Oh bummer.
But c'mon they still have a chance at this year's Giants and against the Vikings don't you think? And when Aaron is back they're going to win the last couple games anyway.

Wow, Indy looked awful yesterday. Just awful. Bad on special teams, bad on defense, and bad on offense. Not going to win too many games when you play like that. This wasn't so much about the Colts losing as it was about St. Louis winning. They were certainly the better team today.
Indy cannot run the football at all. I don't know if it's Richardson or if the line is just that bad. Probably a combination of both. But this team cannot play from behind. It's worked a couple of times this year, but without Reggie Wayne, it's not going to happen. Luck is great, but he can't do it all. Her can't be the leading rusher and the leading passer. They've got to figure out a way to run the football. You don't win games when your QB throws 47 passes, 3 of them to the wrong team.
Rams exposed the Colts for what they are today: a very average football team.

I don't think the Niners are that bad. The Panthers could very well be undefeated right now. I think their 3 losses happened in the last few minutes of those games. The true test for both the Panthers and Niners will be when they hook up with the Saints.

Losing Reggie Wayne was a dagger to your offense, they haven't looked the same since. As for Trent Richardson I'm sorry but you guys got raped on that trade, dude has zero vision. You guys will be alright though, you still have Luck even though he looked awful this week.
If it's any consolation two teams that have the ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory are the Bears and especially the Lions so there's still a chance for the Packers.
But yeah, I think the Packers are probably done, and the Bears are in pretty bad shape now also. Chicago's last game was borderline must win and the lost it, and they might have set Cutler's recovery time that much more in trying to play him.
They were in the game right up until the end in their losses to Seattle and Buffalo. Arizona beat them rather handily which concerns me as it gives the Cardinals the tiebreaker over the Panthers and they are only one game behind them at 5-4.
I'm calling it right now... The bears won't resign Jay Cutler next season. He's going to get a HUGE contract by some team that desperately needs a qb (perhaps arizona???) and the bears will draft a quarterback and have Josh McCown as the stop-gap option
That's right. The Cardinals game was the only one I wasn't able to watch this year. They could very well be 8-1
8-1!!! keep rolling Seahawks! Lots of room to improve.

I love listening to Deckerhoff. He's a first-class announcer. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
That had to be a hard game to root for anybody. The two teams with the most slimball front offices and coacing staffs went head to head. The Dolphins have the whole Martin issue, and the Bucs have Greg Schiano as coach who has been a grade A douche along with just being terrible at his job.

But the Bucs have the best CB in the league. Still wonder why the Jets transfered him to Tampa. And why he didn't go to a better team. :dunno:

It's really sad when a great athlete doesn't know when it's time to hang up the cleats. Ed Reed signs with the Jets.

I love Reed but he totally SUCKED in Houston. That hip surgery has really slowed him down so, at age 35, he just can't go after the ball like he used to. The Texans might have been willing to keep him around anyway but when he bad-rapped the coaching after last Sunday's loss to Arizona, that was the last straw.

Another slow start from Indy. The Deputy can't lead us back from a deficit every single game. It would be awesome to start with the lead or at least be able to match somebody. Instead, the Colts ran 3 offensive plays and were already in a 14-0 hole.
They better get this turned around if they want to make the postseason and/or avoid a one and done scenario.
EDIT: If the Colts paid Heyward-Bey per reception, he wouldn't make any fucking money. Dude doesn't catch anything. Total fucking waste.

Agreed, he's got nothing left in the tank.

Well, Reed is in NY now and I bet them at 3 before the move. A Jet loss here and it is over. 2-5 in conference can't be made back up. Wins alone won't do it. 2 left of last 3 with Miami.

Nobody is better at looking mediocre when winning a football game than Indy. Fuck, that was ugly.
Titans were a special teams miscue away from winning that game. Colts have been outscored 35-0 in the first quarter of their last 3 games and won 2 of them. They're only going to make the playoffs because they're in the weakest division in football.
