Denver's good but yeah, not so dominant like people were saying. Only 2 TDs allowed and then BOOM! At least they found some scoring of their own.

Nice win Colts!

**eggy6198** · 10-29-06, 07:40 PM

gutted thats it for demver twats

**Peyton2MarvinN06** · 10-29-06, 07:42 PM

Some of us tried to tell you guys all week that the Colts were gonna come in and dominate the Denver defense! I hope they make us underdogs next week against the Patriots! We'll see who gets the last laugh! CONGRATS TO EVERYONE THAT LAID MONEY ON THE COLTS! LET'S GO HORSE!

**slacker00** · 10-29-06, 07:43 PM

Nice game, Plummer. See you in Indy come January.

**moses millsap** · 10-29-06, 07:50 PM

This game capped off a miserable week for me. The playcalling at the end for Denver was gutless.

**Jay Edgar** · 10-29-06, 08:43 PM

You know that he is going to gut you if you don't blitz. The strategy of seemingly never bringing anybody, ever, all day, is, well, questionable to me. And I think Shanahan is as good as they come. Maybe I'm the dummy.

even better since I plan to bet over
addai and rhodes won't be running anywhere which will only leave the passing game also denver has the weapons to have a shootout only no one caused them to do so yet this year. As I said bailey can only stick one person harrison or wayne. Colts will score and can keep scoring if need be we all saw many times manning will abandon the run and throw ever down if he has too. Which I think will cause shanahan to stop playing conservative and sitting on his small leads have plummer(jake the snake) throw and run to try and keep a leg up on indy because no lead to great will be safe if indy's passing game is clicking.

Very accurate quote
I guess over was the play

As soon as I saw this, I immediately put money on the Colts spread, moneyline, and over.

Defense wins championships but offense wins regular season games. The only way you beat a Peyton Manning team is by making sure he has less than 3 seconds to throw the ball every time he drops back to pass. Shanahan will show a different hand should they meet in a more meaningful game.

Hey BB, next time another "Sucker Bet of the Week" comes along, make sure you let us know because they're 2 for 2 so far.

I wonder why Razz isn't quoting himself on this one?

Congratulations Slacker, your boys just brought on a lot of "undefeated" hype once again.

Oh he will...right after he gets done explaining how all the sharps bet, and how Denver was the "right" play and how if we keep betting games like this, in the long run, we'll all be broke. Indy wins that game outright at least half the time in those conditions. That moneyline before kickoff was an easy value bet.

Yep, and how hard is it to switch Bailey to Wayne? MH is the better receiver, but Williams is at least quick enough to cover him. He isn't quick enough to stay with Wayne. I said it in the first quarter, Denver still hasn't realized it.

**dave11486** · 10-30-06, 01:41 AM

So much for the Shanahan/Dungy factor...

This game was bad news for me...

I agree with the second paragraph, to an extent (though the Broncos still win this game a lot more often than they lose it). The last sentence is very true. If these teams meet in the playoffs, Denver will likely win.
You're an idiot for the other two paragraphs though. Just because something is a sucker bet doesn't mean it's guaranteed to lose - it will more often than not, but the public (you) still wins over 40% of the time. (Actually the Jets were the biggest sucker bet this week, Colts were second, and Philly was 3rd, but that's irrelevant) And how did BB saying the Colts were a sucker bet make you play over? Dumbass. Must be easy to say who you had after the game.

You don't need to explain the same tutorial that BB pulled out last week after he exclaimed how much of a sucker bet Wisconsin was just because the "public" (me) was hammering it and the line wasn't moving (by the way Wisconsin is 6-1-1 versus the spread). I'm just asking that the next time you guys get together on the phone and talk yourselves out of a game because the public will play it and it's a "sucker bet", I'd love to know about it because right now it's trending quite well.

The over was nothing more than a correlated bet on what was likely to take place as a result of a Colts win. Since this was a matchup of absolute certain offense (Colts) vs. supposed defense (Broncos), then a Colts win would likely result in a total that goes over, which it did. The sucker bet here was to bet the home favorite without acknowledging the likelihood that Shanahan would be unwilling to reveal how he would ultimately like to defend the Colts. Mike is perfectly happy to yield a loss in October for a better chance at a win in December. I was banking on it and I got paid.

Do you want me to explain this concept further or would you like to try and find a legitimate reason to call me a dumbass? I mean I've done some things in my life that would warrant calling me a dumbass but I assure you this wasn't one of them.

...This one will be a shootout & Denver just can't keep up offensively, unless they devise some bizarre strategy similar to what Pittsburgh used in the playoffs last year. But I still think the Colts overcome. "Fool me once, shame on you... fool me twice, shame on me.". Colts 31 Broncos 27

When Slacker (a great Indy resource even though it's his favorite team) wrote this, I immediately thought to myself, "Is Denver capable defensively of doing what Pittsburgh did last year in the playoffs. Yes. Is this the playoffs? No." That's the reason Indy was the play in this game.

Well done, Slacker.

If by "idiot" you mean I don't subscribe to the proclamations of a $10 bettor when he announces one side or another a "sucker bet" then you're probably right.

**McBa1n** · 10-30-06, 02:54 AM

Well, Denver played a PERFECT game, with 1 mistake. That mistake was generated by a Left Tackle falling down and missing a key block on a stunt move by guess who?
Did it cost them the game? no. But it was the difference. Lepsis injury really only impacted 1 play, however, Denver CONSTANTLY double teamed or chipped Freeney, and that takes away from their protection/route scheme.

Indy owns Denver, fellas. I don't mean to say 'I told ya so'... But you can't stop a focused Peyton without a really good/exotic defensive scheme. Belichick has been doing it to Manning for years with smoke+mirrors. Denver's D is on a very similar level talent-wise to those Patriot teams that whip the Colts. I think Denver actually has the edge in many positions compared to those teams.

Also, Denver has 0 pass rush. They have little to no cap room to address that, either, for next year.
They need a stud on the D Line, bigtime, and fast. Oneor two big plays by the D line and Denver could've won the game.

Either way, it was a heluva game... And Denver is VERY close to entering the elite teams in the NFL. They are a stud and an impact roll player away on D, IMO.

Indy's Defense is brutal. No way, even with homefield advantage, could they win 3 games in the post season in a row IMO.
