Can't wait.....To hear the excuses skip Bayless makes

[GOCOLTS_ROLLTIDE]

Also we gave him an excuse for the redskins loss next week. ... "Peyton is going to be angry" lol

[coming on strong]

[NewEra]

Skip brainless is a joke. Most of the media outlets for that matter

You people are wrong...Luck had his back to the defender when he hit him with his 350# Gut.

Luck would not stoop so low as to flop.

Just thinking the same thing. How would Luck known who it was. His back was towards the defender. Could have been a lineman for all he knew.

There is a clip where Luck is mic'd and he readily admitted to a ref that he was trying to get a call out of him. I don't remember what the circumstances were and I'll have to find it, but he's not above trying to get calls made in his favor.

[Poster X]

Yeah but it's funny when Stephen A. Smith is berating him for being wrong.

Smith is just as wrong, but with the opposing argument.

[chrisfarley]

does anyone know what Skip has to say this morning?  very interested in what excuses he is making for the Peyonator.

Here You go:

 

Kevin Bowen ‏@KBowenColts

Peyton Manning was 29-of-49 (59.2%) last night, his worst % since joining Denver. Manning's 20 incompletions were the most since 2010-Week 8

[amfootball]

He has tweeted the following:

"Peyton hurt last night? Pats robbed by spirit of rule? Cowboys running away with division? About to UNLEASH. 10am E, ESPN2."

[oldunclemark]

apparently,,Skip has a lot of excuses..

He really doenst like Luck much, does he?.

Nope, he's an RG3 fanboy

He just loves RG3 so much it hurts sometimes. Luck is a threat to RG3 being considered the best of that rookie class. Skip doesn't like that.

[Valpo2004]

Luck sold that flop in a way any soccer player would be proud, but as a defender you should never ever give him a chance. A oscar worthy performance.

 

It should be noted that soccer is Luck's second sport.  

 

Most soccer fans hate the flopping in soccer these days but it happens in the NBA too so it's sort of a part of many sports now.  Some teams are better at it then others.

 

But Luck did sell that really well, and you are right, it's really dumb to chest bump the guy from behind like that.  

[rittdk01]

I think Luck did flail a little on that stomach bump, though.  But... you do have to work the refs on occasion.

???????? He was blindsided and fell down.  He had no time to fake falling down off the dummies chest bump.

I am a little hazy on this since its been a couple of years, but as I recall right before the draft with Luck, RGIII, Wilson, etc., Bayless said he thought the best of all of the young QBs was not Luck or RGIII, but was in fact....Weeden. Since Weeden has flamed out already he has been beating the RGIII drum. The guy is a joke as an analyst, but then again ESPN in general is all about stirring the pot and rarely about meaningful insight.

Yeah just ignore the crazy picks like Weeden. He just does that so if he gets lucky he can brag about what genius he is.

In fact. You could just ignore him all together lol.

Manning bulldozed us in the fourth quarter...and we had absolutely done a terrific job of holding him off for the first half. As we watched this game I told my wife that it would be CRITICAL for the Colts to capitalize off the turnovers and score TD's....and that's what they did and THAT was the difference in the game...

 

But Manning was impressive just as he has been all year long, this game TUGGED my heartstrings during the tribute and right up until opening kickoff...but once it was kickoff it was COLTS GO COLTS!!!

[matt986]

Totally agree.  You need to know it's coming to be able to flop.  This was a blindside hit.

 

[Happy2BeHere]

99 of the Broncos is a horrible person and has no sportsmanship.

I'm not saying he faked the fall at all. I'm just saying I think he flailed a little on the way down. I'm only offering my opinion, not a fact. I could be dead wrong and I'm perfectly okay with that.

Luck was reaching up, probably to undo his chinstrap, when the jerk hit him.  Next thing he knows he's doing a face plant.  Not really surprising that his arms flailed.

 

And let's not forget that Vickerson is the same upstanding player that may have cost another Colt a season ending injury:

You're right, I'm wrong. I apologize.

I didn't really think he bulldozed the Colts in the 4th. I thought they got a bogus PI call, a couple amazing catches by Butterfingers Welker, and Trent Richardson fumble.

With threads like this, Skip Bayless keeps on winning and laughing maniacally in his evil lair in Bristol.
