OT: Texans already over the Colts 24-0

Bill Polian has clearly built a formidable team without Manning.

That isn't quite fair, 1999 taught us as 49ers fans how losing a HOF QB to an unexpected injury completely cripples a team.

Unexpected? People have been talking about Manning sitting out for months.

Damn, Vick STILL getting it done with his legs!

That said, there's no doubt in my mind that Manning deserves all of his MVPs.

 

[MW49ers5]

just dumb by Reid & Vick to take a 5 yard delay penalty there

 

[Crimsoncrew]

Time management by Vick is terrible, too. All three TOs gone due to poor management, two delay penalties. Brutal.

 

[Crimsoncrew]

Texans are an explosive offense, we saw that in the preseason game. The Colts are screwed without Manning. Looks like they'll definitely be able to choose Luck if they want, and with the new rookie cap, they'll be able to afford Luck and Manning; if he can even come back.

It's a testament to how good Manning is that this is what the team looks like without him.

 

[Crimsoncrew]

That was a very nice pass to Jackson, though. Gotta bring that ball in. Jackson's dropped a couple balls that have been tough, but the greats make those plays.

I honestly didn't hear anything about him actually missing time until a few weeks ago, before that it seemed like the majority of people were saying he'd be back, including the guys on the Colts.

I'm not defending Polian by the way, this completely exposes how he relied on Manning to carry the team and did a bad job of actually building a competitive team. All he did was go all in with Manning, and that bet fell through this year..

People were speculating that he'd be back, but a lot of people were also saying he won't for a few months now.

I agree about Polian. I don't think he's a bad GM, but he's VASTLY overrated.

 

[threelittleturds]

Holy sweet pass to Jackson, I thought he was throwing that away. Billick, you sillyass, rolling to the left and passing is a lot easier when you're a left handed QB.

 

[clyde_carbon]

What a throw by Vick. Wow.

 

[Crimsoncrew]

Yeah, I was thinking that as he said it.

 

[Crimsoncrew]

"I don't care if he's left-handed or not." Huh? Then why does it matter that he's rolling to his left?

Don't get me wrong, it was a great pass. But that's just ridiculous. Billick kills me a little.

 

[Crimsoncrew]

Jesus. 3rd and 15 and you let them pick up 14 on the ground? That's awful.

I think Billick just momentarily forgot Vick was a southpaw, still a great pass because that guy was breathing down his neck. The reverence he had was obviously for a right-handed QB making that throw.

 

[Crimsoncrew]

Btw, what's up with the Bills going into KC and blowing up the Chiefs? Anyone have that game? Dodub?

 

[Crimsoncrew]

Ugh. Just squeaked it out.

 

[threelittleturds]

That was a stupid penalty by the Eagles DB, the pass was overthrown.

(added)

That was a really good play fake by Bradford though, we could tell from the camera angle that it was a play action pass, but he did a pretty good job of selling that hand off.
