Quite the opposite, they were in the game til late in the 4th quater. Denver scored 24 points off of turnovers, you take away the New England mistakes, and its a different ball-game. None of these errors were "forced" by Denver either, it was just a lack of execution on the side of New England.
I feel the Colts loss is worse than New England\'s in many ways. New England was never picked to go to the Superbowl. This was "THE YEAR" for the Colts. They got the monkey off their back with New England, and they had homefield throuhgout. To have toyed with a perfect season, and then go one and done, that\'s just terrible. The Colts were the Superbowl favorites and they got outplayed.
New England just played like crap, the Colts at their best, were not good enough on this day. They were resilient, I will give them that much.
You have the dumbest logic ever, but that is to be expected from you. Both losses are just that, losses. Nothing more. The only difference is the Colts fell behind and almost came back, where as the Patriots just handed that game over. And none of those yards stats matter at the end of the day, not with those turn overs. But, I mean, if you want to come up with insane logic, go for it.
And dumbass of the year award goes to.....
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Joey Porter is not known to shy away from a microphone, and that might make him a little lighter in the wallet after his comments after Sunday\'s game against the Indianapolis Colts.
When Troy Polamalu\'s fourth-quarter interception was overturned by referee Pete Morelli, Porter felt the Steelers were facing opponents on two fronts: the Colts and the refs.
"I know they wanted Indy to win this game," Porter told The New York Times. "The whole world loves Peyton Manning, but come on man, don\'t take the game away from us.
Even after the win, he wants to whine about cheating? Questionable call, yes. But that has happened in every single playoff game so far.
Oh and Black - the only reason I ever mentioned Marino is because now everyone is jumpin\' on the \'hate Manning\' bandwagon, but guess what? He didn\'t lose the game. The Colts did. None of them played to their top performance, until the very end and then it was simply to late.
Anyways - with the four teams left, I hope the Steelers win it. Becuase minus dumbass Porter, they are a good team.
