Hate to see plays end like that. Hard to pull up on a play like that. Almost looks like the second hit moved him into the helmet to helmet hit from the third player. Certainly didn't appear to be intentional.

Definitely not like the other helmet to helmet's we've seen.

[jaycarla]

Wasn't a malicious hit in any way, I don't even think it should have been flagged. Plus, I thought it was a completion. Regardless, not good.

[Resipsa]

Collie is sitting up in the
Locker room supposedly just a concussion which is good news

While I agree it wasn't as vicious as a hit as others we've seen lately, bottom line is the defender was leading with his helmet. If youre tivoing the game it's pretty easy to
See, and he actually dips his head right before he hits Collie in the head.

Said it before and I'll say it again. You can't have a helmet to helmet hit if you're not leading with your helmet. It has to get through to these guys that the helmet isn't to be used as a weapon before somebody winds up in a wheelchair

[jaycarla]

Tough game, but I don't feel too bad losing at Philly. Tamme is coming on, minus the drop on final drive, that hurt. James is finding the endzone which is good because Brown obviously has a sore vagina. 5 of first 8 on the road, ton of injuries and still tied for division lead.

I will take that at the half-way point. I do like Blair White getting some plating time. Collie will be out a few weeks I bet, but glad that he is ok for the most part.

This commentary brought to you by The Glass Half Full Project.

[Whee]

"Jane, you ignorant slut.":r

Tough stretch coming up. Patsies in two weeks then the Chargers the following week. Still have two against Tennessee, At least we have Cincy and Dallas to get healthy on.:D

[jaycarla]

Need D to step up here in the 4th. Going to be close.

[jaycarla]

It is spooky, I am like Carnac in here. I swear, I hit post and 5 seconds later Hagler gets the INT. Don't think it will be a pick 6, but inside the 15.

[jaycarla]

Another INT. Game over.

[jaycarla]

Oy.

[Resipsa]

Wow. Almost refs almost stole one from us on that onside kick. Garcon clearly had the ball and was down, don't know how they ****ed that up.

[jaycarla]

Hard to believe an onside kick can't be reviewed. Competition committee needs to look at that. I understand can't tell in a scrum who got ball, but if you can see player with ball and knee on ground, seems logical to review that part of it.

I don't know who made that call on 4th and 2 to try and draw them off, Manning or Caldwell, could have done without it. Cost 20+ seconds to do it. Bad. Can't give second chances like that with the injuries they have.

[Whee]

At least no one got hurt.

[Resipsa]

Wow. 5 penalties already on the Colts, one of the least penalized teams in the league. and......ZERO penalties on the Pats?

Come on, I am not one of those people who believes "the fix is in", but since we all know you can call a penalty on every single play if you want, when one team has all of the penalties........:confused:

[Whee]

Damn near...

[jaycarla]

Good game, glad to see some fight in the boys. Would have at least had OT, but what ya gonna do? 3 point loss in New England, move to the next week and know you let one maybe slip away.

No rest either. The 'Bolts are next, then a resurgent Cowboy team.

[Resipsa]

disappointing to say the least. Ah well.

I wish I had the stomach to read some of the news articles on this game today, almost seemed as if on each of those 3 ints Manning was expecting his receiver to be someplace else.

Still not happy with the play clock management. WTH does Manning have against using timeouts? It's like he wants to store them all up and save them, LOL

Well, that does explain why he was expecting the receiver to be elsewhere. Way to man up.

Not surprising because I've never bought that argument. Manning making one of his "faces" doesn't mean he's blaming somebody else, just that he's upset at the result of the play.

Still, this one's gonna smart a little for a while. Really thought he would pull it out.

And if Hagler doesn't drop that pick..........:sh

Good looking drive so far....

I am dying to hear from the ref why that pick by Weddle wasn't PI. I hate complaining about refs, but this one warrants a gripe.

I love a good Manning choke job.

You know the difference between Manning and Tiger? Manning's been able to keep his honeys on the down low.

[jaycarla]

Maybe next time we can get the Chargers in September.

I hate them. Of all the Charger losses, this one is the ugliest.

