Colts are being decimated with injuries. Winning that division is going to be incredibly tough especially with health being a concern. Pats/Colts/Chargers are being hit hard with injuries.![]()
I would agree...thus far. I think as the season moves on, the traditiional powers will be duking it out for the playoffs (Pats, Colts, Chargers, Jaguars, Cowboys, Giants, Redskins, Seahawks) with possibly some new players to the party (Buffalo, Tennesee, Philly, Arizona).

During Manning's tenure, the Colts have been damn lucky with injuries during the regular season (don't talk to me about the postseason, or my girlfriend will stab you). Our luck was bound to change.
That said, I am still devastated about losing to Jacksonville, a team with a storied history of choking against the Colts.
As good as Payton Manning is if you can't protect him it severely limits his effectiveness. He just needs his offensive line to jell a little more and they will be back to the team everyone loves to hate.![]()
I have to agree. Also, I assumed that a precision-timed, finesse offense is going to suffer for missing its HOF QB for the entire pre-season. I know, it's a pretty radical idea...
Colts worried about porous run defense
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_yl...v=ap&type=lgns
The last time the Colts were this bad against the run they won the Super Bowl.
When I first saw that our bye week was in September, I was very disappointed that it was so early. This will actually prove to be a blessing now.
The RCA dome was deflated yesterday, but not imploded yet.

Is it too late to put the seats back in??!?!
We need all the help we can get!
While sidelined with an ankle injury, Sanders has knee surgery.
http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/8610724?MSNHPHMA
At 1-2, the Colts aren't off to the start they would like — not even close. This news isn't going to help.
All-Pro safety Bob Sanders, already sidelined for 4-6 weeks with a high ankle sprain, recently underwent arthroscopic surgery on one of his knees.
Indianapolis owner Jim Irsay explained the decision to the Indianapolis Star.
"The feeling was the high ankle sprain would take longer (to recover from) than the scope,'' Irsay told the Star. "I think they just cleaned out a few things (in the knee).''
It was not immediately clear on which knee the surgery was performed.
Sanders, the 2007 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, is in the first year of a five-year, $37.5 million contract that includes $20 million in guaranteed money.
"I knew when we did the contract that he's such a rare talent that you have to live a little bit with the possible injuries that come up,'' Irsay told the Star. "Bob is so combustible, so physical. He's so dynamic and such a rare individual.
"It's something you knew (was possible), but you know he might get on a lucky streak and go a year or two without having anything.''
so, is he gonna have a game this season where he doesn't throw a pick?
It's not looking like it.
He's starting to look like Favre out there.
We just can't catch a break with injuries this year.
And who was it that said Sanders being out wasn't a big deal?
Sense? Was that you?
Yeah..I just changed it. Thanks.
mono I'll trade you Peyton Manning for Jake Delhomme straight up in the ST fantasy league. Interested?
That's bad!
