Quick Recap: Packers 34- Colts14

… yet nothing went quite wrong other than peyton’s two picks being returned for TD’s.. And one was really reggie’s fault, and I can’t really blame him for pressing at the end, when we still had a faint chance of getting back in.

ON D we really only gave up 20 points… About what we need our D to do.. Special teams wasn’t bad except for the bizarre call on Jennings – vinateri was booming kick offs for touchbacks we weren’t giving up big yards…

The refs were in this game WAY too much with some pretty lame penalties that kept drives alive for green bay.. I saw more of ron winters than green bay’s running back… And what was with the stupid challenges at the end to prolong the agony.

Offense, we need to get the run going

on Defense, they need to revert back to the form they had against Baltimore and find a way to say consistent.

From what I saw it GB never got a whole lot of pressure on Manning from its front four..it seemed as though what it came down to is GB secondary shut down our O.

When was the last time the Colts WR we shut down like this? Playoffs vs Pats circa 2004?

One positive, is that Rhodes did a great overall job and was really the only player who showed up the whole game.

…the ‘I Hate Time Jennings’ bandwagon

The Colts next opponent ran for over 300 yards so Dungy and his D better correct their mental errors that highschool players make and play their so called Colts football that they always imply

I don’t like to complain about the referees, but there were some horrible calls for both teams. I thought they were very nitpicky in the beginning of the game and then it seemed like they weren’t calling the blatant PIs at the end. Also, can someone tell me what the hell was the penalty that turned a Packers punt into a 1st down (I go outside for one moment…)?

Of course, the two pick-sixes altered the game, but there were other issues I had. The Colts had a pretty good rhythm going on their second possession and they punt on 4th and 1 from around mid-field. Personally I think they should have gone for it. Especially since it was obvious that Green Bay’s game plan was to keep the ball out of Peyton Manning’s hands (the attempted onside kick early on).

Another thing that bothered me was the lack of challenges by Dungy. On the play before Green Bay’s 4th and 1, the ball touched the ground. There’s no way the receiver caught that cleanly. The Colts even called a time out, but no challenge. Without that play it would have been 4th and 6 or 7 (I think). No way Green Bay goes for it in that case. Another missed challenge was a play that was called incomplete by the referees, but Reggie Wayne had that ball cradled in his wrist.

The Tennessee game is now must-win in so many ways…Go Blue!

fly back to dfw tomorrow…. wow we looked awful and we had so many stupid penalties… im going to bed
