AFC Championship game thread

 Nobody interested in our potential opponents for XLIX?

 

Colts no match for Pats

I see what you did there with the word "potential".

I look forward to seeing AR tugging on Andrew Luck's beard for good luck at the opening coin toss.

You're trying hard aren't you?

If you're talking about the "luck" pun, that was unintentional.  My comment was of course a reference to AR coming out of the tunnel against Detroit and tugging/stroking the beard of that guy on the sideline.  Brady doesn't have a beard, and Luck has that thing, whatever it is.

I don't have to try hard to be funny. 

you spelled "irritating" wrong

I don't have to try irritating to be funny.

You might want to think about it

We can beat either team tonight....and we can beat the seattle dumdums tomorrow.   I would feel better if we had a mobile ARod.   I can see Seattle bringing huge pressure up the middle to force him to move off a spot.  

Let them. Sitton-Linsley-Lang are the best interior pass blockers in the league and Eddie/ Kuhn's pass protection is excellent.

One of the worst trades ever.

@KBowenColts: Trent Richardson did not make the trip to New England due to personal reasons. It’s once again the tandem of Herron/Tipton for the @Colts.

The Colts are almost like the anti-Packers in terms of how they built their team.  They have just a boatload of guys originally from other teams who start for them.  I'll give them credit, they've made the most out of guys like Erik Walden, Godsder Cherilus, Laron Landry, etc. etc.

 

On paper the Colts look like a below average team other than the QB, but give coach Pagano credit, they've really overachieved and I'm kind of surprised at how badly they whipped the Broncos on both lines of scrimmage.

Don't disagree, but the fact that the Colts made their conference championship game is exhibit A as to how poor the AFC is.

Colts really don't look like a team focused to win such a big game. trent Richardson didn't even travel to New England and back up OL Xavier Nixon missed the flight and will be inactive.  I could see the Pats winning this in blow out fashion. 

Yup. Just trying to figure out if Colts will score at all.

 

This has 38-10 Patriots written all over it

Vegas has Pats -7. Over/under 53.5.  

I actually think the Broncos are more like the anti-Packers. They bought their entire team it seems like from Quarterback to Cornerback. At least the Colts have some key guys that are homegrown like Luck, Fleener, Werner, etc. I think the Colts did what Packer fans scream at Ted Thompson to do, they supplemented draft picks with free agents. Thompson stuck to his guns though whereas the Colts GM has a little more of a win now attitude. He's gonna wish he had stockpiled draft picks instead of free agents in a year or two when Luck's contract comes up...they're going to be spending big!

 Draft choices? Screw that "diamond in the rough" stuff. Haven't you heard about the new veteran's combine?

These guys are gonna be cut, polished and mounted. AND on sale.

Pats know how to turn Colt screw ups into TDs. That is something we couldn't do, but it is what you have to do to win championships.

At least I don't 

Oh look, an ilb who was available and affordable making a play in conference championship game.

I'm with team Belicheat for ring #4. At least cheating shows you're trying to win. I can respect that.

Looking like a Cheats vs Petes SB.

I would hope that Sitton-Linsley-Lang up their game on run blocking on the goal line.  Today, Buffalo, Detroit....their failure to move the defense cost us.

The very overrated Revis just officially locked up a SB berth for the Patriots.

dagger

This game sucks.

So another year in which the NFC championship is the true Super Bowl.

So the Packers lost another SB?