Yup...it's all coming out now.

Funny though, how all this predictability, weakness, etc. is only coming to light now that we are fighting through the injury plague. It's not like a big secret we can;t run the ball or Peyton will check off to the TE more often than not.

Not ready to jump off the ledge just yet...:D

No jumping for me either. They will win the division and host at least one game, I have no doubt. Just keep treading and stay in front until some people come back. Gotta beat the Pokes this week though.

I think it's more of "I can carry the team." And he has found out, he can't do it alone. He has taken more of a beating this year. Cris Collinsworth noted, and the NBC cameras were more than happy to show, Peyton is "uncomfortable" under pressure moreso than in the past.:D

[jaycarla]

This off season it is going to take more than a draft class to get things corrected. Indy will have to do more in free agency than previous years. With a potential lockout, I am not sure how that will affect the FA market.

Sucks that Collie got rung again, sensing early retirement for him. Too bad.

Manning looked sharp, O-line did a good job, DB had a great game. First 100yd rusher in 36 games. ouch.

Time to beat the Raidahs.

[Resipsa]

Was looking like a blowout until Collie got hurt. "Im not dead yet", lol
wonder how many teams would still be in it playing second and third team rbs, wr's and te's, not to mention missing 5 starters on defense Way to battle on dudes!

Nice to see Hamlin get picked up. Will be nice to maybe have a little lumber thrown around back there now and then.

This week now kind of means nothing, the game against Tenn. is the big one now, although it does give some breathing room.

Look at the blazing speed!:r

One more to go. Didn;t look too bad today. "D" played well, ran the ball repsectably.

[Resipsa]

I wanna git wit dem aliens.

[jaycarla]

Opening kickoff for TD to a naked-bootleg by Manning. Quite the swing.

O-line is coming together. Oakland has a good d line and they were opening lots o' holes.

[jaycarla]

9th year in a row of making playoffs is hopefully a few hours away.

Win and it looks like the Jets at home next week. Go Horseshoes!

The Texans couldn't keep Betty White out of the endzone.

Seattle makes it further than Indy in the playoffs. Saw that coming.

Sean you are right. Never want to lose in the playoffs, I am not a moron, but the boys did pretty good all things considered. I have never had to go online to research a player for Indy more than I have this year.

Someday I hope to live in a world when Indy can stop the run.

I was wondering why this hadn't received more attention. I wanted to kick Caldwell in the nuts. I have to say through two seasons I am not feeling good about his clock management skills. Maybe Folk still makes it from 51, who knows, but I will go to my grave clueless as to the reason he called it.

I'm not a ravens fan-I just recognize payaton as being a dbag and can't stand the colts. I just get tired of the "legend" status given to a qb as being great because they get a ring. Look no further than Trent Dilfer for proof of that. Manning is really good, but gets away with stuff the city just sweeps under the rug. He and tiger could really share notes.

Home:

Houston, Jacksonville and Tennessee of course. Carolina (yea!), Cleveland (yay!), Pittsburgh, Atlanta and Kansas City.

Those last three will be toughies at home.

Away:

Houston, Jacksonville and Tennessee
Baltimore, New Orleans, New England and Tampa Bay.

Ouch...

We better get our act together during the offseason, because that schedule is not an easy one.

I imagine tix will be cheap for the Carolina and Cleveland games if you guys really want to do a Colts Herf.

Had to cancel our NYC vacation so I may actually get to come to a game this year. I can tell you though it will not be for Carolina of Cleveland. My brother in law is a KC fan and lives in the midwest, I am thinking that may work.

I didn't go to the Seahawks game against the Saints mainly because I don't care a whole lot about them and also I didn't want to have to watch the Colts game that followed in Seattle. I will say it is a great place to watch a game, I don't think it has ever gotten to this point before though:

Sorry to see that Peyton is having medical issues. Hope that Collins can keep your team in the running. Rivalries suck when one side is missing a key player.:tu

Goooo Colts!

He'll be ready by November. Don't worry, buddy. :r

[taltos]

He'll be ready by November. Don't worry, buddy. :rI hope so, despite all the kidding, I do respect him.

