Colts Look Flat Again!

Well, the favored Indianapolis Colts went in to San Diego and fell flat on their playoff face again. Tonight's loss marks the 6th time that a Tony Dungy led team has lost their first game of the playoffs. Tony has led his teams to the playoffs 11 times in his career, so that means that 55% of the time his teams have failed to advance past their first playoff game.

The guy is great at evaluating talent, and he wins a lot of games in the regular season. But, he does not excel when it comes playoff time. Tony Dungy's postseason record now stands at 9-10.
