Vanden Bosch out
all the Charlie Johnson vs Vanden Bosch related nightmares were for nothing

144 yards per game
6.5 yards per carry
08 TDs per game > 06 GPA
First piece of good news
I really think we will be fine tonight. The Colts always play well when they aren’t supposed to win.
And we still have #18. This ain’t Tyler Thigpen or Joe Flacco or Gus Frerotte (1/2 the QBs the Titans have faced this season).
Colts inactives
S Bob Sanders, CB Kelvin Hayden, RB Joseph Addai, LB Buster Davies, G Daniel Federkeil, WR Roy Hall, TE Jacob Tamme, DE Marcus Howard.

Tom Santi was out in pregame doing long snaps with Snow
I guess Dungy watched the steelers game yesterday. lol
I love it when division rivals go at each other. Should be a good one

Case in point
I hate ESPN. Last year it was the Pats, and right now, its the Titans. ESPN is only capable of respecting one team, and disregards the rest. It’s going to be a bunch of Titan worshipping tonight.

Some blog actually counted
That Kornheiser mentioned Tom Brady almost twice as much as Cassel in the Patriots/Broncos game. I love PTI, but Tony’s worthless on MNF.

Evening Fans
I hope we’re all strapped in tight for one hell of a ride!?
Good luck, fellas.
I hate you guys, but it’s righteous hate, if you know what I mean.
I flat do not like the Titans.
Except for LenDale White. Anyone who scores 90 yard touchdowns with a belly that jiggles like mine is going to have my affection.
As Mr. Sloan always says, there is no "I" in team, but there is an "I" in pie. And there's an "I" in meat pie. Anagram of meat is team... I don't know what he's talking about. --Shaun of the Dead

Kornheiser drinking game
If he mentions Vince Young (who will likely not play tonight, hence not warrant any mention, which means Kronhead willl indeed mention him), take a shot.

Everyone and their brother are picking the Titans
Up front on both sides of the ball, its a mismatch, so I’ll take the Titans as well.
In Romo we Trust
Quick Thoughts
I’ve got the SBN Fantasy Basketball Draft tonight, so I probably won’t be commenting a lot tonight, but fear not, I’ll be watching.
Here’s what I’m going to be watching for tonight:
- Effort: If the Colts want any shot at winning the division, they have to win tonight. Will they play like a team that needs to win tonight.
- Special teams: They’ve been solid so far this season, but they better keep that intensity up tonight. If this is a defensive struggle, one mishap could ruin an otherwise great game.
- 1st down: If the Colts want to get off the field on defense, they have to limit the Titans on 1st down. When the Colts let team get into 3rd and manageable, the Cover 2 breaks down.

About the only time we have it
I’d be amazed if we can run AT ALL, and that eliminates the usefulness of the deep ball.

Poor guy got cut by the Lions. If you can’t make the LIONS as a linebacker, you should take up a different profession.
And to think, that guy started for us. Yikes!

Just missed
Good play, just a little underthrown.
He found the mismatch though. And he got protection. Optimistic

LenDale has never ran well against us
Which is why we saw Johnson the entire opening drive.
Hopefully we see more of the large one.
Run stop for a loss!
