After another dismal performance, it's hard to find too many bright spots in a game that was decided by halftime. Eric Foster, we need you now more than ever!

The finalists are:

Curtis Painter (running not throwing): Doing his best Michael Vick impersonation, Painter ran the ball 7 times for 79 and a ridiculous 11.3 ypc average. Sadly, his 79 yards made him the Colts leading rusher on the day.

Dallas Clark: 6 receptions for 77 yards and a 12.8 ypc average. Dallas seems to have broken out of his slump and is now once again a reliable target down the middle.

Pierre Garcon: 7 catches for 66 yards and a 9.4 ypc average. The Colts most consistent receiver this year, Garcon again turned in another strong performance giving him 37 catches on the year.

Pat Angerer: Another double digit tackling performance, Angerer still leads the league with 80 tackles after recording 10 total tackles (5 solo).

Says the guy who told everyone Angerer sucks earlier on this year...

You said he does nothing to improve the rush D and can’t admit you’re wrong. He’s not to blame for the poor performance from the secondary in fact he’s made touchdown saving tackles because the DBs blew it many times. The guy is a beast. He can’t do everything. I would say that he has done a better job of getting the D off of the field than any other Colts player.

It’s time for you to shut up and eat crow for being wrong. Quit saying you know and see things that idiot fans don’t in defensive players. So far you’ve been nothing but wrong, but you’re so diluted that you keep waiting to be proved right. It’s over, you aren’t any better of a player scout than Kim Kardashian.
