Recap Week Seventeen: Colts 23-Titans 0

Dallas Clark outruns "flag lover" Keith Bulluck

All week leading up to the game, folks like me spent a lot of time calling out the Tennessee Titans and their coach. They acted like immature punks following their win over the Pittsburgh Steelers last week, and spent most of the week prior to this game running from their actions like cowards. While the final regular season game between the Titans and Colts was meaningless in terms of playoff seeding, I gotta say:

It felt damn good to see our guys kick their butts up and down Lucas Oil Stadium for 4 quarters.

Oh, and I hope you noticed that after the Colts used the Titans as their own personal play thing for those 4 quarters, they didn't take a "Titans Towel" and start dancing on it. When they gun sounded, they shook hands, left the field, and started talking about the playoffs. This is what mature, professional teams with long standing, winning traditions do. They don't mock the opponent. They don't act like children making fun of the dorky kid in gym class. They don't act like brats. What they do is act like they've been there. They act as if the expect it.

Here (just to show those who don't know) is how real men look and act when they win:

Now, onto the game itself.

Unlike the laughable posturing of Jeff Fisher throughout the week (when he fooled his own fanbase into thinking he'd play his starters in a meaningless game), Tony Dungy made it clear he would sit several starters going into the game. Peyton Manning played one series. He went 7-7 for 95 yards and a TD. That TD was a 55 yard catch and run by Joseph Addai, who finally looks healthy. Addai outran the entire Titans defense, including Cortland Finnegan. The Titans then get the ball. Against a defense minus Dwight Freeney, Robert Mathis, and Bob Sanders, the Titans go three-and-out. Though Tennessee sat Chris Johnson today, they still had LenDale White, Kerry Collins, and most of their starting offense. But, even with great field position, they went three-and-out, punted, and Indy got it back. Jim Sorgi was now the QB, and came out throwing the ball well. He guided Indy to a Adam Vinatieri FG, making it 10-0.

Then, Tony Dungy showed that he wanted to win the game early.

The Colts executed an onside kick with 15 seconds left in the first quarter. The Colts got the ball and tacked on another FG. At this point it is 13-0, and Kerry Collins' day was done. Fisher starts pulling starters despite his saying all week that the Titans would "play to win." Fisher's attitude about the game did not sit well with Titans fans.

From hal41605 at MCM:

fisher can talk about "playing to win" to the media during the week before the game all he wants, but that’s not what happened on the field today. we looked like the cardinals in the snow in new england effort-wise.

From BeansCarter at MCM:

The biggest disappointments were losing like that to our greatest divisional rival, and having Fisher misrepresent his intentions. He clearly didn’t give a shit about winning the game and he should have actually prepared for it instead of giving everyone the day off for Christmas and phoning in a gigantic egg.

The rest of us laugh because if you believed Fisher during the week, you were a bit naive. He and the Titans wanted to get in and out of this game ASAP without any major injuries. They could have given a rat's ass about winning it. And what they ran into was a highly motivated Colts team that wanted to stick it to them. After the game, Fisher all but admitted the Titans did little game-planning or preparation for the contest:

"[The Colts are] playing very, very well, but there's a chance we may play them again, so we just lined up and played today," he said.

The Colts tacked on another FG before halftime and a fourth quarter TD to ice the game. Even though most of the game featured a battle of back-ups at key positions, the Colts defense played very well. Rookies Marcus Howard and Curtis Johnson generated good rush from the DE positions, causing 2 sacks and a forced fumble. Tennessee's run game was non-existent, and their defense was pushed all other the field by a kid activated off the practice squad named Lance Ball. Ball had 83 yards on 13 carries.

The other tiny element to this game was the Vince Young "factor." Vince played a bit in this game, and looked truly awful. In fact, he looked so awful he was yanked. Yes, the once "great" Vince Young was yanked in a meaningless game he didn't even start in. Vince has fallen very far, and I think his career in Tennessee is over. We'll see.

