I mean, I know those guys have problems with the run, but come on!

To there defense, 19 came from Vince young, but that is still over 60 by runningbacks.

The bad news is that Manning is getting more and more experience at clutch play.

From the Star:

Do you realize, the Colts were so dominant last year, they didn't have to score on a game-ending 2-minute drill until they faced that situation against Pittsburgh in the playoffs?

I don't care how many thousands of times you practice that thing on Thursday afternoon, you don't want your first real-game action to come in the biggest game of the year.

I'm going to go out on a limb and I will bet you that their defense gives up less yards than nearly every defense this coming weekend.

You guys are on a bye week too, huh?

While you're here, what's with Reggie Wayne? I am not getting good return for my fantasy investment in him.

Ya, I guess I'm busted.

Reggie has been a yard or two short several times this season from getting in. I think it will even out soon. Heck with that rushing defense that the Colts keep putting out there, Peyton is really going have to start putting some numbers on the board and Reggie should benefit from it. Though he did have one go right through his hands at about the two that would have been a TD but ended up being a pick.

Thanks. Fantasy presents strange emotional conflicts. What do I care (usually) if Reggie Wayne's not scoring. Nothing. I am pleased to see it. But this year I find myself hoping Peyton's throwing the bombs his way.

I need a new fantasy strategy. Involving receivers from Arizona and other far-flung places tha have zero impact on the Patriots.

they could very well end up being 5-6 or 6-5 after their next six games. Every team brings a real good running game.

Washinton, Denver, NE, Buffalo, Dallas and Philly.

I hope the Colts fans enjoy their Bye week.

happy feet? check.
squints in snow? check.
panics/tunnel vision under a playoff-caliber rush? check.
believes in birthright to solid pass protection? check.
believes in birthright to have receivers wide open and in perfect spots? check.
looks for excuses when losing (bad calls, weather, coaching, protection)
inability to forget any detail of his past failures? check.

do not fear the fruitcake.
