Open Thread: Christmas/Chanukah Gifts, Philly/Dallas game

by Brad Wells on Dec 25, 2006 1:35 PM EST in Horse Bucket

What did you get/give for Chanukah and/or Christmas? Post answers in the comments.

I gave my girlfriend an IPod Nano, and she got me a solar powered backpack (yes, it is quite cool) and a bottle of nice sake (my favorite drink).

This thread is also for the Philly/Dallas game.

Happy holidays, and Go Colts!

Hell yeah

Philly just won.

Yes, the Colts lost, but the Cowboys losing makes Xmas just a little bit sweeter

Pro Bowl QB Tony Romo stinks it up against a quality defense (142 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs). That's now 6 TDs and 11 INTs against any team not named the Cardinals or the Bucs. Almost half of Romo's 16 TDs came against thsoe two sorry teams.

However, I'm sure Terry will provide us with reasons why Romo sucked so hard this Christmas Day.

;)

In all seriousness, I think Romo is a decent QB. However, Cowboys fans annointing this guy the next Tom Brady were just plain silly. Romo is a decent QB with lots of room to grow. However, he is not an elite QB. Not even close.

To his credit

Terry did tell me before the game that Romo would have a special present for us under the tree.

Turns out he had two!!!

God Bless Him...

Jesus in cleats just loves to give this time of year...

These past two Indy losses hurt, but seeing the Cowboys lose too makes it hurt just a little less.

Go Colts!

He didn't tell us that ...

That all Romo would leave us was a turd.

by PaytonMenning on Dec 26, 2006 12:47 AM EST up reply actions

Sucks for Romo

He blew it. Carrie Underwood was watching him play and all he could muster were a couple of turnovers.

Terry???

Doncha love, how Romo puts up a crap game, and Terry disappears?

by PaytonMenning on Dec 26, 2006 11:34 AM EST up reply actions

rather meet philly in the superbowl

i'd rather meet philly than dallas in the superbowl. don't think the bears can get there and that leaves these two teams as the best two in the NFC i think. Saints have been blessed with a last place schedule this year and seattle may win their division going 8-8.

how about a colts - eagles rematch in the superbowl?

love to see that one - hope to see you there bleeding green nation

by bluegirl on Dec 26, 2006 11:39 AM EST reply actions

Uh why?

Why can't the Bears get there? They are by far the best team in NFC. They MAY not make it but please explain your analysis of why we won't get there.

by Chad @ Stampede Blue on Dec 27, 2006 5:29 PM EST up reply actions

Not being a hater ...

The Bears can get there. Of course they can. They are the best defense in the league (with apologies to Baltimore and San Diego). The only concern I see for the Bears are the injuries, but the depth chart has really paid off.

by PaytonMenning on Dec 27, 2006 6:27 PM EST up reply actions

Sure...

We have shortcomings. We are no lock. I just didn't like the certainty of her post. I really think we'll make it, I just wanted to hear her justification.

by Chad @ Stampede Blue on Dec 27, 2006 6:38 PM EST up reply actions

oh and the jags

thank you new england for knocking the spotted kitties right out of playoff contention. titans have looked better lately.... guess beating us was as close as the kitties get to the playoffs this year .. lol.. after all the chest beating about how they would win the division looks good on them...

by bluegirl on Dec 26, 2006 11:41 AM EST reply actions

now now now

That's not entierely accurate, Jacksonville diddn't get much credit at all in regards to pre-season predictions about winning the division.

And the way we lost to ya'll early in the season most certainly shut that talk up.

But you know what the Jags and the Colts have in common this season? Neither one of us will win any playoff games this year.

Better luck next time I suppose...

I disagree

We will win our WC game. Then play the Ravens, who cannot stop our O. And, whatever happens afterwards depends on who we play.

I can see at least 2 playoff wins for us.

eh, I'm being a bit snarky

The scary game would be the AFC Championship, I'm seeing LT set a record for playoff rush yards...

Let's not put the rookie QB led

chargers into the Conf. Championship game just yet. I think that the PATS are going to have some say in that.

Call me crazy, but I see a very likely Colts/Pats Conference Championship matchup, in the RCA Dome.

you got to be kidding

you stink as bad as we do, you can't even beat the Texans for God's sake.

Baltimore would destroy you in the pplayoffs.

by Terry @ Stampede Blue on Dec 26, 2006 6:00 PM EST up reply actions

Not going to argue w/you on

how bad both of our teams are playing, but the Ravens are a flawed team. They cannot stop 18. This isn't the first meeting. Look at what 93 does to Ogden. Look at what 18 does against one on one covering corners.

You team lost to the F'n Texans dude

To quote your ex-coach, " Playoffs????"

You'll be lucky to win your Wildcard game.

by Tom @ Stampede Blue on Dec 26, 2006 6:43 PM EST up reply actions

You can't quote him dummy ...

We're in the playoffs. Unless you didn't notice. We also won our division - something the Cowboys have not yet managed to do.

by PaytonMenning on Dec 26, 2006 7:03 PM EST up reply actions

Plus

Anyone notice we have more wins in the NFC East than the Cowboys do?

Go Colts!

by Marked Hoosier on Dec 26, 2006 10:13 PM EST up reply actions

He was talking about

our 6-10 team. That's right 6 wins and 10 losses. A little bit different than 11 wins and 4 losses.

"GO HORSE!"

by beester on Dec 26, 2006 9:02 PM EST up reply actions

Would we get the ultimate irony?

Vinitari either missing or making a field goal that sends one team or the other to the super bowl?

how crazy would that be (but I bet you know which way I'd like to see it go)

Terry

Just leave, man. No one wants you here and with the way your 'Boys are playing piling on our Colts is the only thing keeping you going. Face it, even the Bears would be a 10-6 team in the AFC and your 'Boys can't even do that in the worst conference in the history of the NFL. Yes, you beat us, but we also beat ourselves. Get over it and realize that in half a season Romo has already thrown more picks than 18 even though he "supposedly" has better receivers. Glenn is good, I'll give you that, but T.O. is a has-been. So, please, can you just leave now and go kneel at Jeff Garcia's throne?