During and after the game, the Colts achieved some truly amazing milestones:

  • Indy set an NFL record by allowing only 6 TD passes all season. In the modern NFL, which is built and geared around the pass, that is a mind-blowing stat.
  • Indy set an NFL record by winning at least 12 games six seasons in a row. No team in NFL history has ever done that. Not Montana's 49ers or Bradshaw's Steelers. No one, save our Indianapolis Colts.
  • Marvin Harrison passed Cris Carter for #2 all-time in receptions. Sadly, Fanhouse's Michael David Smith proved he is a douche in his little write-up on Harrison's achievement, but no matter. Marvin is one of the greatest WRs ever to play this game, and Michael David Smith is a punk who allows his bias against Harrison to cloud his sh*tty writing.
  • Dallas Clark passed John Mackey's single season yardage record for a Colts TE. Dallas got 848 yards this season while Mackey had 829 in 1966.
  • Peyton Manning passed for over 4,000 yards for the 9th time in 11 seasons.
  • The win gave Indy a winning record in the division at 4-2. Tennessee was hoping to sweep them for the first time since 2002. Didn't happen.
  • The 23-0 shutout was the first time in the Bill Polian-Peyton Manning era that the Colts defense shutout an opponent. The last time the Colts shutout another team was a 47-0 smackdown of the Jimmy Johnson-coached Miami Dolphins in 1997, the year before Peyton Manning was drafted.
  • The Colts end the 2008 regular season with five players catching 45 or more passes. Had Dominic Rhodes played and caught 5 balls, they'd have had five players with 50 or more catches.

For a Titans fan's take on the game, please`check out Jimmy at Music City Miracles. I may say harsh things about their coach and some of their players, but they are a much improved team from last year. They deserved to win the AFC South, and have had a magnificent 2008 regular season.

For us Colts fans, all in all, this was a wonderful ending to a very roller coaster-like 2008 regular season. As we have seen over the years, starting is important, but finishing is vital. The Colts finish this regular season winning nine straight games. They've beaten New England, Pittsburgh, San Diego, and Tennessee. They have the soon-to-be-or they-better-not-have 2008 NFL MVP in Peyton Manning. After a 3-4 start, this team has risen up and come together. This is why no matter what happens in the playoffs, I'm proud of this squad. This has been one of my favorite regular seasons ever. Next week, the new season begins, with a new tempo and higher intensity

But for now, enjoy and relish in what these guys have done this 2008 regular season. Never doubt.

Go Colts!

Don’t like that you used Tom Brady for that picture. He doesn’t exactly exemplify good sportsmanship.

He's a tool, but he's never done anything bad

while still standing on the field. He makes a few backhanded remarks and runs the score, but other than that he hasn’t been that terrible.

Hey Colts:

Do us Broncos fans a favor and absolutely kick the s##t out of the Dolts next week. They have no class, and I want to see someone knock that f#####g uppity-ass grin of Syphillis Rivers’ face once and for all. Send in Dwight Freeney to break his jaw if you have to. You have my support and the support of Bronco Nation. This week, we are Colts fans.

And sorry about all the profanity. Talking about Syphillis Rivers gets me fired up.

vince was not "yanked"

they have been saying here all week that simms would play. do some research pre-spouting off . they treated it like a pre-season game all the way, and no that is no defense. it was unprofessional and border line embarrassing to care so little about a rivalry game. with that said, at least we didn’t have any $100 mil franchise players wearing a neck brace and a back board today. that really is the only positive thing i can say from the titans side of things.

MVP

As I predicted in my Rage Against the Media post, Peyton will not win his 3rd MVP. The award will go to Pennington or Adrian Fumbleson. The media has been begging for someone to do anything to take the award away, and while no one did, the fact that they won their divisions and Peyton basically sat in week 17 will be more than enough. If you read/listen carefully you can already see it coming. My guess would be Pennington, but Peterson is a media darling, so it will be close.

No way

Michael Turner should win it over those two. You may be right, but if I was going to vote I would have Peyton 1, Turner 2, and all the others somewhere later on.

