Boy, looking at the Colts and the Packers it's incredible how they matchup.

The Colts don't run it very well. Last in the league in YPG.

The Colts don't stop the run very well. Over 150 yards a game.

The Colts can obviously throw it well and have a great WR group.

The Colts are effective in YPG allowed throught the air.

Defenses are getting to Manning a little more than in the past having been sacked 9 times in 5 games vs Rodgers 8 sacks in 6 games.

The Colts are hurting and several guys may not play this week.

You could replace the Colts with the Packers in all of the above.

Normally I would say it's so close with the numbers that the edge goes to the Packers being this a home game but I am going with the Pack pulling the game out more because the Colts win/loss record playing away on grass has shown where they are vulnerable.


On the other hand another home loss for us at this point in the season would regress any momentum going into the break and we face some pretty solid teams afterwards.

With the Titans and Jaguars still ahead with two against the Bears it would not bode well for us if we already have four losses. If that were the case we would have to probably go 2-2 in the above games at the LEAST and hopefully not lose to anyone else.

Pivotal BIG game Sunday.

Seems like THE team for Grant to break-out to this weekend. And they don't have Addai which is, as much as I hate injuries, a positive for us as to actually winning the game.

Let's just hope the defense can keep up with Peyton and, if we're leading, we won't do silly things like running it 6 times in a row for about 5 yards. We all saw how that worked out for the Texans last week.

I am a little nervous about this game only because it seems that Manning has his rythme back. However, I think our defense is starting to pick up their game as well. This definitely won't be an easy game. Hopefully the fans give us the edge....and the grass.

Colts picked up McCargo at DE. I know game circumstances dictated some of it, but the Colt held the #2 rushing offense in the league to 50 yards last week. The Colts are getting healthy and rounding into form. I think they win 31-17.

That trade was nixed -- McCargo didn't pass the physical, so he's back in Buffalo. So he won't be there to help them.

How about this?

The 51 yards by allowed by Indy against Baltimore is one of those stats where the numbers don't reflect the quality of play.

Baltimore with the ball in the first quarter:

Drive One: INT by Flacco
Drive Two: 3 and out
Drive three: fumbled, recovered, punt
Drive four: Fumble, Colts ball

End of first quarter score: 17-0. Guess who's winning?

Now you've got a run-first team with no rythm at all and getting your butt kicked away from home.

That first quarter was the mother of silver platters for Indy's rush defense and about the only thing this tells me is if we screw up that bad and end up down 17-0 in the first quarter we will probably not gain a lot of yards on the ground that day.

That should be worth the 10 points right there.
