Saints “Brees” to 31-17 Win Over Colts

Drew Brees hoists the most coveted trophy in football. It was 10-0 Colts before you could blink. Jim Caldwell eschewed his normal zone defense and dialed up man-to-man defense. Drew Brees was discombobulated, completing only three of his first seven passes. Then the first quarter ended. On second and two from their own 34-yard line Colts strong safety Melvin Bullitt was called [read more...]

But Indianapolis Colts (16-2) head coach [read more...]

NFL Playoffs: Chalk Prevails ——- Almost

Mark Sanchez leads his teammates in celebration of their win over San Diego. Chalk was the motif for this weekend’s playoffs. New Orleans buried Arizona 45-14. Then Indianapolis dispatched of Baltimore 20-3. Early Sunday Minnesota crushed Dallas 34-3. The bye week teams won comfortably and with energy while the Wild-Card playing teams looked tired and under-prepared, and overmatched. Until we got to [read more...]

Ray Rice after scoring on the first play of the game Sunday. Sunday, Captain Ray “Ahab” Lewis finally conquered the whale.

NFL Week 15: Carson Throws Like #15 Was On the Field; Titans Miracle Run Continues; Ben Goes Over 500′; Eagles QBs Hurt; 10 Teams Between 6-8 and 8-6

The Cincinnati Bengals gather in remembrance of deceased teammate Chris Henry before their game with San Diego. Parity baby, parity. Exactly one-third of the NFL’s 30 teams have records between 6-8 and 8-6; five are better than 9-5; five are 9-5, and 10 are 5-9 or worse. That must be pretty close to Commissioner Roger Goodell’s dream Bell Curve for the [read more...]

Sunday Morning NFL Fare: Peyton Manning, the Best QB Ever? Not Even close

John Unitas, not Peyton Manning was the Colts best QB ever - and perhaps the greatest in NFL history. Is Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning the greatest quarterback of all time? Not even close. If you think there are “Tom Brady” rules about hitting QBs in the knees, think about the overall rules created for offenses that benefit someone like Manning. Marshall Faulk, [read more...]

NFL Week 13: Teams Strengths, Weaknesses Show They are What They Are

Chad Ochocinco dons a poncho and a sombrero after scoring against the Lions. Bronx cheers go out to the referees in the New York Giants-Dallas game, the Dallas secondary, Jeff Fisher for turning a 24-16 game into a 27-10 deficit, and the Washington Redskins organization for failing to do much of anything correctly. ——————————— Indianapolis (12-0) 27, Tennessee (5-7) 17. Though the [read more...]

NFL Week 11: Patriots Revenge, the Oakland Fly Trap Eats Again, and More…

Jay Cutler contemplates the latest way he found to lose a game for the Chicago Bears. Oakland (3-7) 20, Cincinnati (7-3) 17. Sunday showed the Bengals immaturity. After jumping out to a quick 14-0 lead, too many Bengals players took the reset of the game off thinking the Raiders would pack it in; some appeared mot to show up at all [read more...]
