In other news, Buffalo draws the London game against the Jags this year.

The only dumbshit disccusion is those thinking it wasn't a catch, so all other commentary on the catch is welcomed here.

 

[phreaqe]

I can't search for it. I image there is no, but it is probably hard to find with all the Dez news taking up space. They reviewed it (as it was in 2 minutes) and all the replays looked to show the ball turn when it hit the ground.

I did a search and i think i found it. Is this the one you are referring to? Link If so that's a clean catch. His hands are clearly underneath the ball and he had control.

I can't see it, so I can't confirm.

At least that should be an easy win for rex.

Thought all the London games were already announced?

If the SB isn't Patriots v Seahawks I'll be very surprised. But as a Patriots fan, I'd much rather see the Packers than the Seahawks.

This is my thoughts as a Pats fan.

Even with that catch, Dallas wasn't a sure win. They were giving up a lot against Rodgers and letting GB stick around, when it should have been a much larger lead. GB just played better in the second half. That single play didn't cost Dallas the game, their entire second half play did. That Murray fumble, the defense giving up big plays on 3rd down, Romo's mishandled snap on 3rd down, everything. GB deserved that win just as much as Dallas, and they got it.

Yeah, the way the game was going GB would have scored on the next possession. GB could have scored another TD on their last drive if they wanted to. What would have made it interesting if Murray scored on that run instead of fumble. If there was any one play, that was it.

 

[lupi]

What sucks though is that while the murray play was something that occurred on the field, the dez play was an arbitrary decision not impacted by those actually playing.

Go Colts and Packers!

I've known for weeks that the Lions will play KC in London next year

Lol @ colts saying they used the seattle defense gameplan to beat denver. Too bad you won't be around for the actual seattle defense to crush you. One of the most mediocre defenses all season and now comparing yourself to seattle.

 

[SunnyD]

And Greg Roman is officially Buffalo's OC.

No word yet on whether Jim Schwartz is staying or not.

It was the Seattle gameplan. I'm just surprised they were able to stick to it the whole game. Such solid tackling and tight coverage, and as the game went on it seemed like no one was open. Had Manning hit on some of those mid to deep passes early Indy probably would have changed coverage.

The question is, can they apply it to NE.

I'm not sure how Indy can praise their defense... from what I saw Denver beat themselves. Peyton couldn't throw with proper timing for the long ball, D Thomas had a rough stretch of butter fingers, and the play calling kept forcing pass plays that weren't working.

There was a little bit of pressure on Manning, but not that often. No INTs from Indy either.

Indy's offense won that game. Specifically the o-line

You don't think the Colts studied film from the Super Bowl and the last time the Broncos and Seahawks met to see what worked and what didn't? Just because the Colts don't have the players Seattle has doesn't mean they couldn't use their plan and use it fairly well.

The Colts defense played pretty well.

 

[darkewaffle]

As hard as it may be to believe, it's been a decade since we saw a defending Super Bowl champion win a playoff game. Ten years of one-and-dones or the champs missing the postseason altogether.

Huh. Interesting that it's been so long since a team followed up a championship with 'just' a playoff win even.

 

[lupi]

I think a lot about the colt defensive performance had to do with manning sucking, and as some suspected and is now being confirmed, due to him being hurt.

That's what I saw, as well. The game, overall, was just really ugly. I think Indy played well, but not nearly well enough to defeat an early season Broncos squad. I just saw the least-shitty team win that game yesterday.

However, it seems the Luck-lead Colts now have a history of playing to the level of their opponents and just finding ways to win. In the end, that's really all that matters.

This, because I want to see a non-crappy Super Bowl. Any other combo of teams making it wouldn't be nearly as good. Who the hell would want to watch gimpy Rodgers taking on the 2.7 YPC rushing game of the Colts? We see enough shitty games during the year to have the big game be one also.

I for one would love to see Rodgers in the Super Bowl. To me, he is the most exciting QB to watch in the league.

When he can move, he's definitely up there. He's injured, though, and quite frankly--Seattle is just far more entertaining overall.

Rodger's is a much better QB, certainly, but I think Wilson is at least as exciting to watch as Rodgers, if not more so (I'd say Wilson is the most exciting to watch in the league right now)

I think Seattle's offense in general is exciting. Mostly due to Wilson playing very smart and Lynch showing what real power football is.

They led the NFL is explosive plays, too. I really just don't want to see Seattle in another SB -- I'd perfer, personally, Rodgers v Brady (though I'm picking the Colts because of my distain for Belilcheat)

But yeah...cannot rationally disagree with how the Hawks are playing now.

 

[lupi]

I wouldn't be surprised to learn rogers needed a shot during halftime to make it through the game. He was hobbled noticeably just walking to the huddle after making a first after some of those third and longs. And he gave no attempt no move out of the pocket after about mid first quarter.
