And notches the colts first score in pittsburgh since the sixties… Nice after how they went on about it all week.. This was also the first loss to an AFC team by pittsburgh. Let’s hope houston at home next week is a bit less of a nail biter… Would be nice to have another game more like playing the ravens..

… but I noticed about half-way through the game that Hines Ward always seems to be smiling and just enjoying the game. Nice to see for a change.

The offense doesn’t seem like itself. The defense is as bad as its ever been. I hope they feed off of the win over the Steelers and play like we’ve been used to in previous years.

I looked up some stuff today because the defense has been driving me nuts. The Colts have punted more than our opponent in every game played this year. Every QB that we’ve faced with the exception of Tavaris Jackson has had a great day.

Maybe its my disdain for zone coverage, but I often wonder how many Super Bowls we could have won if we just ran a normal defense or even used man coverage once in a while.

I’m still waiting on some idiot to ask where the other 3 good teams are…haha

is the first in a long while that we don’t have any real gimme games… Houston is NOT a gimme, or any one else after. it is just one week at a time, and this week I hope we play a Texans team much better than we did last time.

Im with you….one game at a time. no game is a gimme. you would think after minnehaha and houston…the gimme talk would end. but I like how this team is looking right now. even though it wasnt pretty we beat new england and we handed baltimore their lunch as well as what I thought was a pretty darn good game vs pitt at their place and where its been 40 years since our last win.

we are starting to build momentum and our wins against the three in the wildcard hunt will be huge. that was the season right there. that win was absolutely necessary.

Still waiting for the real Marvin Harrison and Joe Addai to stand up, but it’s hard to be too critical after a really tough win like that. Just going to enjoy it for a bit I think.

they belong in the canadian football league, and might not win there either. bengals are a gimme too. wait, what’s that you say jags fans? ok so maybe the bengals are only 75% gimme.
look for the jets to fade down the stretch. indy doesn’t play another winning team until the titans come to visit. i’ve said it many times, the colts are a lock for a wild card. no way they take care of NE and PITT two weeks in a row and then fade away against a much easier second half schedule.
