Whilst I agree with a lot of what you’re saying, i feel i might be setting myself up for another huge disappointment ala week 1. A few things: firstly, our D was awful on Sunday against Matt Forte and as good as he is, he is not AP and our run D really has to step up. I completely agree that the Vikes passing game is not stellar and this should help us in our ability to stop them running the ball at will, but a caveat to that is that I actually thought Tavaris Jackson showed some promising glimpses in the second half against the pack after a horror show first half. Their WR corps are better this year with Berrian but our secondary should (please God) dominate. Last thing and again blindingly obvious, their run D is brilliant and Addai does not seem to be on form. I know there has only been 1 game but he played poorly at the end of last year and it it his form that is really giving me palpitations. If we want to contend this year we need him to step up and be the player we know he can be. With that said, we need our boys to crap all over their awful pass defence and that means reggie and marv holding thie catches! I think Peyton did about as well as he could be expected to do in week one, he just didn’t get any help, this week I think a pissed off colts offense comes good. Colts by ten in minnesota!

i think you’re pretty much spot on with that. The play calling was awful and didn’t give him much of a chance and that was compounded by the o-line being shorn of so much talent. If it sounded like i’m beating too much on addai, that wasn’t the intention, he’s obviously a quality back, i’m just anxious for him to get back to some of the form he showed early last season and it isn’t going to get any easier for him next week in Minnesota.

After seeing what the Vikings have to offer, I really don’t think that we have to worry about the vikings much!

I hope your team has the same attitude. They obviously had that attitude going into the Chicago game.

And that’s what scares me.

I think we will win, but I’m not sure. My confidence was knocked down after the Bears game. Federkeil sucked badly. We will need him to play better for the run game to get going.

1LT Bryant,

First thanks for serving our country to keep my family safe. A million thanks for your service.

Second, I feel the Colts kind of got caught with a big head. Like a prize fighter that takes the first REAL jab in a big fight from an underdog. Not that I’m taking away from the Bears because they were playing well Sunday.

The Colts will be fine IMO because they will learn from this and come out swinging from here on out. I think what we saw last week was them coming out flat, catching a good Bears team at the wrong time, and basically underestimating what it would take to win.

Versus the Viking I think the Colts will be more precise. They will hit harder and play smarter.
