Reactions to Colts vs Chargers game?

Question

Damn I was just on here looking at all the questions with people predicting who would win the game.
About 95 % of the people on here said the Colts would crush San Diego. One perspn even said "I'd bet all my belongings on it"

Now my question is what is your opinion of the game

Answer 1

Well first off, I hope the person on the other end of that bet made shipping arrangements for the belongings.

I think one of the biggest surprises was Golden Clutch Kicker Boy Vinatieri missing that last field goal. Seems like it should be been an easy one for him to boot in.

Other than that, I expected the game to be pretty close so it wasn't a huge shocker for me.

Answer 2

I didn't start watching the game until I heard Peyton had thrown 4 interceptions in the first half. I assumed it would be an easy win for the Colts, but the Colts were too injured and not playing to their usual. It could've been a great comeback win, but ended up just being a great comeback. Regardless of who won, it takes a strong team to come back from that far behind so quick.

Answer 3

My reaction is that, despite getting 6 picks and two kick returns for touchdowns, the Chargers still were in a position to lose that game. And that's just inexcusable.

Even when the Chargers were doing good, they were screwing up. For example, when Cromartie got his pick in the end zone, I was screaming at the TV for him to take a knee. So, what does he do? He runs it out of the end zone and is brought down at the 5. They could have been at the 20. And, what happens? They go three-and-out and Scifres has to punt from his own end zone.

Blame the coaching changes over the last year and everyone having to get used to new systems. Blame opposing defenses for figuring out the Chargers offense and defending them better. Blame Norv Turner for unimaginitive play calling. Blame Phillip Rivers for becoming flustered too easily or for dumb mistakes.

But, this Chargers offense is as bad and inconsistent as it's been since the Ryan Leaf years. And, unless they get their collective heads screwed on straight, this team will lose more games like the Indy game than they win this season.

BTW - to the guy who said San Diego had 3 field goals, it was only 1 field goal. They just missed an extra point on one of the touchdowns. Sproles had two kick returns for TDs and LT ran one in.

Answer 4

Colts lost fair and square. Every dog has its day and any given sunday anything can happen.

I thought the Colts would pull it out in the end, they should have cept they missed the FG. I think its pretty damn good that they were short on players and weapons, Peyton threw 6 INTs and they STILL had a chance to win the game! I expect them to win out the reg season

Answer 5

Horribly played by both sides. The only bright sides were the special teams of San Diego and the defense of the Colts.

Answer 6

Really an eye opener that even with 6 turnovers the San Diego offense managed just 3 FGs (their other 14 points came from the 2 return TDs) and only 177 total yards of offense. Indy spotted them a 23-0 lead, Manning had probably the worse game of his NFL career, and Indy still should have won the game.

Answer 7

Well if you check my answers, I said that Chargers would win last nights game... I had the bigegst feeling they were but the Colts did an amazing job of almost winning the gamewith all their mistakes... The kcker just screwed it up

Answer 8

Looked like the Cowboys v. Bills except Indy lost. You know the other team (Bills, Chargers) are really bad when the QB plays horrible (5 INT v. 6 INT) and either wins or should have won.

Answer 9

I thought Dungy was a fool trying to resort to trickery in the end, rather than kicking the field goal and allowing their defense to stop SD. That 5 yards could have helped, although Vinateris miss was still inexcusable.

Answer 10

i am a GIANTS fan, and my step son LOVES indy for some reason (i tease him that he has never even been to indiana in his young life, but hey, he's a kid and he idolizes Peyton Manning)... the poor kid was heartbroken this morning when he got up for school and found his Colts lost to the chargers (something i certainly didna think the Colts had it in them to do)

If a sorry team like that can manage to overachieve in a single game against a clearly superior team (like ILLiNOISE did to my Buckeyes on Saturday, and like the doilies cowbuoys did to my Giants on Sunday) then the patsies can sure as hell lose a game this year, and i sincerely hope it is in their FIRST playoff game!!!