[taltos]

I just heard a rumor that Peyton's forehead has been declared its own county in Indiana. Don't know if this is true or not.:D

Glad to see you're back to old self.:D

It's funny, because it's true.

[forgop]

Looking forward to the next Curtis Painter disaster. Be thankful for Pay-a-ton's "union first" belief for why he postponed the surgery for 3 months so Colts fans are in a panic of possibly relying on Painter in week 1. :r

[Whee]

I hear there's a funeral in Indy today.:r


Geesh

[taltos]

You guys might be able to get Hoyer for 2 firsts.:D

[forgop]

Payaton will be done for the year now.

Tickets will be cheap the rest of the season.:r

[forgop]

Colts fans can't get off the bandwagon fast enough right now.

[taltos]

You guys are in the running for the Luck sweepstakes although if I had my choice I would take Moore out of Boise State.:D

It's a rebuilding year!:r

[taltos]

I really wish that the cause of the rebuilding year was not an injury to Manning, too good of a player for stuff like this to happen to him.

[irratebass]

I still have faith, it's only been 2 games.

[forgop]

Funny part us the colts handed $20M to a guy that was still hurt. Idiots.

[forgop]

I still have faith, it's only been 2 games.


You have faith after getting spanked by Cleveland? Payaton won't be back this year and who knows if he ever returns.

[irratebass]

It can only get better right Duane?

[Whee]

I really wish that the cause of the rebuilding year was not an injury to Manning, too good of a player for stuff like this to happen to him.

Sadly, we do not have a Cassel.:rolleyes:

[Resipsa]

That mean you won't be dropping by anymore?

That's a shame....

[jaycarla]

Jesus Mary and Jo-Jo. I leave the site for a bit and the whole operation falls to chit! Sorry for the absence, will save the story.

Going to be a tough year, but I am not giving up. This talk about Luck sickens me. Too much talent on this team to even be having this talk. Superbowl contenders, no. Picking in top of draft is equally absurd.

The boys need to get their chit together. Pitty party is over. After two weeks? I could go on here forever, but am getting angry already. Man up.

If I come to Indy for the Chiefs game and they are 0-4 I will personally kick Caldwell in the Jimmy.

It stops now. 1-2 is a start. Sunday night, national tv, in our house, Steelers.

Just win baby.

Nice article in the Star for a change.

[taltos]

I wish Peyton the best of luck and my prayers that he truly does what is best for himself and his two beautiful children and wife. He has given us many great memories even as a Pats fan and I truly hope for the best for him. Paul:tu

[Resipsa]

Whatever happens tonight, they're showing heart so far, and that makes me smile.

[Whee]

Holy crap! It's a game boys!

[Whee]

Moral victories suck, but hopefully, they will learn that they can play ball with good teams without #18.

[taltos]

Moral victories suck, but hopefully, they will learn that they can play ball with good teams without #18.They played a tough game yesterday, too bad that there was no professional quarterback available since Pitt could have been defeated. You guys are much better than your record.:tu

[forgop]

You must be watching different games than everyone else.

[Resipsa]

Did you ever find that missing Blantons stopper?

Have you checked your butthole?

[Resipsa]

Thanks Paul, and I agree with your take. Numerous plays Wayne, Clark, Collie, Garçon were open and Collins just failed to get them the ball.

And when Painter came in and just completely missed an easy six on that overthrow to a wide open Garçon I nearly had a stroke.

This game at least it was the play at qb, or lack thereof, that cost them the game.

Things looked good, then not so much:confused:

I'm not a big fan of blaming the coaches, but when you're up by 17 and blow it, something went wrong with your game plan

Yup...Painter actually played pretty well. Clark needs to have his hands checked.

hey, I havent' lost the faith, but I'll put cold hard cash on the fact that some asshat shows up to crap on this thread again today.

Your comments are always in good fun, you're a good dude. For a patriots fan that is, ;):r:r

Dallas Clark puts the pizza paddles away for a drive. Nice grab!

