Quick Recap: Colts 17 - Ravens 15

Fieldgoals don't beat the Colts, especially not with a street free agent attempting them. The Colts O struggled with turnovers but put up just enough to win thanks to the Colts D's absolute refusal to break. The Ravens were held to 6 FG attempts and were turned away twice in the redzone. Once settling for a FG after a being stopped on 3 consecutive short yardage runs, a second coming with a Gary Brackett interception at the Colts 15.

Big receiving days for Pierre Garcon and Tom Santi made up for the Ravens shutting down Dallas Clark after his one handed TD grab in the 1st quarter. Defensively Freeney and Mathis were shut out, but Gary Brackett and Clint Session made key plays. Normally I'd post a gameball poll, but I really don't feel any answer but Gary Brackett is acceptable after he led the team in tackles, made the 2nd down goal line stop and snatched the INT that ended the Ravens last offensive drive.

The Colts go to 10-0 and will all but clinch the AFC South if they sweep the Texans next week.

How about big #29?

Gotta put up that poll son.

I love Joe, but Brackett was huge

Addai’s numbers were nothing sexy while Gary made the goalline stop on 2nd down and picked off the Ravens last chance drive in addition to leading the team in tackles.

Jennings had some great pass breakups.

In the first quarter I believe he had 2, yes

But he’s way too inconsistent, way too ‘soft’ in coverage to be called ‘solid’. I’m sorry, I’m not trying to hate on him or anything and not trying to pick fights, but he’s not solid. He’s inconsistent at best.

I noticed a lot

more of the good coverage then the “automatic first down.” He’s our 3rd cornerback. What are you expecting. My saying is that if Jennings is the weak point in your defense, you have a pretty god defense.

you're selling your self short, then

he’s not our 3rd CB option, he was our 5th and now our 4th. I promise you there will never be a time when the Colts go, ‘okay, we can go into this season with Tim Jennings as our #3’ from the off-season on. He may be forced to play there because of injuries, (if he’s even back next year), but he’s not a full time #3 player. He can fill in randomly, but not consistently.

Jennings gave cushion...

… but we’re used to that. The thing is, when he finally gets to the player, he makes the hit, and he brings his guy down. I wish they didn’t have to use him in coverage; I wish they’d play to his strengths. Like possibly pulling off surprise nickle blitzes with him. I mean, he stinks in coverage – 10 yard Tim, anyone? – but I’ll be damned if he doesn’t bring his guy down at the end.

They need to find a real role for him. Special teams gunner, maybe? Nickle blitz (dangerous, I admit, but still…)? Something other than 10 yard separations.

yes, Addai has been amazing

the past 2 games. He’s really been tough and run hard on his runs up the middle, and he’s even taken the magnet out of his pants on stretch plays, allowing him to avoid going out of bounds on every run.

QFT
MVP is the defense… for keeping us in the game. i thought Powers and Lacey played well as did our linebackers

For truth, dammit. For truth. That D kept them out of the end zone (granted, Baltimore’s offense is fairly simple, but still…). And it kept Indianapolis in position to win. That’s exactly what a defense is supposed to do: Position your team for a victory. That way, an offense can be off and still pull the game out.

Isn’t it wonderful to have a defense that can stand teams up? I love it! And they’re still missing players to injuries! How about that?

… he took what Ray Lewis dished out and talked back in return. Now that is a confident man!

Granted, he’s barking above his level – Ray Ray’s a pro bowler, and a legend – but still… you’ve got to admire a guy who’s got the guts to take a Lewis hit and the stones to jump back up in his face after it.

I don’t like seeing that kind of attitude from Garcon. That’s more of a me-first attitude, and it could result in a penalty if he’s not careful.

by Cassieper on Nov 22, 2009 4:50 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I agree in part

Lewis, and the Ravens in general, have an attitude that they’re better than you even when losing. His attitude took a little off Lewis showboating for a good hit.

Much like stupid and clever, it’s a fine line between being confident and arrogant.

by ActionOxford on Nov 22, 2009 4:53 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Yes, agreed

That confidence should be built into something positive, but if left unchecked, it can turn into something ugly. All players bark occasionally, but confident players only do it when it’s warranted. Not just when the guy hitting you is a big name.

Garçon’s got a way to grow, yet. I, too, would rather see him emulate Reggie more. In spite of that, I’m still amazed with the confidence. He can grow right, if handled right. And he’s got a good coaching staff plus a good quarterback to keep him in line.

