its not peyton

chicken littles, cowards, and spoiled.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say you’re out of touch with reality.

We are spoiled. Our standards are set quite a bit higher than most fans because our team has the ability to live up to them.

I, for one, had a feeling this game was going to be a nail biter. The 9ers can be a dangerous team.

And, I agree. When a team pulls out a win like this, it says something about them. While my blood pressure doesn’t like these games I can see the definition of the word “team” when they pull out the win.

They got it done. They have the ability and desire to get it done even when everything is not going perfectly for them.

Peyton had an “off” day, its true. Its also true how amazing it is to look at it that way upon seeing his stats. We are lucky to have him. We should never take him for granted (I know I am guilty of this) and he is definitely the best QB in the game.

to show that not only are close games good for the soul, but they have physical implications that make winning them more gratifying.

if anyone out there has or knows of someone with experience in sports psychology, I’d be interested to hear from you. Email is in my profile.

If you want to do an article this week thats not mired in name calling or opinions, how about this one:

The past 3 games have seen the explosive offense of the Colts slowy disappear, replacing it with the offense from last year. The ANY/A is going down, Peytons attempts are going up. Hurries/Hits are going up (even if you don’t factor yesterdays game), and YAC are going down. The things that were covering up the lack of a running game in the previous 3 games are now highlighting the inability to run the ball.

On top of that, while the front 7 of the Colts has certainly been great, there have been more than a few breakdowns in the back end of the defense on both runs and pass plays, that havent been taken advantage of by future HoFs like Collins, Bulger, and Smith. One thing that seems interesting to only me: The Colts defense seems better when Kelvin Hayden ISNT on the field.

Obviously its easy to point to these things and go ‘7-0, bitch’, but I have a more long term view. There is still a long way to go, hell, Texans fans are already saying DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP! and they are 3.5 games down in the standings (counting divisional tie breaker), but I still have higher aspirations for this team than just making the playoffs, and right now, there are some red flags showing up, and have been for the past 3 games, that you, in particular, seem to just hide in a cloak of spoiled, or too high expectations. I think its reality, and if you really want to cover the Colts, its okay to be honestly critical of them.

You are preaching too much today…spoiled? Give me a bread dude. I’m glad you let everyone know that you are level headed, and enjoy close games.

I don’t mind close games with teams like the Pats, or any other very good team…but not against teams that we should beat by double digits.

That said..a win is a win and I’ll take it!

All the highlight shows were ragging on the Colts. It’s beyond belief that you can gut out a close win against a desperate talented opponent and all of a sudden you’re a bunch of bums. A win’s a win’s a win in my book. And the 49ers have some players on both side of the ball. If we did this against the Seahawks I’d be worried.

oh, and the AP coverage was pretty brutal if you haven’t seen it: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=291101011

That joke of “analyst” Golic said this morning that the Colts didn’t look impressive yesterday and that there’s no team in the AFC who looks really good. You would think that the Colts had lost that game. Clearly he didn’t watch yesterday and his just looking at the score because the Colts D shut the 49ers down in the second half.

Sanders’ INT and Freeney and Mathis’ sacks kept the Colts in the game. If anything, this was the most impressive win for the Colts D because they simply dominated the game. It also showed that Colts weren’t winning games just because of the offense, but fbecause of the defense, too.

 The Saints’ D have allowed over 21 pts in each of their wins while the Colts have allowed just 13 (even lower if you take out the garbage TDs from the Seattle game). Call me when the Saints win because of their defense, until then, the Colts are the best team in the NFL…right now.

none i know our saying division champ. If you read my comments, i said the colts allready basically have a bye, so what is one measly little loss to the texans.

look at it from our end

we had our team taken from us by an SOB owner that i wish would burn for eternity.

we finally get an NFL team, and for years they SUCK.

we have a 1-13 record against your colts, and we are FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER 5-3 at the halfway point.

We are just excited to play meaningful games in novemeber and hopefully december.

im not calling anyone names, except this cheating thing is a little babyish, but yall seem to be past that.

i would think yall could say something nice like, "hey welcome to the AFC SOUTH where you are 2nd for the first time ever.

you all know how rough it was before peyton came there, so yall should now how I feel.

so how much of a chance do my texans have to win this week.

indy favored by 8-1/2 would be my guess.

this would be the biggest win in texans history, and if indy goes to 7-1 who cares, i though yall dont want a bye anyway.

just friendly banter.

SCHAUB FOR MVP!!!!!

is it will give the Colts a bit of a wake up call. They still havent reached their full potential on both sides of the ball. Its time to get players healthy and work out all the kinks, to combat the toughest opponents on the schedule. Im sure glad that players, like the offensive linemen, aren’t happy with their performance. The last couple of weeks there was room for improvement. This week, there is plenty of it

dont get me wrong, Im thrilled that the team is 7-0. Last year showed me you cant take that record for granted. This is a special team and has unlimited potential, but to show that they must be able to play complete games. So far that has yet to happen.

being an iowa hawkeye fan, sundays after the heart attack saturdays, the colts games have been theraputic. I dont need the colts to be thrilling close. give me a route and let my heart get back into beat.

the bashing of the colts. if you are an iowa fan, the bashing of the colts is NOTHING and I mean NOTHING compared to our hawks.

please crush them next week colts. and glad to see bob back! and making his presence known immediately. some fans dont want to be traded!!!!

We lose so rarely, we are definately spoiled. And these types of games are the norm, not the expception in the NFL.
