NFL: Can The Colts Beat The Chiefs Again?

Here we go! The NFL Wildcard games kick-off with the Kansas City Chiefs (11-5) traveling to face the Indianapolis Colts (11-5) for the only game indoors on this frigid weekend. The Chiefs will be looking for revenge from a home loss to the Colts, while the Colts will be looking to use their last postseason loss as motivation.
No two franchises have made a turnaround like Indianapolis and Kansas City in recent history. One seasons ago, the Colts followed finishing last with a first round pick and new coach that led them to the playoffs the next year. The Chiefs did the exact same thing this year. That my friends is called parody in the NFL.

Nobody should be this big and powerful, yet still quick and explosive. JJ Watt can beat any Offensive Lineman in the league and even throws his hands up and swats an uncountable amount of passes. There's no scheming around JJ Watt. He will dominate no matter what.
2. Von Miller, Denver Broncos
Speed is the name of the game for this pass rushing technician. Miller has a wide assortment of moves that can make any opposing Lineman look like fools. While he is incredibly quick and explosive, he won't get rag-dolled around. He sports enough strength to stay up and fight to reach the QB.
Sources: Colts GM tells Luck he will be #1 pick
Colts GM Ryan Grigson addressed the media yesterday telling the world that indeed Andrew Luck will be the first pick in this years upcoming draft. This will be Grigson's first big move after the departure of Peyton Manning and will be his career defining move also.This will now allow the Redskins to begin contract negotiations Robert Griffin III. The goal for both teams is to have something in place quickly so they can start OTAs and marketing to the fan base for the new season.
Robert Griffin III declares for the NFL draft; Should he be the #1 pick? Yes
The Colts have sole possession of the #1 pick in the upcoming draft. They face a big dilemma at the QB position as well all know.Most experts seem to contend that Andrew Luck is the #1 pick. Reports started to surface last week that the Colts have already made the decision to draft Luck. Many point to the firing of Bill Polian, longtime architect of the Manning teams, and hiring of ex-Eagles Director of Personnel Ryan Grigson to clear the path to end the Peyton era.
Must I remind NFL fans that draft rumors are a bigger smoke screen than any magic trick in Vegas. Teams use the media to sway teams into panic trades to move up the draft board.
No matter who gets the pick, why is Andrew Luck a lock for #1? Sure he is great passer with excellent mechanics and a pro arm, but Griffin is the better pure athlete. After all, Griffin was awarded the best player in college football this season with the Heisman trophy. That means the best of any position.
Of all the QBs taken in the last two draft classes, only one is in the playoffs; Tim Tebow. Tebow was not the lock #1 pick either. Sam Bradford coming off an injury was selected by the St. Louis Rams #1 in 2010.
Tebow, like Griffin, won a Heisman award. Tebow like Griffin was a dual-threat QB. One could argue that last year's #1 pick Cam Newton belongs in the same class. Defenses in the new NFL are faster and blitz more now than ever. The QB position has become a hybrid position for pure athletes like Robert Griffin III. Luck took the opportunity during his bowl game to show off his running ability. He knows that QBs are having success earlier if they become dual threats.
GMs with a shot at either QB need to realize that you can't surround a pocket passer with enough talent through the draft in one year to make him a success. Use Sam Bradford as an example. Pocket passers need great offensive lines and talent at the skill positions. Most teams drafting in the top 10 don't have that. Unless they would not be in the top 10.
Auburn's Nick Fairley the real winner from BCS Championship Game
The big winner from last night's BCS Championship may have been Auburn DL Nick Fairley. After an impressive performance against the high powered Oregon offense, Fairley may have solidified the #1 pick in the upcoming NFL draft. A big performance in last year's Big 12 Championship catapulted Ndamakong Suh to the #2 pick after Sam Bradford. The 2-14 Carolina Panthers have the first pick in the upcoming. They just hired San Diego defensive coordinator Ron Rivera as the new head coach. If Andrew Luck does stay at Stanford, no doubt the new coach will be looking to improve the defense.
