The touchdown record is at best tangential to whether Indy would win at Denver (starters can still get pulled off the field when it is 14-7 in the second quarter), but let's be serious.
Tony Dungy is not an idiot. If the game means nothing to Indy, he's not going to risk seeing Peyton being carried off the field and his teams' playoff hopes going down the toilet for some silly record. Just because Peyton gets to play offensive coordinator doesn't mean he's the coach.
As it stands, the team is designed cap-wise to compete for that TD record every year - Indy is the BYU of the NFL. If I'm Tony Dungy, and Peyton can't get two today, that's his loss.

Now that the Broncos won last night, we definitely need them to lose next week vs the Colts. The problem is, the Colts may have nothing to play for next week and may be resting their starters. However, if the Patriots lose, and the Colts win, the Colts will have something to play for as they will still have a shot at securing the 2nd seed and have a first round bye. So then we should root for the Jets, as the Colts will be more likely to beat the Broncos next week. However, if the Patriots beat the Jets, we are just one game behind Jets (assuming we beat the 49ers), and the Jets have to play the Rams next week, which could be a tough game for the Jets as the Rams may be playing for the last NFC wildcard spot. How does our playoff situation look if we are tied with the Jets?
The Colts-Chargers is at 1, the Jets-Patriots game is at 4. If the Colts win, do we root for the Jets?
In week 17, the Pats-SF play at 1 and the Colts play at 4:15. So the Colts should have an idea before kickoff (or during the first quarter whether the game will mean anything).

AOL is with the majority on this one. The Rams are a three point favorite. The line reflects an expectation that Philly will be playing the practice squad all night, since their playoff position cannot change over its last two games.
Cheer up - if the Rams win and make the playoffs, Martz won't get fired. The elague would be less amusing without him.

Yeah - I know. The pickings are slim as well with so many teams using multiple tailbacks for various reasons. Portis hasn't lit the world on fire, but he still would seem to compare favorably to Green.
It's easily his worst year production wise as a Packer, plus he has 7 fumbles (4 FL). An overpriced "brand" for sure.

Love the Vikings today. Philly sucked the heart out of Green Bay a few weeks ago with that trouncing. As long as Mike Tice doesn't have a complete mental collapse (which I agree wouldn't be shocking), I think you'll see a fairly substantial win by the Vikings today.
Not sure who I'm rooting for.....
Can someone explain to me how Ahman Green made the pro-bowl?

For what it is worth, I like Minnesota, Tampa Bay and the Jets this week. Three short priced home revenge games. Minnesota is my fave - Favre has not had success on artificial turf throughout his career, and pro-bowler (!!!!) Ahman Green has been running like he is 48 years old.

It has been a wonderful life for Pats' fans because the Super Bowl wins have been very gratifying, but most that I talk to haven't thrown around the "d" word yet. Especially the ones who are Celtics' fans.
They're also much more worried that I just got called for a tryout at cornerback. Can anyone tell me what "cover 2" is?

McNair is done for the year. Volek has been fine - productive from a yardage standpoint, and Drew Bennett has been seeing more action than Paris Hilton since Volek came in. Tennessee's big problem is their secondary, and their coach who is calling a trick play every third chance he gets for some reason. Let's hope Fisher takes his job a little more seriously with several other teams' playoff hopes on the line.

Here's a quick look at why that argument really doesn't hold any water.
There are 13 teams in the NFL who have a record above .500. This is simply the number of teams that each has played (through 14 games) that was also above .500.
Jacksonville 8
Baltimore, Buffalo, Indy, NE, NYJ 6
Pitt, S.D. 5
Denver, Green Bay, Minny, Philly 4
Atlanta 2
If you're going to say Buffalo has played a weak schedule, then everyone has played a weak schedule (except maybe for the Jags and Indy, who finish with 2 +.500 teams).

Actually it had a LOT more to do than you care to admit.
No. It has absolutely, positively nothing to do with anything said either in this thread or that I have ever said on the site. That's called making a strawman argument. It's something you excel at - when you can't find an argument that has intellectual merit, start blaming referees, conspiracy theories with the league, irrelevant other events, etc. It's as if your endgame is to ultimately prove Paul Taglibue is Vince McMahon in disguise. It's such a tiresome act.
You'll find no place in the thread, or even on the site where I said that Tom Brady was my choice for MVP in Super Bowl 36. Ty Law would have been my choice.
You're either having an argument with a different poster, or with a voice in your head, or you're being contentious for the sake of being contentious. Since it's highly likely that it is door #3, let's try to show some class in the future and stay away from that nonsense, OK?

Houston is certainly coming up big for you guys. They're in position to put that game away.
