    That is some wild shit, Bas. Eli's audibles and playcalling are on his greatest strengths, so I'm surprised to see him using such an obvious signal. Gotta give credit to the Steelers D for picking up on that too.

    Yikes, we look so mediocre, sort of like the Titans. :)

    Sorry guys, I had a moment of weakness. People will have to claw me off my Indy Wild Card prediction. :O

    Can't wait to get back to Indiana, this two game road trip was a mess.

    We got stopped on two huge fourth downs that could have easily changed the outcome (at the 50, and around the 35).

    They still didn't impress me, our defense had them locked up for the most part aside from the stupid interception Clark caused at the end. They were a better team today though, but we're still in this. We'll get them in Indy again late into the year. We have three tough road games left, but we have the skill to win 2 out of the 3 and make a run at this whole shit.

    It's going to have to be a Wild Card spot, right?

    Tennessee will lose its first playoff game.

    Yeah but the Wild Card teams aren't too powerful imo (aside from your talented Chargers, no BS I think they can be very dangerous).

    The teams in contention "ahead" of Indy are the Pats/Bills/Jets (at least they're in the same division and will kill each other to a degree) , and the Ravens of all freaking teams. I don't expect the AFC East to take three teams into the post-season, and the Ravens are not ready at all. We get another shot to put away the Jags and Texans so Indy is right in the mix.

    Mamba, I'd say you won't get the Wild Card but you have a decent shot at taking the division.

    I actually played Left Defensive End in high school and caught the o line calling a screen play. It happens. I'm surprised that they picked it up too.

    My brother played the same position in HS and said one game he was able to tell if it was a run play by the way the center unconsciously positioned his fingers before the snap. I never played football, so these little nuances in the game have always interested me.

    Who added the "Bills are overrated" tag? I think it's an interesting topic to discuss. I personally don't think they are, although I don't consider them an elite team (I really don't think they are any elite teams so far this season). They still look like a team that can win any given matchup, which is enough for me to group them with the top teams in the NFL.

    I consider the Patriots, Jets, Ravens, Broncos, and Buccaneers to be overrated.

    Their undefeated record hides some weaknesses and close wins, but I like the Titans. They look like a slightly crappier version of the '01 Ravens.

    The Steelers are a good O-line away from being the best team in the league, IMO.

    Sad thing is, it's been that way for the last few years, but we did face the 3 best rush attacks in the NFL in the Eagles Giants and Ravens. Team like SD (no offense Mamba), arent even close so we should beat them

    If your D was fully healthy, I'm not even totally confident that the Giants would have escaped out of their with a win. I'm hoping you guys stick it to the Redskins this Sunday.