I'm not saying who I think should win it...

In my mind its Peyton, and its not really remotely close. I’m sure people outside of this blog would say thats bias, but when you look at the other candidates they’ve had a lot of factors that really put them below Manning: 1) easier schedule, 2) better supporting cast, 3) better health, 4) a defense that doesn’t require you to be more perfect than buttercup’s breasts, 5) divisions where the winner of the division jumped out to such a huge freakin lead that they were forced to basically win 8 in a row to make the wild card.

Seriously, every time I hear someone talk about SD today I’m hearing, ‘well, they have the advantage, they’ve been in playoff mode for 4 weeks!‘. Uhm, ok? What have the Colts been in for 8 weeks, super model humping mode? Seriously, after losing to the Titans, the Colts basically had to win out to have a shot. That was the only way they controlled their playoff lives (avoiding destiny, I don’t want Bob Costas to beat my ass like Juan Valdez when he’s pickin his coffee in the morning).

I find it kind of ironic that...

you mention how classy the colts are several times in your post, but all you do is rip on the Titans. I wish some of that class that the colts DO HAVE, would rub off on comments.

TO ALL OTHER COLTS FANS:

Congrats on a very impressive win. I’ve mentioned several times at MCM that I am scared to death of the Colts. I hope either you guys lose (nothing personal, selfish reasons) or tha that the Ravens win so we don’t have to see you. The Ravens or Chargers could beat us too, I just think that highly of Dungy and Manning.

Good luck in the postseason and congrats on your 9 game winning streak. You are going to be a tough out in the playoffs.

Thank you BBS for the recognition

It’s nice to get recognized sometimes, and for once I can’t completely rip BBS for what he wrote.

I’m mad at Fisher duping me. I’m of the Mike Tomlin/Tom Coughlin school of thought where you play late season games with the intent of winning. I also thought Fisher was.

Getting shut out by you guys is more painful to me than getting my balls nailed to a burning building. And I know that you all know that, so enjoy the moment guys, I’m f*cking pissed.

The one comforting thing I can take away is that clearly, the Titans did not give away any strategy whatsoever in the way they lined up yesterday. If there is to be a rematch in the playoffs, this game will not provide the Colts with any useful information for gameplanning.

Now we have two weeks to prepare for what will (IMHO) likely be a rematch for us against the Ravens. The Colts, on the other hand have a week to prepare for a hungry, streaky Chargers team that is eager for revenge.

Despite Manning’s fantastic month of December, the rest of the Colts team has been fairly pedestrian. Vegas opened the Colts-Chargers as a pick/em, and as much as I’d love to play the Colts again in this post-season, I really feel like the Chargers are the perfect team to take you guys out early and end this nauseating orgiastic love-fest between the media/Dungy/Manning. Pretty sure most of you realize that you have not had a quality win in a long time, and as such I know you are probably terrified of your matchup in Qualcomm this weekend.

Fairly sure the best teams will win this weekend. Are the Colts one of them?

The Colts have won them all, not sure how much more quality/unquality that can get. We didn’t only put up 12 to the Texans, I know that, for sure. I don’t know if the Colts will win the Super Bowl, but I, for one, am not all that terrified. I’m not a player. I realize that you and halnumbers is apparently part of the Titans organization, but I just get to sit back and enjoy the fun.

by Nideak on Dec 29, 2008 12:22 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

A win is a win

Get over the whole idea that since the Colts only won by 4, they suck.
I’d take a 4 point win in the Super Bowl any day of the week.

by yellowsnow on Dec 29, 2008 5:36 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I never said the colts suck

And I don’t think that.

I just don’t expect you guys to win in the playoffs.

by BeansCarter on Dec 29, 2008 5:39 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

And even if they had put up 1, the Colts still won the game. I don’t care how many points you put up, in a winning effort. I have two general rules

1) I’m not gonna score 12 points against the texans if texans have scored > 12 points

2) I’m not gonna throw a challenge flag with 3 minutes left in the game and my team is winning by double digits.