After last year I wasn’t too big on Addai and to be truthful hell not even the first few games of the season, but the last couple weeks he has really turned it on when we needed. Is he getting crazy yardage? NO. But he is our most consist red zone option right now. Have to admit I LOVE JOE

Plus, everyone’s got to remember that he’s valuable in blocking too. That is not a minimal aspect of his role.

Brown will get his carries. He’s too good. And this is just one game.

Man, I wish he didn't disappear after that catch...

… but hand it to Baltimore, they know how to take things away from you. Everyone’s keying in on Dallas now; look at what New England did? And Dallas made his mark on just one play anyway. Good enough. Good enough in spades.

If we beat Houston...

We’re up five games with five to play and we have the tiebreaker. That’s clinched.

by LukeM on Nov 22, 2009 4:39 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

need to clinch the tiebreaker over the Jags too

if the Colts finished 1-5 or 0-6 and Jags won out they’d win the division

Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.

I think we're going to have another

hm

Paul Kuharksy says the Ravens ‘dominated’ for much of the game.. Really? The Colts are making a habit out of getting dominated, I guess?

I thought the Colts dominated much of the game, and 2 horrid INTs and Tom Santi sort of slowed down the offense.

Never doubt Peyton Manning, he’ll make you look silly

Im a douchebag, an asshole, and I'm rarely right.

by SpazMo on Nov 22, 2009 4:39 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

I have a hard time buying “dominated” when the Colts never felt out of the game. Even last week against the Patriots there was never a point where I thought it was over. It was always “if they score here and get a stop it’s a one score game.” When that’s the case, I don’t see it being a domination.

Bulls*** they "dominated".

They were able to move the ball, but if anything, Indy dominated them. I’d encourage Kuharsky to rewatch the game. Indy imposed it’s defensive will on them. And Indy was able to move the ball. Take away the INT’s and that Santi fumble – those are big, don’t get me wrong, but bear with me here – and you had an absolute ass-kicking. Indy moved the ball basically at will; how many times did they have to punt? Turnovers had to be forced. That’s not a domination; that’s taking advantage of luck. That’s an entirely different thing.

Neither team dominated

It was balanced. However, the Colts, as is their MO this year, seem to make the plays when it counts. Case in point, the Miami game. The whole damn thing.

by ActionOxford on Nov 22, 2009 4:43 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Agreed.

It was more of a pull your hair out game because you don’t know how they’re still in it than a domination game by the Ravens.

I thought the Colts dominated much of the game but had costly turnovers at wrong times but did the Ravens really stop us? I dont think so

After going 10-0

The MSM better give our boy Caldwell some love. Dude is the first rookie head coach to start 10-0. So far he’s made some really good decisions and has kept the Colts head in the game.

Also, my dad said if the Colts win today, the MVP race is basically Peyton’s to lose, but I have a feeling that those stupid voters want to give it to Favre even though he really hasn’t been great.

it’s going to be a tight MVP race this year.

22-25 today

4 TDs, passing to receivers you’d never heard of before this season.

I hate Favremania more than anyone, but he’s in the conversation. Although I think the Vikings “name” defense and All Day will count against him, because Manning is seen as doing it with less.

hard to say

only games against the AFC south, the Bills and Jets (two softies) and the Broncos at home. I can’t see one game out of that list that I would say, ‘eh, not a bad loss’. Im guessing it’ll be an AFC South foe that does it.

Is it me or did the oline do a great job of keeping #18 clean and getting a hat on a man to open the running game? Love the job DeVan is doing. pulling Pollack was way overdue. Thoughts anyone?

#86

I’v always thought that we needed to upgrade the H-back position. I’m not a fan of Robinson due to his limited athleticism and size. If Santi can remain healthy, he showed today that he is a considerable upgrade over #47. I hope the staff realizes this and gives Manning another weapon to work with on the o-line.

by supercolt on Nov 22, 2009 5:19 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

What about your backup TE?

He had a career game against us? Regardless of whether or not people think we out played your Colts, most true football fans in Baltimore know that no matter if we had scored a TD or another FG, Peyton would have done whatever necessary to win that game. It’s just the Stover winning points that kill me, plus the string of losing close games to the better teams in the league w/o winning any of them. Had we beaten the Vikings or Pats or you even once, we’d be in the thick of the Wild Card race instead of sitting a .500 and waiting to see where we draft next April and talking aobut the disappointments and frustrations.

Hope to see you and the Saints or Vikes in the Big Game. Good luck!
