Just inspecting the Colts, their team is hurting. Its much more than just Saturday.

Harrison has gone over the hill. In his prime, he WAS a threat. Now he is a shadow of that. The losses on the Offensive line are adding up. The mighty Offense is disappearing. That destroys their Defense too.

Their Defense is predicated on playing with a three TD lead. Then they can play the pass and ignore the run. Freeney and Mathis are a joke as pass-rushers. As soon as Freeney lost even a partial step, his game is gone. His whirling dervish move, guarantees that he takes himself out, and he can't defend the run.

Mathis never had one, except as an, ignore-the-run, pass rusher only effective with a three TD lead. Who else plays 225 pound Defensive Ends? They have a rookie MLB, and a couple of still learning sophomore undersized LBs too.

Brilliant analysis of the Colts, dead on accurate in every way.

"Still the Colts as a whole, are younger and healthier than the patriots"

Clarke is hurt, Saturday is out, the jury is still out on Manning's knee and Adai absolutely got his bell rung.

Brady is out for the year and..........................? Don't get your point.

How about this; the Patriots are 1-0 and the Colts are 0-1.

Keep the brilliant "they were just rusty" and "we're younger and healthier than the Patriots" statements coming though.

If there's one thing I try to remember after opening day in the NFL its this:

No team is as good, or as bad as they are on opening day.

Translated to yesterday....

Colts are not as bad as they looked last night

Bears are not as good as they looked last night

But most of all

The Jets are not as good as the media is making them out to be.

But the as the night continued on and the Colts kept screwing up the refs gave up on saving them...
Sounds like we DO need that thread ...

The one thing that stands out is Peyton is too hurt to run that stretch play which is really the base play of their offense.

That play is so tough to defend because they run play action off it so often you can't attack the running back allowing him to gain a lot more yards. Running a toss takes away the play action threat and will not have the same success.

Okay the Colts had a stinker last night. I know it and it was horrible to watch. It reminded me of those games in 2006 where we got run over by the Texans, Titans and Jaguars and tackled badly and showed no intensity anywhere. We almost deserved to get slapped around and lose.

Manning was rusty but I expected the defense to come up big for us.Freeney looked good to me but nobody else did.I don't put much blame on Manning and the o line considering what they have been through lately. And Marvin looked okay to me I am not sure what some are saying. Someone knocked the ball out of hands, this new trend with him has to stop with game changing fumbles. Wayne and Gonzalez need to be sharper too.


Time to move on from this game. On the brightside we won't be peaking early this year.


Dungy said watching the game over yes it was that bad so they have a lot of work to do. The Bears kicked our asses and were simply a better team yesterday everywhere. No excuses. I will be patient with this team. They have work to do.

Bears kicked our butts and they were obviously more motivated and wanted it more. We need to get the urgency back, hopefully we get it now.

As for the Patriots we don't play you guys for some time and without Brady I am not feeling the excitement.

Thats a good point. We need to get that back. Hopefully soon.......

Manning only got sacked once last night but at times it looked like there was too much pressure on him and you could tell he was being cautious at times and not comfortable.

And whenever he did get into a groove something killed his momentum it seems.