The first makes me a crappy team

The second makes me a loser.

Not to mention

that BeansCrater’s claim that the Chargers have a revenge factor is non existent. If anything, the Colts have revenge on the mind for last years painful playoff loss and ruining what could have potentially been a perfect season in ’05.

One win this year against the Chargers doesn’t settle the score Beans.

Not had a quality win in a long time?

I got news for ya……..every win in the NFL is a quality win. The Colts are getting healthier and better each week too. I’m very confident in their ability to destroy the Titans if that matchup occurs again. I’m also confident in beating the Chargers easily. In fact, I feel very good about a superbowl championship this year. It seems it’s almost better for the Colts to play on the road in a wildcard starting position. By the way, I have respect for what Collins has accomplished this year, but let’s face it, he’s no Peyton Manning. And, with Young and Simms, you probably have the two worst quarterbacks in the NFL, waiting in the wings. You better hope your team is not building your future around those two.

Your right

I was reading some bullshit over on MCM abot how Titans’ fans shouldnt lose faith ecause we whooped ur backups. Now you arent going to see me coming here, or to your site talking shit about your team (until provoked). but dude you can explain it away all you want. I dont care if it was the Detroit Lions second string. Your team couldnt score 1 single point against a backup defense from a team that you and your fellow Titan fans consider soft. Now if my team wasted a #3 overall pick on a person who everyone (including the fanbase) considered soft, I might be upset.

I think that everyone wants a Titans and Colts AFC Chamionship Game. I know I do. I hope to god That I see your team there. And if it isnt the Colts in the Super bowl then I will root for your boys, but they gotta get their first. Quit talkin shiit about something that your team has not accomplished yet.

Good luck in the playoffs.

Pretty sure most of you realize that you have not had a quality win in a long time, and as such I know you are probably terrified of your matchup in Qualcomm this weekend.

Dude, the Colts had plenty of quality wins this season: the Pats, the Chargers, the Steelers, and the Jags just to name a few.

And why would they be terrified to play San Diego at Qualcomm when the beat the Chargers there this past regular season, and last season at Qualcomm when Peyton threw 6 friggin’ pick, yet still had a shot to win the game? They beat the Colts at home in the playoffs only because there wasn’t any dominant pass rusher in that game since Freeney was injured and Mathis was also hurt. Please, Peyton is playing on a whole other level, not even Rivers (who I must say has been darn good) can compete with; and San Diego’s 31st ranked pass defense isn’t gonna stop a man a mission. Peyton has been in sort of zone for the last 2 games. It’s been surreal watching him torch other teams’ secondaries.

Speaking of playing poor competition

Look at the Chargers. They have only beaten 3 teams with an over .500 record the Pats, Jets, and Bucs (who were in complete free-fall mode). That is all while losing to these .500+ teams ..Indy, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Carolina, Miami, Denver and Atlanta. They also lost to Buffalo.

I am not scared of the Chargers at all, I want revenge and I think the Colts can do it.

stems from when the Titans had their good start and that is what we heard over and over. I didn’t like that argument then, and I don’t like it being made about the Colts now. Like Ayrshire said above, all you can do is play who is in front of you. The quality of a win or the opponent doesn’t mean a thing. No, I don’t think the Colts should be too excited about the win yesterday….and I don’t think they are. Just like the Titans shouldn’t be too down about it. All you can do is worry about the next team in front of you. I think going to San Diego is a tough chore for you guys right now. It should be a good game. I’m looking forward to watching it.

Let me try to properly articulate the problem:

I don’t care who the Titans have played. They won 13 games, thats quite a feat. I don’t believe they will win the Super Bowl, regardless of what the Colts do, but still, congratulations (seriously). Its not easy to win 13 games in the National. Football. League (trying to sound like Ron Jaworski).

