Friend just called and had an extra ticket, Yes I am going now. This is not good. Hope your car breaks down

Amid a sea of blue and with bright sunlight streaming into Lucas Oil Stadium, the Colts' past mingled with their present Sunday afternoon. Consider it a long overdue olive branch extended to the Colts, pre-relocation, by owner Jim Irsay. The 1975 Baltimore Colts, who hold a special place in Irsay's heart, were on hand. UNDEFEATED: Colts reach 9-0 There was coach Ted Marchibroda, joined by quarterback Bert Jones, running back Lydell Mitchell, wide receiver Roger Carr, offensive linemen George Kuntz, Ken Mendenhall and David Taylor, defensive standouts Mike Curtis, Bruce Laird, John Dutton and Fred Cook. There were more than three dozen members of the '75 Colts, all enjoying the moment in Indianapolis. They stood in back of the south end zone while the current Colts warmed up. They took group pictures, hugged. At one point, quarterback Peyton Manning approached Jones. If the moment was awkward for the '75 Colts considering the franchise's relocation to Indianapolis in 1984, they did a nice job disguising it. "The Colts have a wonderful legacy in Baltimore and Jimmy was part of that legacy," Jones said. "But they've moved. They're in Indianapolis and they're doing spectacularly here. They belong right here. It's a wonderful place, a wonderful time." Irsay never has forgotten the Baltimore days, the ties to the past. He has had a few legendary players in town for special occasions -- tight end John Mackey, wide receiver Raymond Berry, coach Don Shula, Hall of Famers all. But never has there been a group sighting in Indianapolis. Until Sunday. Bert Jones attributed it to Irsay. Some players attended Saturday's practice. Everyone was on hand for a dinner that evening at the team complex. "Y'all may not know the heart of Jimmy Irsay. He has a spectacular heart," Jones said. "Jimmy grew up with this 1975 team." The 16-year old son of owner Robert Irsay in '75, Jim was the Colts' ballboy. "He was the guy who picked up the dirty jocks and everything else in the locker room," Jones said. "He'd spend most of his evenings in my room in training camp. He kind of matured. We matured as a team.'' The Colts were a league-worst 2-12 in 1974. Marchibroda took over as coach in '75, and they won the AFC East at 10-4. "Because of that, we all had this sense of family," Bert Jones said. "It was a signature time for this ballclub in the '70s, and a signature time for Jimmy Irsay.''

This season is far from over max, even if we lose this week against Indy. It all comes down to the Steelers games. Its a MUST win Sunday or 99.9% chance we dont get into the tourney, Jax and Houston will have better conference records than us, especially with Denver and Houston already defeating Cinncy.

Tell him to reattempt it, I'll kick the chair out from under him.

Two things about betting on sports, I don't bet on something that is decided by a ball because no one can determine which way it is going to bounce. So you'd rather play the stock market where the outcome of your investment depends on one word mentioned from the Federal Reserve Chairman??

Ease up a little Jungle. Getting swept in the division after making the AFC Championship game the year before will do that to you. Just because we were swept, dosent mean the we wont be in the AFCC Game..Now if you boys think you have the AFCC game wrapped up, you are sadly mistaken.. Dont stumble in Oakland ala Philly..Caus if you do, there will be 2 sets of arms waiting to catch you and toss you back in the cellar, where you have comfortly rested for the past 2 decades.. Trivia Pursuit, has sent me a prototype for a new sports trivia question. "What NFL Team went 6-0 in their division, yet failed to make the playoffs?"

1. Suggs not in Owings Mills 2. Ravens are tight lipped, aint saying anything on Suggs. 3. Harbs slipped up and said he wished Stover was still here.

Cleet, I thought the MCL was the worst of the 3..Isnt that what shorted Boulwares career.

ESPN is reporting, torn MCL KJ Gerard has been called up!!

No JT, but thats not Next Man up..Dont you all pay attention to what Dallas and the 4-Skids do?? You brought in has beens, they are not Bengals 09 Football, you have a chemistry, I guarantee they eff it up..

Im not sure what the hell that means anymore. It used to mean play physical, sound football for 60 minutes. attack the QB. Now it means, try not to embarass yourselves with 20 penalties a game. The game vss Denver was Ravens football..We smack that high foreheaded SOB like we smacked Orton, we'll win.

cake-walk? I didnt say that...But its very winnable, IF we play Ravens football.

They are flat out saying the Ravens will win. The only explanation I can come up with for this is that it's an Act of God....with the bad economy...people out of work...xmas comming...God wants people to have some money. Now he just needs to give me some money so I can put it on this game. Trend I found interesting, Ravens are 2-0 vs Manning at the ATM, with Cravnravn in attendance I have ticket firmly in hand

The only chance we have in this game is if we hit Manning so hard on the first play that he is looking out his earhole, thinks up is down, left is right, black is white etc. If we can start, the way we started vs Denver, and rattle Pay-A-Tons cage with a hit like JJ laid on Orton, it would send a message.

Desperate teams, make desperate moves.

NICE

Stover has a week to week contract, he'll be the one cut.

Eff Quinn!!!! Too bad we wont get another shot at the prick. It was blantant a cheap shot you'll find, look at the replay.

ROTFLMAO http://www.scoresandodds.com/grid_20091122.html How in the hell!!! I had this as the Ravens would be getting 7-7 1/2 points

Houshanka shouldnt have been allowed on the plane last night.

A win, is a win is a win.. who soon we forget that the Bengles needed OT to defeat Leaveland.. We shut them out.

Eff Quinn, bastard cheap shot..Just had a feeling this game would get nasty.

It's cool. I'm surrounded by Steeler's fans here in Frederick, MD and it drives me nuts Me too....They are pathetic, but I had my fun yesterday afternoon..Just hope I can duplicate it a couple of weeks from now.

That special teams lapse was the difference in the game. It was a defensive game all the way with both offenses unable to score in thne redzone. Steeler fans can cry in their towels. Did I hear that right that the Bengal return was the 7th straight game that Pittsburgh has allowed a return. With them losing Hairnet, we control our destiny.
