Surprised but I didn’t see a thread. KC is delivering a rather severe assbeating on Indy right now. Saturday KC @ IND NO @ PHI Sunday SD @ CIN SF @ GB ---

Yup, even with Charles knocked out of the game on the first drive, it’s been all KC in the first half. ---

Crap! Colts are trying to make it interesting. Come on Chiefs! ---

Smith misses a wide open TD pass. ---

Luck by name, luck by nature I guess. 3 point game now ---

I’m guessing this is already the highest scoring playoff game ever? Edit: Aha, not yet. Ari 51/GB 45 in 2009. ---

Nonexistent defenses. Last team with the ball wins. ---

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > I’m guessing this is already the highest scoring playoff game ever? Not yet, there was a higher scoring one a few years ago, the Cards and Packers, 96 points. This is the craziest comeback I think I’ve ever seen though. ---

Wow. I go away for the game for about an hour to catch up on my Community and Soup when it was 38-10, turn the game back on, and now the Colts are up by one. Apparently, I missed some football… ---

How does KC lose that game? How do they burn a time out there? Looks like the 49ers know what their draft pick will be. ---

Oof. Gotta hurt to be a Chiefs fan. ---

Wow. Completely different game in the 2nd half. Chiefs devastated by injuries, Colts take advantage in an epic comeback. Lousy defense all around, but exciting football to watch. I’ll take it. Saints-Eagles up next. **GEAUX SAINTS!** ---

As a Broncos fan, I have to feel really sorry for the Chiefs. I didn’t think they’d win, but to lose a game like that has to hurt. ---

Darn. My heart likes Chip Kelly and hates the damn Saints, but my head needs the Saints to win to have them go to Seattle and not my 49ers. Ties aren’t an option in the playoffs, right? ---

The Colts have been falling behind all year and coming back. Most people considered that a sign of weakness, myself included, but at least they were prepared for this type of game. Clearly this is the theme for the Colts this year, Cardiac Colts. I don’t have a dog in this fight, but I was casually rooting for the Chiefs since they’ve been out of it so long and have some great players who deserve it, but I also have a lot of friends who are Colts fans and were at the game, so I’m happy with thee outcome. Based on the texts I’m getting back, sounds like it’s going to be a awesome night in Indy. ---

Lemme get this straight. Pedestrian offenses Kansas City and Indianapolis combine for almost 90 points and a record for combined offensive yards in a playoff game, while the vaunted and unstoppable Saints and breakneck Eagles togther lay first quarter duds. nice primetime sceond-half-of-a-doubleheader there, guys. Pick it up! ---
