Quick Recap: Colts 31-Ravens 3

by Brad Wells on Oct 12, 2008 3:59 PM EDT in Game Recaps

Dear NFL "experts,"

You thought the Colts were done. You thought the Colts were finished. You thought Marvin Harrison was old, Peyton Manning hobbled, and the Colts defense befuddled. A 31-3 ass whopping later, we see Marvin is Marvin (2 TDs), Peyton is still the best QB in football (3 TDs, no TOs), and the Colts defense can stop the run (51 total rushing yards allowed).

In short, you were wrong about the Colts. Again. Please keep it up. We Colts fans look forward to making you folks look stupid on a weekly basis.

Go Indianapolis Colts!

-Sincerely,

The crew at Stampede Blue

P.S.- Despite the final score, Baltimore has some great young players to build their franchise around. Joe Flacco has what it takes to win in this league. Don't let the TOs skew things. This team will be in the hunt in their division this season despite the youth on offense, and John Harbaugh is a solid young coach. They just ran into a buzzsaw in Indy. Also, to those that complained about Tim Jennings starting today: 8 tackles, 1 FF, and 1 INT.

I'm not saying that Eli is...

Cuze he’s not, but Eli is a great youngish QB who is tearing it up this year coming off his Super Bowl win. He’s like our adopted little brother.

That, my friends, was Colts Football!
Thank you very much!

Not sure if anybody noticed...

But Charlie Johnson played exceptionally well. Run blocking for Rhodes was usually great, and the only time I saw a Ravens player come around the left side was when Robinson was matched up with Suggs. Surprisingly, Diem played good too, as the only pressure for the day usually came up the middle. However, Johnson’s performance made me wonder if the Colts might consider moving Ugoh to RT in the near future. I know, one game does not a LT make, but it was still a very impressive performance against one of the best pass rushing teams in the league.

CJ and Diem is next on my list of things to watch on the tape

I’m through the 1st quarter on Sessions and Clark.

They got it done

and made it look easy. My Ravens were once again dominated and embarassed by your Colts. We have a long ways to go to be cometitive with the big boys. You guys are right back in there with the elite of the conference and now set your aim on the Titans, whom you guys should be able to take care of if you play like this. Wow!

Preseason

Once Peyton got his 4 preseason games out the way i knew he would come up big. preseason matters for peyton.

I hope they can keep this up!

This was a watchable game, I guess that is why it wasn’t on in my area. Figures. If they can play like this against green bay I will be convinced they are back. I sure hope they do.

Definitely ran into a buzzsaw today and I agree, they do have some things to feel positive about. But theyre NOT going to be in contention for the division this year. Theyre already 3 out and I dont think they’ll get closer than that. Good win for Indy though. Looking forward to our game later this year.
