wow, glad i caught the end of that one. i don't know how vanderjagt missed by that much...he's usually money....

well, whats everyone's take on manning now? he's still gotta get rid of the "choker" before i will consider him a good qb. i don't care what you do in the regular season, if you can't win in the playoffs, then you just can't cut it.

Well Marino made it to at least ONE Super Bowl and considering they may lose Edge after this season I'm not sure Manning will be guaranteed that chance but it looks like he may be on the Marino path. He may put up all the numbers in the world during the regular season but the guy still can't get over the hump. And this was supposed to be THE YEAR to do it with home-field and the Pats getting knocked out yesterday. The last five minutes of that game were UN-FEAKING-REAL.

As far as taking the knee I believe Indy had all three timeouts so Pitt couldn't run out the clock that way.

what a strange game. why didn't pittsburg just take a knee? That would have saved all the drama after the bus fumbled.

And, i dont understand that interception call at all.. Incomplete?

Yeah that call was bogus

Manning has NO answer for a good blitz. He can't move in the pocket AT ALL! Many of his big plays come off of play action. Glad to see him exposed by a good D in the playoffs AGAIN! :laugh:

i see sanctified's reading this. and no one's commented on big ben's play. i can't say much, since i didn't turn the game on until like 8 minutes to go in the 4th quarter. but thats a big win for only a second year guy.

fixed, because saying that is a jinx on pittsburgh. if i hear anyone play that damn 'here we go' song, i'm ending their life.

lol yeah, that song gets on my nerves.. it's all I hear anymore.

Anyways, great game.. not sure how well we stack with Denver but it should be a good one.

Ha ha, the Bears are going to lose.

Yeah, Carolina came out with much more than the Bears were expecting. We just couldn't cover Smith. He's an amazing athlete. Plus, the Bears kind of beat themselves when they changed their style of play when Grossman had only started 1 game... I think it was a good game all in all.

Okay, practice next year for the Colts needs to have the rest of the team chanting "CHOKE CHOKE CHOKE" as Vanderjagt practices kicking...

Just a thought. :angry:

I do think there were some bad calls in the game. And to have the offense for the Colts push so hard to get so close and then have special teams blow it... well... I'm just a little upset. :p

Maybe next year.

There's a very good chance Vanderjagt won't BE with the team next year. He's a free agent and is not exactly on the best terms with the team considering past idiotic comments. And apparently he's not all that clutch either anymore.

I know, I kinda figure as much. I believe this is the second time that the Colts have gotten to the playoffs in the last 5 years and Vanderjagt "screwed the pooch" on a field goal.

Why do I keep reading people asking why didn't Pittsburgh take a knee at the end?

Indy had 3 timeouts at that point. So that takes away running out the clock. The Steelers were only up 3 so even if they do kick a field goal, you are up 6 and giving the ball back. A TD and extra point by Indy wins the game. It was clearly the right call to go for the touchdown, no matter what the outcome was.

As far as Roethlisberger, that was one helluva first half he put on the board. Nobody expected the Steelers to come out throwing on the Colts defense and he laced them with 2 early TD passes. It's going to be a battle in Denver because, as we all know, Denver never loses at home. They have the best home field advantage in the NFL.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
