Since both Dallas Clark and Bob Sanders played at Iowa, and since the Colts seem to have such a cushy relationship with Kirk Ferentz, they get the pic for today's college football thread. Just for my two cents, if Iowa and Florida are the last remaining unbeatens in the country, they MUST play in the championship game. The BCS and college football's "league" in general are a joke, but what would make the joke a tragic one is to pit Florida against some one loss SEC team for the championship.

Week 8 MNF: Open Thread

The undefeated Saints host the 4-2 Falcons. The Saints appear to be the NFC's elite, while the Falcons are solidly above average. At home the Saints are the odds on favorite, but in a divisional game against a solid team we could very well see the Saints first loss (which would leave the Colts as the leagues last undefeated).

Drew Brees is on an impressive pace yet again, we should see some fireworks in the passing game as the Falcons pass D ranks 21st in the league by DVOA. The Saints formerly shaky pass D will get another test of it's newfound legitimacy taking on the second best (or best considering how hard the Giants have been slumping the last 3 weeks) passing O they've faced this year.

Tonight we should see either the Saints pass D struggle making them appear far less formidable than they've looked so far, or we'll see some wind taken out of the sails of the "Matty Ice" clutchness meme*.   Either way I'll come out happy.

Well, as I often enjoy saying, we Colts fans are very spoiled. We finally have a game were the Colts are actually having to overcome some adversity, and already EVERYONE in the open threads is total freaking out. Everything from "Kelvin Hayden is overpaid" to "Peyton Manning is having a bad game." Again, I love how 175 first half yards is "bad."

We saw the "Brady Rule" get called for Alex Smith. Prior to the drive before halftime, Smith was playing awful. The 49ers have benefited from a big play and a big penalty.

For all you Chicken Littles out there, this is your third open thread of the game. Enjoy, and relax already.

Another open thread. Frank Gore has a 61 yard TD run, and the Colts running game is very blah right now. However, Bob Sanders has a pick, and despite the long run by Gore, defense is playing well. Keep talking.

After several tough road games, many of which were on primetime TV, the Colts return home to face a tough and desperate 49ers, who are coming off two loses where their pass defense was less than stellar. Alex Smith is now the starting QB for the 49ers again, and onetime free agent haul Nate Clements has been benched for the game. Clements was signed to a massive contract in 2007, making him (at that time) the highest paid defensive player in football. Now, Tarell Brown will start in his place while Clements plays the nickel.

For the Colts, rookie running back Donald Brown is out, meaning Mike Hart will see significant action today for the first time in a year. Also likely out are Marlin Jackson, T.J. Rushing, Jamey Richard, and Tony Ugoh. Adam Vinatieri and Anthony Gonzalez are definitely out.

This is your open thread. Enjoy. Go Colts!
