Just Damn. I guess its a changing of the guard in the AFC.

Yea, they are playing like shit. Payton is playing like shit.  Min D is playing good.

The Colts front is really getting man-handled. Both on offense and defense. Manning isn't getting a lot of time, but even when he does, he doesn't look comfortable AT ALL. If they want to make a run at the AFC Championship, they need to get their act together soon.

Anyone notice how Manning isn't running their usual stretch play? He's tossing it to Addai instead. That makes it MUCH easier for the D to read and Minnesota are really making Addai pay. Is it Mannings knee or what? I haven't heard much from the commentators, since my son has been running rampant in the living room...

^ they mentioned it against the Bears,It's Peytons Knee it's the stretch play but instead of making Peyton run out there,IT's a toss...

Jeff Saturday their Center is Out with injury,Plus I think their 2 Gaurds are different than Last year...As a fantasy football guy,It made me nervous to draft the Colts Offensive guy's...especially Addai...

Nice phantom td by the Colts.

Is there a problem with your television set? Pathetic that they couldn't get it more than an inch in using 3 attempts from about a foot out, but the ball was over the line in the freeze-frame side view, despite the camera being set up slightly inside the end zone. The play was reviewed and upheld.

But, damn, the Colts suck. Sure, they're at 15-15 now (as I type this), but their front is still getting absolutely no push. They've always tended to be somewhat undersized, but without Jeff Saturday, they're crap.

If they had not called it a td, do you think it would have been overturned?  I don't.  It was that close.  How pathetic.

I think it would. Take the freeze-frame (which was actually NOT at the furthest forward position, if you note how the ball moves a bit further when they resume play) and draw a straight line down. The ball is over, despite the camera clearly being set up behind the goal line. Seriously, if you can, go back and look at it.

On the other hand, that 2-point conversion looked bad to me. Addai shoots through, but it seems like his knee hits the ground before the final "shoot".

As soon as their O-line gets healthy, specifically Jeff Saturday, watch how fast that offense returns to its former studliness.

It better - I have Addai in two leagues, I can't afford phantom TDs that don't happen.

Could you be a bit more specific by "the Colts suck." Do you mean they might not have a playoff bye clinched two week before the regular season ends? Or do you mean that they might be wresle the first pick overall from the Dolphins?

Suck is a relative term. They might not be as good as last year, but they are a contender.

Right now? No, I don't think they are. I think the Pats would beat them, as would any team capable of applying pressure on the O-line. The Steelers and the Broncos... and I wouldn't be surprised if the Titans and Bills would win as well.

And that's just within the AFC... I'd say even money they're not in the top 5 of the AFC (although not much out).

Even without Ozi and Strahan, the Giants would beat them as well. As would the Cowboys, and probably the Eagles and Packers as well.

Fortunately for them, the Colts have the 0-2 Jags at home followed by their bye week. That should give them a chance to get a little healthier... and then they should be a "contender" again.
