Vince Verhei: Dallas Clark scores to put Indy up 21-20, and on the next play from scrimmage Clint Sessions gets a pick-6 to make it 28-20. Is anyone surprised? The Colts are the best example of a team that can be down 17-0 in the first half, and people just assume they're going to come back at the end.

This one was funny and a little distrubing

Aaron Schatz:

…Somewhere in Miami, there’s a little bell going off in Mercury Morris’ head. Time for another 15 minutes of fame, Mercury.

Just for the shake not seeing the Mercury Morris idiot again, I hope the Colts lose one regular seaosn game.

Peyton Manning makes it Wayne on them hoes!!!!

I don't think Ive ever seen a team

that can just explode at random for points like this. It’s uncanny. Its unnatural. Its undeniable. Its uncola. Its underwear. Etc…

Belief-ability – 84%

Will have to conquer the VY Jellies before I get over 90%.

Never doubt Peyton Manning, he’ll make you look silly
Joseph Addai is a good running back.
Im a douchebag, an asshole, and I'm rarely right.

I hope he does talk

So we can shut him up in Febuary. The goal isn’t to go undefeated though.

Clint Session

Should he just change his name? I mean, 90% of the English-speaking world automatically gives him an extra “s,” so why not go with the flow?

I hate Joe Namath. That's how long I've been a Colts fan.

I noticed in his post-game conference

even Manning called him Sessions… whoopsie!

How can you not love a team that does this?

I heard Gumbel

and Co. say that too during the game. I don’t know why everyone calls him Sessions. I never have, and I can’t figure out why everyone else does.

Go figure.

The best part is that his name is on the back of his jersey, giving Gumbel and Co. no excuse for not getting his name right.

Did anyone else notice that the Texans fans never really got excited as they pulled out to a 17 point lead. They were happy and cheering, but you just had the feeling that they were a bit reserved, and rightly so. The last time these two teams met in Houston, the Texans were up by 17 (I think that was the point difference) and the Colts wound up beating them. I don’t think the fans would have felt comfortable unless they were up by at least 4 touchdowns.

That reminds me of ME about 8 years ago

It seems like Manning and Co needed a 21-pt first half cushion from 1999-2002, and even then I was nervous.

Vic Fangio defense….

Ouch!

From the linked Football Outsiders page:

I thought maybe the Texans could pull it off, but Matt Schaub is like this perfectly constructed quarterback, except that there’s one crucial part put in backwards, and it’s guaranteed to malfunction at the worst possible time

Nice line.
