5 drives, 5 TDS to start the game. Manning is shredding Cincy....

16/20 272 3 tds

Making another statement today.

Yeah- but they aren't tackling for shite. Cinnci should only have 13 points- but Indy keeps missing tackles and letting Cinnci pick up yards.

Cincy is hanging in there surprisingly. Great game.

Have to give it to the Cincy O-line.... Had their way with D. Freeney, and CO. all day long. They hung in ther quite well.

Man, our defense seems to be getting worse, instead of getting better/more experienced.
I sure wish that they wouldn't have played exactly (like I posted earlier) like I expected them to. FUCK!!! I'm reverting back to the old philosophy of: "all we need is to hold them one drive, if we can outscore them, and hold on only one defensive drive, then we've got a chance to pull out the W"....
Damn that's frustrating. How many freakin times did Dwight Freeney run right past the back today? Everyone has an off day, but DAMN!!!

I realize that Cincy is much improved, but shit...That D gave up every advantage they had gained (statisticly) through the first 9 games, in one afternoon. And now we've got Pittsburg next week.....OHH BOY.
This could be the thumping the team needs to bring them back to reality....they'll get RUN OVER by Pittsburg.

So where are the '72 Dolphins? I thought they would be at each game now a days hoping for a Colt loss.

If anything, they may want to show up at the San Diego game in a few weeks. That one is a pretty loasable game for the Colts.

The Colts D began going downhill once Dwight Freeney broke his foot. He used to beat double teams. Now he can't spin quite as well and the double teams are taking him completely out of every play. The fact that Josh Williams came back this week (I think) is a bad thing becasue he sucks and he's just taking playing time away from solid players like Reagor, Mathis, and Simon.

I think the word is out that Jason David is easy to pick on at CB. Doss and Sanders did a horrible job of helping out on the long passes.

Yes, the D didn't look that great. But, once I saw that one-play touchdown drive to Wayne on the second posession, I knew it was coming. As soon as he scored, I thought to myself, "That's great but the D hasn't had time to catch their breath yet. A nice 15 play, 9 minute drive would have been nice."

But at the same time, as the only undefeated team, the Colts are going to get the best out of everyone they play for the rest of the season, especially in their house. And they've played down to their opponent's level several times this year. A W is a W. Have to stay ahead of Denver for home field now.

I think they beat San Diego in Indy- but lose the trap game at Seattle the week after that. I see them going 14-2... possibly 13-3

I believe Jacksonville and Seattle will be the toughest games to come. The run defense is definitley going to have to step it up before they go up to Seattle on Christmas Eve. Jacksonville always plays them tough being a division rival.

Pittsburgh will be tough. But it's in the Dome and Roethlisberger (if he plays) will have three weeks worth of rust on him. That bodes well for the Colts.

I see 15-1 or 14-2.

I hope we do. I'm going to this game just to cheer them on!!!!