Oy.

are you saying that the Patriots are footballs equivalent of an ugly fat girl at closing time?

Even if I'm here by myself, I'm here. Remember the Alamo,.......

[Whee]

:r:r

[forgop]

...and the Colts came so close tonight. :r

[jaycarla]

I blame Tressel.

[forgop]

I blame Tressel.

I blame Payaton, but then from what I hear, the Colts gave him a $90M deal without a physical. They deserve it.

[Resipsa]

I blame Tressel.

I'm still not sure I understand his role, :r:r

[Whee]

So, now what. The suck for luckers will have a hard time explaining how he will help keep us from giving up 62 freaking points!

Bill Cowher, anyone?

Guys I had to remove my Castrate the Colts avatar and replace it with my cat. After last night castrating the Colts would be reduntant. Hope that things get better folks so that my needling would be more fun on both sides.:tu

It's a good thing we don;t play on Sunday night aga.....http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t7/IllinoisHoosier/smilies/shaking_head.gif

[taltos]

Good luck today folks.:tu

[jaycarla]

Can I have a shot at Special Teams coach? Honestly, get a clue. I can't keep drinking this early this often.

[Resipsa]

Can I have a penalty on the Titans please? Seriously. One of the traditionally most penalized teams in the league, and not one penalty in the first half? pllease

[jaycarla]

Maybe Caldwell will set crossing mid-field as a goal at halftime. The more shots I see of Caldwell the more I want to punch him in the throat. I do believe I have reached my breaking point.

[jaycarla]

And to make things worse I also watch the Rams shut out the Saints in the first half after it takes New Orleans 3 quarters to get to 3rd down against Indy.

[Resipsa]

why doesnt' Caldwell take the shackles off Painter? When they open things up like they did in the second half, the offense actuaaly looks not half bad.

And for the love of God, stop putting Brown out there,LOL

[Whee]

Welp, this was the one I thought they'd win.

[forgop]

Welp, this was the one I thought they'd win.

Don't worry-Payaton will be back and save the season for you. ;)

[Resipsa]

Welp, this was the one I thought they'd win.

Yup. Oh well. You have things to celebrate anyway:banger

[Whee]

Yeah, my Hoosiers didn't lose this weekend. Of course, they didn't play.:r:r

[taltos]

Peyton has my vote for MVP. Amazing, the team loses a high forehead and the whole season goes down the tubes. Better luck next year.:r:r:r

[Resipsa]

Never say die! I'm still heeeereeeeeeeeer, lol

[taltos]

Vic, you are a true loyalist. I congratulate you and the Colts for apparently winning the Suck for Luck sweepstakes since Miami remembered how to win a football game. I might take Moore from Boise State instead but good luck to you guys.:D

I'm a fan, Paul, :banger what else can I do but stick by my team:)

[taltos]

I have been there during the bad decades. I know what you are saying. Hope that it gets better for you guys after next week.

[Whee]

Paul, tell the boys no need to score 60 points next week.:D

Been a rough year for sure, but I think we can bring the team back essentially intact for next season. With a good draft for a change, we should be back to our old selves.

Lots of free agency decisions to make, with a big $28 million one at the top of the list.

[taltos]

You mean that we can win if only scoring 55 points?:D

[jaycarla]

I could go on and on, but what is the point.

I have expected a win on a few occasions this year. I am expecting nothing from them on Sunday. Maybe that is the key.

The prospect of watching New England dismantle Indy is most unpleasant.

[Whee]

You mean that we can win if only scoring 55 points?:D

Lower <in my best Bob Barker voice>

[taltos]

I really hope that the game is not a slaughter. Boring to watch and games like that are when key players can get hurt. Things will improve when you get a real quarterback returned to you.:tu

[Starscream]

As a Panthers fan, I feel your pain this year. Carolina has sucked for a while now. I was scared for a minute that you guys were about to get your first win of the season from us.

[Resipsa]

You mean that we can win if only scoring 55 points?:D

YOur problem isn't scoring points, its how many you let the other guys score, :sl:r

Maybe we can put up 56 on the last ranked D in the NFL:gary:D