Here’s my problem:

Since the restructuring of divisions, the Titans have won exactly 1 AFC South Title (this year). They have won as many Super Bowls as I have. They have achieved as many significant NFL achievements as my son (well, he hasn’t robbed anyone of 1/2 of an MVP award, but he’s virtuous). So Titans fans, instead of waiting for, ya know, even the first playoff game, decide to act like Bob after his latest shipment of enzyte arrives. Win something. If you wanna get the tape measure and have a dick waiving contest, you might want to do it against a team in your same size range, like, I dunno, the Jacksonville Jaguars. Or the New York Jets. Ya know, teams that talk a lot. Talk and talk and talk. And when it gets time to walk and walk and walk come up limper than a 50’ foot garden hose.

No, I don’t care who you play, I just don’t care for the arrogant bullshit from a fanbase that has no reason to be arrogant.

Patriots fans might be the shit stains of the world, but atleast their team has won something.

So again, congratulations, now shut your collective holes till your team does something other than wipe your ass with yellow baby wipes.

I made a factual error, this is true, but I’m not talking smack, I’m telling the truth. You have no worth on a message board. You arent here to discuss shit, you’re here to make shit up and each time you get smacked down, you change direction. You’re a troll pure and simple. If you’re so confident that the Colts suck and the Titans are great do 2 things:

1) go obsess over the team you feel is good

2) just say ‘if the Colts go further than the Titans I will end my life’.

Not sure if you actually read my post. I have said absolutely nothing negative about the Colts or arrogant about the Titans. There are some fans that get out of hand and say things. There are Colts fans like that too (I live in eastern Illinois with a majority of Colts fans). I thought the way your head writer wrote his above story was ridiculous, however I think a few of the Titans fans act the same. If you come over to MCM, you would see that most people are very down to earth when it comes to our team.

I know I refuse to think about the Super Bowl. I’m still mad about the Super Bowl loss to the Rams in ‘99. Do I think the Titans will win it all, probably not. But I’m going to root like hell that they do.

You are right, we haven’t won anything…..and the Colts have won one (in Indy). I also remember years and years of bad teams where the dome was often half empty. I remember talk of them leaving Indy because the fan base wasn’t strong. Winning does wonders. They deserved it when they won it and they have a QB that is one of the best ever (of course he stole half of an MVP…kidding). I guess what I’m saying is I don’t appreciate being told to shut my hole. It doesn’t seem like I am the one out of line here.

thanks!

Good luck this weekend. As I’ve mentioned mentioned before…I’m scared to death that we end up playing you guys in 2 weeks (3 weeks would be ok….that would be for the trip to the Super Bowl).

The Colts road will not be easy.

To get to the big dance will most likely require three very tough road matchups. I’d rather be sitting where you guys are. I guess we just wait to see what happens…

You're right coltsfanawalt

Our road won’t be easy. Nothing worthwhile usually is. But, I believe our guys are going to pull it off. I think they’re really hitting their stride. Peyton just has that look these days…..like he’s hungry!

I agree completely.

I believe we are hungry right now, and I believe in this team. At the same time, I am nervous about every game. Too many disappointing postseasons come to mind. But this year seems special. Again, we will see.

Yes, we will definitely see

At this point in the season, all the teams are capable of beating each other. We’ll just have to sit back and hope for the best. However, regardless of what happens, I’m really proud of Peyton for fighting his way back from really difficult circumstances to lead the Colts into contention the way he has. So, at least we have a chance to win it all!

One Hell Of A Game!

Its really comical that both fan bases go at each other like they have, the Colts being under 500 for a while at the start of the season and all the Colts fans heard was how the team was done for by……you guessed it the Titans, which at that time hadn’t any major players injured.

Jump forward into the season and the Colts have Peyton getting back to full strength along with the other injured starters which all this didn’t take place till around the Steelers game by all that is written about when Peyton began to fill like he was up to his own standards.

Move forward more into the season and now the Titans are experiencing injuries to main personal and all they are saying is wait till we get big AL back along with other injured players which is the same thing that they accused us of as making excuses, can’t have it both ways Titans.

What it boils down to is IF the two teams meet again it will be one hell of a game and I don’t see it being a blow out my either one.
