Og dér kom så det defensive spil... endda af en mand jeg efter sidste runde var klar til at smide på porten efter tre fumbles på tre punt returns... Keiwan Ratliff - all is forgiven... for now!

All I can say is playoffs Håber faktisk vi skal møde Broncos. Et af de mest ustabile hold i NFL lige nu.

Tillykke til Colts.. Jeg har stor sympati for Peyton Manning, men Colts må håbe forsvaret kommer mere med.

JUBII , dog synes jeg der var nogle super ringe spil, af rhodes og spil valg af manning eksempel hvor det er 3 & 1 ud i siden og derefter bliver rhodes nærmest overfaldet, men synes helt klart manning gjordt det godt, vi var lige lidt uheldige med nogle pinfulge flags, og en hvor der ikke var flag hvor der skulle havde været (manning bliver ramt af 2 mand og er lige blevet dømt mindre roughness?? på colts) og så syntes jeg at colts defense ikke rigtigt havde noglet store spil før Q4 -8min, undtagen 2 sacks de kunne slet ikke stoppe l'øbet de hoppede bare efter ham men fik ham ikke ned det gør squ ondt at se på. .

Fra ESPNs Bill Simmons' Power Ranking (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/081219)

THE FAVORITES
1b. Indianapolis Colts
1a. Pittsburgh Steelers

I can't choose between them, and here's why: Remember the scene in "Rain Man" when Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman catch fire at the blackjack table, and there's that one hand when Cruise gets blackjack, raises his hands happily, then does the incredulous Cruise laugh for a few seconds? That's the Steelers and the Colts right now. They're winning every conceivable type of hand and catching every break, and after a while, you start waiting for their coaches (Tony Dungy and Mike Tomlin) to raise their hands happily and do the Incredulous Cruise Laugh. I thought for sure Dungy would dust it off Thursday night when David Garrard threw the game-ending TAINT out of nowhere to Keiwan Ratliff. Didn't happen.

Luck is a major part of football, whether we like to admit it or not … but at the same time, you make your own luck to a certain degree. With Jacksonville frantically trying to tie Thursday's game in the final seconds, Maurice Jones-Drew got racked by two Colts on a screen pass and couldn't get up, leading to a 10-second run-off and Jones-Drew being removed from the game. That was a classic part-luck/part-skill moment. But when Dwight Freeney finished off the Jags by demolishing their left tackle and sacking Garrard to end the game, that was just skill and talent. The best teams take advantage of every opening they're given. And if winning football is a mixture of making plays, not making mistakes and getting a sprinkle of good fortune at the right times, you can't do it any better than Indy and Pittsburgh have been doing it lately.

Just remember, if they meet in the playoffs -- and odds are, they will -- there will be only one horseshoe available.


Dels kan jeg sagtens se Rain Man-scenen for mig (7 minutter inde: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RW1qHA5Hqwc), dels må man jo give ham ret. Noget af det er held, men spillerne laver også de nødvendige spil (Freeney in this case) når det er nødvendigt...

Nu vil jeg kun sidde at vente, at Dungy kommer med "Incredulous Cruise Laugh".
