[Butterscup1679666578]

Per FOX Sports' Jay Glazer, #Saints coach Sean Payton has a broken knee, broken tibia, and a torn MCL.

hahahaha schwartz, what a [expletive] spaz. that guy's alway acting like a [expletive] and then some meathead slaps him on the back like the oaf he is and he gets all red-assed.

[shnsajax]

I may have to get a Sean Lee jersey at some point.

Darn Patriots and Brady.

 

I'm real ready for his career to come to an end and the Pats to go back to not having a super QB.

um, we want any wild card contender in the NFC to lose.

Not thinking of it in that way.

Tom Brady's win streak at home is much more impressive when you ignore his last two home playoff games.

you should. i was ecstatic when he threw that td

[SouthSideRyan]

Patrick: Coleman had 1 INT in his career coming into today, had 3 today.

 

Dungy: I guess he hasn't played against Rex Grossman enough.

[Careless]

I'm half-way surprised we don't see more pissed off coach reactions like the one today. A guy excited about winning a big game shaking hands with a guy dejected after losing it?

 

Also, Fox's post-game show just had the weirdest death announcement I've seen for some NASCAR driver. The guy was twitching like a wide receiver dancing after a big catch while he gave it.

Don't know why. Playoffs are way too removed to be getting excited over one win from an ancillary team when it quite possibly won't even matter (the way we've been playing doesn't exactly inspire confidence).

[Andy]

Well, Carolina sucks. And for all the Cam Newton awesomeness, he has 7 TD passes and 7 picks this year.

 

Draft this team a defense, an offensive line, and more receivers.

[Guest]

Decent win for the Raiders today, though it shouldn't have gone down to the wire like it did. The fake punt was an amazing call and pretty much locked up the game.

 

The bad news is that Jason Campbell broke his collarbone and might be done for the year. Kyle Boller was alright and they've only got one game (home to KC) before a bye week so hopefully they can not blow that one. Wish they were on a bye this coming week.

[Soul]

I'm kind of curious about Caldwell. While it's a horrible thing to lose Peyton Manning obviously, they've got losses to some bad teams (Cincy, KC). Yes, losing your stud QB is a bad blow, but it also shines a light on some things. I'm wondering what the feeling might be in Indy -- do you have a coach, or just a guy who took the reins of a good situation and rode it for awhile?

 

Personally, I lean towards the latter. There's really not much evidence this guy can actually coach anything. He basically rode the Manning train, and now that it's gone, he can't cobble together any wins at all.

Any chance they look to trade for Orton?

[TruffleShuffle]

it's not just manning. that was an old team that's continued to get older and hasn't gotten drafted enough good young players to replace the aging talent.

[Soul]

Also, Grossman's continued spasms of badness.

 

 

I tried to support this guy for years, but it's time to definitively put an end to his career. Yes Rex, we know you believe in yourself. The problem is when you start to suck it's a neverending tide of INTs. You're done. Start polishing up your resume, pal. Your post NFL career is calling.

[SouthSideRyan]

Yep, guys usually go from starting QB to out of the league.

Caldwell is probably the worst coach in the NFL. The man should have never, ever been a head coach in the NFL (he was 26-63 as a college coach). It's a farce he was ever hired.

[UMFan83]

I wasn't sure if I liked Schartz's antics before yesterday, but now I think I gotta say I LOVE THEM. This dude's gonna entertain me for years with his erratic irrational behavior. The NFL needs more coaches like this. He is the anti-Lovie Smith in almost every way.

[jersey cubs fan]

I'm kind of curious about Caldwell.

 

Really? Why? It was the consensus before Peyton got hurt that he was just the coach in name and that entire team revolved around Manning. He's barely a coach.

Caldwell sucks as a HC. I thought he was the MVP for the Jets in last year's playoff victory over the Colts. I can't remember exactly what it was he did though...I just remember at the time I thought "wow, this guy just handed Los Yets the game"...must have been something since I usually hate the whole "lets lay everything bad on the coaches" thing that gets done in football analysis.

[tfarks]

When it comes to clock management, Caldwell makes Lovie look like a genius.

The Jets were content to try an upper 40's field goal with a kicker who had been inconsistent. Caldwell called a timeout which caused the Jets to try another pass play and gave them a much closer field goal. That was probably the worst example from the playoff game, but finding Caldwell mistakes is pretty easy. I laughed during yesterday's game when they said Caldwell had finally had enough of Lacey and pulled him in the 2nd half. Fans have been mystified about Lacey starting since training camp.

 

With Manning the Colts would still have been 4-2, 5-1. It's a perfect storm without him. The defense is on the field too much and they are getting worn down at the end of games. The offensive line isn't good enough to just line up and run the ball, and for an offense that is a timing passing game the accuracy of Painter and Collins has been awful. Add in the multitude of injuries and there just isn't enough left to win games. Manning would have minimized many of those flaws. They've still had a chance to win each of the last 5 games in the 4th quarter though.

 

This could actually be a really good thing for the Colts especially if they can find a way to get the #1 pick. For years Indy fans have talked about how after Manning leaves it will take a long time to rebuild. Getting the #1 pick and either getting Luck or trading him for a huge haul of draft picks would be a significant step towards their future. I'll gladly take 1 year of horrible play for that.
