Although not necessarily huge swings, I'm not sure I've ever seen so many swings in an NFL game without some serious injury situation. I was at the Steelers-Dolphins game Monday and was so underwhelmed with the home team I logged onto the sports book and kept betting the Colts at -1. Turns out I was hasty to my detriment as the next day the line had swung to Colts +1. It swung back later in the week to as much as Colts -1.5 and now, less than an hour to game time I'm seeing Steelers -1, this after Steelers have scratched starting RB Conner and OL Foster. Strange.

Talk about giving a game away. Indy deserved to lose that game for sheer stupidity and lack of discipline.

Scoring more certainly would've helped but they probably scored enough - if they hadn't been so generous to the Steelers. A local sports talk guy this morning said "I can't believe they won that game." That was my reaction, too.
Reich is supposed to be one of the best coaches in the league but he seemed to take a page from the Pitt head coaches' playbook when he had a 3 and 1 at the 21 with under 2:00 to go. He opted to run right up the middle, content that doing so would force the Steelers to use their last timeout. I suppose there was a slight chance to actually make the first down, but not much of one, and predictably they lost three yards. Meanwhile, you probably have the worst FG kicker in the league who could use getting the ball closer. Additionally, even if he makes it the Steelers get the ball back with more than a minute and only needing a FG to beat you, with a kicker with much better range that Vinateri. Add in a Colt player hitting a Steeler ball carrier as time was expiring in the first half. Three Colts players wrapped the Steeler player up to prevent him from getting out of bounds and the idiot flies in with his helmet. Fifteen yards and an extra play which was a free FG attempt that never should've happened and Boswell hit it. Just idiocy and stupidity.
