After the Ravens forced a quick end to the Colts’ opening drive, Baltimore drove deep into Indianapolis territory, where Ray Rice fumbled and the Colts recovered. Marshal Yanda came out of the pile with the ball, so Ravens fans are already claiming that the refs are screwing them. Though Mike Carey did refer to the Colts as “Indiana” on the ruling, so no matter what, there was some officiating derpiness.
A methodical drive by the Colts then followed, but it was curtailed on the Ravens’ side of the field when Paul Kruger stripped Andrew Luck and Baltimore recovered. If only Bruce Arians were in good enough shape to save Luck with endless bubble screens.
Phil Simms compared Andrew Luck to Ben Roethlisberger at one point in the first quarter. While announcers tend to do this anytime a burly white quarterback is able to break tackles from pass rushers, the comparison works beyond that since Luck and Ben are both lumpy dudes who sound dumb and they both enjoy sitting back in the pocket a...

Baltimore halfback Ray Rice rushed for 70 yards and lost two fumbles Sunday against the Colts.Fantasy Spin:What's equally alarming is that Bernard Pierce saw almost as many carries as Rice did on Sunday (13 for Pierce, 15 for Rice). Could the Ravens be headed for a running back by committee system? Rice's fantasy owners better hope not.

We mercifully avoid Luck vs. Manning hype week, but the possibility of a Harbaugh Bowl still exists. Lesser of two evils, I’d argue for now. Oh, and the Ray Lewis farewell tour continues for at least one more week. Not that Ray Lewis and his bionic arm were a positive factor at all for Baltimore today. He dropped what would have been an interception lobbed to him and was a constant...

The Colts shocked the world this year, going from 2 wins to 11 wins and the 5 seed in the AFC. However, they haven’t been as good as their record. They enter the postseason at -30 in points differential (the worst ever by an 11+ win team). This because they have just 2 wins by more than a touchdown and 4 losses, including 3 losses by 20 or more.
They are 11-5 by virtue of their...

I actually disagree with a lot of this list. I would like to see the Colts win for Pagano, but seeing RG III matchup with Andrew Luck doesn’t really do anything for me. I’d much rather see Rodgers vs. Brady or something of the sort. We here at Unathletic are pulling for Pagano and the Colts.
