Colts' Harrison out of game...

[paragon11]

Even with all of those injuries, they seemed to make it look easy against the Broncos. I agree that most of those guys injured will be back next week. Plus, I believe they have a bye in Week 6, which gives them some more time to heal up.

If Harrison really has a bruised knee, he won't be out long. It's amazing how few games that guy has missed over the years. In fact, the whole Colts offense seems to suffer very few injuries at the skill positions.

That may be true of Harrison, but it's really not true of the Colts as a whole. Everyone thinks about only Harrison and Manning when they say that, but but they've had severe injuries to several other players throughout.

Colts fans don't know what injuries are. They have a couple and think, "Oh, my GOd, like this is awful."

When you have 42 different starters in one season, come back and talk to us.

Until then, stop crying about a few injuries, almost none of which are ending up on IR.

Again, Colts have dealt with/are dealing with large numbers of injuries, just like the Pats. It's way too convenient an excuse and just doesn't stand up if you look at the facts.

The Colts were without their slot WR Stokely for almost all season and Clark missed four games in 2006.

The Colts are not immune to injury. Far from it.

Dungy preaches that every player on the 53 man roster must prepare like they will receive significant action on the field. Thus, the Colts are able to withstand injury relatively well.

They way Harrison fell, it looked like he had be shot. He was falling down before he got hit. The hit couldn't have helped the situation.

This link gives a more historical view of Pats' fans memories of injury.

Looks like Manning and Brady's environments are about to reverse this year, with Brady and his weapons, and with Manning having to carry the offense with less help.

Peyton played most of the game without Marvin, still did pretty good. 20-27, 193 yards, 3 td's.

Re: Colts Harrison Out Of Game...

Harrison is a good reciever. I can't say I'm happy he's hurt, but I want to see Manning try to succeed without Harrison.

I will also go on record now saying that Addai will not last the season. He's been taking a pounding this year.

Aaaarrgghh, don't say that.

Kenton Keith got 80 yards on 10 carries spelling Joe so, we have a capable backup at least.
