordan...but I can hope. PIT is going to need to take care of the ball and get a couple turnovers of their own if they want to keep in this game. It'll take a little luck but being at the RCA Dome, a little momentum will go a LONG wayz for the Colts. Steelers need to come in ready to play but they'll be out to prove they're as good as any team out there on any given Sunday.

Peyton is goin down and I'm lovin it.

I am rather torn myself. I am a life-long Pittsburgh fan, but its hard to root against Peyton. This is one of those rare games where either way I am happy.

[WayzUp]

This is total BS...the refs in this game SUCK. How they overturned that Troy Polamalu interception (YES, IT WAS AN INT :mad: ) is beyond me...I thought there had to INDISPUTABLE VISUAL EVIDENCE! The only thing indisputable to me was that HE CAUGHT THE FREAKIN' BALL! :mad:

This is insane. Glad I didn't take a nap.

That is quite the dilemma you have their, fernando. Both ways, you win AND you lose. :D

I know, RapidCock. I feel bad for Manning :( and wonderful for the Steelers. :D Really, Pittsburgh deserved this one. They out-played the Colts for most of the game and did what most teams are too afraid to do, blitz Manning.

Yeah, Peyton looked downright Eli-ish when PIT put pressure on him. He looked strangely like Peyton when they only rushed three...interesting, that. :rolleyes:

[Jordan]

Weird, weird game....

Now both my AFC teams are out. Good thing though, now I can easily root for my Seahawks through the Super Bowl. :) Just hope Alexander can make it back for next weekend!!

They've already said he's expected to start.

That int overturning totally baffled me...but i think what they are sayin is that he never made a football move because he didnt get up or something like that...cuz one knee was still down...as you can tell i still dont really understand the call...crazy crazy game though...

Normally, if you blitz him, you will give up 80 yard touchdowns. New England showed the league that the best way to play him is to rush three and drop eight and that's the way teams have been playing the Colts. The Steelers came out with an excellent plan ignoring the Patriot's formula. Indy never could get their protection figured out. Plus, the Steelers secondary did a nice job when Peyton did have time. I think that this was more about the Steelers' success than it was about Peyton's failure. They brought the heat and the Colts didn't have an answer.

I just lost 15 dollars on the Colts, I hate them even more now!!

[GeauxTo]

WHAT an unbelievable ending! One moment, Bettis was the goat, the next, it was shifted onto the Colts' kicker. Boy, how bad do you think he feels! Normally, that's a chip shot for him.
