Colts - Bengals could be awful, or great

It's all or nothing.

Cincinnati looking like playoff Cincinnati so far.  That is not a good thing.

The Bengals have been notoriously bad in the playoffs, even when they've looked good in the regular season. Andy Dalton doesn't seem to be playoff capable.

On the other side, outside of Andrew Luck and T Y Hilton, the Colts roster shouldn't scare anyone (Ryan Grigson is a pretty poor GM, in my opinion). Their OL was lousy even they were healthy, and right now they're banged up.

So this game could wind up being a total clunker, or it could be one of those weird games where two iffy teams produce a classic.

Careful what you say there....it's well known around here that Luck has top 5 talent in the league surrounding him.

Took the Bengals in my office pool but dont really care who wins other than that. Hoping for that classic game you mentioned.

-Dead Sea Scroll was discovered

-Jeffrey Dahmer is arrested

-Former U.S. postal worker Joseph Harris kills four at the post office in Ridgewood, New Jersey which resulted in the phrase "going postal"

That was the Colts’ first opening-drive TD this season; they

were the only team without one in the regular season

I hear that excuse a lot around here

The Trent Richardson trade alone should have been enough to send Grigson packing, but in reality it's just one of many bad decisions.

I'm amazed he still has that job. I think it's pretty clear he's not very good at it.

That is amazing, you would think they would have had one by accident at some point.  Their staff must be really bad at putting an opening script together.

That is hard to believe. Interesting.

Wow, you can see how Luck threw the ball differently on that throw to make sure it goes over and into Hilton's hands.
