Point is, the actions of Harbaugh and Schwartz took away from a great football game.

 

No they didn’t. They made it triple awesome.

 

I don’t care who started it, or who was most at fault.

 

Yeah, let’s not get all “contexty” about this thing. The nuances don’t matter. What matters is… THIS NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF JOSEPH A. BANK WAS IN CHARGE

 

Peter King and Drew Magary weigh in on the coach fight, King thinks that coaches should wear suits to keep them in-line.

In the galaxy of Eagle stars, Kurt Coleman is not one

And here’s another PK Butchered Sentence of the Week. As a galaxy of stars, we underrate Kurt Coleman, who is not a galaxy.

 

“I had a great feel for Rex (Grossman),” said Coleman. “For some reason, after scouting them on tape, I had a great read on him and on their pass concepts…

COLEMAN WATCHING TAPE: Why does he keep chucking the ball downfield into triple covera… OH WAIT! I got it! Because he sucks. Tendency: LEARNED.

 

“…I just felt like I knew where he was going with the ball all day.”

Kurt, every defender has said that about every Rex Grossman pass ever

Harbaugh is a [expletive] weirdo. If you watched the end of the game live there was at least 15 seconds of him untucking his shirt and doing some sort of dry heave set to music on the sidelines before he ran out to midfield to do that weird handshake to Schwartz. Good coach though.

what is #22 doing there to Reid? It seems like he may be performing a cup check.

Graham did another flop yesterday:

[Banedon]

Haha...me too. He's owning for my fantasy team.

Maybe the hands in the air is a bit much, but I'd certainly go back down if my ankle was caught between the guy's legs as he rolls over to stand up. At least, that's what it looks like from that double speed gif.

I love what Graham is doing for my fantasy team, but he seems like a punk.

That's true. Didn't see that his foot was caught. For those that missed his first flop last week:

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

He also had the timeout against Jacksonville last year when the Jaguars ran the ball and were content to let the clock run out and go to overtime but instead moved the ball into field goal range and hit the winner. They might have lost that game in OT anyway but Caldwell should have just let it get there.

so does Peyton have a broken leg? also, screw Schwartz, Harbaugh was overly excited, but I doubt his handshake was anything malicious

Haha, that was a brutal non-call and a possible 14-point swing.
