Half could've been better
But we’re leading. Now we just have to hold it. Manning has looked really good, but we need to get a more effective run game to set up that deep play-action pass.
Also, Tyjuan Hagler has looked solid IMO so far. Good to see him back. Any news on Lilja? Is he good to go but just benched or is he still hurt?

Lilja still isn't practicing

IR him then
our offensive line is doing decently without him and we could use the roster spot.. We don’t need to keep playing musical chairs with our 0-line

he's still PUP this week
but they’ll have to IR or put him on the roster next week

I disagree
With the injuries, you need all the depth you can get. If he’s healthy, he’s better than the other backups.

Dang
Although Johnson and Pollak haven’t been bad, I think Lilja is a better run blocker than they are.

yeah but
Constantly switching around isn’t good either… Let them develop into a unit…

please stop the pats
Please let’s have a quick stop at the start of the second half.
And what was up with the referees at the end of the first half? The more I see the more I think these guys are incompetent…

Good game so far

I still don't get that call.
There was 19 seconds left when the ball was snapped. A 10 second run-off would have still left 9 seconds. I don’t get it.
The time really ran off
The clock operator stopped it, but the clock didn’t really stop, and the refs keeping the time claimed there was 10 or less left.

They didn't start the clock when Marv was downed in bounds
I can buy that it took 9 seconds for them to figure out he didn’t get out and get to the line.

especially
… when you have the older players like bruschi that get tired and the patched up secondary of the pats that we have been good at crossing up… (Nice block by marvin to get gonzo his touchdown..

Good game
Yes, it’s a good game and I’m glad we’re ahead, but I’m still concerned about only being able to muster up 7 points in a half. The offense needs to convert third downs!
hmm
you think Bob is keying on Moss?

did we get caught with 12 men or not…why the flag,,, and then how can you challenge…

So...
To review…We played that with only 10 guys trying to engage in the play? And still didn’t give up yards? I smell a new strategory…
Freeney was doubled

before Brock's hit
Cassel would have tucked and run on that play
it's like they get in the huddle
and say “ok guys, 3rd and 8, so we can only give up 8 yards this play. Only 8!”
the hit on Cassel
was great. But, the Colts have zero pass rush. It’s difficult to compete when the opposing QB has all day to throw. We should be blowing out a Cassel-led Patriots team!
Same old song and dance
The Indy defense sucks.
no pass rush
and pathetic run stopping….. we get a lead, and still can’t do it… somebody smack meeks in the head…
Hey but we stopped the two point…

and if he screwed up he’d lose his last time out too…

Wow, I thought Faulk got in on the two
We’ll take it though. That’s so stupid to try that, don’t chase points.

good run back at least...
An expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing...
I keep thinking
one of these weeks, something is going to kick in for the defense. Like maybe we’ll get a pass rush on the opposing quarterback, or maybe we’ll be able to stop the run. This is pathetic! Manning and company better go down and get 7 real quick or I’m going to be seriously pissed.
I'm worried
about a 3 and out after the O hasn’t played for like 45 minutes
hope not - maybe peyton has had time to get pissed off.

The LBs need to do better against the run

a second half lead? sure beats trying to come from behind.
Now a quick stop by the D PLEASE!!!!!!
Can we for once put a game away???

The 2 Point Conversion
Had both Addai and Dom in the backfield. Don’t remember seeing that before. Could be interesting out of the shotgun.

no rush yards
I don’t think we had any rush yards on that drive… or very few… Well whatever works..

yes, hope the defense shows up too.
However, they haven’t since the superbowl run. Maybe now will be the time?
why is ratliff smiling
you just gave up a free 9 yard play
he sold out to stop the completion

I'm sick about it

is a complete moron! My grandmother could have gotten that yard.
Belichcik actually did something smart
Take the points when you can.

It's amazing
that Tony was able to put the best defense on the planet together in Tampa, but consistently puts substandard defenses on the field in Indy.
Having Monte Kiffin
Doesn’t hurt. Or having Derrick Brooks…Warren Sapp…

who would have thought
that after 8 games every team in the AFC east would have a better record than the Colts?
I wish our running game
did more than just “keep the D honest”
in my humble opinion
gonzalez isn’t on the field nearly enough

that's the only time
illegal formation can be called on the defense, right?
I'm seriously beginning to wonder about J. Addai
He did pretty darn good last year, but this year he looks awful.
The OL isn't getting the LBs blocked
there aren’t any holes for him or Dom

im just excited about
Session making a tackle on a 13 yard gain by the pats and then he celebrates like he won the game…
at least
we’re letting them move quickly down the field so we’ll have time to go back the other way

Wow, thankfully David Thomas is an idiot
I know they have no time outs, but still, 4th and 15?? The Colts haven’t ran the ball for anything, that’s just STUPID by Belichick.
We like Belichick doing stupid things.

gonzo had the TD’s
Wayne had huge catches including the +2
Peyton made a lot out of only a few opportunities.
4-4
It’s not fantastic by any stretch, our remaining road games suck, but there is no reason we don’t beat Cincy, Detroit, and Houston at home.
Long season, let’s get that card

When was the last time we stopped a 4th and 1? Really?

If it wasn't for
the personal foul call and the dropped pass which would have been a sure TD…..the Colts would have lost. That’s pretty bad, considering Brady’s not even playing. However, I’ll take the win! Go Colts!
hey the ball bounced good for us for once...
we have had more than our fair share of it bouncing the other way this season so far.
Go Colts!

You're right
Marked Hoosier, they should have gone for it. Just shows you what a ‘genius’ Belicheat is. Teams are going to get that yard 99 times out of 100 against the Colts D.
