NFL Playoffs

And that overturn of Polamalu's INT was garbage. He had that ball.

I'm interested to hear more indepth explanation from the NFL as to how the call could possibly have been over-turned. The only thing I can think of is that there is some obscure rule, like the tuck rule, becaues Polamalu clearly had possession, rolled over, and was getting up when he fumbled.

The curious thing about the Ref's explanation was he said something to the effect of "the receiver lost possession of the ball before his knee was up off of the turf, making the pass incomplete." The wording of that explanation was odd...made me think there's one of those quirky NFL rules that rarely comes into play which was involved in that over-turn.

Otherwise, I'd have to question the competency of that referree...if not for a potential quirky rule, the game should've been over at that point.

I gotta think the ref had some bills on the game. They gotta pay these guys as full time employees. Even though the Colts lost, do you think he's clean with the bookies?

 In case anyone didnt watch him,  Corey Simon was a complete waste against Pitt.

He's definitely going to get that fat contract he was hoping for.

But Corey was the anchor of that line! Everything that defense did was all because of Corey!

They paid him $40M to be a run stuffer despite the fact that his game was being a disruptive force as a DT. He is Sam Adams Light nowadays. But he makes a ton of cash unlike Sam.

C'mon Phreak, there ain't nothing light about Corey Simon.  Except maybe his attitude towards off-season conditioning.

He played less than half of the defensive snaps.

How could we?  Was he out there?

I did see him once.  On the sideline.  I think he had a hot dog.

still trying to justify the corey simon thing, i see.

people...it's over!  the eagles d-line absolutely blew this year.

Like the addition of Corey Simon would of brought hell on opposing offenses and solidified our super bowl chances.  eat shtein buddy.

There are a bunch of good laughs to be had from this article.

"I'm trying to be a good teammate here ... so I'm going to let Tee Martin start for me in the playoffs from now on."

Ha, exactly. When they announced the starting lineups during the game they said Corey Simon was a NOSE TACKLE for them? Wow.

Simon used to come into camp out of shape then work himself to Pro Bowl form by the end of the season, this year was different. He looked really bad this season.

Guy who ranks #1 on my top FA wish list is Rocky Bernard.

What I found interesting was that when the Steelers were running it down the Colts' throats in the 4th, Cory was on the sideline--nwo WHY WOULD YOU HAVE YOUR RUN STUFFER ON THE SIDELINE?

[MadMarchHare]

9. Next week will be the first time in five years that the conference championship round will be Eagles and Patriots-free. Which is a shame, really. I never felt as though we got to hear enough about those two teams. They kind of flew under the radar a bit on us, didn't they? But as disastrous as Philadelphia's season was this year, it must be nice for the Eagles to experience the month of January without being weighed down with an overwhelming sense of impending doom.

Unfortunately, this one's true.

It sure did. And you know what? It would've blown ass with or without Corey Simon. Indy has a $40M nose tackle who only plays about half of the snaps.
